UR CONGRATULATIONS to the Chairman of our Board. Mr. Samuel Rogers, K.C.. on his winning of the famous ,lulfe Box case before the Privy Council in London recently. ln this interesting test case, Mr. Rogers served as legal counsel for Vigneux Brothers of Ontario and Rae Restaurants Limited, who claimed that the music copyright as held by the Performing Rights Society did not include the recorded playing of such music in julie boxes. After adverse decisions rendered by the Court of the Exchequer and the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Rogers finally won his case before the Law Lords of the Privy Council. Although tie do not ordinarily associate the julfe box with the dignity of His Majesty's Privy Council tand we understand that Mr. Rogers, sense of humour was not lacking in his presentation! the case does mark a mile- stone in the realm of copyright law. And the night shall be filled with rnusic- .-Ind the cares that infest the day. Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away, 8

14f3w4ana.!7!!aaJ Let us I'6CIl?lifIIl that life can be good. that every man. zroman and child' has ll'Offll and dignity. tlzal all lzummz beings are one in ullinmte flestilzv and in Sfflilflillg faith. that ou! of hope and effort the good society slzafl 'tel be bornfi NE YEAR AGO l expressed the hope in these pages that the coming year might see the cessation of the struggle waging in Europe. At the time those words were written. the forces of the lvnited Nations had just landed on the beaches of Normandy. Since then much has transpired. and six weeks ago we were all able to rejoice that victory had crowned the struggle of five and a half years. This victory. however. is crowded with mixed emotions. Wie are terribly conscious of the bitter price that has been paid: we are equally conscious that in an- other part of the world the struggle still continues and l know that some of our Old Boys who have already seen extensive service will be participating in that further struggle. VVe are happy. however, for what has thus far been accomplished and we hope and pray that in the not too distant future the final victory may be won. Although we shall rejoice much at that time. it will also be a period of solemn reflection. Military victory is only part of the struggle. The ideals for which the battle has been waged are not yet won. and from many indications the way to their ultimate achievement will he a long and arduous one. It is for this reason that l have chosen as my keynote this year the affirmation at the head of this article. It is only as those who believe greatly in some such concept of human life can continue so to believe. and pray -andxwork that the fairer world of our dreams may. perchance. he realized. During these last few years we have tried to carry forward some such attitude in all our work. I know that a similar attitude has motivated Old Boys in the services. l have written assurance from so manv of them that unless something of this nature were the end and purpose of their labours. it would be altogether too grim a business. As we face the years that lie ahead, let us, the total Pickering Community of the past. the present and the future. highly resolve to do our fullest part in the tasks to which we are already dedicated. It is not my purpose to speak specihcally of the activities of the past year. Wie have carried on... Wie know that the job has fallen short of the perfection at which we like to aim. but l trust that in the record of the past eighteen years 19-14-45 may find a worthy place. 9
