Letter From The Editor . . .

DEAR FRIENDS: .

Have you ever raised your eyes to
the mountaintops on a bright April morn-
ing and suddenty felt that this Is NOT
God's country—but YOUR country?

Strange feeling. You become sudden-
ly big. Not as big as God, of course, but
bigger than anything you've ever seen
or known before,

Perhaps you've never experienced
this odd exhilaration, Maybe you're one -
of the conforming crowd of rut-dwellers
who never stop to look at the sky, or
listen to @ running stream, or watch a
flower unfold,

Maybe you've allowed the troubles-
of the world to envelop you in a stifling
cloak of sackcloth. Perhaps your motiv-
ation is derived from material things
alone. You might be one of the sad
people — the ones with happy faces.
They are the saddest ones of all, They
five in sham and never know the joys
of complete reloxation,.nor do they ever
learn to use the great freedoms of this
vast north country.

They analyze and criticize and
scrutinize, ;

So intent are they on the practice of
alertness that they stumble blindly past
the plain things in fife,

God help them—for they miss a lot!

My years with the Terrace Herald
have taught me to stop and listen, ta
stop ond look, to stop and enjoy—not
only the hills of the north but the people
of the north.

They've taught me how to recognize
the warmth and sincerity in the hand-
shake of an oldtimer, They've taught
me how to recognize the eager deter-
mination in the handshake of a new-

They've given me patience, tolerance,
compassion — all af which | didn’t have

But most important—they’ve taught
me where | may use these new knowl-
edges to the best advantage—and that
is right within my own home, where the
walls reverberate from the boisterous
clamor of a growing family.

This week | leave the old wooden
swivel chair and the old oak desk that
came up the Skeena on a riverboat. |
turn my back on the snap of the. type-
writers, and the clatter of the linotype
machines, and the rumble of the presses,
and the jengle of the telephones, and
the whispering of the morgue files, and
the trumpeting of the Terrace tomor-

prospect, but on this bright April morn-
ing 1 just happened to raise my eyes to
the mountaintops oand—suddenly—this
was MY country.

| wondered how mony of you realize
that it is also YOUR country.

And most important—-I simply want-
ed to thank all of you for allowing me
the privilege of sharing it with you.

Yours most sincerely,
Ruth M, Hallock,

‘Sugaring Off’

ng the day starting at 10

These festivities, the first to
be held in this area, will be
held by the local Frenéh-Can-
adian Club to mark the occa-
sion of “sugaring-off" time in
Quebec, known also as “Partie
de sucre.”

The tradition dates back to
the fime whén the Native In-
diana of Quebec made a ritual
of cutting into the Maple trees
when the sap started running
in the spring of the year. They
proceeded to boil the amber
liquid for eight to ten hours to
make maple syrup.

The process of making maple
syrup has become one of the
most. important industries of
Quebec farmers. vs

-It is interesting to note that
when maple trees ‘are found

are staked, much the same as
mines are in this country. The
acquirer of the land is required
to tap the trees every year,
Should he fail to do so for
three “ consecutive years he
loses -the rights to the land.
The weather contributes a
great deal — freezing nights
and sunny days produce the
best harvest,
