PROSPECTIVE HEIR
TO COMMONWEALTH
CROWN BORN
A Royal Prince, who may some day
rule over the Commonwealth was
born at 9,14 p.m. (4.14 EST), Sunday,
November 14th, in Buckingham Pal-
ace, London, England. The child, born
to the Duke and Duchess of Edin-
burgh, is a prospective heir, second
in succession, to the Crown of Great
Britain and the Commonwealth, as his
Heiress Presumptive. That places the
new-born Prince in the direct line of
succession to the world's strongest
throne and his position as second in
succession can only be upset in the
improbable event that the Queen will
yet bear a son.
In all probability, it will be many
a long year before this first-born son
of Princess Elizabeth and Prince
Philip sits on the throne which his
ancestors have held for so many
years despite devastating wars, econ-
omic upsets and political changes,
The King is only middle-aged, active
and in good health, and the daughter,
who will succeed him is sully twenty-
two, so the Royal infant may not as-
cend the throne for many years. The
Royal baby has been ushered into a
troubled world, and this newspaper
joins with millions of well-wishers in
all British countries, to pray that his
life may be as exemplary as that of
his Royal grandfather. King George
VI, but less beset with turmoil and
strife. Today, King, Queen and heirs
are more securely lodged in the af-
fection of millions of their subjects
than ever before which is a good aug-
ury for the new-born Royal Prince.
When the Right Honorable Willism
Iss-on MacKenzie Rims. resigned as
Prime 3.1inister of Canada, on Mon-
day, November 15th, he had esnablisu-
ed a new longevity record in "fiice
for Commonwealth prince ministers of
.21 years, 5 'months and 5 days. Alto-
gether he had served Canada as prime
minister for 7,520 days. As a paper
with independent political views we
will not attempt to appraise Mr. King
or his record, other than to say that
he gave Canada distinguished serviee
for whiCh the country as a whole is
grateful, This newspaper wishes hit
full recovery of his health and many
years of good health in which to enjoy
his leisure in retirement irons actiVe
politics.
Regardless of political beliefs, all
Canadians admit that Mr, King's forte
was his ability to win elections, shape
his policies and platform so as to win
and hold a solid Quebec French Can-
adian bloc while retaining enough
die-hard liberal votes from the other
provinces to give him control of the
should be. Local grown fruit should be
!available at a cost to make its, plenti-
ful use possible.
The - earlier farmers in this district
had vision and wisdom enough to
plant fruit trees in large numbers.
They knesst full well that it takes a
number of years to grow a fruit tree
to the state where it will bear fruit,
but they were willing to have their
children and future generations get
the benefit of their toil, even if they
never picked many fruit crops them-
selves. Some provision for future years
should be made by all men, and cer-s
tainly the farmers of this district
should re-plant the orchards that once
were so vital a part of she life of the
people of this locality.
Old age, storms, disease, pests and
exceptional cold weather one winter,
back about a dozen. years ago, destroy-
ed most of the fruit trees in this dis-
rict, and farmers neglected to replace
them. Other parts of Canada, partic-
ularly in the West, even as far north
as the Peace River country, try des-
perately, by every possible means and
with no stint, of labor and cost, to
grow even scrubby apple trees. And
here, in the Garden of Canada, where
bountiful nature has made every pro-
vision for growing- fruits, the farmers
negleot to take advantage of nature's
generosity.
The farmers of this district should
each plant and grow a sizeable orch-
ard. Fruit may be made a profitable
paying crop in this locality as well as
elsewhere. Sprays, etc., have been de-

meeting and get up and nominate
your own choices for the various of-
fices. Why not exercise your right
this year.. If you arc satisfied with
the 1948 Council, then commend them
and re-elect them, but if you are dis-
satisfied with their services, then get
up en your feet at the meeting and say
so and suggest candidates that you
think will give better service, Wing-
ham has never had a woman Mayor-

of no reason why the fairer sax should
be overlooked for such offices if the
mavjority of males continue to show
such apathy as to who fills the various
positions. If at all possible be present
at the 'nomination meeting this year.
PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle'
I was in the city the other night at
the home of some friends. It was the
time of my annual pilgrimage to the
shrine of the Insurance. company that
holds the mortgage on the farm, Hav-
ing unloaded a bale of cash I was pre-
pared to go and poke through a de-
partment store, attend a movie possibly
and then after dinner catch the night
train home,
Outside the iossurance company of-
fice I bumped into John Peter Mc-
Namara. He used to live in our town-
ship and he later moved 'to the city
where he works for a farm supply
house as a traveller. He pressed me
to go up to his place for dinner. I
yielded, partly because, my feet were
getting sore and partly because I al-
ways liked John Peter.
Wewere just finishing supper, and
a good meal it was, when the lights
went out. There was a scramble to
light candles and the kids started rais-
ing a rumpus. It was utter confusion
that reigned in that home, as Mrs.
McNamara upset the coffee pot and
John Peter tripped over the electric
cord and brought the lamp hurtling
down. Finally a dim-candle illuminated
the room. In three quarters of an hour,
the light was to be restored:
It made me realize sitting in the
gloom of that house, just howa complete
man now depends on elentricity as his
servant. The lights went out, but that
was only the start as far as they were
concerned. The radio was off and John
was anxious to hear the news. The oil
burner wouldn't work and neither
would the refrigerator. The clock in
the room stopped and so did
the electric fireplace. The hot water
heater wouldn't work. The youngsters
brought out a toy train, but it would-
not budge with the juice'cut off. John
even admitted that his fancy gadget
which he put on the garage doors to
make them open and close by simply
pushing a button, Was also ,out of or-
der. They haven't any heat for cook-
ing when the current fails. I have never
seen a more helpless group in my life.
I wonder how many people sitting
in darkened homes in 'the city, because
of the power shortage, ever stop to
reflect on the situation. I guess it
would be too much to hone that the
man who pulled that fast deal off when
he stripped a hundred acres of bush-
land, would ever think that he had
helped caused the shortage. The man
who started the bush fire could also
reflect'that he hadn't helped any. The
retired farmer who tore the life and
soul from his farm to make money,
without replenishing anything might
also stop and think.
People don't seem to thiak about
those things. They just sit and fume

and fuss. It's easier to blame a nebu-
lous thing, than it is to realize that
Mother Nature may be getting a little
fed up of the greed of man who thinks
that conservation means destruction
for gain.
