for two games. The game wnichbrought about Jordan’s suspension,
previously forfeited to Thamesford,
was declared a Dickson's win. Prc-
sident Earl Thornton who had
threatened to resign, decided tostay on after getting full support of
the softball executive. The execu

in behalf of the league.

EVERYBODY CHEERS
AS MORLEY DIVES
Down at Wilson Memorial Poolthey’re pretty proud of a certain littleguy named Morley Jackson.
Morley, 7, is the son of Mr. and Mrs.Frank Jackson, Ann St, and he’s asclose to being a water spaniel as afriendly, happy little youngster likehim could be.Morley swims at the pool morning,
noon and evening, every day of theWeek. He started in the small pool, ofcourse, but now he’s in the big poof—
and swimming, too.But last week came the big moment,he dived into the big pool. "It’s a.fron-derful thing, to see him,” says BuckBillings, pool director.Everybody who knows Morley—and
who doesn’t—knows that it is, indeed,a wonderful thing.
You see, Mrs. Smith, widow since ■1911 of John C. Smith, was there,when the first organ was installed.
That was quite a few years ago.But what is rqpre, Mrs. Smith waspresent when the cornerstone of thechurch itself was laid—exactly 77
years ago—and she can describe theoccasion as thought it were yesterday.
To see her and. talk to her, onewould never believe it, but Mrs.Smith is 93—94 this August 19.
"Ah, the old days were muchbetter,’’ she said, tatting away asshe has for almost 85 years. “Everybody was happier then, I think.
There was a lot more fun—none ofthis quarrelling and grabbing aftereach other's money.”
Mrs. Smith was born in 1855, on
Cherry St Her father was a cabinetmaker. She helped her mother withthe dishes at an early age, and she
still helps do them for her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Bailey, with whomshe lives. She gets around with theability of someone 40 years younger,
and one morning, it is reported, dis-
Her day is that of a youngster—
eight a.m. to 10.45 p.m., withoutfail.“Oh, I have to listen to the news
every night,” she chuckles. “Have toknow what’s going on. Do I readThe Tribune? Certainly do—I've
been readme it ever since it waspublished--76 years ago.” She atten
ded the laying of the church cornerstone in 1872. “and I also remember the big fire then, too. Mr.McCool. I think, had a big hotel
where the postoffice is now, and 1can remember plain as day two menbeing carried dead out of the ruinsof the building.”
Mr. and Mrs. Smith had threeboys and three girls. Two boys arestill alive—J. J. Smith. Thames St.N., and Homer R., Toronto, and twodaughter—Mrs. Jamefc McKinnon,
Bethany, and Mrs. Bailey. Thereare eleven grandchildren, eight
great-grandchildren, and one greatgreat-grandchild, a boy, two yearsold.Mrs. Smith has been with the
Baileys since 1913."But I used to come to this house
86 years ago,” she chuckled. "Itwas built 115 years ago, as a barn."There has been plenty of tragedy
in her life. A brother, George died
his horse stumbled racing toA son, George, was killedwhen he ran into a horse on his bicycle, and a grandson, George Cotton, was killed at a concert when hestruck his head on a grandstandbeam.
Mrs. Smith doesn’t find any faultwith the modern girl.
"Times change—one must changewith them,” she said. As a matter
of fact, she says, she’d rather seegirls smoking cigarettes than pipes.“When we went to West Zorra in
the early years, al) the women usedto smoke dirty old clay pipes,” she
recalled. “What smokbrs they were.It was terrible."
When she was 14; Mrs. Smith de
cided she had had enough of school
and wanted to earn. her living. Soshe took up dressmaking.“I spent a whole year learningthe trade,” she smiled, “and when
I was finished, I got a job at $1 aweek. That’s some pay isn’t itl I
gave my first pay to my mother.”
Mrs. Smith says she has enjoye'd
every minute of her life, and that's .
probably why she has lived so long.“My recipe for old age," she said,
"is plenty of hard work, and throwall your worries over your shoulder.”

Oxford W ater Plight
Said Very Serious
Urge Big Program
Oxford County’s water supply situation is serious, "and
it is very important that something be done as quickly as poss
ible to restore our water resources."
So reads the brief presented by Oxford County to the
select committee of the Ontario legislature on Conservation
which sat in Woodstock recently. The following groups,helpedprepare the brief:
Oxford County Council’s Agriculture, Reforestation and
Tree Conservation Committees; Oxford County Crop Improve
ment Association, Oxford CoCfrity Junior Farmers’ Association,Oxford County Fish and Wild Life Protective Association,
Upper Thames Valley Conservation Authority, Grand RiverConservation Authority.
The following committees were set up to study’the various
phases of conservation :
(1), Soils, D. H. Hart, Chairman; (2), Water, A. D.Robinson, chairman; (3), Forestry’, Leonard Coles, chairman:
(4), Upper Thames Valley Authority, Gordon Pjttock, chairman. The brief said in part:

itself to contour farming and strip

our farmers are seeking help with
this work, qualified help is not available. We recommend that the Farm

“The committee on soils recommends:
1. That an extensive education

(a) The importance of Incor

(c) The dangers of selling man

(d) The benefits derived fromplowing in clover crops, co.n
stalks, etc.
(e) The importance of the better use of pastures in rotations.
(f) The more efficient use of
commercial fertilizers.(g) The value of sodding all
waterways and ditches
(h) The importance of plowing
across slopes rather than up and
down.
(i) The importance *of maintaining a cover crop on slopes over
a flood period."2. That more bulletins be pub-

"Wtf recommend:—
1. That groups of farmers be en

or that municipalities purchase

2. In view of the high cost of

Tommy Herbert, Known to All
Celebrates 73rd Birthday
Tommy Herbert, the man everyone knows, is having a birthday Sat
urday. He’ll be 73.
There probably isn’t a lawn or aa garden in the town that hasn’t
received Tommy’s care at one time
or another. He was busy trimming
the lawn at Mr. and Mrs. GordonWarden’s when The Tribune tookhis birthday photo.
Tommy said he was born in Eng
land, coming out here when he was
14. He is a very friendly personand one of his favorite pastimes—
when the grass is short—is to come
down town and have a word or two
with everyone in sight
He’s a great sportsman, ancspends his evenings at the ball parks.
He can tell you which teams are in
which league, who plays for them,
and the standing of them all.He’s also a great church-goer,
but favors no particular denomin-
his likes and dislikes are so well
known, the waitress generally knowswithout asking what he wants. Fav
orite dish is apple pie.
He’s planning no birthday party—no celebration on Saturday, butwe’re sure that everyone in Ingersoll
will wish the popular Tommy Her
bert a very happy birthday, indeed.

Many Families Eat Well
Off One Giant Puffball
A number of Salford families and
friends had a scruraptuous puffball
dinner last week—off one puffball.
Lloyd Bourne, who works atGeorge Nagle’s farm, R. R. 1, Sal
ford, spotted the mushroom a weekago Monday. It was about the sizeof a child’s playball then, and look
ed as though it were going to keepon growing. So Lloyd had friendskeep an eye on it for him, and givehim a play-by-play description of its
growth. By Thursday, it had got toalmost mammoth proportions, andalmost as big as the car would
carry, so he picked it, or whateveryou do with puffballs.
It weighed 11 poundal
According to Mrs. Nagle it was areal armful, and it was all Lloydcould do to get it into the car. It
was at least a foot ' and « half
through, she estimated.“People came over, and we started dividing it up," she said, "andwe just kept on dividing it. Before
we knew it, it was gone. The neighborhood sure enjoyed it”

Arm Kids With Swatters
Do Battle With the Fly
It looks as though the country has been invaded
again -this time by flies. Frankly. we’ve never
seen so many of the peats and householders and
restaurant keepers and nearly everyone else has
called every bit of artillery into action.
In Toronto, total warfare has been launched
against the d?rty little creature* with the cam
paign headed by Mayor Hiram McCallum, Dr.
Gordon Jackson, medics^ officer of health, and
H. D. Bradley, street commissioner. Newspaper
ads, with pictures of the fly blown up to monster
size, proclaim your “Public Enemy No. 1.” The
ads read:
"The common housefly is your enemy. These
pests come into your home carrying germs and
disease to your food ... to you. Don’t let your
home be their breeding ground.
Fight flies these easy ways:
1. —Screen windows and doors.
2. Wrap all garbage carefully.
3. —Keep garbage tins clean and well-covered.
, 4.—Spray DDT on all exposed surfaces.
5.Clean iTp al] refuse around your home.”
We have another idea to eliminate the pest
Arm junior with a fly swatter and pay him one
penny for perhaps 100 flies. All the youngsters in
Ingersoll swinging swatters with gusto might be
a bit of a menace to the lives of their elders, and
some of their best china, ^ut it would make life
extremely difficult for the fly, too.
Have at them, we say.
“Fourth Estate” Unknown
Historians for years have been knocking themselves out to determine exactly who originated
the phraae, "fourth estate” as a name lor thepress.No one has any trouble checking facts about
the first three estates, because tnese estates wereclasses represented in the English parliament and
the French states general: The first estate, lords
spiritual (clergy), the second estate, lords temporal (nobility), and the third estate (com
moners. )One important clue to the origin of "fourthestate” is Thomas Carlyle’s statement in “The
Hero As a Man of Letter*”, published about1839, quoting Edmund Burke, the English states,
man, as saying: There were three estates in parliament; but in the reporter’s gallery yonder,
there sat a fourth estate—more important by farthan them all. It is not a figure of speech, or wittysaying; it is a literal fact—very momentous touse in these times.” This quotation has led manyto believe that Edmund Burke is the father of
the "fourth estate.”But the historians point out that Carlyle didnot say when or on what occasion Burke made theremark, and no record of Burke's statement ap
pears elsewhere. Carlyle may have been mistakenin giving credit to Burke.Research indicates that Carlyle himself used
the phrase “fourth estate” two years before hecredited it to Burke. Carlyle in 1837 wrote, thefourth estate, or able editors, springs up; increases and multiplies irrepressible, incalculable.Another pebble that clouds the historical watersis Macaulay’s reference to the fourth estate in
1828: "The gallery in which the reporters sat hasbecome the fourth estate of the realm.”
Boswell, too, got into the act with his referencein “Life of Johnson” (1791) to “The Stupendousfourth estate, whose world-wide embracing influ
ence what eye can take it?”If Carlyle’s report of Burke’s statement wascorrect, Burke probably did oriwnate the term,because he died in 1797. Carlyle’s first mention ofthe "fourth estate” appeared in 1837.Any way you look at the situation, the newspapers got all the glory, and the historians got allthe heartaches.—Canadian Statesman, Bowman

Only the other day a Tillsonburg man thought
he’d do “a couple of nice looking young fellows”
a favor and give them a lift. They seemed young
and pleasant, and talking to them would while
away the time. Now he’s whiling away his time in
the hospital after the beating of his career.
North of Toronto a happy young couple took*
pity on some tired looking chap who apparently
had a long way to go, and they gave him a ride.
The couple were brutally murdered, apparently
by the man they befriended, and there’s a Can
ada-wide search for him.
There are a lot of people on the road—young,
old, male and female. They’re travelling singly
or in pairs. Some wear army uniforms; others are
apparently going to school or college. Many are
transients just looking for a job. Some look
scruffy, and you wouldn’t give them a lift any
way. Others are well-dressed and seem pleasant
and friendly, and actually only want a ride.
Frankly, passing some of them gives us a guilty
conscience. We step on the gas, or look the other
way. or wave our arm to suggest we’re not really
going in their direction, or that we’re turning up,
or some other such ruse. It really makes us feellike a Reel to pass them by.
But you never can tell by appearances, and
once again the many legitimate, honest-to-good-
ness people, anxious for a ride, have to suffer for
the few. But the only way to save your skin is to
give no one a ride.
That’s what police advise.
We strongly concur.
Highway Frontages Are
Popular Residential Areas
More and more homes are being put up along
Ontario Highway ribbons, by thrifty citizens who,in looking to the future, want a guarantee ofstability in a few acres of tillable land, so that
when and if times change for the worse, they willat least be able to produce from the soil the nec
essities of life. This trend, which has been followed all over Europe, and more recently in tne United States, has now begun to take hold in the St.
Mary district. To escape high taxation overhead,many district families are acquiring small holdingsalong roads outside the town, where they arebuilding or intend to erect homes and small outbuildings for the keeping of fowl and other live
stock. , , . , ...This is a healthy trend, and one which willmake for stability in the future. It really is a
turning back to the conditions which existed seventy or eighty years ago, when everyone wanteda small acreage from which to make a living,when times were hard. The present trend stemsfirst from the fact that transportation makes liv
ing five miles out just like it used to be six blocksaway from work in the horse and buggy days,and secondly from the fact that people today,
mindful of the years after 1929, are apprehensive
of the future.Owners of farm lands, around St. Marys, re-
port that they are receiving offers to sell highwayand travelled road frontage lota quite frequently
these days, which goes to show that there is adefinite movement back to the land, in a small
way at least.—St. Marys Journal-Argus.
Summer time never means less re
quests for information at the library.There may not be quite as many requests as in other months of the year
but they certainly cover a wide rangeof interests.A request for a book on Yoga theother day, came side by side with a
request for a book on Geometry simplified. And a request for a list ofAmerican Colleges jostled a request
for a book on how to make slip coversand another for a book with some good
jokes in it.Not so long ago th< library wasasked for something about “the bestway to shine shoes”. Some amazing
facts turned up. One book containedrecipes for shoe polish which calledfor such ingredients as cuttlefish
bones, rock candy, gin and sugar andwhite of egg; in one case stale beerwas recommended. In fact the wealth
of information given on thia subjectwas a little overwhelming, for a greatmany requests point up a lack of mat
erial in the library. We should havethe statutes of Ontario for instance,and better maps of Ontario and more
information about the towns and cities of the province. Requests for allthese things lately have led to a search
for books and material to cover thistype of information.Sometimes the library makes use ofthe Inter Library loan system for
books we do not have. Recently Woodstock Library supplied a book to dealwith a request about the construction
and measurement of King Tut’s tomb.Requests for biography relating tothe royal families of Europe has unearthed an unexpected number ofbooks on this topic and so has a persistent interest in books on the early
settlers of Canada.Books on the Elizabethan Englandand how to estimate building costa
were asked for this summer, and bookson how to plan a bazaar, and how to,build a boat, colour schemes for house
decoration, new ideas for trimming'hats, coins, leatherwork, something on <plumbing, picnics, the recent history
of Westminster Abbey, were some ofthe day to day requests this summer.Just now, books 4n such diverse
subjects as the following, are out forstudy this month, Bridge, Diesel Engines, The Milk Industry, Pottery,
Golf, Carpentry, stamps, VictorianPoets, Faust, Knots, Psychiatry and
Painting.We like people to make a habit ofasking for information at the library.
If we haven’t got the required material, we can try to obtain it.

Dear Mr. Editor:39 years ago I came west to the
foothills of Alberta, so needless tosay we enjoy the write-ups of placesand folk, some of which we onceknew. Can remember working in
Deercreek cheese factory, t> milessouth of Ingersoll. It has been “no
more” for a long, long time.W. J. MORRIS,Bowden, Alta.P.S.—Enclosed find $2 to renewmy Tribune.

Miss Susie Boles, King St. W., was
cut about the head and suffered shock1
when the car in which she was riding,
was in collision with another drivenby Eugene Pridmore, R.R. 4 Dunn-;ville, at Wellington and Canterbury;
streets Sunday. Miss Boles was withMrs. Hazel Hill, R.R. 6, Hagctsvilleand her two children, Guy 2, andCheryl 3. The Hill car was turned on

■ The Toll of Speed
It is not our intention to suggest that any em
ployee should "slow-up” purposely during work
ing hours. That would be considered bad policy in
any organization of workers and the Civil Ser
vice should be expected to set an example.
However, during the past few weeks, a number
of men, supposedly in the prime of life, have
been called by the Grim Reaper without a mom
ent's warning. And in view of the hustle and
bustle and general speed of modem day living,
we believe it is high time some thought was given
to the important problejn of the worker'rf’physical
well-being.
We repeatedly hear about the value of "fre
quent checks” by one’s physician. But who wants
to visit a doctor when he is well? As a matter of
fact we know of one man, now on his back in bed,
who had repeatedly advocated such a check.
And just incidentally, wc might add here that
among the victims of sudden heart attacks in re.
cent months, there have been more than one - em
inent physican and,surgeon. How come?
Is it not a fact that too many people today keep
going until they have to give up? Yet the old
axiom that "you can never escape either death
or taxes”, stlil holds good as it has during the
centuries since the world was made.
In writing this editorial we are thinking more
especially of officials of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture who have been laid low in recent
months by nothing more than pressure of work.
Each one, in a truly conscientious frame of
,«nind, has so many jobs to do and absolutely re-
■ fuses to shirk his duty, with the net result that a
break-down occurs.
Even the writer of this piece of advice would
not feel like shirking duty to take a rest, never-
thelesj/Ce know that there is a limit to man’s
endurance.
In this modern age of speed man is nothing
Party and Permanency
That veteran press gallery man, Mr. R. K.Carnegie, who is now running a very interesting
column in numerous Canadian papers, puts intothe mouth of the imaginery Ottawa politician
"Dan Surely” the penetrating remark that “TheProgressive Conservative party is constantly
harassed by the fear that it is going to die.” Inthe last two elections the party "had gone intothe fight convinced it must either win or fold up.”“Mr. Surely’’ disagrees with this pessimistic view,and says that at the convention he supported Mr.
Donald Fleming for the leadership in the idea thatthe party could not win in 1949 anyhow and thatMr. Fleming could be built up into a very good
national figure by 1952. “Nobody agreed withme. They all told me the party could not survive
another defeat. The only iman who could win thenext election was Georg* Drew. Mr. Drew wasduly nominated, and the * election was certainly
fought in precisely the manner which this attitude
would suggest.“Mr. Surely” has another idea about the Con
servative paYty. The big men, he says, exert alltheir influence when it comes to selecting a leadeifl
Then they provide him with funds and go homeand let him sink or swim, never getting intxjthe fight themselves. “The notable exception was
George McCullagh ... He really took off his coat
and fought” . .This is a very interesting observation and probably contains a great deal of truth. We do not
suppose that Mr. McCullagh took off his coatmerely because he saw that nobody else was doingso, or that lie would have fought less demonstra
tively if he had had companions. Mr. McCullaghlakes off his coat because it is his nature to do so.But he would certainly have been a less conspic
uous figure if a few other “big men” had ralliedround with something other than cheques, andthat, while it might not have added to Mr. Mc-Cullagh’s happiness, would havr added a greatdeal to the party’s health and prospects.We think Mr. Surely’s idea can be carried a
stage further. If the Conservative party goes intoa third election "convinced it must either win or
fold up” it might just as well'fold up now. Apolitical party needs a more confident hold on lifethan that if it is to live.—Saturday Night
How To Stop Smoking
Have you ever stopped to think why you smoke?An explanation comes from Moscow which youmight like to think over.It appears in a paper called KomsomolskayaPravda which is the official organ for Communistyouth, and it is written by the editor, Dr, A. Kus-netsov, who obviously takes his task most seri
ously. Dr. Kusnetsov thinks that smoking is athreat to the well-being of the Russian nation.It is only, he says, in capitalist countries that"hunger, misery and/despair make a man cloudhis brain with tobacco.” In the United States,he asserts, they even sell special cigarettes forchildren. But in Russia, says the doctor: “Soviet
youth, being the happiest in the world, need notresort to tobacco.”So when you see our LPP organizers smoking,
yonjl know it’a on ly the “Series of Canadiancapitalism that have driven them to it.

Learning to Make Plastics
rf Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single
one of us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combine^ tractors,business machines, etc. are producing goods and services which earndollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other
necessities which contribute to our security and high standard of living.
Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow
of a steady supply of trained workers to industrial plants. These workers
will operate machines which are important to our way of life.
We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government,industry and labour in the field of employee training. In schools and in
factories our workers,young and old,arc given the opportunity to develop
new and specific skills in every field of business ana industrial activity.
For instance, as in the pictures shown here, every effort of Ontario’s
newly-skilled plastics workers will mean better plastic products — will
help to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and work.

Master Machine for Modern Farmers
A recent survey showed the owners of self-
propelled combines in Western Canada tobe divided like this:
6 1.9 % were owner* of Maoty-Harrh
38.1 % won owner* of ofbor makes
This is a very significant fact. Fanners don’t
choose their machines by whim or fancy.
Such a high preference for Massey-Harris is
proof beyond doubt that Massey-Harris
combines give them the best all-round
performance ... in fast harvesting, clean
threshing, freedom from field delays, low
cost of operation.
If you were to visit the Massey-Harris
combine factory and watch the long train-
loads of combines pulling out of the railway
siding, you would see something else that is
noteworthy. Many of these train-loads are
destined for United States points, because
Massey-Harris combines are as popular in
Kansas, Texas and the Dakotas as they are
in the Canadian West.
And if you observed further, you would
find many carloads destined for far-away
countries like Argentine, India, Turkey,
Tanganyika. All over the world, the
Massey-Harris self-propelled combine is
' known and recognized as the master mach
ine for modem farmers,
find
Han
Wherever you
iem agriculture, you find Massey-ombines in use and in demand.

ha h yea> we nr* experiencing
r t ,w ith .(uuker run oft and Jur-
inv the tumu>«r months more diuhes
ami waier courses an becoming dry
f 'r periods. The summer
stream flow in many of our larger
stream? is very low and creating
problems of pollution. It would also
appear, as has been amply demstra-
ted this year, that we experience
drought conditions totf soon after
spring freshets.
“Innumerable farm wells are fail
ing. It would appear most of these
wells are fed from surface water.
Indications are that spring fed and
drilled wells are not failing but thelevel of water, in many cases is
falling. Each year we are drawing
heavier on our underground water
suppy.
“Never at any time in our history
has our fieed for adequate continu
ing water supply been greater than
at the present time: Never have weexperienced such a number of dried-
up streams and minimum flow in ourlarger streams. It is very import
ant that something be done as quick
ly as possible to restore our water
, resources.
“As a temporary measure, it may
be advisable to build larger storageor check dams to prevent flood dam
age. However, it is felt the following
steps should be taken:— •
“1. Build small earth storage
dams with proper spillways at the
head waters of all adequately-sized
streams. This will hold back floodwaters, slow up the runoff and per
mit greater time for the surface
water to penetrate or reach ourground water and result in increased
minimum summer flow to our main
streams.2. Steps should be taken to pre
vent drainage of our swamps and
low marginal land areas which provide natural storage for water.
3. Practice contour plowing
which would slow- up runoff and
provide greater time for pentration
into our agricultural lands.4. Increase tree average overthe whole >area on private as well as
publicly-owned lands. We could fence
off and permit the trees to grow or
by reforestation increase the cover
age on our swamps, hillsides, creekbottoms, rough lands and low mar
ginal lands. As there is little pub
licly owned land in Oxford County, it is important something be
done either to encourage the owner
to carry out these recommendations
or to enter into some arrangementwith competent authority or organ
ization created by legislation whowould, in turn, handle such a program. ‘/It is recognized that con
siderable public education will be
required to encourage private owners to enter into a long term agree
ment covering a program of public
good. Any such program could notbe carried out without entering upon
privately owned lands.
“The question of ownership of the
land is of little consequence if the
major program for public good can
be accomplished. If a farmer wouldagree to place his woodlot or«other
suitable areas under the manage
ment of a publicly sponsored organ
ization, should he not be entitled to
the financial results from the sale ofhis tree crop at some future date o«-have use of the fire-wood pruned outwhen it is ready to be cut?“Conservation and improvement
in our water resources is of publicgood. Would it, therefore, not b* in
order for public funds to be spent
to accomplish such even though this
money is expended on privately
owned lands.
“Your committee feels that some
thing should be done at once lothas a temporary and a long-range
programme to conserve and improve
the water resources of this County.
It is considered as vital to the con
tinuance of our agricultural pur
suits and maintaining adequate
water supply for our urban centers.

“The committee feels private individuals should receive more en
couragement in the starting of plan
tations and' in protecting their wood
lots from cattle. In view of the factthat many people do not plant trees
because so many years are necess
ary to realize any income from the
trees so planted; and because we
feel individuals should be reimbur
sed for the care that they havetaken with their woodlots which
have given protection to the peigh-
borhood, we recommend:“1* That the exemption from
taxation on woodlots be abolishedand in its stead a payment of $5-00
per acre be made yearly by the Department of Lands and Forests on
plantations and woodlots, to the
limit of 10% of a man’s holdirgs.
Before such payment is made, the
woodlot or plantation must pass in-

“2. Another way to stop the
practice of pasturing livestock inwoodlots is to educate the farmersmore intensively on the values of the
woodlots which they own.
“3. As many landowners lose
valuable trees stolen for Christmastrees, we recommend that all per
sons hauling Christmas trees be able
to show on inspection by the Ontario Provincial ^Police, a bill of sale
covering such ’frees. Persons haul
ing trees without such a bill of saleshould then be investigated and be
open to prosecution.
4. In view, of the fact manymunicipal drains cause much dam
age to woodlots, the owners of wnich
have to pay for the drain under the
present set-up, we urge that the
recommendations made .by Major-General Kennedy in the Report of
the Ontario Royal Commission on
Forestry regarding the Municipal
Drainage Act and the Ditches ai.dWatercourses Act be adopted assoon as possible.
“During the past few years, Ox
ford County Council has done agreat deal towards helping to re
forest some of our idle land. They
have purchased 782 acres, of which
only 177 acres have yet to be plan
ted. It is the plan of the CountyCouncil to buy more of this idle
land each year and have it refores
ted. We feel this practice should- be
encouraged.
“The Authority has already giv
en considerable attention to 9 Con
servation Program in Oxford, but so
far the work has been largely ex
ploratory. An attempt has beenmade to acquire property in theZorra Swamp in order to prevent
further drainage of this valuable
natural reservoir. It is recognized
that the swamp in a natural statewill be highly beneficial to bothPerth and Oxford Counties, but to

Ojf KeithIf there I* one fur-baarer thateveryone know* by odor a* well a* by
night, it is a black mammal about thesize of a large tom-cat with a patchof white extending from the crown of
it* head to the middle of its back andthen forking along each aide toward*
the tail.
Aa well aa being a well known animal, the skunk ia also one of the commoneat and widely-distributed fur
bearer* in Southern Ontario. Not thatall mammal* are not covered with fur,of course, but by fur-bearer we mean
an animal whose pelt ia generally considered valuable in the fur trade. Present trends in milady’s fur preferences
have tended to veer away from skunkfur in favor of muskrat, mink, beaver,seal and processed sheep pelts, but
the lowly skunk will come into its ownagain one of these day*.
As a result of the current low priceof skunk pelts, few trapper* bothermaking »et* for them. Even farm lads
who used to depend on taking a doaenor so skunk pelts for a little extra
pocket money now find simpler, lessdangerous and more lucrative means.All thia, plus the skunk’s inherent
prolificacy and the fact that it i* quiteprepared to associate closely with man(without caring what man’s opinion
on the matter may be) has had theeffect of making life very simple for
the skunk.
The only factor seriously affecting
the skunk's well-being at present isthe automobile. Skunks are such completely fearless arflmals that even the
approach of a car does not hurrythem, and many reach sudden and untimely — if not unmarked — ends.
Last Tuesday we had occasion to driveI from Baden to Maple over No. 7' Highway, and counted eleven skunk's
| killed the previous night along the 80-mile route.
If this ratio of about one skunkkilled every eight miles of highway ona single night gives anything like a
true picture for the whole provinces,the numbers of these animals that die
each night in Southern Ontario areappreciable. Chances are, of course,that more are killed at present, when
the inexperienced young are becoming
independent of the family tie*, than
at any other time of year.
The skunk usually wander* out
from hi* daytime sleep soon after sundown to begin his nightly hunt forinsects, miee, grubs, bird’s eggs ber-
riee and almost any small animal hehappens to encounter. He will eat
practically anything, not even turninghi* nose up at garbage, a* the occupant* of many summer cottage* will
testify. Many a garbage pall that isoverturned and its contents scatteredin the night, even in the large cities,
would more correctly be charged toforaging skunk* than the neighbor'sdog*.* • s
Skunk* are active throughout the
early winter months, but by the endof December most of the females denup and few venture out again until
winter’s back is broken. The males,however, rarely hibernate for morethan a day or two at a stretch in ex
tremely cold weather. Mice are alwaysan important food tq_ skunks, but in
winter, when there is little else available, rodents come to form a majoritem on the menu.
One word entirely lacking from theskunk’s vocabulary is "speed.” Nomatter the apparent urgency, they
refuse to be hurried. For defence theydepend entirely on their notoriously
effective spraying mechanism. Thisconsists of two specialized glandslocated near the tail. Muscles can force
the liquid into a fine spray withdeadly accuracy through a distance upto about 25 feet. With a little assist-
‘ ance from the wind the distance canbe increased considerably. This form
of self-protection is used only in caseof extreme emergency.
Much has been written concerningthe effects of anyone unfortunateenough to receive a charge of the
spray in his eyes. Apparently such aperson need have no fear of lasting
deleterious effect. "Although his eyeswill burn and he will be temporarilyblinded, the tears will wash the eyes
clean in a few minutes," says W. H.Burt in "The Mammals of Michigan.”"The painful effects, albeit not the
odor, will disappear. To this I canattest from personal experience.”(London Free Preet)

Life started with a single cell form,id from that ail else has sprung. A
,.ngle individual is made up of millions of single ce’U, all alike in theirsimplicity But they take on a diff
erence as they multiply to form anorgan. The organ itself is simple inits component parts, but compoundedit becomes an intricate and marvellouswhole, the study of which is a lifetimejob for some specialist So it is with
every organ of every living thing, animal or plant
Human life all over the globe musthave been very simple in its beginnings. Nothing but his hands, with thewonderfully developed thumb, served
the original man. And that hand with' the developing brain behind it, made- everything else possible. The simplest
weapons and utensils he made fromflint and clay. Sharp-edged flintswere his cutting-tools, gourds his ut
ensils, the originals of our manyshaped and sized knives, our innumerable and varied utensils. The skins
he took from the animals he slew forfood, or in defence, were his only clothing. Clothing for adornment was a
much later'development, a steady advance from the simple to the complicated. So with his housing. A bare
cave, where he could shelter from thecold or hide from his enemies, was theforerunner xrf every abode, be it cot
tage or mansion. A young wolf caught Iand tamed was the beginning of his ]excursion into possession. The '
- creature owned became the epitome ofwhole flocks by which later he countedhis wealth. The plot of land he culti
vated to grow grain, he was to multiply to make vast estates, and thesein turn were to be broken up and sold
as real estate on which to house thepeople of another age.
Nothing remain^ simple. All life is
complicated to such a degree that manyearns to go back, to free himself ofthe things that bind him, the posses-' sions that possess him. To be free to■hunt and fish for his food, to enjoy
the fresh air of mountain and sea, toroam the woods and take in the beauty .nature offers, to get away from taxes
and the thousand and one demandsmade on his time and money in ourmodern way of living. To forget that ’the radio and plane were ever invented, to rely on his own voice and themusic of the birds and the rippling ‘
of the waters, the wind in the trees, *and to regain the joy of travelling onhis own two feet again. These are the .
simple things a man yearns for and 'seeks in his short release from an ,
everyday world. j
But we can’t go back. Few wouldwish to. We have become too used to £the amenities we have created to care j
to be primitive again. Water, hot andcold must gush from-taps all over the «house. It cannot be dipped from spark- ,
ling brooks, for they are polluted with jpoisons of our own making. The firethat lays hidden in two Micks or could fbe struck from the flints is too slow, jtoo laborious for modern times. Electricity and gas must do the trick for
us.1
No, we are of modern times and \must perforce use modern' methods. J
Out Iiv h are complicated by the verymeans we have used to free us of
labour. But deep in us is the yearningto go back to our simple beginnings.And that is why when released for a
while from the year around grindthat buys ua our complications and ourmodern mode of living, we want the
woods and lakes and idleness in thesun. The world, the noisy, harrassed,perplexing world is too much with ua.
We yearn to get away from it. Weneed a holiday.

Cheques Surpass Cash
For All-Round Safety
You probably know of cases where
a friend paid cash for something,
forgot his receipt, and needed itlater. Annoying situations like thisare never necessary. When you payby Bank of Montreal cheque,
missing receipts don’t matter. Thecashed cheque automatically be

The B of M cheque has anotherimportant advantage over cash. It’smuch safer. Coins or bills, once mis

Mrs. S. T. asks; “How can I mftkecrisp shoestring potatoes?Answer: Cut raw potatoes into
very fine slivers and soak them inic water awhile. Drain them thor
oughly on towel; drop quickly intovery hot fat Cook with cover off.Remove when brown, drain on soft
paper. Salt only when ready toserve.
Mrs. J. M. suggests: Insert shortsections of drinking straws into theslits of a fruit pie before you put
in the oven to bake. The juice risesin the straws instead of runningover.
Mrs. H. D. says: Ever buy hickory salt from the butcher? Just apinch of smoked salt in hamburgs isa good seasoning.
The^prliri old lady was given thefirst glass of beer she ever had.After sipping it for a moment sift

Ronald Hoare. 14, were riding theirbikes along Bell S t the other day,
when they ran over an old wallet.At least the first boy to ride overit, thought it was, and he kept going.The second lad, however, said tohimself, well you neuer can tell, andhe stopped and picked it up.It contained 8140—and there was
no name inside.The boys, however, didn’t hesitate.
They turned it over to the police andcontinued on their way. But nowthey’re $10 richer — each of them.
It turned out that the wallet waslost by Gordon Mott, driver for S. M.Douglas and Sons. The grateful Co.
—and driver—kicked in with the reward.
