It is a door into DESCRIPTION OF CANADA and | Quoting the words of Moses as roken | recorded in the old testament book of Deuteronomy, Dr. Matthew B. y Dymond, of Port Perry, in a course of a challenging and enlightening address on Canada at the week] luncheon of y Rotary Clu Tuesday at Hotel Royal, declared that they described in a very real- istic way conditions as we find them in Canada today. Couppled with a gr c description of Canada's 3 Sraph particularly since Confed- eration, its great natural resources, as yet in the main undeveloped, its them in Canada today. Coupled w the future, was a stern warning expansion and its bright hopes for rapid industrial and agricultural that Canadians must ever be on guard for the preservation of the intangibles, the values we know and feel but cannot touch which are at least of equal importance to the continued development and greatness of Canada. "These", said Dr. Dymond, '"'are the things that have been bought, the assets that have been accumulated and built up at tremendous cost, not of dol- lars and cents, or g , but of devoted service and sacrifices of self and even life on the part of thousands of our sons and daugh- ters."

CANADA'S EXPANSION Dr. Dymond dealt at length, quoting the most recent statistics, to show Canada's steady and rapid growth. As predicted by the great Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the 20th cen- tury truly belongs to Canada. To- day she stands third in the produc- tion of forest products and last year had 62 million acres in crop which produced half a billion bushels of wheat and half a billion bushels of mixed grains. In the production of minerals Canada was also a world leader with even greater things to come. In conclusion Dr. Dymond said: "From not too well considered colony to what I believe will be the 'Brightest Gem in the Crown of our Commonwealth', and a leader of great influence among the nations of the world, all in the short spdce of some 50 years, is in itself enough to make of us.a Good Land. And | this we must remain, but we need to bear ever in mind this incon- trovertible fact, that we are not without enemies; forces both with- in and without that seek to under- mine, particularly those intangible assets I have mentioned and to force upon us their ideologies, their way of life and living. They do not seek to lift the down-trodden over whom they shed their great crocodile tears; no, they strive to | § pull down the great mass of free | § peoples to the level of serfdom; and they do all this in the name of | | peace and freedom. Against these I urge we need to be on our guard. But be not mistaken, I would not inflame any to a rabid, narrow Nationalism, for that only leads |: sooner or later to the loss of our freedom as surely as by any other means. I only urge that we all re- mind ourselves often of these words of the old Phrophet Moses: "For the Lord, Thy God, bringeth Thee into a Good Land', etc., and strive constantly to guard with jealous care those intangible values that have made ours a Land, for be assured if these values are up- | held, our material growth cannot |be retarded, for by so doing {we will help our nation to rise to |that level of true greatness that ever has been her destiny." Dr. Dymond was introduced by Rotarian C. Rycroft and thanked by Rotarian Gordon Grobb. THREE-ROOM MODERN all se in Whitby 4-year-old daughter (88b) FOR SALE -- ICE BOX.
