Cut Forest Waste
THAT THE FORESTS of Canada will al-
ways be the pace-maker of national prosperity
was pointed out in a public message by John
Bassett, publisher of the Montreal Gazette,
and a former president of the Canadian For-
estry Association.
"Forest industry, now the largest employer
of labor and the chief pillar of our trade with
the United States should be maintained perm-
anently in that •position through zealous hus-
banding of the forest resources", Mr. Basset
said.
"In a real sense, the continuity of Canada's
forest treasure is an automatic governor of all
industrial development. No 'dramatic expan-
sion of oil wells or base metals can compen-
sate for depletion of the country's woodlands.
It seems, therefore, a grim reflection upon
Canadian shrewdness that we should tolerate
8,500 annual forest fires set wholly by human
negligence; Authorities claim that this na-
tion pays a yearly penalty of two million acres
of devastated countryside, and 400,000 acres of
young forest growth, This surely is contrary
to what most• Canadians would prescribe for
their richest national heritage, next to agri-
culture, but it goes on from year to year. Some
means must be found, and that shortly, where-
by the woodland endowment is rescued from
fire waste and turned to full account for the*
upkeep of industry and employment."
We Dwell In Fertile Fields
(Wingham Advance Times)
AT PRESENT there is a good 'deal of
pessimistic talk from the farming people to
the effect that the rains of the past week have
come too late. Many contend that the grain
is already too far gone to be saved by the
rains of the past week and that things are
looking very very bad.
'Not being a farmer, we won't argue the
point—but the entire trend of conversation is
a reminder that we are very lucky people.
Every one of us knows that there is virtually
no danger of a crop failure. When, we say
things look bad we really mean they won't be
quite up to the usual full-measure standards
to which we have become accustomed. In fact
our fields, are so rewarding that we have com-
pletely forgotten that there are many places in
the world where absence of rain -at the proper
time means death for millions by starvation.
Only two years ago the people of India died
like flies because there was a prolonged dry
spell.
Let us take nothing for granted. Just pre-
cisely why we merit the favored position 'we
occupy in a land which iS truly "flowing with
milk and honey", we cannot tell. Certainly
we are no better than the other struggling
folk over this globe. We have, indeed, a great
deal to be thankful for—and we should remem-
ber it on our knees.
Someone turned on the foun-
tain last week. You know, the
pretty fountain . with the water-
fowl at, the top, on the Library
Park? ft, was erected originally
in memory of one, Sidney H.
Smith, in the year something or
other, and it works apparently,
quite well.
But it didn't get turned on
in July when it was hot, It
was turned on the first week
of .August when the weather
was just a bit on the cool side.
And the reason, we think,
that the fonntain isn't left
turned on, is because the
drain away from it doesn't
work. And the reason the
a copy of newspaper promising
drastic reductions, in fen-point,
several rocks, gum wrappers,
cigarette cartons of various
brands, apple cores and the tops
off walk-away , sundae boxes, all
hobnob ' together in disconsolate
misery.
We think, if we, could but
just see it through all the
debris, that the basin is con-
. crete, in which case it could
be painted the same clear
blue which makes the wading
pool so beautiful at Clinton
Community Park. That bit
of water, by the way, has
been in constant use by Clin-
ton's small fry throughout the
summer, and gives the- ap-
pearance of a lakeshore, with
all its coolness. But to re-
turn to the Library Park
fountain--it is possible that a
few gold fish and an aquatic
plant or two would enjoy liv-
ing there. But they would
probably pine away in shame
from having to look all day
at the ragged fringe on the
edge of the Union Jack which
flutters so gaily on the pole
beside the park.
It is a gay flag, and it definit-
ely gives us 'a lift as we hurry
about on daily tasks. Much as
we appreciate and urge Canad-
ians toward pride of our country
and individualism among nations,
it is doubted whether a Canadian
flag can be devised which would
give the lift to the spirits that
the traditional Union Jack does.
It would take years of accustom-
ing oneself, or else the force of
an all-out publicity on the movie
screen, by television, by, news-
paper and magazine to raise the
same appreciation of a new flag.
My goodness that's a lot of
High falutin' language for a
mouse, isn't it? Well, neverthe-
less, we do glean a bit from the
dusty files and from sorties
through the wastebasket.
