Winter sports this year have tak
en on in Canada to a greater extent
than for many yea^s probably due
the fact that we have had plenty
snow and cold weather. People
Toronto have gone each week-end
Midland, Huntsville, Bracebridge, the
Caledonia Hills and numerous other
places over the week-end to enjoy
these winter pastimes. There has
been sufficient snow in Toronto this
year to make Rosedale Ravine, High
Park and many other places become
crowded with young people skiing,
bob-sleigh riding, etc.
Kincardine and Walkerton in this
district have organized skiing clubs
and the same can be said of a great
many others of the smaller towns.
Outside of skating it is surprising-
how few take any part in winter
sports in Canada but during the past
five years, great numbers of people
are becoming winter sport conscious.

SALARIES FOR COUNCILLORS
In smaller towns and municipali
ties there is a strong feeling that
members of the Council should carry
on without any remuneration. Last
year Seaforth passed a by-law pro
viding for salaries for members of
the Council but at the first meeting
of this year’s Council the by-law was
rescinded. Wingham had such a by
law, but it too was short lived, one
year also, if our memory serves us
right.
Townships pay their members of
the Council board a small amount
each year for their services. This am
ount does not by any means pay these
men for the time they spend on mun
icipal business but it helps to defray
expenses that are bound to crop up
for people who hold public office.
There are many who think mem
bers of town councils should receive
some remuneration for the services
they give. We are hielined to agree.

FREE TREES AVAIL
ABLE TO FARMERS
a■ BI
The Ontario Forests Branch is fol
lowing the policy of previous years in
supplying free trees to any farmer
in the Province of Ontario. For
windbreak planting any farmer may
secure up t0 500 trees, and there is
no limit to the ^number of trees which
will be supplied for reforestation pur
poses. The only cost to the farmer
is express charges on the shipment
from the government nursery to his
nearest railway station. .Last spring
farmers of Huron County received a
total of 166,750 trees, and of this
number 110,348 were ordered for re
forestation purposes, and the remain
ing 56,411 trees were for windbreak
planting, The varieties supplied for
windbreaks are White Spruce, Nor
way Spruce and White Cedar, and the
list of trees available for reforestation
purposes includes approximately 18
of pur better known and more valu
able forest trees. The Forests Branch
cannot supply trees for decorative or
ornamental planting about homes,
clubs or other private properties. Ap
plication forms to be used in apply
ing for trees, may be secured by writ
ing to Ian MacLeod, Ontario Dept, of
Agriculture, Clinton, Ont., and all ap
plications must be forwarded to the
Ontario Forests Branch, Parliament
Buildings, Toronto 5, on or before
the first of April.
