are assured of better than average value for your money from neil pat rick motors ltd in terms of trad- i n j difference honest dealing and warranty guarantees the point is well taken though because there is in general terms a best time to get the least trading difference on a new car purchase common sense will tell you that that time is when the dealer can re alize the most money for your car

ing of the travels of one adven turous peter stollery who is a resident of toronto not far from the rouge valley last year he crossed the sahara des ert from north to south in the heat of the summer the nights are often so cold that fires are appreciated smack in the mid dle of this storied wasteland at in salah these fires are made from the remains of forests long since dead what a heri tage someone received what a heritage someone left it has been said that the his tory of this planet earth may be likened to a 3000 page book and each page would represent a million years man appears on the last page of this book only the last two words represent civilized man only the last dot represents scientific man but how scientific are we nature brought us into this scheme after it was in working order in wonderful balance myriad forms of life had learned to live in their environments and with each other even if many had to pay the supreme price to keep the whole scheme work ing not only the living but the dead have to be accommodated last fall i was tramping through the bush and came up on moose antlers i got think ing about them take elk the caribou the deer and the moose i and a few others such as buff alo and mountain sheep and consider that many of these grow a new set every year i wonder how big a pile would be produced in say 1000 years i imagine it would cover on tario ten feet deep or be enough to clutter up the whole of can ada so we could hardly move indeed it is fortunate that na ture provided other animals that like to chew up carcasses horns hooves bones and all if man inadvertently or delib erately were somehow to hin- der the disposal of antlers he would be making things more complicated for himself nature out of balance in relation to ant lers may seem like a smail thing but it would be visible and recognizable we are putting nature out of balance in many ways more insidiously and more calami tously we are sowing the wind and we will leave our kids to reap the sahara if we pursue our indifferent way consider a few situations not in the sahara or the arcltc or in ancient times on the river tigris or euphrates but right here on the banks of this grand but short rouge river and in the last 2 or 3 generations what a wonderful history has this rouge the life blood of this township not a hundred years ago it kept thirty water power wheels turning to run sawmills baby carriages d to clear the largest selection in the area all 1961 models grist raffis woollen mills a chap told me just the other day bis father as a youth had padl died a canoe all the way from lake ontario to buttonvllle now in the summer there is hardly enough flow to keep scum off it and to wash away the filth we stripped the forest off the headwaters of this river now the spring water and the rain gush down the slot to the sea instead of being held on the hills and in the marshes to trickle through the soil to act ivate the springs and to keep rcolsture in the subsoil to nourish plants in the heat to even out the flow to mini mize floods so some forests should be maintained so trees are being planted that is fine lets have more of it so will the returning trees give us back our water well hardly how long will it be till there are 10000 wells in markham grasp ing for water and having to go deeper every year the water table is still falling are we try ing to see how deep it can go before sahara isnt it time we supplied other water to stop this raid on our natural resr- voir do we think it is inex haustible what are we doing to the bal ance of nature in regard to land the source of our food we are removing it we are not returning to it its own and we are poisoning it we strip j sod and topsoil we burn grass i and leaves we put sewage not j on the land but in the rivers and j lakes we know this is traffic i on a one way street does fertil izer restore this balance we know better can the resultant weakened vegetation and fruit be protected by sprays that kill the birds and slowly poison the people have you seen how the graphs of metabolic diseases are going up with the use of some of these poisons do we look for another poison to neut ralize the first and this would be another mistake but using food from deprived soil is not enough we even extract some of the remaining nutrients so it wont spoil on the shelves be fore giving it to people to eat what are we doing to the bal ance of nature in regard to air are we interested in conserving the air that by legend whis pered through the pines here about then we belter get to it the dust count is steadily rising chimneys and combus tion exhaust without hindrance are dumping their poisons into it how much of this can be taken i hope a crisis comes suddenly and forces us to ac tion otherwise we will be so gradually debilitated that if we became alerted we will have lost the will or power of action to some people conservation means retaining some green belts to have space to walk free from pavements and fences noise and fumes an environ ment of peace and meditation to some people conservation means keeping inviolate por tions of forest where flowers grow some like to go in pri vate others like to take a class of children and start them on a discerning path that for many leads to satisfaction and con tentment some like to observe public notice township of whitchurch 1961
