In 1928 he married her sister, Miss Annie 'SWEET CAPORAL I EEEW3 WOOD — A SCARCITY To go begging for wood, in a dis trict that two or three generations ago was dense virgin-forest, seems almost unbelievable and yet such was the case this winter with the scar city of coal for heating purposes. Wood is at a premium and only in rare cases obtainable. When the editor’s grandfather, with his trusty axe, blazed a trail through the dense woods from his pioneer farm, a mile east of Exeter, little did he realize that his own grandson would go begging for wood that was a troublesome nuisance for farm purposes. Yet such is the case. To see the community today with its fertile fields, farm homes equip ped with hydro for light and power, improved roads and bridges and with automobiles for transportation and tractors doing the work that so short a time ago was performed by oxen, one can hardly realize that on ly by a blazed trail could the pion eers of this section find their way from a log cabin set in a clearing to a small hamlet where the barest of necessities could be procured. On a farm south of Exeter, (by the way the first farm to be settled in what is now Usborne township), is a piece of rock that for years rest ed on top of the gatepost. It looked as though it might be a meteor, but Mr. Jos. May, descendant of that first settler, tells us in his opinion it dates back to the days when the trees of the forest were felled to make a clearing and were piled to gether in the centre of the clearing and burned. The intense .heat from the fire, he believes, is what melted the stone. But the loss of wood .for .heating purposes is not the only .loss and tree planting for water conservation is being urged today throughout Huron County. The scarcity of wood is not because the community is en?> tirely depleted, far from it, as most farms have a small woodlot, which in their own best interest and interest of the community it is Sirable to conserve.

Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape through? ‘in either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater hardships loom unless you take immediate action. The shortage already has affected many communities . . . total stocks of dry wood are nearly exhausted ... in some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency. Throughout most of Canada, fuel-wood is obtained not far from where it is consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens. The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood-fuel shortage is so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com munities an adequate supply is^not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided to stimulate the output of wood-fuel by assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution. To this end, will be adopted’ the following measures 1 A subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid commercial fuel-wood contracted for and June 30, 1943, and held to dealers’ account on that date. 3 The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel-wood, particul arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary to contract for fuel-wood at locations outside the area from which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from the Coal Controller before contracting for such supplies. 3 The Coal Controller, will repurchase from dealers at dealer’s cost all commercial grades of fuel-wood on which a subsidy of $1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers’ hands as at May 31, 1944. 4 Assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary equipment. 5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily in response to this appeal to engage in fuel-wood Cutting, will be deemed by National Selective Service tc> be carrying out their regular occupation as farmers and will be given all the tights of deferment of military service which such an occupa tion now carries. Such tenlpotary absence should not, however, intetfere with agricultural production. to dealers on all cut on or before Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers, individual citizens, service clubs, and all other groups in communities where Wood-fuel is burned, are urged to begin at once a rapid survey of their Ideal situation, and to take imme diate action to relieve the shortage.
