,AfI~ WTfI~ TuE CAKADIAN STATESMAN, EOWMANVTLLE, ONTABIO 1'HU~RSDAY, MAY 9t1, 1957 by ELSIE CARBUTHERS LUNNE' * ONTARIO ABROAD We do net recaîl the circula- tion figures o! the Sunday cdi- tion o! lthe New York Tmes, but we bad occasion te look thein up a short time ago, and they were staggening. It la lxnterest1ng, therefore, te thînk o! a whele magazine section in the farnio! a varied and in- formative advertisement by the governinent o! the Province o! Ontario, going into ail those homes, bundreds o! thousands of tbem, in the United States and probably many abroad. If you have net seen this apecial section of the New York Times of Sunday, April 14, you would !ind it wortbwhile te try and get hold o! a copy, wher- ever you are. This newspaper is ta be found in most langer libranies, and this year the Sunday edition is to be Iound in Bowmanvile Library, which is net large as yet, but has great plans and hopes for the future. The 56 page section on On- tanio certainly presents oun great province most attractive- need ta cxaggerate when talk- ing about Ontario, because it really has got everything-ex- cept perhaps a summer climate in winter, and even at that wve in the southern part are in what la often called the "ban- ana belt" because o! its mild winters with littie snow. Most o! the magazine tells of our industries and our huge hydro installations, and that we suppose is only propen as we assume this governiment prepared and sponsored sup- plement la meant te attract even more industries. Centai- ly a great many people in thei U.S. and elsewheme will know a great deal more about On- tarie a!ter reading its articles and advertisements and look- ing at its excellent iblack and white and colour photographs. Perhaps it is -because history is one of aur main personal interests that we feel that the inclusion of a good historical sketch on Upper Canada, which became the province of Ontario, would have added in- terest to the supplement; by linking the past with the present, and would have been an outstanding opportunity to àcquaint thousands of Arneri- caris with our historical back- ground which is linked with theirs. The link is of course that the main body of Ontario's first îsettiers were the U. E. Loyal- ists, and religious groups such as the Quakers and Pennsyl- vania Dutch Mennonites Who emigrated froin the U.S. at the same time. After that, many thousands of settiers came from England, Scotland an~d Ireland and some froni France and Germany. We cannot help but wish that such an historical sketch had been included. Howevcr, we were glad to see a brief aelide on the forni of Ontario's government. Though both Can- ada and the United States have demnocratic governments elect- ed by the people, the foms of their federal and state or prov- incial legislative bodies are somewhat different. Though Ontario's great va- cation land is mentioned, an- other bookiet put out by thc Ontario government's Depart- ment of Travel and Publicity, dwells at length on this prov- ince's attractions in that res- pect. It too is excellent and truthful advertîsing and pro- fusely illustrated. With these twe publications in circulation, Ontario should have even more tourists than ever this summer. TWO BOOKS FOR PLEASURE There are two books which we look forward to reading with real pleasure. one is Ma- ~sessczz.z Your active, growing youngsters love mdlk because it's such a refreshing taste treat! It's one drink you can let thein enjoy often ...because It's packed with health-giving, energy-rich food values! Our farm-fresh milk hits the spot.

W BOWMANVILLE T p.:,.:;szs:,cz2::BZt:tZttZ(SSZZZCS~« zo de la Roche's autobiography, "Ringing The Changes", pub- lished by Macmnillan, in case you too want to own a copy. Miss de la Roche is one o! the best novelists writing in English today, and naturally the story o! ber Ie la o! keen interest. We read somne ex- cerpts in a recent issue o! Mac- iean's magazine and these Ônly served to whet the appetite for the whole bock. The other book is by an Englishman, Geoffrey Cotter- ell, and is said to be a novel "in the grand style". That hap- pens to be a type o! novel we like. A review in the New York Worid-Telegrarn &nd Sun says: "detail by leisureiy de- tail, the sense of real life grows in this saga o! a tamily." It takes in the period fromn 1898 to 1936. Would that m~ore no- velists would return to this type of story instead o! the bitter, slang and profanity fi11- ed treatises on the Iutility o! life or the degradation of bu- man life. This has become a cuit which helps nro one andi which tends te depress thé standards o! literature, wheni what we need is wrltîng which will raise the standards and Man's opinion o! hîmseif along with it. SPRING TONES With our part of Ontario presently passing through one of its most beautiful phases, the Spring season, we wonder again why we do flot have more Canadian paintings por- traying its varied scenes and I moods. The colours are not as I spectacular as our Autumn fol- 1 lage, but just as beautifial. The unobservant p er s on may. tbink there la only one colour in Spring-green, but the artist and the observant knew that this is f ar frorn the truth. There are many shades o! green from the deep luxuriant new grass to the yeilow-green o! the new leaves on the pop- lars or the catkins on the wil- lows. There are as well ail the reddish tints o! pin cherry and othen smail trees and shrubs that grow along the fences, wîth bere and thère a wiid cherry or plum in blossom. And the swamps are carpeted with the brillant yellow o! marsh- marigolds. Vanstone's pond in Spring is te our mind an ar- tist's dream. Trinity W.M.S. Hiolds Annual Church Service The annual Womnan's Mission- ary Society Service was held in Trinity Churcb on Sunday, April 27tb, with Rev. W. J. Gallagher, M.A., B.D., D.D., as the guest preacher. Dr. Galla- gher who is Gerieral Secretary o! the Canadian Council o! Churches, gave a very informa-. tive sermon on the "Changing Patterns o! Christian Missions". "The message we have to de- liver is still the saine but the methods by which we do this ha'ee changed', Dr. Gailagher pointed out. Our support is still needed in our foreign missions but more control must be giv- en to the native groupa in these countries. During the service the La- dies' Quartette compesed o! Miss E. Spicen and Mesdames R. Menkley, M. James and D. Alldread sang "Lord Open Thou Our Eyes". The junior choir sang the children's hymn, "Jesus Bids »Us Shine".
