We were pleased to see the gracious manner in which the Legion delegates accepted this grant although, without doubt, he must have been dis- appointed, and the other members of the Legion must also have been disappointed with the sum, However, the delegate could see as his comrades can see, that the situation of town finances is acute. As one of the councillors stated that night, th e Legion request was proffered in 'an orderly way; there was no pressure put on. for haste, although the men are anxious to complete their Hall as soon as possible; there was no flat statement of the amount requested; there was a gentlemanly wait of several weeks while the new Council could get straightened around and view the matter at their leisure. We offer the Legion's method of approach as a rather good model for future delegations to bear in mind, big fires break out. Fire-fighting is expensive and adds big sums to the tax burden. More than 85 per cent of all forest fires are caused by the carelessness of people who go into the forest on work or for recreation. It stands to reason, therefore, that there should be 85 per cent less forest fires. ering, he does so from a news point of view. he is there to record what happens, and what is said, with a view to informing the public just what did happen, and just what was said. No reporter worth his salt will knowingly report any item which will cause harm to an individual, nor will he divulge a confidence, unless he deems such reporting to be in the public interest. When statements are made at a public gather- ing, although these remarks are already public property, a good reporter will still refrain from using them if he is asked to do so. We feel, however, that these requests should be made at the time the statements are made, not some time later when the speaker feels he has perhaps been slightly indiscreet and would really rather his neighbour down the street did not have a chance to pin him down on the matter afterward. How terrible, my dear Peter, not to be able to eat when and what ! the Humane Society is in the eit-one wants, as we do: We were ies, speaking for those unable to quite shaken by the plight of these speak for themselves. Why is there no inspection where most gumbo-muck, no straw, no water— and those poor creatures were tied up tight. Never have we seen such misery. Such dejection, no contented cows, What a terrible existence! No warm straw beds no water, and the meals! Just thrown hastily on the much so the owners could set off to town gam- es, and not enough food to go - round. We would like to see such owners thus tethered and forced to spend 24 hours under such con- ditions. The COUNCILLORS that the townspeople of Clinton elected last December, as the men they wished to entrust with the town's busi- ness, certainly appear to be making an honest attempt to cut down on the town's expenses, There are so many absolutely unavoidable town expenses this year, such as the payment of the debentures on both the new Public School, and CDCI, and last year's deficit to be cleared, that the hands of the Councillors are tied rather snugly before they rightly begin. At the regular meeting of Council this week a delegation from the Clinton Branch of the Canadian Legion was received. It was with regret that Council made its offer of a $1,000 grant to the Legion, • especially in the face of • the grant given to the Lions Artificial Ice Fund last year, This grant for the ice fund was responsible for a good bit of the deficit with FOREST FIRES DESTROY the homes of wildlife, pollute rivers and streams and poison the fish. They ruin the source of supply of countless wood using industries, small and large, and jeopardize this country's billion dollar ex- port business in wood products and paper. Extraordinary costs are often incurred when A Visitor's IT IS ALWAYS GOOD for us to receive an opinion about ourselves from someone who knows what he is talking about. This is the view of the Consul of Norway when he discusses our handling of Ontario's Forests: 'Even among very thorough and versatile people in this country I have found one view- point concerning forestry, which I cannot re- frain from mentioning. When I have spoken to them about the conservation of forests, which is a favourite hobby of mine, I have almost in- variably received a reply that "Yes something has to be done about reforestation" or "Well a considerable arnoent of reforestation is done both by the Federal and Provincial Governments". I have then pointed out, as I wish to point out WE ARE PLEASED to note an ever- increasing lot of "Letters to the Editor" and commend our readers for their interest in the work of their newspaper and in the community. Our small friend, Peter, of the Back Shop, was pleased to receive a letter all his own this week, and the editor himself was just as pleased with his letters. We repeat, however, your thoughts do good and are of good only when others hear them. Without the sharing of thoughts they are of no use at all. And to be of the widest possible use thoughts must be printed so that others may read them. If you have criticisms or praise to offer, please do not hesitate to make your thoughts known on paper.

We rejoiced therefore in one neat, tidy, painted barn, full of content, ed cows knee-deep in straw, drink- ing bowls before them, in an at- mosphere of comfort.

Cousin, We have, in the past, read at odd intervals of certain sadistic, so-called farmers being taker' to task for III treatment of their animals. Certainly how- ever, there is no need for this in Huron County. 0 0 83 We sympathize wholeheartedly with the poor animals which our Country Mouse describes. Espec- ially so, when it occurs in our own County. Here, in the garden of Ontario, where the best of agricul- tural land is to be found, and our leaders in Agriculture methods and marketing repeatedly cont- inent on our excellent crops and opportunities, surely there is no eXOUSO, other than laziness, for such sloppy care given to dumb animals, al Q n As a correspondent said in a recent "Letter to the Editor" that "Peter isn't merry, as of old," we roust make haste to refute the statement, Petets does have a good bit of . fun, in. the Beek Shop; the Front Office, and. down the velvet streets of Clinton.But there are some things of which we hear that drive our frivolous thoughts into the background, and we grasp at any oppose, tunity to Advise People of facts as they are, These conditions cited by our Country Cousin are certainly de- Notable, and we sincerely hope that some action is taken by the owners at ende tet AO, that their animals have a better time of it. games committee, the executive, G.

It is naturally of importance to reforestate devastated districts, especially to prevent erosion or the formation of sand dunes, etc., but the most important thing is to save forests which have been maltreated but still are not so far gone that they can be considered beyond help or cure, and also to regulate the lumbering or the cutting of forests in such a manner that the forests instead of getting poor- er and of less and less value, get better and better in spite of lumbering activities, so they finally are like an orchard from which an inter- minable crop can be gathered, at the same time maintaining the productive values of the forests intact."
