SEEING THE WORLD ABOUT HOME FIRST Thursday, Mtry 22, 1930 (By George B. Lake, M.D.) When peuple talk about “seeing the world" they are generally thinking about a mime or less hurried trip to London, Paris and Vienna, or perhaps to Cairo, Mandalay and points east. The seasm is approaching when those whose urdinnry activities are nut sufficiently varied and interesting to keep them from staleness (and that, unfortunately, means most of the population; will, if they have good semfe, ire planning how they‘will spend the customary period of respite from their vocations. But wherever one goes and what- ever exotic scenes may be presented before one's 'eyes, seeing the world depends, not upon the spectacles which are available for one"s consideration, but upon one’e powers of perception. V Begin It Home ' The city in which one lives, and the parks, fields and groves adjacent to it-even one's own baekytmi--are as much a part id "the world" as are Home or Yokohama or the Grand Canyon.

Those who cannot answer such questions as these with reasonable accuracy have small'ehanee of return- ing from a "sightseeing" trip with any but the haziest impressions of the panoramas which have unfolded before them. Explore Neighborhood Let those who are deterred by lack oi time or cash, from availing them- selves of the cultural and recreational possibilities of the Canadian Rockies, the Mediterranean or Peru, consider the idea of procuring u reasonably good camera and a field glass and setting out, afoot, to explore the (generally) unknown country which lies within a radius of five miles from their door-steps. If such , pilgrim- age is entered upon after or inter. spersed with a reasonable amount of preparatory study, its potentialities for physical, intellectual und spiritual growth and development are enorm- ous.
