of as as T. In My Small Corner C. AT. A great many of our friends are gnashing their teeth with disappointment these days as they look out resentfully from the butterfly net of red tape which is preventing them from taking the pleasant little jaunts to Bellingham which used to be their chief delight on Sundays and holidays. However, it is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and the happiest result of the new customs regulations will likely be that a number of Chilli wack people will be forced to get out and get acquainted with the Fraser Valley.

Being a newcomer to Chilliwack in comparison with those of you who have lived here for two or three generations, we may seem presumptuous in shouting from the housetops that you should get out and have a good look at the countryside where you have lived so long. But we do believe the people of Chilliwack have grown so accustomed to beauty that they have no longer eyes with which to see it. Beauty surrounds us, quite free from taxation, at every hour of the day and night, and we have grown to take it quite as much for granted as the morning oatmeal. We are rightly proud of Chilliwack the city, but that is no excuse for us to keep our eyes level with the sidewalks and plate glass windows of the business district and forget to raise them to look at the mountains. There is even less excuse for our looking at them and fail ing to see them.

In the same way, we are all in such a hurry to get out to the golf course or out to the lake or back to the farm that we are too busy to look at the countryside, and too blind to realize what we are missing. Some evening about sunset, drive up to Promontory and stop the car Just before you reach the school house. Sit there for a few minutes and soak up the silence that is emphasized rather than, broken by an occasional cow bell or bird call, and marvel at the breath taking Visitors to City Lake Area Club Fetes Recent Bride Twenty members of Sumas Lake Area club met at the home of Mrs. Hall, Wednesday when a miscellaneous shower was held in honor Mrs. Mellis, the former Erin Loftus.

The guest of honor was seated under a canopy of pink and white streamers in a room prettily decorated with flowers. Miss Janet Brown assisted the honoree in opening the gifts.

and Mrs. W. G. Newby, Max Stewart with Miss Winnie Cot trell and Bill Richmond, Hope, expect to leave Monday on an eight day riding trip to the Skagit country. Miss Bessie Martin, R.N., has returned to North Vancouver General hospital after spending three weeks with her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. T. Martin, Vedder Mountain road. After spending a week holidaying here, Mr. and Mrs.

We did it ourselves a few nights ago, and if your soul feels the need of a bit of restoring, we heartily recommend your trying it. We are ashamed to say that after living here for two years we had never been there before, but we suspect that there are a great many more local people in much the same position. Some frosty afternoon this fall when the leaves are turning, drive up to Ryder Lake and come down humbled by the majesty of what you have seen. The next time you feel the urge to get out the family car, leave the pavements and the hot dog stands and the gas stations and road hogs far behind you and go on a voyage of discovery through some of the more sparsely settled districts a few miles from your doorstep. Drive along narrow roads that end up in somebody's back yard, and look up at the mountains and down to the valley, and see if you don't learn more about the country in which you are so lucky as to be living.

And see, too, if you take its beauty quite so much for granted tomorrow. We hate self constituted one person booster clubs just as much as you do, and we don't want to sound like one. But we do love Chilliwack, and we have loved it ever since one grey winter Sunday afternoon almost four years when a boy named Barber who was in our history class brought us up for a drive. If we are granted the remaining forty six years of our three score and ten we ask nothing better than to spend them here. And if we turn into a totter ing old crone who is too weak to bang on her own.

typewriter keys we will doubtless still be clinging stubbornly to this column, and try ing to think up new ways to tell you "how green is our valley, and the valley of them that are gone."
