the Oslo Conference last fall there were rcso« lotions and requests to all member societies to support the work that the United Nations is doing to conserve our natural reources. We as Canadians pledge our support. This means 'that every Branch should assist in any way it can to help in the conservation of our re- sources, to safeguard ottr landscape, to pre- serve wild life and to secure humane treatment of animals. Some resolutions have already been dealt with at provincial level on these topics. but always the onus for action falls back on us in the community. What is your Branch doing in this connection? The conveners of Agriculture and Canadian Industries of every level have a big field of interest here for the coming year. We look to them to take the lead. There is an Ontario Committee for Man and Resources. It is trying, with the help of the citizens, to formulate guidelines for the so- lution of important problems in the use of nat- ural resources. You might like to get involved with it in your community. In any case, watch for news items on its work. I hope the delegates who attended the Offi- cers' Conference in May enjoyed it and found the sessions helpful. Would all the leaders and others who contributed to its succeSs please accept our grateful thanks. Best wishes to you all for a very happy, safe and healthful summer. Bernice Noblitt. I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING I'd like to build the world a home And furnish it with love, Grow apple trees and honey bees And sn0w white turtle doves. I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony. I‘d like to hold it in my arms And keep it company. Chorus: That‘s the song I hear Let the world sing to-day. What the world has to say 15 the song I sing. I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand And. hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony. A song of peace that echoes on And never goes away. * t * SUMMER 1972 IWANT TO LIVE IN A FRIENDLY \VORLI) I want to live in a friendly world, a friendly world, a friendly world.
