Plat in military precision, with 'news
editor John Strong as general in
ebarge. As the results were tabulated
on the score cards, assistants, at the
adding machines totaled them and
entered the totals on slips of paper.

the battery of announcers on duty at

Windham Centre Man
Grows Pine Trees
If $00100,11() were to ask the question
"How old would a man •be when he
plants trees. in order to live to pee
them harvested?" chances are you
Would reply twenty to twenty-five
years, maybe even thirty." Not many
would• reply fifty-one says the Ridge-
tpwn Dominion,
Back in 1028, Mr. W, H. Haviland
of Windham Centre set out 40,000 pine
seedlings, mostly red and. White pine,
on a 36-acre tract of drifting bloweand
in the fourteenth concession of Wind-
isam Township, The property was ewe-
ed by Mr. Havilancl and his son, Mr.
W. B. Haviland of Kirkland Lake, At
that time Mr. Haviland was 59. On
July 23rd. last, Mr, Haviland cele-
brated his 84th birthday, in good
health and with an active mind. His
plantation, one of the finest in Ont,
arip, has just had its first thinning,
Yielding approximately 200 cords of
four foot pulpwood for the Ontario
Paper Company at Thoroid, and 100
cords of eight foot saw logs which
were processed at a local sawmill. The
work was done under contract by Mr.
Ronald Wagner, of Delhi.
Since his plantation was first estab-
lished, Mr, Haviland has been keenly
interested in its development. In 1939
the dead lower branches pruned. An
attractive sign was erected to caution
the public against the fire hazard. Re-
cently, Mr. Haviland became interested
in thinning operations in other plan-
tations, and when he learned that his
was in need of thinning, action was
not long following. The work. began
last fall, and was completed this
month. There is, at the time of writ-
ing, still a considerable volume of
pulpwood awaiting trucking to Thor-
old.
Now then, what has all this to do
with not growing old? Medical men
will tell us that when a man's mental
process slow down, the body often fol-
lows suit. Old age to many is a period
of intense boredom, but not to this
fine old gentleman and his planta-
tion. According to Mr. Haviland Jr.,
his father's good health is in no small
degree attributed to the continued in-
terest that the plantation has provided,
As Mr. Haviland Sr. himself said,
'A man doesn't slow down because
he grows old. He grows old because
he slows down,"

See I am drest.
If, when winter's kerchief clean,
Blindfolds earth, I leave the scene:
Do not to superstition lean
In wearing crepe,
'Just to show you vent your spleen
And custom ape,
But if you miss when I depart,
Vestige of virtue of the heart,
Resolve, perform, spirit thou art.
Love God and man.
Twin soul, play manfully thy part
Till ends the span.

FUN AMONG
THE EDITORS
by W. J. Fleuty
As I have to affix a title to this
story, "Fun Among the Editors"
seems to be as appropriate as any I
could devise.
To get a personal joke on a con-
temporary editor was quite a comr
mon pastime in days gone by. Some-
times these intended jokes were not
so funny either—just a trifle too per-
sonal—but generally speaking one edi-
tor's wisecrack at the expense of an-
other was taken in good part and
replied to in the same good fellow-
ship.
As the editor of the Southampton
Beacon, at one stage in my long car-
eer, I sure did get a tremendous rib-
bing. I think every weekly news-
paper in Western Ontario took a fling
at me.
It all arose out of a short para-
graph that appeared in an issue of
The Beacon one week that told of the
editor having seen a number of pe-
culiar snakes. These reptiles were
described as resembling pieces of
animated and highly polished cop-
per wire, each about two feet long.
There was, in my day, what was
cally known as the long dock, which
was built out from the mainland to-
ward Chantry Island and served the
good purpose of forming the Chan-
try Island harbour, in which many a
sailing vessel sought shelter from the
storms of Lake Huron.
My contemporaries all hinted or
questioned what I had been drinking,
which was only what was to be ex-
pected at such a time. Of course, this
was all taken good humoredly on my
part.
Editors' Wordy War
One wordy war I remember took
place between Editor Deans of The
Drayton Times and S. G. Kitchum, an
Orangeville publisher. The argument
had been carried on for several
weeks. Then Seneca G. referred to
his opponent as "Dirty Deans of the
Drayton Hard Times''. Of course
this brought out a stinging reply in
which Mr. Deans stated that "Seneca
G. is so homely he is afraid to go to
bed alone."
To the best of my knowledge this
brush of weekly references ended the
discussion.
Now, if my readers will pardon me,
I would like to make, reference to my
only contact with this Orangeville
citizen. I was on the staff of The
Vancouver News-Advertiser and had
gone from the dining-room of the
Stewart House Hotel to the bar room,
where I saw a man sitting in a chair
tilted back against the wall, He was
sound asleep, and as I looked at him
I thought he was the most repulsively
homely man I had ever seen in all
my travels. Another member of the
1k7-A staff was h young man named
Menary, famed as a member of the
Orangeville lacrosse team. I asked
this young man if he knew if Seneca
G. was on the Pacific Coast. he is,"
I said, "I saw him in the hotel, for
I have never seen Stich a homely hu-
man being," About four days' growth
of red whiskers didn't help his ap-
pearance.
We had just got started to work
when a stranger wandered into the
office. Menary got quite a surprise.
lot guessed It. It was his old friend
from Orangeville.
Closer to Home
As a well-known Toronto radio an-
nouncer says nightly, "And now for
news closer to home." A young Mart
named George Haggard was the pub-
lisher of The Teeswater News. Ile
had been an apprentice on The Bruce
I4erald in my father's time, and these
two editors were °warm friends, 'The
News chronicled the robbing of a
clothesline in TeeSwater, stating that
a man's shirt was one of the articles
taken, Thee, here's whore the trouble
started, The item .4onclUded, "the edi-
tor of The Windham Times was in
town that night," Next week the It-
ern Was reproduced In The Advance,
with the • added statement, "We
haven't seen the Times editor Wear-
Jag any new Shirt Since the clothes
line robbery,"
Now most editors would have re-
taliated with some caustic reply, but
Editor Osborne Of The Times was
boiling mad, He at °rice entered a
Woloschuk-Thompson
The Rev, Gilbert Gomm officiated in
the United Church, Teeswater, for the
marriage of Mary Helen Thompson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan
S. Thompson, Culross Township, to
Steve Wolosehuk, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Nicholas Woloschult, Ethelbert, Man.
R. C. Ireland provided traditional wed-
ding music.
The bride, given in marriage by her
father, wore a full-length gown of
white nylon net over satin with a
Chantilly lace jacket featuring a col-
onial collar and long sleeves. A crown
of seed pearls held her floor-length
veil and she carried a white Bible
crested with American Beauty roses.
Maid of honor was Miss Gracie
Heughan, wearing a pastel blue gown
of nylon net over taffeta with a floral
crown headdress. Miss Muriel Shiell
attended, wearing a yellow gown and
floral crown headdress,
Groomsmen were William Gallagher
and David Neilson. Ernest Hanna and
Donald Willits were ushers.
The bride's mother received guests
at her home, wearing a lime green
nylon frock with white accessories.
The groom's mother wore a navy
dress with white accessories.
For a wedding trip to the United
States and Western Canada, the bride
chose a gray flannel dress suit with
red accessories. They will reside in
Winnipeg.
The groom received his Bachelor of
Science and Bachelor of Pedagogy de-
grees at•the University of Manitoba.
SAYS ADVERTISING
ALWAYS PAYS OFF
The phrase is often heard, "I don't
need to advertise, everyone knows
what I handle," But do they? Here's
what "Marketing," a paper of adver-
tising men says: s
"Every year • more than 250,000
people in Canada get married. To
these couples are born every year,
130,000 live babies.
"In defiance of these vital statistics
there are advertisers who are satis-
fied to advertise spasmodically and
occasionally, a sputter now and a
splash later as the fancy takes them.
They labour under the impression
that they are appealing to a grand-
stand of fans patiently and eagerly
awaiting their turn on the stage,
They overlook the fact that the most
stable market is a procession. Collect-
ively, as a group, a market may re-,
main static in its wants for some time,
but individually it _is changing con-
stantly. New blood is constantly being
injected and needs and buying habits
can alter almost overnight.
"These newcomers need educating
in these products of the market place,
especially the new and improved pro-
ducts. They may not be interested to-
day; tomorrow they will be interested..
The constant advertiser Who is ready
with his message to catch their awak-
ened eyes gets their priority. That's
why its paying, The furiction of ad-
vertising is to pre-Sell arid re-Sell."
An hour's work by the average Can-
adian worker would buy in 1941 at
least four times the goods and Services
got for an hour in 1847, according to
recent statistical studies.

Oh, Wear No Crepe,My
Friend for Me
Editor's Note—The following verses
were found among the personal papers
of the late Peter S. Fisher, who died
at his home near Teeswater last week.
We publish them as a final tribute to
a fine friend and well-loved citizen.
Oh! Wear No Crepe My Friend
For Me
Oh! wear no crepe my friend, for me
When I into Eternity
Am called forth.
Smile and be happy, let it be
A. time of mirth.
Be glad that I have twice been born,
Thus of my sinful past been shorn;
Be glad that Death to me is worn
And do not weep
As though my soul were lost, forlorn
In Satan's keep.
If it be springtime when I die,
And merry warblers wing the sky,
Rejoice as very oft have
On former season,
When bird and bud and creatures spry,
For joy have reason,
And if it be the summer bright
When to this earth I say goodnight,
And lambent Luna from her height
Soft- splendolirs shed,
Enraptured, gaze the entrancing sight,
As did the dead.
If the appropriate days of fall
Shall bid me answer to my call,
Then let the leaves of colors all
Upon me rest.
But please with no repulsive pall
