Early broadcasts on this topic gave me the impression that Bob was plugging for the Scheme slightly. After a bombardment from its opponents, he seemed to take a more cautious perch on the fence and let the advocates of each side blast away. That was good for the community; hence, good radio. -0- WORST NIGHTMARE for an announcer is the loss of his voice.

The Oeterie Division of the Society has pledged itself to raise 8590,000 as its quota of this amount. The contributions will go towards support of cancer research throughout Canada; organ- ization of lay education with the prime mes- sage that the best hope for effective treatment lies in early diagnosis and adequate treatment; and the support of a welfare program to help cancer patients and their families where such help is not otherwise provided. As a result of the Society's endeavors, and with the aid and encouragement of the public, no less than $960,000 has been invested in. can-. cer research and in training fellowships to physicians and physicists in the past four years, Many of these projects are located in Ontario, It is worth noting that matters relating PM* TWO (A CWNA AMONG BIRDS the male of the species is usually the glamour boy adorned with plum- age far more brightly. hued than the more sober-toned female. Once this was the case with humans too. Until England's civil war when King Charles I was beheaded, men wore clothes that had the rainbow faded. Cromwell and his Puritan friends made it unlawful for men to wear colors other than black and dark brown. Through the centuries since, men have never succeeded in throwing off the influence of the • solemn-minded Puritans and so have cheer- fully worn drab-colored clothes. Of late years there seems to have been something of a revolt. The war, when so many men of the country were. for years garb- ed in khaki, blue or grey, may be partly re- sponsible. Anyway ties and socks have been getting brighter and bolder; sports clothing (A CWNA THE LADIES, who watch prices more carefully than their husbands, probably are aware that in recent months there was a check in the rising cost of men's suits. Any of the ladies who looked into the matter likely found that part of the reason they could get good clothes at reasonable prices was in the ex- panded use of rayon either alone or blended. with the natural fibres, wool, and cotton. Behind rayon stands the Canadian forests, for this textile material is made from wool (By George The Apossment Act in eePlisift- lag the dutiee of Courts of Re- vision, County and District Jud- ges and the Ontario Municipal Board when determining appeals against assessment states that the assessment of similar property in the vicinity is to be one of the main guides in deciding the actual value. It is also assumed that if in- dustrial ,property or farm Prop- erty is assessed for .80 per cent of its actual value that 'residential and commercial property shall also be assessed at 80 per cent. Decisions have also been giv- en that ip counties where a County Assessor has been ap- pointed that the assessment of property in one municipality may be compared with the assessment of property in another munici- pality of the, same county. How- ever, an assessment in the City Of. Hamilton cannot be compar- ed with one in the City of Galt though the municipalities are fairly adjacent, As explained in an earlier article, where municipalities are joined together for administrat- ive purposes, the county costs are apportioned among the various municipalities on the basis of assessment. Some government grants are also apportioned on the basis of assessment and this particularly applied to education- al grants in all townships and in villages and towns with a popu- lation of less than 2,500. The Provincial Department of Education is naturally desirous of ensuring that school grants are equitably distributed., At the same time, to ensure that a mun- icipality which installs a proper system of values is not discrim- inated against, they have placed in their grant regulations a meth- od to overcome this to some de- gree. Equalization of Assessment We have mentioned above the importance of equalized assess- ment to ensure a fair distribution of shared costs or government grants as between municipalities. A proper system of assessment and equalization is especially het- portant to the local taxpayer, for on the basis of his assessment is determined not only the amount of taxes he pays to maintain county services and schools, but also the services provided by his own municipality. He is, therefore, in the first instance concerned with the assessment of his neighbour or PrOTTON NEWS,REVORD 'PI OF giONT 641101 ,NO ON The Historic of Assessment and. Murampal Taxation in Ontario W• Jams) similar property In the murdei.. pality. The fact that his assess,. ment is $1504 and the tax rate is 60 mills or whether his assess, Mere is $3,000 and the tax rate is 30 mills does not change *the actual tax loilars to be Paid from $90,000, However, he is concern- ed when his assessment is $3,000 and similar value property is only assessed for $2,500, So equalization and proper assessment should make its start in the local municipality before it can be applied as a test against the equalization, and assessment of other municipalities. Assessors Problems While it is,not entirely possible to ensure that taxpayers shall only pay for the actual services they receive from a municipality, still some progress along this line has been made in the past few years. A good assessor never raises the assessment because the ex- terior or interior of a building is well painted or decorated. Neith-, er does he rate the value of build- ings higher because of a good roof or eavetroughing or well kept lawns, flower beds, paved driveways, fences. etc, However, he should not reduce the assess- ment because of the lack of any of these items unless such lack has caused an actual costly phy- sical depreciation. He should keep in mind, how- ever, that badly laid out buildings, lack of natural light and the poor location, etc., of a property will definitely reduce the value. He should not penelize the good citie zen who improves his home by such items as hardwood fooring or mastic tile floors, fireplaces, attached oil burners, panelling, builtaie cupboards, etc. While all of these items are legally as- sessable, yet the• taxpayer whose home has these features does not receive any extra municipal ser- vice because of them and in some instances receives less. Items which are more or less standard as plumbing, electric lighting and hot water or hot air furnaces are assessable and should be included at a fair charge. The elimination of the assessment on items which are more or less frills assists in equalizing not only the assess- ment but also the taxes paid for the municipal services which are available for, our use.

A pail with water in the bottom to , keep the roots moist is the best method of carrying the trees while planting. They may also be carried in a fruit basket, but care should be taken to have the roots covered with moss, earth or a cloth, A crew of two works out very well, one handling the, spade or shovel and the other holding the tree at the proper level in the hole 'until the earth is replaced and packed down firmly with the heel. A small boy or girl can hold the tree. Many coniferous plantations have been established successfully without cultivation. Deciduous plantations should be s cultivated in the early years. However, a light shelter of weeds or grass during the, fall and winter is beneficial. More detailed information about reforesta- tion may be obtained by contacting the local Zone Forester, care of G.

Not so many years ago no man working in a big city office would 'dare appear in anything but a dark blue suit, a white shirt, black tie and probably a bowler. Today anything goes. Mr. Man is even getting bolder in his dress wear, Suits have gone sky blue, bright green, rust, as well as brighter fawns, greys and browns. Certainly the trend in men's clothing is toward bolder, brighter colors, and some day in the not too distant future, man may be the gay bird of the human species. There is little likelihood of men ever returning to the silks and satins and laces of a few centuries ago but today's brighter colors in clothes In- dicate a revolt against drabness, probably an unconscious one. Certainly the movement is in the right direction for anything that adds a note of cheerfulness to the frightened world we live in is not out of place.

The ladies, realizing that our forests are going to be quite important to their future budgets, may be expected to take an. active interest in how our forest resources are em- ployed and administered.

Jackson, Zone Forester, Department of nands and Forests, Owen Sound) THROUGHOUT THE SPRING, thousands ing the trees in the bottom of the furrow or of landowners will be receiving, trees from the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. It is important that the same care which is taken by the Government nurseries to ensure that the small trees reach the applicant in good con- dition, be continued until the plantation is established. The trees should be picked up promptly after they arrive at the express office. Plant- ing should be done as soon as possible but in the meantime steps should be taken to prevent the roots from drying out. This may be accomplished by heeling in the stock in moist soil, immersing in water in. a pail, tub, stream or pond, or placing the shipment in a cool. garage or cellar and pouring water through it. Where planting is to be carried on in sod land, furrows three to four inches deep, six to eight feet apart should ,be ploughed; where a plough cannot be used the sod should be removed in spots twelve to fourteen inches across at six to eight foot intervals.
