"Thou crownest the year with Thy -bounty." so sang a Psalmist of the olden times as he praised the goodnes of God. As he con- un-ued his song. he traced all the blessings his. people. enjoyed to God's rioh bounty and added:-

"me tradis of my chariot drip with fatness.

The pastures oi the wilderness drip. the hills gird themselves with

Jolfihe meadows clothe themselves with 110035. The valleys deck themselves with

grain. They shout and sing together for - ..

1 change the phrasing just a'little, and the ancient song describes Canada's reason for joy and hope as she faces 1954.

We have had a year of peace. The dark threat of war is not as dark as it was: We cannot yet gmg of "a bright light" in that cloud but there are signs that r,-inds' of grace may soon arise to

scatter it. We have had a year of plenty. Enough has been producel to

meet needs of all our people with in surplus towards satisfying hun- gt-l' of other nations. When we think of how deep the need of some other races is. we realize that our first necessity is a way by which Canada can help by .-aliarlng her bounty with those who lack.

We have had a year of promise. We in Oanada are uncovering new resources every month. and our possibilities of expansion app:-ar in be without limit. There is a phrase in the Bible "the fulness of time” which is in point here. Just as the world's need of cer- tain resources appears. Oanada's undeveloped stores of those mater- ials are discovered. such nature's rich endowments here are coming in the front "for such a time as this."

Take one example only: we have a vast supply of mineral needed for development of energy of the atom, A new source of power is being turned from war into the

pursuits of peace. Energy incul- culable in ifs potentiality is being met with scientific knwiedge and skill to harness it. and bring it under control of the will of min. While Oansda stands with other free nations who have arisen to defend our freedom. her ctiieiccn- corn in this field is to promote the welfare of men.

With this as our Canadian back- ground. we look toward the future with new faith in God, surely He has a place in the outworking of His purposes for a people so richly endowed. when wa think oi the energy in the atom we see that here is not only a new power but a new idea. Science has discovered that the ultimate basis of the physical universe is not inert mat- ter, but energy. Since energy is the ultimate reality. the place of the Divine Spirit is in its control and direction

It is encouraging. therefore. to find the Church of Christ raising her sights as she looks toward the future.

Tho second Assembly of the World Council of Churches meets in 1954 on this side oi the Atlan- tic. Its subject will b(-:- "Christ the Hope oi the World." The central article oi the creed of this body is the irutli that Christ is God and Saviour. The constit- uent churches all confess this faith. one significant fact is that so many independent churches, rich in history and proud of their self - government, are m e e t in g round the centre oi Christ and His salvation. This suprenic loy- alty. is given the first place in their rclatlonslhlp and deliberat- ions.

TCA Sets New Record In 1953

MON"I'REAL. (CF)-'ITans-Cam ada Air Lines in 1953 set a record with an estimated 1,300,000 pas- sengers, an increase oi 15 per cent over 1052. President (3. R Mc- Gregor said Wednesday in a year- ond statement. The company's op- erations will again show a surplus after payment oi taxes, he said, although costs oi labor ant. ma- terials have increased.

Despite "many expenses incurred in preparing to introduce new equipment into the ICA fleet in 1954." there was no increase in passenger fares or air-freight rates. Rather, he said, the com- pony applied for A reduction in its air-freight tariff oi approxi- mately so per cent and the reduc- tion will become effective Jan. 1, 1954.

TCA's fleet oi North Star and DC-3 aircraft flew approximately 30,600,000 revenue miles on domes- tic and international routes. Air- iretghrt-ton miles of 8,200,000 rep- resented an increase oi 1! per cent over 1052. Air-express-ton miles were 1,830,000, an increase oi 1'! per cent, and air-mail-ton miles oi 4.600.000 on domestic routes were up nine per cent. An estimated 5.300.000 air-mall-ion milcs were flown on all toutes.

Thc Canada-United Kingdom service was increased 20 per cent (luring the Coronation period. Dur- ing the year 25,600 passengers ilew 'ICA's European flights, five operating via Preetwick. one via Shannon and two terminating in

CHARLOTTETOWN

1953 Was Record-Breaking

Year For

Wadi: -The conquest oi Mount llvarrest was -but one of many bold and spectacular feats by explorers probing the earth. the heavens and the ocean depths, the National Geographic society reported today in a survey of 1953's major geographic achievements.

when Edmund P. Hillary. rNsw Zsaiand beekeeper. and Tenslng Norksy, veteran Sherpa guide. scaled the H.000-foot summit oi lverest on May 29. they did what ton previous expeditions had fail- ed to do. Sixtcen men died in the last so years sttempting in scale the world's highest peak.

Four months later and thousands of miles dilstant. two scientists made a record descent oi 10,330 feet into the warm Tyrrhenian Sea oif Ponsa Island. Italy. Submerging in a 50-foot-long diving box called a bathy-scale. Prof. Auguste Pic- oard and his son easily eclipsed the previous record or 0.800 feet achiev-

ed by two R-ench naval officers 3

one month earlier

"In still another record-bres.k- lng penetration, a French speleo- logist descended nearly 2,400 feet into the earth, Norbert Casteret reached this depth in Leplnaux Cavam in the western Pyrenees on the Franco-Spanish border.

Sky Survey

Across the world. on Palomar Mountain, California. astronomers working with the 46-inch Big Schmidt phototelescope disclosed that their monumental Sky Sur- vey is three-quarters completed sponsored jointly by i.he National Geographic society and the Cali- fornia. Institute oi Technolosy. the comprehensive photographic map of the visible universe already has yielded previously unknovm aster- oids near the earth, new nebulae and clusters of nebulae far out in space.

Aqualung-equipped divers of the National Geographic-Calypso Mar- ine Archeolcgical Expedition in the Mediterranean brought to the sur- face one oi the rarest finds oi archeological treasure in recent years. More than 1,000 amphorac. or large pottery urns. were recov- ered irom s Greco-Roman ship believed to have foundered in the Mediterranean about the year 230 BC. some oi the tightly sealed jugs still held wine more than 2.- 100 yesrs old.

Perfume flasks. cosmetic bowls and hundreds oi pieces of dinner- ware were salvaged from the 110- ioot, 000-ton sliip, perhips the oldest cargo vessel yet discovered. The expedition is directed by Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau oi the French Navy.

For the third consecutive year. the Society joined forces with the Marine Laboratory oi the Univer- sity oi Miami in the study oi ocean plankton and pelagic (ocean-go- lng) fish. Scientists worked with fine silk nets to ll. depth oi 400 fathoms in the Gulf Stream.

A strange new diving chamber called the Aquascope was specially constructed for a. photographic ex- pedition for the society which made the first color films oi mar- ine lifa on the floor oi Chesa- peake Bay.

In Straits Of Florida

The biggest water meter in his- tory was used by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to mea- sure the flow oi the Gulf Stream through the 100-mile-wide Straits of Florida. Average Flow: 7,215.- 000.000 gallons. or 100 million bath- tubs full. every second. Meanwhile. Smithsonian Institution experts went under water in the same straits to hunt priceless historical objects from a Spanish ship be- lieved sunk 200 years ago.

A transpacific expedition spon- sored by the scrlpps Institute of Oceanography weighed, measured and surveyed parts oi the world's largest ocean, studied its weather, and remapped its winds.

Hundreds oi "scientific expedi- tions journeyed to known and un- known corners of the earth dur- ing the past year.

In late summer It geological team sponsored by the National Geo- graphic Society and the Royal Ontario Museum of Toronto an- nounced discovery of a round. we- tar-filled crater in the wilds of northern Labrador. The ,crai.ei'. 185 yards across. may be a "baby brother" to the much larger chubb Crater. 6.0 miles in circumference. which was first scientifically studied in 1061. Both could have been formed by a collision of a meteor with the earth 3.000 to 15.000 years ago.

Seeking to solve one of n:-il.ui'c's great riddles-tho composition and origin oi cosmic rays-the National Geographic Society. Franklin Ins- titute oi Philsdelphia. and India's Muslim University conducted an intensive research program at All- glrh, Ind-la. A. US. Navy cosmic ray expedition launched "skyhook" plastic balloons from the deck of I. seaplane tender in Pacific wa- ters ofi South America. "Opera- tion Mushrat," another Navy pro- ject, lsunchrri combination rocket- bslloons from an lcebrcaker lying off Baffin Island in the Arctic.

A new observing station for gathering data on cosmic rays and atmomherlc conditions was estab- lished by the University oi Alaska and New York University atop a 14,500-mot peak in the Wrangell Mountains 200 miles northeast of Anchorage, Alaska. Cosmic ray studies at the top of 18,000-foot Mount chncaltawa In B0lLVlR were sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commlzsion.

Explorers were legion in the fro- zen north during 1053. The Arctic ' Aitute of North America spon- sored 31 Arctic and subarctic cs- peditiona. the largest a 13-man jaunt to 7,500-foot Penny Highland Icemp on Baffin Island. A U. 3 Army expedition, testing the lat-

Canadian and U. S. scientists at Ellesmere Island sought the source of great floating ice islands simi- lar to T-3, or Fletcher's Island. which has served as an Arctic weather base observatory for the last two years. Scientists from the Qfilce of Naval Research continu- ed their five-year study oi wea- ther fluctuatlons on Taku Glacier. 30-mile-long, 1.530-foot-deep mass of ice and snow in Alaska.

Primitive Indiana

one of the world's last ”ioi:bld- den lands"-the Choco Indian country of Darlcn, Panama-was explored by a joint Smithsonian- National Geographic Society ex- pedition. An American expedition made Lhe first comprehensive sur- vey of flora and fauna in Papua, New Guinea, and another Ameri- can group pushed to the head- waters oi the Sepik River. little- known area of New Guinea. Seven scientists journeyed to remote Ifa- lik Atoll in the Western Carolincs. 400 miles south of Guam. to gain new knowledge oi island peoples.

An Italian expedition sought new evidence of the theory that Africa was once joined to Asia by a southern continent stretch- ing over what is now the north- west part of the Indian Ocean. Fiji Island plant life holds the clue to a lost continent that may have connected 200 islands in the South Pacific. including Australia and New Guinea. lccording to Smithsonian botanists who studied Fiji. forests.

Vllcabamiba, last capital of the Incas, was the objective of an A- merlcan Geographical Society ex- peditlon which searched the 2,000- mile Inca highway in Peru. Ger- man archeologists probed the North Sea oi-I Holgoland in an effort to locate the fabled lost city oi Al.- lantis. The little-known "lost uorld" area oi Venezuela was bot- anicalliy explored by scientists from the Chicago Natural History Muse- uin.

Ichtiiyologisis from the Biiigham Oceanographic Laboratory of Yale University studied the breeding, feeding and migratory habits or salt. water fish along South A- mei-ica's west coast. Marine blo- loglst from i.he University of Cali- fornia collected 5,000 specimens oi Far Eastern seaweeds.

Smithsonian mamm-aloglst went to South Africa to gather more than 1.500 specimens from the Kalahari interior. Four scientists from Duke University embarked n a 12-month expedition to the Sahara to study the camel. Five German scientists went to India to find out if it is true that cle- phaiits never forget.

A species oi ivren unknown to science was discovered in the for- ests of rugged Flordland in south- west New Zealand. A new babmgr, link and warbler were found 'n southeastern Arabia. An American Museum of Natural History ex- pedition to the Bahamas garner- ed 50,000 insects and spiders and 2.700 reptiles, amphibians and mammals.

Other Mountain Conquests

Mountain climbers. spurred by the Everest triumph. conquered other Plimalayan peaks. Nanga Parbat. 26.860-foot "mountain oi death" which has claimed the lives of 31 climbers-more than any other peak-was scaled for the l”'5l- lime by an Austro-German expedition. An Indian team made the initial ascent of 22,660-foot Nunkun for the first time.

An American cxprdltioii. ati:mpi- his to climb 28.25-0-foot Mount Godwin Austcn 4K-2). worlds second highest mountain. was forc- ed to turn back at the N000-fool level. The i.reaclierous' blizzard- swcpt peak in Kashmir's Knrakoran range new ranks as the world's highest unclimhcd mouiitnin.

Arrlieolngical Finds

In the field of arclieology. an Anglo-American expedition , un- rarthed the 'emains of two anci- cnt cities of Jericho, one estimat- ed at 7.000 and the other 3,500 years old, near the present site of Jericho on the River Jordan. Remains of some '10 Biblical scrolls believed to be 2,000 or more years old, were found in a rave on the shore of the Dead Sea. French srclieologisls uncovered more than 200 iablels dating back to i.400 BC. in northcrn'SyrlI.

Evidence that Negcb desert area of Israel was inhabited in 3.500 BC. was uncovered. A small pyr- amid, thought to be 5,000 years old, was unearthed near Sakkara Egypt. Swedish archeologlsts turn- ed in coins. and pottery nearly 2. years old in the Indian De- acrl. near Biknnor.

Jeu-eli'.v and New-ls used by (iioak royalty 3.000 years ago were dug zip 200 miles from Athens. More public buildings were un- covered in the Acorn of Athens. where some forms of political de- mocracy were first tested in 500 BC. Almost completed ans the un- earthlng of the ancient sanctuary
