The cora mittee expressed concern over thoughtless slaughter of small trees and the effect of too much land clearing on ground water levels. The by-law was care- fully studied and decision taken to enforce it more strictly. Tree commissioners were in- structed to acquaint themselves with any timber cutting or land clearing operations in their areas. Legal machinery is be- ing made ready to carry out prosecutions on evidence re- turned by the commissioners, The by-law restricts and regulates the destruction of trees by cutting, burning 1r other means and provides for the appointment of officers to enforce the provisions of any by-law passed under this sec- tion. Living trees must have attained the following measure- ments before they can be cut. Measurement must be taken 18 inches above the highest point j of ground at the base of the ESCAPE DROWNING Quick Rescue Saves Lives As Car Topples into River A West Wawanosh Township youth pulled two companions to safety minutes before his car sank in a Huron Township river late Sunday afternoon. Gerald Eggleston, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Eggleston of the sixth concession of West Wawanosh Township rescued Shirley Loder, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Loder of Lucknow and Marion Button, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Button of Lucknow seconds before his car became sugmerg- ed in the 18 -Mile River. According to provincial con- stable Jack Hatch of Kincardine who investigated, Gerald was proceeding north on sideroad No. 10, Huron Township, be- tween the 2nd and 4th conces- sions. Coming over a hill just before the bridge that spans the eighteen mile river, he en- countered some pigs on the road. Braking in an attempt to miss the pigs, he struck the west side of the bridge and they careened over to the east side and tipped over the bridge into the water which is at least six feet deep at that spot. In the few minutes before the car went under, Gerald freed himself through the dri- ver's window, helped Shirley Loder through the window and swam with her to snore, and re- turned to free Marion through the window also and helped her to shore. Marion was the only one injured in the accident suf- fering a broken collar bone. The car settled in the river on its top with only a few inch. es of the four tires visible. Po- lice and observers had high praise for the quick thinking and actions of the Eggleston youth. The water was said to be considerably deeper on the other side of the bridge. The threesome made their way to the nearby farm of Her- man Anger where they were "dried out" and the medical aid summoned. Dr. J. B. Tin- dall of Ripley attended the in- jured Button girl and her par- ents removed her to Wingham Hospital.— Lucknow Sentinel. SHORTHORNS SOLD Max L.

Musgrave, presi- dent of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, appeals for the assistance of all people and the fullest co-operation in helping to alleviate the serious water shortage created by the current drought in Ontario. While the situation has reached serious proportions in nearly all parts of the province, it is much more critical in some areas than in others, and, in these critical areas, every effort must be made to help those in distress. The Federation appeals also for full co-operation with the Emergency Water Supply Com- mittee which was recently ap- pointed by the Minister of Agri- culture. This Committee has moved swiftly to implement a plan of action by naming the agricultural representative in each county as head of the county Emergency Water Supply Organization. These county organizations, which will in- clude medical health officers, Emergency Measures Organiza- tion officers and agricultural engineering specialists, will co- ordinate activities within each county. If you have a water problem you are requested to contact your local agricultural repre- sentative's office. Those who have surplus water, or facili- ties that might be useful in the transportation of storage of water, are also requested to list such equipment with the county agricultural representa- tive. Letters have already gone out to county Federation of Agriculture officials requesting the full co-operation of their organizations with the local VALUES MIRACLE WHIP SALAD DRESSING KLEENEX FACIAL TISSUE 16 -oz.
