Last Friday. Harold got paid.Saturday he cashed his cheque. Sat­urday night his wallet was gone—dropped some place, he feels. Inaddition to his pay, it contained hisbadge, official papers, other papersand some snapshots. Monday Harold got his walletback.Wrapped in an old paper bag, itwas left balancing on the doorknobto Corp. J. W. Callander’s office.The badge was there, also thepapers. But no money.And in addition—and this is theironly clue—a picture of his girl wasgone. Must have been a man who hasthe money, is the police view. Who Is This Guy Called Crosby Anyway?

The Ingersoll Baseball Associa­ tion was formed, with Ross Fewster as president. Glen Bradfield is being asked to be vice-president, and'Mark Simpson was named secretary.Fewster, as baseball “czar” forIngersoll, will sit on the Recreaiton Commission, and also on the Inter­County baseball league. All baseballin Ingersoll will come under his jurisdiction.The meeting was attended byLarry Harris, recreation director,Dr. Monty Jarrett, who acted as chairman; Rev. C. D. Daniel, of the'Recreation Commission; Lou Martin,of the Community Centre; Ham Gosse, “Y" secretary; Mark Sjtnp*Rev. John Ward, who launched ason, Frank Fulton, P. T. Walker, church softball series last year;Hcrm Lindsey, Ross Fewster, HuckArmstrong, Ralph Bowman , RalphBeemer, Norman Harper, Ken Moy­er, Ken Heslop, and Murray Christie.- Huck Armstrong informed themeeting it was hoped to have inter­ mediate ball. Ken Moyer said Mor­row's might sponsor midget ball, and Ham Gosse said Fred Wurkerhad. promised to coach the juveniles.Y’smen are expected to sponsor thejuveniles again. The Machine Co.will probably handle Bantams andPeewees. Larry Harris is going toask the Lions if they might back a junior team this year.Discussing the broad question ofsport and recreation, Mr. Harris dis­ closed that he, Charlie Eidt andCurrie Wilson were surveying ftown for potential playgrounds, was hoped, he said, to have oneevery section of town. Years Go By Ere Deed Known If good deeds are measured by their anonymity then that of a group' of men from the Ingersoll Machine and Tool Co. Ltd., must rank with the best. Unrevealed for more thafi two years, the story would probably have gone unreveal­ ed always if it had not been for an alert London reporter. The men concerned were Harold Johnson, ■ Glen Soper, George Lat- ford, Dave Nancekivell, Morris Bruce, Fred Juett, Gaylor Croker and Roy Morris. Some time ago, years in fact, a former fellow worker, the late Ivan McDonaldhappened to casually mention oneday that his father-in-law, Preston Marrison, a Thedford farmer, wassuffering from an obscure type ofanemia. The only thing that kept him alive was twice-monthly trans­fusions of blood.It was within days that hl» friendshad got together and all donated blood for the unfortunate man, giv­ing him a few more months to live, and giving doctors at London's Vic­toria Hospital a few more months inwhich to discover the disease thatwas causing the trouble, Pioneering the way, a new kind ofplant-wide pay-incentive plan hasbeen installed by William Stone Sons,Ltd., manufacturers of “National”Fertilizers and “National’' FeedingConcentrates, meat products, tallow, grease, and Dealers in hides, andskins. This i8 announced by F. HeathStone, president. Under the scheme which is knownas the “Rucker Share of Production"Plan, all hourly paid employees, num­ bering about 150, are assured of adefinite share of the production val­ues they help to create. Throughout the company’s 80years, Mr. Stone said, “We have al­ways had good relations with ouremployees, and have tried to provide them with security in the form of in­surance, pension plan, hospitaliza­tion for both employees and depen­ dents, and other benefits in keepingwith the times. We believe thig planwill give our people a wider oppor­ tunity for enlarging their earningsalong with the growth and prosperityof the company. It should give them real benefits on a sound businessbasis and reward them for doing aneven better job than the good work they have done in the past.”The Rucker Plan gives both mana­gement and employees an equal op­portunity to increase their earnings.Arthur E. Izzard, executive vice-president of Stones, said, “Our at­tention was first directed toward the Rucker Plan when we heard of thesuccessful installation at WabassoCotton Company. (Three Rivers, Quebec). We thoroughly investigatedthe plan, both at Wabasso and otherplaces, and had an opportunity to observe first-hand how it was workedout. The results were most satisfac­tory, and we are installing the plan wth great hopes for its success withour employees.”Installed at William Stone Sons, Ltd., by the Eddy-Rucker-Nitkels Company, management consultants,Cambridge, Mass., on principles ori­ginated by Allen W. Rucker, presi­ dent, the plan makes it possible foremployees to earn more pay for moreproductivity and increased efficiency, without any change in the hourlywage rates. There are several features distinct from other wage incentive plans. Itis all-inclusive of the hourly-paid em­ployees, bringing in direct workers, material handlers, and truck drivers,as well as direct production workers.It ig the only plan which rewards em­ployees for savings in material and (Continued on Page 12) A group of Ingersollites attendedthe hockey game in Toronto Satur­ day night and there is one younglady of the crowd who will vouchfor the altertness of the Maple Leaf Garden ushers.

Dear Mr. Editor: On Sunday morning, flames des­troyed the Baptist church in our vil­lage with loss estimated at $15,p00. Had it not been a beautifully calmmorning, the day before the begin­ning of spring, the loss to our vil­ lage may have been many many timesthat sum.Coming on the heels of the mira­ culous saving of the bam of GordonRoss, East Nissouri on the previousday by a group of neighboring far­ mers, this fire which devastated achurch shocked our citizens no end.It ig to be hoped that we are dis­ turbed to the point where we willimmediately make some worth-whileattempt to provide ample fire pro­ tection for this village. Although thefire was discovered before 9:30 a.m.,it was after 10 o’clock before we, living within the block of the burn­ing building, knew of the fire. Ourneighbors knew naught of it until 10.40 a.m., at which time, the roofwa8 a mass of blaze.Could we not have a better method of fire alarm in this village? Fouryears ago last October in the earlymorning, when fire was discoveredin the Odd Fellow’s Hall, several ofour citizens rushed up and down thestreets, knocking on doors announc- ing the fire. The Odd Fellow’s Hall was saved.On Sunday morning, two calls by reliable citizens were sent to Londonfor assistance. By no means wouldwe cast any ill reflections on the valuable service rendered u8 by theLondon Fire Department, but helpfor fire must be immediate. Provided it i« approved by Inger­soll, (only half the distance fromThamesford, as is London) let us en­deavour to make some arrangement with their Fire Department for fireprotection. Ingersoll is just as nearas our telephone and could give us protection just as immediate as ourown volunteers could get out a truckof our own. Our taxes are very low. Let us spend some money on fire pro­tection by paying yearly a certainfigure to Ingersoll. Let us, AT OUR expense, ask the Ingersoll Fire De­partment to make two or three testruns to Thamesford. Let our village council select a few dozen men toco-operate with the Ingersoll FireDepartment. Let our village council send into every village home a leaf­let, “what to do in case of fire.”Let every public building in thia village keep in a conspicuous place,a*hatchet, a saw, a fire extinguisher,,and a bucket. Finally, let us install-an alarming fire alarm. A Thamesford Resident(name on request) ^Imperial Bank Branch Here Notes Birthday with Parent Imperial Bank of Canada is cele­ brating its 75th birthday this month,and that is of particular interest to Ingersoll. The Ingersoll branch, un­der the present management of J. R.Henley, was one of the first branches to be established, and it is only threemonths younger than the parentbank. Imperial bank, whose present pre­sident, I. K. Johnston, once served inIngersoll, first opened its doora for business on March 16, 1875, in< theMasonic* Hall at 18 Toronto St.”, Tor­onto, then the heart of the Ontario capital's financial district. Threemonths later Imperial Bank absorbedthe Niagara district bank, which for about 20 years hud played an impor­tant part in the development of theNiagara Peninsula. There were threebranches—St. Catharines, Ingersolland Port Colbome.Ingersoll branch's historic position; is more clearly emphasized when onerealizes that there are now 255 Im­perial bank branches in Canada. The Niagara district branch wasestablished in Ingersoll in 1856, withC. E. Chadwick as manager right up to the time it was taken over by theImperial Bank in 1875. He stayed onafter, too. Before erecting its pre­ sent building in 1913, the bank waswhere Radio Station CKOX is now. then G. L. Alexander to 1921; I. K. Johnston, now president of the bank,and who married an Ingersoll girl,served until 1924; A. L. Murray had charge until 1936, until succeeded byT. R. Jones, who later went to Wind­sor. Mr. Henley took over from himin 1942. In Mr. Chadwick’s time, it was aone-man affair. Today Ingersoll bra­ nch has a staff of 10, including Mr,Henley, L. L. Wilson, J. M.. Miller,George Tribe, W. Hollingshead, L. D. McCurdy, and Misses M. G. Smith,-K. E. Hutchison, B. E. Napthen, andL. M. McNoah. Imperial Bank of Canada hasgrown to be one of the most import­ant of Canada's group of ten Chart­ ered Banka. It has survived twoworld wars, and come through a mod­ern economic depression with greater strength than ever before, and hasmade notable contributions to thefinancing of Canada’s industrial, ec­ onomical, mineral and agriculturaldevelopment. Their Red Faces Gave Forth Light Around The Town Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Waud, well-knoWn here, helped fight .the fireat Gordon Ross’, East Nissouri the other day, when it was confined tothe bam. Mr. and Mrs. Waud liveon the farm. Charlie Guilford, at the MachineCo., doesn’t know if his leg was being pulled or not, but he candream, can’t he. A cable, datelinedDublin, Ireland, came to him saying “Have drawn Lack of Beer in Irish".Charlie's not sure there’s any suchhorse, but he cant help thinking whathe’d do with the $75,000. Give mostto the Red Cross, of course, or theEaster Seal campaign. The Royal Bank looks pretty sna­ zzy these days after a streamliningjob inside. The staff of the Ingersoll colleg­iate, knowing what a good cause theRed Cross is, got together and sub­ scribed $50. Flu and recurrence of measles (yepagain) are putting quite a crimp in the attendance at I.C.I. And examscoming up, too. The kind-hearted clerks in one ofour stores thought only of the hard­working men of the Public Utilitiesthe other afternoon when the lights went out and expressed the hope itwas nothing serious.As time went on and the gloom became a bit thick, a few questionswere asked and it was found theyalone were without electricity. The fuse box was investigated with noresults and finally an electrician wascalled. More fuse changing. No re­ sults. Then someone thought of theswitch. The results that time madeit plenty light enough to see the red faces of all concerned. Of coursethey have an excuse—it must havebeen touched as they moved somefurniture—but nobody will believe'them anyway. The Canadian Red Cross, devoted to helping others, hasitself sent out a call for help. It needs money to carry out those many services whichha*e saved the lives of thousands and beriefitted the tens of thousands. First aid courses, water-safety programs, bloodbanks, (one of which will be installed in the new Alexandrahospital), outpost hospitals, disaster relief . . . these are but afew of the many things they do.' But it takes money----a lot of ItAnd that is where you and I come in.Ingersoll and area is asked for ¥3,000, less than 50 centsper person for everyone in Ingersoll.

JOHNSTON Books and records in the possession of the bank show that the last Ster­ling entry, that is, in pounds, shillingsand pence, was Dec. 31, 1857. The first dollar entry was January 2,,1858. When Mr. Chadwick was incharge, or was theagent, as the post was known then, he was allowed £15a month or about $75, for both hissalary and to pay the tent. The present building is the formersite of a hotel, and is old propertyof the Ingersoll family.

MondayUnited THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1950 Must Decide Liquor Question Strictly On Its Own Merits Frankly, we regret that the bogey of Communism has now been brought into the campaign in con­ nection with the forthcoming vote in Ingersoll on the liquor and beer questions. The sincerity of Rev. J. M. Ward in calling the situation as he sees it cannpt be questioned, but we feel he is unduly alarmed and haa given undue importance and weight to an outside issue which may or may not exist. And, by doing so, he has invited charges and countercharges and confusion which can only serve to obscure what otherwise should be a clear-cut proposition — does Ingersoll, or does it not, want a liquor store or brewer's ware­ house, or both. The people of the town are being asked to vote April 18th whether the town shall stay dry or go wet. Many people feel that it would be a good idea if the town had its own liquor Stores; many are dead against the idea. Some are fighting for it, others are fighting against it, and so, for the next few weeks, we will be hearing how bad it will be if liquor or beer come to Ingersoll, or how much good it will do the town. And it is strictly upon the merits of liquor, or the lack of them, that th$>people should be voting. Let us not drag in outside angles and personal­ ities, and thus becloud (he issue. It doesn't matter who circulated the petition, enough people of this community signed it to make a vote necessary. And by voting, they will decide. It is the democratic way. We do not think Mr. Ward is helping his own cause by bringing in these other issues. It will be a good thing to settle the liquor and beer question one way or another. But let us keep to the main question. Only in that way can we hope for a sound, thought-out decision. Girls, Cut Your Nails Before You Hurt Yourselves Why more girls don’t hack themselves to death, or at least to small pieces, on the basketball floors we’ll never know. Have you seen some of those fingernails? Frankly, we think that for their own protection the girls should cut their fingernails for such games. We’ve seen both bare arms with ugly gashes on them — caused by a long fingernail. A face could easily be scarred, and loss of an eye —or eyes — is not beyond the realm of possibility. And, apart from that, a sloppily caught or hand­ led ball might easily tear off a nail and cause pain­ ful injury. We think, in the girls' own interests, long finger­ nails should not be permitted in basketball. Notes on the Editor's Pad.. If one looks carefully at our downstairs window panes, he can see dog-paw marks all over the place, and thefeby hangs a tale. It concerns our dog, Wady, originally named Lady but a youngster couldn’t get her tongue around the L, hence Wady. Wady has a habit, when let out for an evening refresher, to take hours off visiting friends. Sometimes she had not returned when the family went to bed, and so everyone said to heck with it and packed off to bed, awakening in the morning to find Wady, a sheepish and slightly frosty tail thumping, at the front door. Wady could have barked to call atten­ tion when she returned, but she’s too polite. She’d rather freeze. But now she knocks on the do.., pardon, the window, when she‘wants to come in. When she’s tired of the great outdoors, there comes a series of thumps on the window, and there’s Wady, on her hind legs, pounding away. As we said, there are paw marks everywhere.

Terrible Days Have Fallen Upon a Glittering Hollywood It’s terrible heart-rending news coming out , of Hollywood these days. Apparantely hard times have set in and for some of the poor actors and actresses it’s almost a case of not knowing wher^ their next meal is coming from. Take the case of William Bendix, for instance. He signed a new contract the other day and his plight is said to be the launching of a new, penny- pinching, scraping-to-make-ends-meet era. The poor • chap has been forced to sign a seven-year contract calling for pay of only $1,000,000. It’s hard to understand a man of his intelligence sign­ ing his life away for such a pittance. And they’re really working him to the bone for it, too. In that seven years, he’s got to make 14 pictures. Two picture^ a year, Gee, it hardly leaves him a moment to himself. It certainly looks like a case for the unions. "It's a hint of the bitter days that have fallen on Hollywood,” says the report from Hollywood. Thank goodness, we say, that we’re safe at home here where your services are appreciated and you get what your worth.

(London Free Preet) PUTNAM Mr. Thos. Beer's,family was add­ed to bj the birth of a daughter on Friday, 10th inst. Mr. Clark MeWain is slowl y re­covering from his injuries sustained in a fall. An article such as this is probably Iunnecessary in a community where < so much reading is done, but lately *we have come across several quota- -tions which point up in a special 1 way the value of reading. Peoplewho could not live without reading 1are often non-plussed when a -non- > reader implies that they are time 1wasters. Nancy Jones, the minister's 1 wife, who wrote the popular and re­ freshing "For Goodness' Sake,” hasa lively article about this in a recent iissue of the new Canadian periodical Books In Review. She say that inher travels from one parish to an­other she has found "the enjoyable communities have been those whosepeople read widely and intelligently;the very few trying ones have been those in .which a dearth of readinghas left the people turned in uponthemselves." In another article in Books InReview, there is a story of a 77- year old backwoodsman who at thatage learned to read for the.first timeand the magnitude of the miracle that he suddenly realized was his."Most of us take reading and theaccessibility of books so much forgranted that we can’t appreciatethe miracle that was his. Books arethe eyes through which men maygaze beyond the horizon of time and space.”In Books In Review, the reviewersof the books are housewives, busi­ ness men, doctors, newspapermen,ministers and other busy hiembers ’ of society, and “good sense, goodtaste, honesty and a sense of socialresponsibility "are the guides to their opinions. It is performing afine service by stressing what it con-i aiders the value of good books rather than the sensational and widely ad-> vertised. "The essential quality of i a good book is very like that of a> musical masterpiece well per- ' formed.” ;A small book that recently• arrived at the library by way of the. County Library, which fits in with, this theme is a book by Willa Cather. "On Writing.” It is for all thought- i ful readers and those who like toi know what an author thinks aboutI his own books and those of fellow . writers.To all inquirers for the book- Worlds In Collision, which is receiv- i ing so much advance publicity, thebook is on order and will be avail­able when published, the date hav­ ing been moved on from March toApril.

Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto MIDSUMMER EXAMINATIONS JUNE, 1950 MOSSLEY Mil* Gladys Bowen The Pleasures of Spring If Only To Lose That Cold There’s a note of expectancy in the air. Tuesday was March 21st — therefore Tuesday was the first day (officially) of Spring, pf course, there are those around us who will laugh pointedly as they skid patiently round on the remnants of ice cling­ ing, ivy-like to the roads. They have no romantic soul, no imagination. For them March 21st, is Tuesday pure and simple — just the third day in another week and either three or nine days to pay day whichever the case may be. If those old soothsayers are to be believed, Tues­ day waa the day when buds popped out on the trees, gras8 peeked coyly throught the dew-drenched earth, early flowers raised shy faces to the blue sky, laughing back at the blazing sun and young men’s fancy turned to what the gals had in mind all along. Ah, y es................Spring ia indeed here. ^Glorious, beautiful, wonderful spring. The time of the year when lambs gambol, us men start hunting out die sports shirt we threw away last fall, and the little woman is furiously thinking up reasons for that draw bill. Spring, oh the thrill of it, the joy of waiting for summer, the shivery pleasure of once again buying gallons of sun tan lotion. Ah-h-h-h-shoo-oo! Darn that cold anyway. It Pays To Paint As an ever increasing number of rural dwellers tn Eastern Canada study their income tax returnsthey will realize that a reasonable amount of moneyspent annually on maintenance of buildings and property is a sound business policy and is goodadvice as given by the Farmer’s Advocate. It is recognized as such by the Income Tax Department.In fact, they encourage it, for depreciation of mach­inery and equipment is an acknowledged exemption and so are repaira and upkeep of buildings. Wisely,the government is not demanding the farmer’s toolswth which he works, his buildings, an integral partof his plant, and the farm itself should be deterior­ ated m order that money may be syphoned into thenational treasury. -United States farm people have long ago realized the importance of such action and have been farmore generous in their use of paint than have we in Canada and the difference in neighboring states isdecidedly noticeable. Indirectly, the income tax maybe the means of brighteifing up the countryside inEastern Canada. As a rule, farm buildings are sadlyin need of paint and if property owners are en­ couraged by income tax exemptions to so improvethen- plant and equipment it will not be to theiradvantage only but it will boost morale, make farm holdings more attractive and whole communitiesbrighter. * (Financial Poet) Maybe They are Maybe They Aren’t As the Toronto Globe and Mail said the other day, “Flying saucers keep popping up — or rather down — all over the place.” Everybody talks about them — and nobody seems to be able to prove conclusively what th<y are. Are they meteors? Are they spots before the eyes? Arc they the Plauet Venus? Or, if you prefer it, just plain, are they? The Globe suggests tlwt perhaps they are one of Defence Min­ ister Claxton’s secret weapons — which might ex­ plain, as nothing else seems to do, his horror of a Defence Committee. Once it was vaguely suggested that they might be a new weapon belonging to some earth-bound power, but that seems to have been squashed. If Rats, Cats, Bureaucrats Bureaucracy at work — that is, really big-time bureaucracy, like the current British type — is afearsome thing. For instance, take the number of people employedin the rat-catching department of the Ministry ofFood last year. There were dozens and dozens of them and the cost of operating this particular bur­eau wa? about $325,000 in revalued dollars. One hundred and sixty-nine of these people wereengaged m the administrative part of the rodentwarfare. They were the pen pushers, the staticians,the file clerks and, of course, the top brass who dic­tate documents that start like this: "Miss Smith,take a letter on that brown rat census in NetherWallop and make sure there are seven carbon cop­ ies for inter-departmental use as well as one goodcopy for the Minister.’’ The other people — 104 of ’em, count ’em 104 —were honret-to-goodness rat catchers. This means it took 13 office workers to keep 8 warriors in the fieldagainst their common foe. Unfortunately, we haveno record- of how many rats the 104 catchers caught,but somewhere m the files of the 169 there may be some reference to this rather important phase ofthe bureau’s work. Who knows?We do suggest, however, that the government could retain its beloved bureau and still save moneyby firing the 104 rat catchers and hiring 104 leantom cats! Then there ws8 the case of the bureaucratic note to a home builder in the Plymouth area who, inci­dentally, waited four years before he got his build­ing license through the piaze of planners. This ig­ norant individualist topped his bungalow with redtiles and moved in. Two months later, he got thefollowing note from the planning authority:'Gt& *? »tandard colour for new buildings inthis district. You have seven weeks in which to remove the red roof and substitute grey. There isno appeal” (From. "Induetry”) im co ilioi m in PERFORMING ELEPHANTS The Sunday School executive met at the home of Mrs. Frank Barr,March 10, with a good attendance.Rev. M. .£■ Gandier opened the meeting with prayer.

Just about everybody who is in­terested in purebred shorthorns at­tends the Perth sales but we were surprised to learn that the Englishactress Greer Garson had been thereAlthough we didn't see her. We did, however, see the foundation herdMiss Garson bought through an ag­ent. It wan made up of five females and two bulls. They were all whiteand were bought for between 150 and250 guineas apiece. We understoodthey were for a cattle ranch Miss Garson is starting in New Mexico.We also heard some of the fastestbidding we’ve ever heard. In one period they auctioned off 90 head ofcattle in 110 minutes which is cer­tainly a lot faster than we do it in our country. All in all it was easyto understand why the Perth saleshave over many years consistently secured the highest prices for short­horn bulls anywhere in the English-speaking world.

In Scotland we were treated roy­ally and really got around. Whilethere we saw some of the finest live­stock farms of all we have seen. We also saw Winston Churchill, attendedthe world famous purebred shorthornsales at Perth, visited a number of outstanding farms and even attendeda football match at Glasgow. Ourguides in the land of the heather were Allen Campbell of the Department ofAgriculture, Scotland, and Ken Mc­Neil of Anglo-American Oil Co. They certainly did a good job of lookingafter their charges. It’s hard to know where to startin describing our experiences but as we had always wanted to attend thePerth-sales I’ll start there. The Perth sales were held in a large building specially fitted for theoccasion.^It was a two day affair withthe first day for show and the sec­ ond day for sales. The quality of cat­tle offered was very high but as faras exhibiting the cattle, I think may­ be we do the job better here in Can­ada.There werfe some outstanding bulls up for sale and the bidding was brisk.Somehow* we got the impression thatthe British breeders liked to saythat a bull cost them so many guineasand for that reason they seem will­ing to carry their bids higher than Canadian bidders would do.

In spite of the dirty weather there was a good crowd onhand to see the Rangers win eight tonothing. Compared to our game it was rather tame. They play a moregentlemanly game and body check­ing is penalized. Before we left Scotland we visitedthe farm of William Young, Sher-riton Mains, not far from Prestwick. Mr. Young is a cousin of Clark Youngof the Ontario Plowmen's Associationwhose letters you probably read a fewyears ago. William is a former presi­dent of the Scottish Farm Union and.ha8 an outstanding flock of Border- iLeceisters and a fine herd of Ayr-shires on his 400-acre farm. Our visit to the Young farm was another ofthe many highlights of our trip.I realize that in these letters I haven't told you a quarter of the in­teresting places visited nor the in­teresting people we met. It would take many more letters add also itwould take considerable time to sortcut our memories. As time goes on we may have other opportunities totell you of the things that haven’tbeen covered in these letters. But be­ fore I bring my final letter to a closethere are two matters I would like to mention. Winston Churchill.

An Important step desert* ever the face of the earth,forward in the science of hydrology and devastated industrial area*,(which is concerned with the pro-1 perries and ib«tributien of water) ,ws, taken in recent jears. It was re­cognition of the fact that the distri­bution and transport of uater obey a fundamental law of equilibrium. Thisrelationship is called the hydrologiccycle. It represents the balance of water that exists between (1) oceans,lakes, streams and underground Ingenkill, Ontario, Thursday, March 23, 1950Her Paintings Famed Far and Wide and (3) the atmosphere.Water is ceaselessly circulatingfrom the earth to the atmosphere andhack to the earth again. Evaporatingfrom ponds, streams, lakes, riversand oceans, it forms water vapor inthe air; this condenses to form clouds, and later falls back to the earth as Rain which falls on the land is dis­ posed of in all or some of four ways.:some evaporates directly, some isheld in the surface soil and subsequ­ently evaporated by plants, some fil­ ters through the top layers and pas­ses to the rocky strata beneath, andsome runs off into rivers and,streams. The amount of rainfall available forthe good of humanity is determinedby the temperature, the nature of the land surface, vegetation, and othergeographical features..That part of the rainfall that is absorbed by the ground is of verygreat importance. It sinks down un­til it joins the vast underground reservoir of water that exists underpractically all of the earth's surface.It is this ground water, ag it is cal­ led, that feeds, springs and wells andrivers. It furnishes water to plantsby capillary action. It dissolves min­ eral matter out of the soil, thus sup­plying food to the plants.The only way to get more water for our use is to intercept it in therun-off, and this is the prime featureof conservation. It is obvious that there is little usein crying for rain if we then allowit to wash across our fields and make its quickest way to the sea a-long some river bed.

Phone . 98 and 475 Ccmada’s Water Supply Some person* have expreeeed thebelief that our water supply 1* do-creasing. Their opinion i* based upon such facts as were revealed in Ont­ario surveys a few years ago. With­in the last 100 years between 80 and85 per cent of once permanently flow­ ing streams have become temporary,drying up for at least part of a nor­mal summer. But our earth’s water resource ispermanent and indestructible; it isthe amount available at a place or a time that is changing. Demand isrising in response to populationgrowth, industrial progress, and ris­ ing standard of living. Such develop­ments as air conditioning and thespread of rural electrification creategreat new needs for water.These kre legitimate changes. E. Newton-White expresses the opinionin hi* text-book Canadian Restorationthat they could have been affected without damage or loss, if made wis­ely and carefully. But by removingnatural barriers we have speeded the water movement so that it does notreach the ground water reservoir.Water runs so fast across our land that it picks up soil and carries itaway out of economic reach.So, in spite of the fact that Can­ ada is richly endowed with water re­sources, we have no room for com­placency. We have 228,307 square miles of fresh water within our boun­daries. Lake Superior, forming partof our southern border, is the larg­ est body of fresh water in the world.We have great rivers. The Mackenzie,our longest, reaches 2,614 mi)eB from Great Slave Lake to the Arctic Ocean;the St. Lawrence and the GreatLakes provide a shipping waterway 2,338 miles long from the Strait ofBelle Isle to the head of Lake Sup­erior, the heart of the Continent Our sea-coast is one of the longest of anyin the world, with 14,820 miles ofmainland sea frontage and 34,660miles of Island frontage. Enough, one might think, to mini­ster to all human needs. Enough to give us the moisture that dissolvesthe oxygen we breathe, to liquefy thefood we eat *o that it can be digested, enough to supply our health and in­dustrial needs.But lode at the demands made upon many more noun oi »p«re »».<= «i... it Three hundreds ton* of rainfall I day, she is planning full-scale work-properly used are required to grow ’ - •- *------’■*■------* —one ton of corn, and it requires 700gallons a day to supply the demandsof every person for food and theother necessities and amenities. To bring all the needed water tocities is a tremendous undertaking.Ancient Rome had eleven aqueducts bringing a daily supply of 40 milliongallons to its one million people. Thatwas the same average per day as in Montreal in 1869, but today’s watersupply for Montreal averages 120gallons per person per day, just about the same as Toronto’s, NewYork needs 1.2 billion gallons a day.(Royal Bank Bulletin) Only one appeal is made each yearby the Ontario Society for Crippled Children.

For 12 year the Cummingswere Salford residents while Rev. Cumming was minister of the Sal­ford and West Oxford Churches. During that time people of the dis­trict became familiar with Mrs.Cumming’s beautiful .work. It wasduring this time too, that she wascommissioned to do the painting ofLady Tweedsmuir. At the HobbyFair at the Community Centre in 1947, her exhibit of miniatures at­tracted much attention.Miss Mary Cumming too, took part in local “art circles", teachingone of the library art classes andlater having an exhibit of her, workthere. The Cummings moved to Lucanin July, 1948. Ever since she was eight yearsold, Kate Taylor Cumming, wife ofRev. R B. Cumming of Lucan Uni­ ted Church, has wanted to paintminiatures. She has done dozens ofthem, but now that her family is grown up and she can count onmany more hours of spare time each tag’on her favorite”art medium. An exhibit of Mrs. Cummings'work is on view in the entrance hall to the' London Public Library. Itshows the portraits on ivory, flowerstudies on parchment and a picture in oils. It is her first in this city ina half-dozen years. Visits to the Detroit Art Gallerywhen she was a little girl beganMrs. Cumming’s interest in minia­ tures. And to satisfy her desire shewas given a small piece of ivoryand so her painting began. Herbrother was the subject and he was“wiped off” one side of the ivoryblock because it was the .wrong side. But he did get put on the other sideby his young sister, after a fewyears of painting. Various Mediums Kate Taylor w-ent to the Ontario College of Art, learned to work invarious mediums and she still paints in oils as well as water colors eventhough the latter are used exclus­ively by her for the miniatures. She always was careful about drawing. Her father, the late Wil­liam Taylor, was a mathematician and "I guess I inherited his likingfor everything being exactly right,"she explained to The Free Press. Emphasis on exactness is a neces­sary attribute for a miniature-pain­ter and never has Mrs. Cummingfound her work tedious or too exact­ ing. She uses extremely fine brushesand when the paint is done to“stick” it must be mixed withspecially prepared water solution. . The ivory in itself lends a par­ticular quality to the painting, the artist said. This is why it charmsartists. It is purchased by the pain­ter ready for immediate use, with­out any preliminary processing. Allthe drawing must be done with thepaint brush; pencil-sketching cannot be used. However, a wrong brushmark can be removed. Mrs. Cumming sometimes makes a larger sketch on paper to help herwhen “transferring” a face to ivory.But she prefers many sittings and painting directly on the ivory. When Mrs. Cumming was com­ missioned to paint Lady Tweedsmuirshe made sketches, for she was al­lowed only eight sittings during two different visits to Ottawa.Her own children, however, usu­ally have had to just “sit” while mother worked. Mrs. Cumming hasstudies of her daughters, Mary andNancy and her son, David. Mary is a graduate of the Ontario Collegeof Art and is preparing for an exhi­bit of her own work. David is a graduate of the ^University ofWestern Ontario. Flowers are painted . from life, done on parchment which now isdifficult to import from England.Most of the studies are about the size of a large thumb, yet everydetail of flower-petal and leaf mustbe shown. The study as a whole must be exquisite in detail, yet a“picture” of lovely composition.The work would seem difficult to the picture-gazer. But Kate TaylorCumming doesn't even call it'“work.” If a person can paint and really likes to paint, he will findnothing but joy in doing miniatures.He may take months to finish even one; seven miniatures a year area large number for any artist. ButMrs. Cumming insists he won’t be bored.“There’s nothing I’d rather do,”she concluded. Harry Ellery Wins T. Eaton Special For Best Bushel Harry Ellery, of Mount Elgin, won the T.

Scarcity of drink­able or otherwise usable water i*fast becoming the limiting factor in the expansion of agriculture andindustry and the growth of communi­tie*. Many a city and town that onlya few year* ago had adequate res­ ervoir capacity is finding that an un­expected increase in population taxesit* water supply. The farmer find* that he must dig deeper wells. Insome places, where water is drawnfrom artificial reservoirs, silt is be­ ing carried from eroded watershedsto fill up the storage capacity.But we are very trustful. It is difficult to awaken interest in waterconservation. We are, on the whole,much like the mouse in Gustav Eck­ stein’s popular book Everyday Mir­acle. This mouse would lean outunder a water tap that was shut off, I and return again and again, confi­dent that sooner or later someone 1would turn on the tap and let a drop! fall. Dr. Eckstein doesn’t say it was!the same mouse, but one mouse did!come finally to drinking ink. New York’s plight of recent mon-!th* is noteworthy only because it is;on such a large scale. Many othercities suffer in a degree only lessbecause of their relative size. IAround Baltimore the undergroundwater level has fallen so low that a well must be drilled 146 feet deeperthan in 1916. William Vogt, of Road to Survival fume, says “one of the'most asinine wastes in history was in P01 California’s Santa Clara Valley.’’Artesian resources were tapped fon wa iirigation, nothing was done to pre-!'"«serve the source of the water, and ...after about 38 years the water gave out.

Control and conservation of the ‘••' water resources of our western plains-‘-the breadbasket of the world, asi we are fond of calling them—begins on the slopes of the rockies.

The plan we have in mind is nature’s way. d’l The most damaging impact of civi- rnan on h,s environment is the a,.ii shattering of the water cj^Ie- in thewilderness of Canada, before theCUII11II|^ <JA LHv reJJlLV lllnllg Lllvst- 'built up a mutual society of balance; among the waters, soils, grasses, for-!ests and all animal life.How it operated is well told in Canadian Restoration by Mr. New­ton-White; To this society each mem­ber contributed its powers of control-h ..•• and protection, and was in turn it- < nfn<» in»z» fhoir nnmna di,) controlled and protected.

In thinking about soil conser­vation, let us start with the elementwhich is the greatest friend or mostruthless foe of soil formation: water.And in thinking about water, let usstart not nt the top or at the river-1 . mouth, but away back where the flowbegins, on the mountain tops and the i hillsides. forests and swamp lund are unfit ifor permanent settlement. Even pas-;sing floods make life miserable for. many cities and farm districts. IIn recent floods, such as those in'1936 and 1937 at Port Hope, in 1937' at London, the 1946 overflow of theSouth Sydenham and other streams,and especially the 1947 floods in southwestern Ontario, there was con­siderable damage, besides hardshipand interruption of communication. In parts of the United States, nat­ure’s balance has been upset all the way from mountain top to valleyfloor, and the loss through flood andsedimentation averages $300 milliona year. Soil-depleting farm practices,the irresponsible cutting of trees,and general laxity in preventing ero-, sion have contributed to flooding. 1 Even where there is abundantwater, and not too much, men seem1 to be perversely determined to ruinit. They saturate it with millions oftens, of filthy waste. Our coasts and our rivers are dotted with the rotting ■bath houses and bathing enclosuresof once-beautiful beaches, where the signs read: “No swimming. Pollutedwater."Safe water “in the raw” is avail­ able on a-relativelytsmall portion ofour 3,690,000 square miles, mostly inthe high plateaus and mountain ranges beyond the reach of settle­ment. Only there, where the waterhas been filtered in its passage thr­ ough layers of virgin soil, or washeddown from a melting snowbank orglacier, can a person feel quite safein drinking from a spring, pool, lake or stream.The harmful effect of pollutedwater fall into three broad categor­ ies: dangers to human health, dir­ect economic losses, and damage torecreational resources. The most im­ portant impurity, of course, is thepresence of bacteria.This is a national problem, vary­ ing in importance by river basins andby localities. In some drainage bas­ins, municipal sewage contributesmost to the impurity of the water, while elsewhere the damage is doneby mining and industrial operations.Obviously, it wil Inot do to stand idly by while mountains of germ-rid­den garbage are dumped into ourwaterways. Not only we, but game and fish suffer. Even irrigation waterdrawn from polluted streams maycarry lethal germs to vegetable pro- dijgp and spread disease. Our Obligation! It must be obviou* by this time that natural laws impose limitationsand obligations upon us. Whether itis convenient or not, whether it ispolitically expedient or not, water is going to run downhill and its des-hictive force is going to increasewith the rate of runoff; water is going to become impure if we pour im­purities into it; water table* are go­ing to sink if we pump water out ofthem and turn aside the replenish­ ment that i* their due.Even if nature were benevolentinstead of rigidly and logically im­ partial, she could not restore the lostsoil short of that infinitely slow pro-” b* by which soil was formed in the first place from the foundation rocks Sale of HOME BAKING and APRONS FRI., MAR 24,2 p.m. Auspices Group 4 St. Paul’s Ladies Aid Nichol*, Wood.toek, $5.00 each.Mr*.

Each year when March comesalong, and the days begin tolengthen, most of us begin to look ahead for Spring, end the return ofthe birds, and it may come as quit*• surprise to many, that the first spring migrants are already here,having returned nearly a monthpast..The average returning date for the Horned Larks, is about Febru­ary 11th, but some years they areconsiderably earlier than that, and this as one of those years.The first report of these birds forthe t-eason, was given me by lk»n Bucknell, the date, Saturday, Jan,28th, and shortly afterwards a flockof approximately one thousand birds was recorded at Hamilton.The Horned Lark is an extremelyhardy bird, and where food is avail­able, quite able to look after itself in mostly any kind of weather.They are birds of the fields findopen spaces and so, have become residents of the inland parts ofOntario, only since the land hasbeen cleared from forest. Beforethat time, they were birds of the shores of ocean and lake, and thebarren lands. Their food consists al­ most entirely of the seeds of weedsand other.such wild plants, and so.they are one of the farmers' bestfriends. During the recent week-end, wewere out to renew our acquaint­ance with our early spring friends and found them in small Docks, fly­ing about over nearly every field, often in the company of our most hardy winter visitor* from theeircumpoiar regions to th* north, the snow buntings.Ths larks do not return to ourpart of Ontario just for th* sak* ofpaying u« a visit, bat for their rqain purpose in life, th* building of anest and th* rearing of a familyand they ar* soon on th* job. Nests with young hav* been recorded Inthis part of Ontario during th* lat­ter part of March and in th* reportof "The Bird* of Middlesex County" the late Dr. W. E. Sanders reportedhaving found a brood of young thathad left the nest and were able to fly on April 25th, 1900.Probably th* reason that theHorned Larks are not better known, is the fact that they are neitherconspicuous in color or song. When not in flight, they stay almost en­tirely on the ground, (I have nevbrseen one on anything higher than a fence post), and they are almostidentical in color to the ground upon which they rest.Their song,- although it is pleas­ant and interesting, is very high inpitch, and usually the most of their singing is done in th* early morninghours when we lazy people are not out to hear them.During the mating season, themale birds often put on quite a demonstration of flight song. At this time they will spiral up \ito thesky, often higher than the unaided human eye can follow, singing asthey go, and will hover on fastbeating wings still singing for sev­eral minutes, then close their wings and drop in a direct fall to within afew miles from the ground, check the fall abruptly with their wings,and alight very lightly and grace­fully near their mat*.They get their name, "Horned" Lark from two' small black crestson each side of the top of the headwhich they can raise or lower at will.

The Mixing Bowl Hello homemakers! To iron or not to iron? The answer to this questionis answered by either personal tastefor neatness or the amount of time and strength the homemaker has todevote to ironing. Starched clothingand wearing apparel are usually fin­ ished carefully while everyday thingssuch as towels are done more casual­ly. Table linens and other fine house­ hold linen* are almost universallyironed but bed linens may be ironedor the folded sheet may be pressed on top. Turkish towels, diapers andflanelette sheets are generally be­lieved to be more absorbent or warm if not ironed. jWe believe certain articles aredamaged by regular ironing—elasti- j cized portions of garments, fabrics waterproofed with waxes, rubber or 1 other coatings which melt easily. 1 Some of the synthetics are ruined 4 by high temperatures. Then, too, pile- 4 fabrics, such a* corduroys and chen- 1 ille* mat under pressure. Be careful 4 how you iron delicate fabrics such 4 as veilings, laces and loosely woven 4 material* decorated with beads or ac- ’ cessories—a firm pressing cloth isadvised on these fabrics. All bias-cut 1 garments should be ironed on the 4 grain of the fabric rather than fromneck to hem, or sagging may result. 1 Never pull sheer organdies or the ’more fragile rayons against the wei- Jght of the iron because the result will be fraying at the seams. 1 Read the labels to be sure that 'specially treated fabrics should be ' ironed. Mercerized, Sanforized and 'Permanently stiffened garments can ]be ir/ied. However, Glazed chintz (and Moisture-proof garments are not ,always recommended for ironing.The finish depend^ upon both taste 1 and fabric requirements. A dull fin­ish is obtained by ironing on its wrong side: dark colored cottons or ‘ linens, rayons, satins, crepes and em- 'broidered pieces. A glossy finish isachieved by ironing on the right side;white and light colored linens, cottons ' and washable glazed chintz. Damask ' cloths may be ironed on both sidesfor a professional look.The best results in ironing are guaranteed by even dampness, the J safe temperature,, the motion without :drag, and the light pressure of the iron. Points to remember are: '1. Use warm water to sprinkle :clothes as it saturates fibres more evenly. Fold garments carefully, withhems and other double thickness parts turned inside and roll up tightly,using kneading pressure as you roll.Cover rolled items with heavy towel and let it stand at least an hour, if you can, but keep them in a coolplace to prevent mildew. 2. The temperature of the iron ismost important It should be control­led, as too little show8 up the pro­ cess and of course too much damagesthe fabric and produces shine orscorch. 3. Lost motion causeB fatigue, espe­cially in hand ironing. Homemakersshould not tolerate a wobbly board, a wobbly iron handle_,or a surfacethat is not padded well. Iron with thegrain of the fabric since ironing in opposition to that natural directionproduces t£e same effect as rubbingfur the wrong way even though it may not be noticed for the first two or three ironings.4. Through force of habit manywomen "bear down” on the handle of lightweight irons, exerting needlesspressure x/td con^vqucntiy ^xc-rtingneedless energy. The even handling of tin- iron as it is placed on and liftedoff the fabric i8 most important.Other points should be considered important: a dean, well-fitted iron­ing board cover, a chlorine bleach incase of scorch, a bowl al water and sponge for re-damping dried spots,clean wrapping paper <m the flour, an drying rack and a few clothes han- board so that you get the maxi­mum ironing surface and save ironine in the wrinkles. 7. On wide articles «uch as a taWe.cloth, fold lengthwise and iron one side. Then fold double andiron one side. Then fold doubleand iron unoer surface. Keen nn folding and ironing until the. nieeeia finished. Fold from hem to hem occasionally, instead of leng­thwise. Creasing in the sameplace tends to increase wear at that point Linens are brittle en­ough to break if ironed when dryin the same folds. Material Things Do Not Last Deep within us lies a desire which we have every right to fulfill. Amer­ica names it the "pursuit of happin­ess.” We want to be happy. All a- round us, men are busy in search ofanswers to the fundamental problemsof life. Yet, despite the multiplicity of political, scientific, and socialideas, many are at a loss as to the“whence and whither” of life. "What are we here for?” This is an insup­erable difficulty for them.Some, afraid to abandon their easy ways, offer solutions which in reality answer the problems of life by avoid­ing them. But honest Americans areturning in the right direction. Find­ ing that their desire for happinesscan be filled only in God, they seekHim in religion. To illustrate, we might cite the best-seller lists. Forover a year, religious books such as“The Seven Storey Mountain”, and "Peace of Soul”, and “The GreatestStory Ever Told”, have acquired nat­ionwide popularity. In God, the Boundless Truth, ourminds, which naturally seek truth,find complete satisfaction. No branch of earthly science can fully satisfy us. Religion is in utmost harmonywith our intellectual aspirationssince it answers our questions con­ cerning life, God, and happiness. Infact, religion alone leads us to the fullsatisfaction of these aspirations. Men who lose themselves in the love-of material or purely human thingsfind that these things do not last forever. Here again, religion fillsour inmost desire to love intensely,permanently, according to our highest ideals. God, the Boundless Good, fills YOU CAN GET HQOO OIOW RATE INSURANCE PROTECTION DISMEMBERMENT BENEFITS nqdafau this pohoy. It will fadrawt you. __ C o n fe d e ra tio n L ife ....

Mr. David Holmes, the collegiate physical train­ing teacher, helped out with the dir­ection.

Firemen, unable to save the blazing church, push against he rear wall as the fire dies down. wall had not followed the rest of the building in a smouldering pile in thechurch's cellar. Firemen thought it a hazard and pushed it in. A forecast that Thamesford'a taxrate will jump almost a third thiayear to 16 mills, was made by theBoard of Trustees* Clerk, J. H.Clark, this week. The village board will meet either March 27th or April3rd to set the tax rate."The taxps will have to go up,” explained Mr. Clark, *‘we have spent$900 over our estimates last year.”The present mill rate for the vil­ lage is 12 mills and 11 mills onproperty not subject to local im­provements. The jump forecast by the clerk would add 4 mills on boththese tax rates this year. Threequarters of the village is in EastMissouri Township and their assess­ment thopgh not yet received, isexpected to be approximately$160,000. The assessment figure al­ ready in from North Oxford is$61,650.“This past year we did a patching job on George St., to the station,”he added, “and until the snow clearswe will not know how it has stood up. It is likely that we ,will haveto resurface the street.” Thamesford Men See Log Sawing March IB, five employees of Wal­lace Bros. Lumber Yard, attended alog-sawing contest, at Newbury. Vic Wallace, manager; Harry Cole,Jack Reith, Albert Vandenberghe,and Joe Beattie, were on hand when the sawing started at 9 p.m. Thissport calls for hardened musclesand good wind, and the cheering crowd, and comparing of stop wat­ches, added to the tension and ex­citement of the evening.The contestants use cross cut saws, 2 cut and drag type, and muchdepends on the filing of the saws.There were several Indian con­testants, and they are in their ele­ment, and display the grace of body and litheness that goes withgood athletics. Though the winnerswere in the white man’s class. The winning pair cut off a 14%inch white beech log, in 18 seconds, the second cut on the other end of the log in 18 and 3*5 seconds, tomake a total time for the 2 cuts of 35 and 3-5 seconds. The Thamesford group were all tenderfeet, except Jack Reith, andhe in reminiscing, told of being acontestant at London, about 45 years ago, when he and his partner,cut off a 32-inch white maple log in60 seconds flat, they placed fifthand the winners made the cut in 58and 5-8 seconds. This would show the small distance of time betweenthe winners and the runners up.Jack is a saw filer of nterit, and he was inspecting the saws used,and discussing the meritr of toothpointing, etc. Offering a word of advice on filing and tooth shaping,after the contest. The contest was under the spon­sorship of No. 7 school section, ofMosa Township, in (Middlesex,' andproceeds were to go to the march of dimes, this in itself made every­one happy to part with the price of admission.

More adequate fire protection forThamesford is being called for at apublic meeting to be held in theContinuation School, to-morrow, (Friday) night, called by the trus­tees of the village. In the after­noon a Woodstock fire truck willbe demonstrated at the main water tank and by the river, and there isa possibility it may be purchased byThamesford.After Sunday morning's disas­trous blaze, which reduced the 80year old Thamesford Baptist Church to a charred heap of rubble, resi­dents were hit with the urgency ofthe need for proper fire protectionfor their village. The only equip­ ment available to combat flames inthe community are 24 chemical ex­tinguishers—many of them priv­ately owned. Four men, Percy El- gie, G. Hogg, J. Wallace, J. McMurraygot together and looked around,lighting on a specially-equipped* jeep,at present owned by a London financecompany, and then a real fire truck.Cost of the Jeep is in the close neighborhood of $6,100, but villageclerk J. H. Clark thinks it may bemade available to the trustees for around $3,700—or little more thanhalf that sum. It is fitted with hosesand a pumper and fitted with addit­ional lengths of hose; should be suf- ■icient to control any fire outbreakuntil the arrival of bigger equip­ment.It was going to be demonstrated here, but then the truck was foundin Woodstock. It was considered pro­bably more suitable, and being gov­ ernment approved, would bring gov­ernment monetary assistance.Feelings of business-men in the village were voiced by one of themthis week. “What would happen,”he asked, “if we had a fire along Mrs. Kate Tuff in Dies in London In 98th Year A grand old lady, Mrs. Kate Tuf­fin died in Victoria hospital March18th in her 98th year.

The fire, blamed on overheating, had gotso far underway, however, thatlittle could be done by the volun­ teers and it was little more than ashell ^when the fire departmentarrived*.Loss was estimated at $15,000.

Unlike most plans for employees, the "Rucker Snare of Production”Plan is baaed on 18 years of researchin industrial economics and has been thoroughly tested over a decade ofpractical operation.

Despite the fact that the intensive and maintained campaign for safety by the Department received generous support and co-operationof the press, the radio, the schools, the police, many service duns, safety organizations, the operators and driven of commercial vehicles and many thousands of citizens, thetoll of tragedy reached an all-time high.

There will be moretourist vehicles in the Province than ever before. Traffic will bemuch heavier, and more dunces of accidents will exist.

With these facts in view, it behooves every man and woman, young and old, to makeit a personal objective to establish and maintain safety, and to preach it at all times to schools, families, driven and acquaintances. The Department of Highways is devoting all its energies to a continuous planned attack on accidents. The earnest teamwork of all citizens and organizations if retquested.

Privately-O w ned Forest Land Is Cinderella of O ntario Poor Cinderella was neglected,i miserable, poorly clothed, despised and maltreated; she was left to sleepin the ashes and suffer burns fromhot cinders—hence her name. Al­ though no one paid her any atten­tion, she had wonderful possibilities,’ as the Prince realized after the Fairy Godmother had supplied thebeauty treatment she required,complete with high-heeled glass slippers and silken gown with but­tons and bows.The Cinderella of Ontario is theprivately owned forest land, whetherit be classed as woodland, slash, swamp or simply waste. This landis not appreciated for its virtues; itI is not being tended; it is clothed with poor trees; it is despised, ig­nored and maltreated by the major­ity; and tyo often, it is left to lie in cinders.These lands could be a greatsource of future wealth.

People drive through the great play­grounds for fishermen and hunterslying to the south of the fire district and wonder, why fires are allowedto run unchecked—“Lands and For­ests should put out these fires”, they say, not realizing that thisland lies outside the fire district and that the department has no author­ity to fight fires in such places.All the factors which have worked to destroy the productive value offorest lands should be tackled, but president, took charge.of the businesspart.

The cities suffer from floodsand a scanty rural population; the land owners obtain poor financialreturns; the sportsmen and tourists lack fish and game, and everyonemay suffer from lack of hydro power.Twenty per cent of the land insome of our good counties is offic­ ially classed as “waste”, swamp orslash. “Unimproved land"—thut is privately owned land which has notbeen cleared-makes up ten per centof some counties such as Kent, up to sixty-five per cent of others likeLanark and seventy-five per cent ofa few such as Hastings. Although a small proportion of this land is goodforest, the great majority of it is poorly stocked or waste land, worthlittle to the owners or to thecountry.The poor condition of privately owned forest land in Southern On­tario should concern all thinking citizens. 'Everyone knows the causes be desirable to forbid starting fireswhich are likely to cause damage. This will be considered by many tobe an infringement on personalliberty, but a great many landown­ ers feel that this curtailment offreedom is reasonable, and point tothe fact that such regulation is accepted gracefully by everyone inthe fire district, where it applies.After a fire law is passed, it must be publicized, and the public mustbe trained to co-operate in fire pre­ vention. There is a great deal ofwork for any group willing to tacklethe problem. Perhaps people in theseplaces will take up collections to aid us when we have our great firecatastrophe in Southern Ontario, but it would seem wiser for us toavoid the need for help.Fire “happened” in Maine in 1947, in conditions similar to oursat present, when 15 persons were killed and property damage amount­ed to hundreds of millions of dol­lars, It can happen here, and might have happened in 1949 had a strongwind fanned our many fires.

XFor forest Rte administration purposes, the area of Ontario isdivided into two great sections—the —1.--------------------VFire District, and the part south and' ‘he Pnvate wood­east of the Fire District. The line: *“"ds their present ashcan con-ofShe division, accurately described! pnde country, in two pages of the Forest Fires “a ,‘he fairy godmother changed Prevention Act, runs in a great arc’ c maereiia. from Arnprior to the south-eastern end of Georgian Bay, sweepingsouth to within ten or fifteen milesof No. 7 Highway, and excluding’ the settled townships. North of thisline is the Fire District in which the Act is law. In this area all firesmust be fought by the Department, which has organized men and equip­ment for the purpose; no one maystart fires without permission; and everyone is impressed with the needfor care.In Southern Ontario, which lies outside, or south of the Fire Dis­trict, no general fire law prevails.The land is mostly privately ownedand is organized into municipalities(townships). If a fire occurs outside the Fire District, the Departmentof Lands and Forests has no legal right nor responsibility to fight it,for fire fighting is a municipal mat­ter in such locations. Control of fire rests entirely inthe hands .of the municipalities, i.e.the townships, and hnly they may pass laws setting up fire protectiveorganizations. This fact is not known by those citizens who blamethe government for inaction. Muni­cipal councils know that' they may take action, but they cannot actwithout the backing of public opin­ion in their area. People will not sanction laws unless they see thereason for them, particularly if money is involved.Some one must explain the situ­ation to the people of Ontario. This would be a fine project fora service club or any person whowants to render a real service to the country. The first step might beto find out approximately what dam­age had been done by fire in tilelocality—the number of fires, the area burned and so on. Such firesare’not reported in the newspaper*,and no record of them is kept, as no one is responsible for them.Consequently, the informationcould only be obtained by a great deal of effort.
