Land We Live In,” is to (each them to know and to appreciate the glories of God’s Own Country, and to realise ‘ their good fortune in belongin''’ Jo a land so richly endowed by nature with 1 the good things of this earth. Besides its purely scenic value, the pic lure gives an insight to some extent into the conditions under whiefi, people in oilier parts of the country live, and also introduces interest in;; sidelights oir some of the staple industries of tlu? country.
