Slides reveal new worldA new world was opened up bythe slides shown by Mrs. Phyllis Munday on March 17. Mrs. Munday who has spent, many years exploring B.C. coastal waters and climbing among B.C.’s mountains brought slides of local scenes, alpine meadows, flowersand birds and animals.• • • • • • •Each photograph was a work of art whether a vista of blue mountain lake surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks or a closeup of an individual plant, a spiders web hung with dew drops or hoar frost on the snow.Mrs. Munday moved first along familiar trails with pictures of the trees and flowers generally known, Douglas fir, red cedar, dogwood and Arbutus, skunk cabbage and our lovely Easter lilies. A roam through alpine meadows revealed a riot of color and variety of flowers-^ up to the snow level where tender pink and green shoots push up through the snow and fragile flowers bloom on rocky ledges , of barren peaks.Mrs. Munday stressed the need for constant vigilance if, with today’s rapid progress measured by dollars, we are to have this heritage of natural beauty to pass on to coming generations. Where for instance are theEaster lilies which “old-timers”♦say carpeted our rock bluffs in glorious profusion each spring?Guides from Gibsons, Roberts Creek and Sechelt companies were among the audience. Thesilver collection realized . $29 which, after expenses are deducted will be added to the Guides camping fund.Pat Thomas, company leader of the Roberts Creek company proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs. Munday and presented her with a pair of book-ends, mahogany with the Guide trefoil emblem, made by the Roberts Creek Guides. Mrs. Munday has promised to come again and bring more mountaineering pictures in the fall.
