Retired school principal, James A, Cameron taught a bus.leaci of students in his own "laboratory" laat . Thursday afternoon. The unusual schoolroom was his 21 acre estate on which he started his re.afforestatioa plan in 1931, behind his home, on Highway 21. The students were from Huron Centennial School. Brimfield, came to further their study of Canadian Trees. Mr. Cameron told them many facts of interest about his 60,. 000 trees. He has 21 varieties with a preponderance of Red and White Pine, Spruce, Ash, and a few Maples. The children learned that the most serious pests are rabbits and mice and, in fact, Mr. Cam. eron said that he would have many more Maples but for the depredation by rabbits, The lesson also covered de. termination of the age of trees, by counting whorls, and such other details as the trciubles some "Blister Rust", which attacks White Pines, "Blister Rust" spores, Mr. Cameron explained, do not attack all species of trees; the spores however may be carried 1,000 feet or more and, may grew on Currant Bush leaves, only to return later on the wind, wheres upon the tree is again attacked and gradually eaten away. Mr. Cameron spoke about planting techniques.-spacing of trees, and drew attention to a double windbreak of an outer row of slow growing cedar and an inner row of Norway Spruce which protects his pinery from the north winds. He expressed pride in his fine white pine trees, on which he has been complimented by the Zone Fors estry Officer, and a giant "Pon. derosa" from the mountains of British COlumbia, Ms. Cameron attended the Ontario College of, Education in 1910 and 1911.- he first taught at King Edward School in Toronto and later spent twenty years at Earls Court School where he was principal until his retirement in 1950.

Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers; Next month my husband and I will celebrate our 40th wedding an- niversary. Our three children want to give a party and in- vite 80 friends and relatives. Our marriage has not been a good one. It was more of an endurance test than a marriage. My husband entertained women openly, took them to dinner and the theatre, treated them to trips and even brought one woman home to meet the children when they were in their teens. These past years he has been home a great deal. He tells me he is repentant and thanks me ' for being so understanding. I have kept my thoughts to my- self, but I know he is worn out and not as attractive to women • as he once was. Also, he has had financial reverses and can't spend money as he did in the past. I try to be pleasant but my love for gin died long ago. Does such a marriage call for a celebration? Would I be a hypocrite to allow our children to entertain for our 40th anni- versary? I'll do as you say. - EMPTY LAUGHTER Dear E.L.: It is obvious that your children do not view your marriage as you do . . and it's just as well. Since you have played the role so beautifully all these years one more benefit per- formance won't hurt. * * * Dear Ann Landers: Will you please do me a favour and tell my grandmother to get off my back? She lives in Kalamazoo and is all the time cutting out your columns and sending them for me to see. To begin with, I have told her a dozen times we get your column in the Chicago Sun Times. I can read it here if I Want to. Whenever Grandma sends one of your crummy columns she always attaches a note, "Make sure Albert reads this." It burns me up. I get overly bugged when she sends columns about teen-agers who smoke marijuana or take LSD or get into car accidents because of drunken driving. I don't do any of these things and I don't plan to. Please help me with this problem seeing as how you caused it. - A SOMETIME READER Dear Reader (Sometime, that is); try. Notice to ail grand- mothers in Kalamazoo who send Ann Landers' columns to Chicago: Stop it, please. The kid doesn't want 'em. Thanks a lot, * * Dear Ann Landers: The more I read your column the more sure I am that the women in this country are having a mass nervous breakdown. A wife in Kansas City can't stand her husband because he squeezes the toothpaste tube in the middle. A woman in Los Angeles doesn't see why she has to iron her husband's shorts if nobody sees 'em but her. A loon in Louisville won't let her husband smoke cigars in the house. Another crazy dame wants to strap a bicycle horn on her husband's head at night so it will wake him up when he snores. And bow about that nut in Wichita who wanted to know what to wear to her hus- band's funeral - and he wasn't even dead yet? Can you remember a time in our history when women were so nutty? - DIM VIEW Dear Dim.: Men have been complaining about women from the beginning of time, but they continue to marry them, If you can think of a better combina- tion I'll buy it. On May 11, 1968 Luey received a telephone call from a friend describing the OXFAM:March from qederiSia "There are hundreds of theni. Quite a Geletwful array with their different individual costumes and isitsi; They've walked all the way from Qoderieli -- of course they bad cheek points every three miles and, liquid refreshmeats halfway but the amazing part is that the younger children ran into Jowett's Grove. There they'll have hamburgers, hot dogs and pop. And rest and Some will need attention, from the St. John's Ambulance volunteers." "Yell know," continued the lady, "shoes are not like the ones we wore. They are more like running shoes. Their :ssor little feet must be sere." The march was led by Mrs, William SalloWs, 80 and Mrs. Charles Whitely, 77. They were reluctantly pressared into riding home. The youngest was five-year-old Jane-Ann Bedard. She dropped out at the first cheek-point, Over 300 completed the 25 mile walk, Most left MacKay HaIl at 8 a.m. and the last straggled in at 8;30 p.m. They netted. about $6000 for the Oxford Committee for Fermin; Relief. OXFAM began in 1942 as a small committee in Oxford, Eng- land, pledged to raise funds for starving children in Nazi oc- cupied Greece. Since then it has increased in size•and scope and now co-operates with the United. Nations Food and Agri- culture organization. (Theme of its annual conference is "Free- dom from Hunger") Councillor Harry Baker on behalf of Reeve McFadden and Bayfield council welcomed the visitors and received a letter of greeting from Goderich Mayor Mills. More than 1000 youngsters and sponsors in Chatham did an Oxfam hop which raised over $40,000, The organizers showed their appreciation by holding a dance in Tecumseh Park on the Victoria Day holiday in the afternoon for the participants. Two children well-known here - Cathy aged thirteen and Mary Beth aged nine, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. Pounder, Chatham and grandchildaen of Mr, and Mrs. Lloyd Scotchmer, Bayfield - took part in the walk. They were sponsored by friends along the street and walked with their school chums, Jack Pounder sponsored Mary Beth •for fifty cents a mile and she walked fifteen miles, He also sponsored Cathy at twenty-five cents a mile and she walked 30 miles. The idea of the march to raise funds for Charitable purposes seems to have spread lately, or is it just that it has been brought to Lucy's attention? More than $200 was raised in a walk from London to Wood- stock one Monday by 26 members of Emmanuel Reformed Church Young People's Club, It will be used for the church's building program and overseas relief work. In Petrolia 300 persons walked 14 miles to raise $1000 for the Salvation Red Shield Appeal. And on Saturday, May 18, students and teachers of Seaforth District High School and Councillor Mrs. Nelson Camino raised more than $1000 for an elementary school in Seaforth, Jamaica, by walking 18 miles to Clan Gregor Square, Bayfield. The principal at the Jamaica school reports the school roof leaks, there are few text books available and overcrowding acute. Students at the high school, Seaforth Public School and St. James Separate School had already collected books, writing paper, pencils and other supplies for their Caribbean counter- parts. The personal touch in this latter walk is dominant. It will be • a great joy to the marchers and their sponsors to learn in the future how the school in Jamaica benefits and progresses as a result of their:efforts. All such walks develop perseverenee and fosters a spirit of kindliness and self-sacrifice in the child or teenager. It would be better, perhaps, if more walking were done consistently instead of so much at once. Lucy's father used to declare that walking was the most health-giving exercise. Lucy and her school friends walked about five miles every Sunday afternoon, In those days, walking was the only Sunday sport. As her friend remarked, our shoes were more sturdily built than those of to- day. And the shoes took Lucy back in thought and imagination to pioneer days. The shoes then were made by local shoe makers and were stout. The clothing was not gaily coloured - usually fashioned from homespun made by the local weavers. The walk to Goderich and back to Hayfield or Sauble Line or other lines in Stanley Township was a necessity for the women of the house. And since there was not much money in the country, they carried a pail of butter or other produce to barter for staples not obtainable in closer proximity. And then they carried their purchases home again. And the men carried grain in sacks over their shoulders to me mill and had wheat ground into flour and carried it home, And women of whom Lucy has heard carrying their pails of butter to market in Goderich in the early days were Mrs. Christopher Johnston, her mother Mrs. W. Johnston, and Mrs, George Castle, all of the Sauble Line, There, was no bridge here for a time and naturally they could not cross the ford which went up the hill west of "the hogs back" and joined the old road to Goderich running through Ernie' McGee's bush. So they paid a penny each to a boatman to ferry them across the Hayfield River, Shoes had to be stout in those days for the road to Goderich was just a rough trail hewn out of the bush. And yet Lucy ventures the thought, that the trip to Goderich carried as much pleasure and satisfaction for the walkers in those days who had no money, as the marches of today for which so much money is pledged. Cathy and Mary Beth Pounder are great-great-great grand- children of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Johnston, Sauble Line. , BEAUTIFUL BREEZY By BELLcHAMBER BAirwitir A IV la 41111711.
