IN THE WAR DAYS, a new word was coined — the word — "Expendable." Certain material like ships and even men, had to be sacrificed. It was a bitter thing but it seemed to be a necessary part of war. But in time of peace, it is different. No lives are expendable. The whole concern of man is to see that every possible life is saved. That is why it is a matter of tragic significance, that certain preventable diseases are still taking a heavy toll of our population. Last year more than 3,000 persons in Canada died of tuberculosis, a disease which medical authorities claim, could be wiped out, if all the resources of the community were mobilized against it. Almost one-half of these victims were under 35 years of age. In ad- dition, there were 17,000 people, ill in sanatoria with tuberculosis. Much progress has been made in. combat- ing the disease, but it still constitutes a serious D. J. Lane) threat to our national health. Tuberculosis ranks sixth among the great killer diseases, and it takes the greatest death toll of any con- tagious disease. The lives which fall victim to tuberculosis are not EXPENDABLE. Every effort should be made to conserve them and every effort should be made to support any campaign against this disease. Every year the Tuberculosis Association makes its appeal for funds through the Christ- mas Seal Campaign. This year marks the 26th annual sale in Canada. A special feature Of the campaign is the fact that the money collected is spent locally. Each community benefits, as it contributes. The campaign opens November 17, under the auspices of the Huron County Tuberculosis Association, and the Lions Clubs, The.Clinton chairman is Dr. R. M. Aldis, and the objective is $1,200 at least. The Cutting Of Christmas Trees THE CUTTING of young evergreen trees for sale at Christmas time usually arouses a great deal of controversy. Criticism of this practise comes from those who feel that a great wrong is' committedeach time a young tree is cut for this, purpose. And understanding of why this is done should show that such criticism is unfounded. Scotch Pine is one species used extensively in reforestation work and has become very popular as a Christmas tree. This is a fast growing tree which bears seed prolificly and at an early age. The wood of this species is of low quality, Its best use then, is as a Christmas tree. It grows very well on some of the poorer soils being reforested throughout the Province. If it will grow on such areas and provide a short term crop of Christmas trees it is logical to do so. Planted in pure stands at six to eight foot spacing, the trees develop a good overall form. When Christmas trees are cut from these stands it is recommended that a few of the poorer formed trees be left to grow, serving as seed trees which will restock the area. Scotch Pine have also been used in mixture with other more valuable species such as Red and White Pines and White Spruce. Removal of the Scotch Pine when of Christmas tree size gives the other pines or spruce space for further development. If this cutting is not done all trees suffer and revenue is lost. Reforestation has put thousands of acres of valuable land back into use. Christmas trees can be the first of a series of forest crops to come from this land. Let us try to understand rather than criticize this practise.

It is a decided improvement to the grounds The Canadian postal Depart- ment to push the development of rural mail service have recently been giving Goderich Township their attention. As a result two routes from Goderich and two from. Bayfield have been mapped out. It is the present intention to provide three routes from Clin- ton, One along the 16th conces- sion; along the Maitland to Hol- mesville, tl'i'nce along the Huron Road to Clinton. Another along the Huron Road to a point *near Taylor's Corners and thence along through the central part . of the township and back to Clinton. The third route serves the Bayfield concession as far as Cole's School and the easterly part of the Tele- phone Road. When the routes have been established, the town- ship will be fully equipped so far as rural mail service is concerned, The Bowling Alley has again been opened with Ernie Graham in charge and already many of the fellows fond of that form of exercise have had some good games.
