The speaker said it was difficult to realize that slightly over one hundred years ago when the white man first entered southern Ontario therc> was a rich and varied forest growth. The variety of trees were a timber of great value tp the early settler for building roads, bridges and in the great days of wooden ships 1812-1850, large quan­ tities of the finest white pine was shipped to Britain for Mast heads. In contrast today one hundred and thirty five townships have Jess than five percent and Southern Ontario, as a whole has less woodland. During the past ario conservation association, composed of municipal officers and leading agricultural rep­ resentatives, has been arousing public opinion as has the conservation coun­ cil of Ontario which represents the major agricultural forestry and wild life organizations of the provinces, and has a total membership of 180,000, The speaker told of the reforestation plans to return this country to its natural beauty and many organiza- than ten per cont ten years the Ont- and reforestation of Plaid Skirts Wool & Rayon S - fix Sale Price $1.88 S - BOYS’ LONG Flannel Pants Navy, Brown & Grey 4 - fix Sale Price $3.33 Sunday school Jed ip the singing a hymn.

Made of glass, with an electric clement im­ bedded in the centre, the heater^ are similar to the permanent wall panels used extensively as auxiliary or com­ plete heating systems in modern homes, churches, offices and factories. Thp portable models now being manu­ factured measure about 24"x27'', and may be plugged into any handy base­ plug. The new heaters are recommended for several reasons. They give forth no dust, fumes or smoke, have no moving parts, are silent, and present no fire hazard, since the elements are enclosed. Moreover, they are safe for children, since they will not burn on quick contact, The manufacturer also claims that they will maintain normal humidity, Themostats are available and enable you to regulate the tem­ perature as desired, The use of glass heat has also been mooted as a system of heating entire houses. The permanent wall panels are easy to install and since no furnace, ducts or pipes are required, the instal­ lation cost of glassheat is consider­ ably lower than that of conventional heating systems. Operating costs are claimed to be low because individual thermostats allow you to regulate the temperature in each room as required, Best of all in our estimation, is the fact that there are no ashes to carry out! 0-0-0 John Pattison’s having trouble with the new Westinghouse 30-ineh range. Not mechanical trouble, but trouble getting one on the floor to show any customers that might be interested in the thing, * Some time ago when the model first came out, John ordered one for a customer, sight unseen. The range arrived and was sent to the customer's house. John ordered another one for display, and sold this to another cus­ tomer as it was being unloaded from the truck. He ordered a third and managed to get it on the floor bn Tuesday. On Wednesday morning (shortly after the Advance-Times came out with an ad for the 30-inch range) a customer walked into the Store and bought it. This week John has another range, all ready for any prospective custom­ er to see after they have read the ad on page 12 of this issue. o-o-o Business may usually be slow in January, but this year Josephine St. is beginning to hum with January sales.

The amazing progress which this country has made even in the memory of the living. There is still' plenty of farm work for busy hands to do.
