Any ideas which one might have of travelling to another planet are discouraged when we hear things like this. Viewing this film and learning of the vast distances of space has a strong tendency to cause us to see ourselves Ln Space with its infinite depth must be a very lonely place: at least it seems that way when we travel with the photographer past the Moon. Mars, Venus and Saturn into the great beyond, from our insignificant little plan- et Earth. No one should miss these films. The Richmond Hill Nat- uralists who suggested that Mr. Ned Hi1] bring the films to town had no idea that people would be turned away at the door. We would suggest that adults who wish to see it should go to the second show. Seats are likely to be more plentiful. The Naturalists are again sell- ing tickets and we are told that those who could not get in at the previous showing will- be able to use their tickets at the next. \l The late Mr. Clapham rested at Wright‘ 8: Tayior’s Funeral Home. with services conducted by the Rev.
