| Description: | It is ninety years since Canada became a nation. Dominion Day marking the day of federation also marks a march of progress unsurpassed in the nations history. Blessed with limitless waterpower and untapped oil resources Canada takes her place in the forefront of the industrial nations of the world. On her southern border lies a neighbor with whom she lives in peace and friendship. With trade and coherence flowing freely for all. Bumper crops go far feeding the hungry of the world. The western planes have become one of the world’s great granaries. Twice blessed is Canada as it meets Dominion Day with toil rewarded and with peace with the world.
