"Having 'travelled throughout Europe, Asia and North America I think I know something of the total mind of the ..: people in those areas. In Europe in - 1946, one found a mood of deep- seated pessimism. People felt that civilization has exhausted its possi- bilities. That kind of pessimism is scarcely understood outside Europe. North America does not take the view that civilization is at its wit's end but here we do find people fearful that civilization 'may be an- .nihilated by the very forces it has 'created." Continuing: "In Asia last year, one could easily see that all the old civilization of the East has crum- bled. The new hope now is that things are finally in the hands of, and in the power of the Asiatics.

On the evening in question, a car driven by Kenneth Page of To- ronto was in collision with a truck driven by the accused on the 3rd concession of Pickering Township. Sergeant Fred White investigated. In the witness box, Page gave an excited and slangy account of how the truck had sideswiped him and how he subsequently chased it for four miles before stopping the driver. The-accused had been drinking but he told fhe officer he was not sure whether he had the beer in Whitby or at Camp Borden. "This is another instance of drinking and driving," said the bench.

Horticulturists From Pickering At Stonehaven The Pickering Horticultural So- ciety held its August meeting in the form of a social party on the beautiful grounds of Stonehaven Farm, the residence of Norman and Mrs. Irwin on Saturday last. Situ- ated in the eastern part. of the township, this palatial stone resi- dence built after the style of an old English Manor house, is sur- rounded by lawns, garaens, arbore- tum, with tea house, walks, a run- ning stream over moss-covered rocks. from the Hamilton escarp- ment with almost every known variety of growing trees, and named flowers and plants -- this beauty spot is no doubt not duplicated in many places in Canada. Planned in the twenties, on a very fertile farmstead owned by the late mayor of Toronto, R. J. Fleming, it has been turned into the charming landscaped layout combining elegance, seclusion and rustic beauty where nature lovers can spend hours in admiration and study of flora and fauna.

Although were many distracting events tak- ing place on that day, a goodly crowd assembled at six o'clock for the community luncheon with President Les Morley and his lady welcoming the guests, afier which the various groups visited and ex- plored the many places of interest.

At the close a hearty vote of willows, walnuts and even the gingko mingle thanks was moved by an ex-presi- dent FP." M. Chapman to be passed on to the Irwins. Highland sheep graced the front lawns keeping the native grasses in pleasing green. Jerseys also were in the neighboring fields, with riding horses in the palatial barns, while for over a mile to the north stretched a hundred or more acres of the well known Redwing apple orchards.
