This scene, repeated a hundred times throughout Canada, shows a logger unravelling a log jam at Windfall Lake in Quebec's Gatineau district. —Photos by Malak, Ottawa When logs pile up too high to be moved to the log-drivers' strain- ing muscles, dynamite is often used but the preferred method is to wade into the water, tie a chain to one or two of the logs and pull the jam apart by winches and horses. But, as the driver finds, it's cold work! A quarter of a million workers are involved in the forest crop—the most important in Canada's export trade.

Epps, Clinton, secretary, Huron County Crippled Children's Survey, reported today that the total cases to be dealt with at the Clinic will be 274, comprising 142 orthopaedic 26 hearing, 60 eyesight, and 46 speech. It will be recalled that in the very successful Clinic held at Clinton two years ago, the total number of cases was 132, so that apparently, the prob- lem has enlarged during the past two years, and parents are becoming more acutely aware of the excellent service provided. The children undergoing treatment at the Clinic will range up to 19 years of age, but the Committee is anxious to hold down the limit to 16 years, as far as possible. Huron County Crippled Children's Committee met in Huron County Health Unit, Clinton, to consider the various application.

Those requiring transportation to the Clinic on May 21 are requested to get in touch with members of the local Lions Club, which is co-spon- soring this worthwhile effort. I— s1111 Radio & Electric "seroblg You Since 1935" NEWS OF BLUEVALE The W.M.S. met following the associ- ation meeting led by Mrs. J. Wickstead 2nd, vice-president, Miss Emma John- ston, treasurer, reported the alloca- tion over-subscribed for the first quarter of the year. Mrs, W. J. Peacock had charge of the missionary program which outlin- ed the particular needs in our own country. Mrs. Peocock, Mrs. George Hetherington gave information from the Study Book which showed that our Church needs many more minis- ters and other leaders. The shortage of ministers began in the depression years when the church had to re- trench and this need was intensified during the war years when many were called to serve overseas. There are now 130 charges having temporary supplies instead of regular ministers. The Atlantic coast provinces, North- ern Ontario and the prairie provinces suffer most from this shortage. Too much security is a danger to the church. We should launch out in an effort to secure more helpers, mini- sters, nurses, doctors and teachers in order to reach 1,500,000 Canadians not connected with any church.
