If we can learn from others | we just maybe can avoid some of the ills that a highly industr- jlalized life has inflicted ‘on peo- | ple in the cities, and yet take advantage of the better stand- "T of living they enjoy..

That's the great challenge for lthe™Maritimes in general and Prince- Edward Island in parti- cular, as I see it:

Of course the ‘best place to ‘start is with the youngsters, and‘ ‘that’s why I hope as_ many young people as possible. will take advantage of the essay and |poster contest the Fish and Game Association is sponsoring to mark National Wildlife Week April 10 to 16.

The contest is being held in all | jIsland schools for students of: jall ages. There are two sec-

I can tell you this minh, peo- ple are intensely curious about | the Maritimes and they are ..somewhat surprised to’ hear about some of the changes that are taking place. But you also get the impression that Canad- . fans are too much concerned with their own region and they don’t have time to reflect. very much about the. country: as a whole?
