20b,470 trees planted in Huron' Coun-
tvy-the trees having been supplied' by
y t^rio Forestry Branch, Tor- it<Z *
Stressing the importance of refor-
» estation and speaking of the interest
. it has been creating among the farm-
» ers of this district, Mr. Shearer re
minded the farmers that they have
only until the first of April to make
, application to the Ontario Forestry
Branch, should they be anticipating
any tree planting this season. The ap-
■ plication forms may. be secured from
' the Agricultural Representative’s of-
- fice at Clinton and left there or may
I be forwarded directly to the Ontario
Forestry Branch, Parliament build-
• ings.
The report showed that in Huron
188 residents had planted 164,894
trees for woodlot purposes and 32,-
*036 were planted for windbreak pur
poses. Four rural schools had made
application and planted 365 trees and
.two municipalities had undertaken
•similar projects planting 3,175 trees.
The stock list for 1939 shows the
following trees available for forest
••planting, white pine, red pine, scotch
.pine, European larch, white spruce,
walnut, butternut, elm, white ash, soft
maple, hard maple, red oak, Caroline
poplar cuttings, white willow cuttings,
and among the trees for windbreaks
are, white spruce, Norway spruce and

Farm Home Burned
The home of Mrs. Harry Dosman,
on the Dosman farm about four and
one-half miles south of Tees water,
was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Dosman,
who discovered the fire, put a call
through to thte Teeswater fire depart
ment, but the firemen were unable to
reach the scene because of snow-
"blocked condition of the roads. Nei
ghbors gathered at the fire, but be
cause of the gale which was blowing
they were unable to do. much. Dam
age was estimated unofficially
$3,000.
SEPOY KIDS WON
GROUP HONORS
Despite their 3-goal lead over the
Lucknow Juveniles the local Juveniles
the round to the Sepoy kids here
on Tuesday night when they were de
feated by a 5-1 score to make it<6-5
on the round. On Thursday night the
local boys played fine hockey to trim
Lucknow 4-1 but on Tuesday night
•the Sepoys played a much better,
game and the local lads had two bad
periods and as a result group honors
go to Lucknow. They will now meet
Kincardine in the play-downs.
Harris, who plays junior for Rip
ley, and MacLeod, were a tower of
strength for Lucknow. Harris scored
three times. The first period was rag
ged and Lucknow netted the puck
twice. In the second period the locals
showed up much better. They check
ed closely and bagged a goal. Ken.
Johnson received a nasty cut on the
forehead when hit by a puck. It re
quired two stitches to close
wound. The lad gamely finished the
game, however.

going and net.ted three goals while
the Young Lions went scoreless.

Weather Very Changeable
Winghamites who are enjoying the
summer breezes of the South Wye
missed a week of very changeable
Weather. Wednesday last week was
very snowy with a high wind and the
hockey team had much difficulty in
getting to Listowel diie to poor vis
ability. Wednesday night it turned
cold and Thursday was a real snappy
winter day. Friday night and Satur
day more snow fell but we did not get
the brunt of the storm which was
mostly south of here. Sunday’s rain
made travel bad but all highways
were open although west of here they
Were very heavy: Monday things
froze up again and the highways were
very slippery and this together with
the ground drift made travel very
slow and dangerous. South of here
the rains of Sunday caused floods or
near floods but n<\t so here. Our hy
dro and telephone lines also stood up
under the strain while in some sec
tions there1’were long interruptions.
Tuesday the weather was colder again*
but not too severe, All in all it was
very changeable weather throughout
the week,
Moore - Carr
A quiet wedding took place at Lon-
’’don on Saturday, February 18, when

ton St. United Church, united in mar
riage Miss Winnifred Estella Carr to
Frank’ Moore, both, of Wingham.
They will reside in-London.
St. Paul’s A.Y.P.A. met in regular
session Monday evening, with the
president, Mrs. M, Templeman, in the
chair. It was decided to enter #the
Deanery Dramatic Contest to be held
early in April. A committee of three
was nominated to act in conjunction
with the Sidesmen’s Association in
church activities during March. Rev.
Mr. Gallagher introduced the topic of
the evening "Canada’s Problem with
respect to the admission of refugees.”
He claimed that if refugee problems
of the magnitude of those presented
by post-war adjustments can be solv
ed by intergovernmental action, it
would seem fairly certain that the
tragic plight of file refugees in Ger
many, former Austria and Czecho
slovakia can be alleviated if the de
sire and will to do so are manifest.
Arguments cultural and economic
were introduced by Messrs. T. .Simp
son and H. Fuller, Mrs. M. Temple
man, Mrs. R. Spittai and Misses E.
Miller, D. Fells, H. Lediett and I.
Lamb. It was urged that there be no
large scale immigration, but a gener
ous policy, in admitting carefully sel
ected individuals or groups of refug
ees to sanctuary on Canadian soil.

February 18th, in .Victoria Hospital,
London, of Norman Leighton Brand

equalize the assessment, were pres
ent. Messrs. Mogg and Quinlan’s re
port re the county equalization was
submitted to the County Council at
the January session but it was laid
over until the June meeting. At that

be pleased to meet the council of any
municipality, answer questions and.
explain their system of valuation.
Wingham Council were not satisfied
with the report of Messrs, Mogg and
