' and wisely used, in twenty-five
years, at the present rate of destruc-
tion by fire and axe, we will have
wed up all our available timber.
Forestry experts claim that if fire
can be kept out, Canada's forest
growth each year will provide all
the timber and pulp wood required.
The chief problem, however, is not
how to light fire, but how to prevent
it. Every man, woman and child
who goes into the woode should know
the danger and feel the responsibil-
ity. Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister
of the Interior, is doing a national
work in organizing the fight against
forest fires. The people of Canada
could do infinitely more, however, by
way at a mile -a -minute or faster exercising care to prevent them.

A ILEEN MARY0VOLLICE, just
19 years old, is the first licensed
Canadian woman pilot. She aspires
to pilot a transport plane, and no
doubt if she gets some more exper-
ience she will succeed in her ambit-
ion. However, she has a long way to
go before she ev ill be a real bang-up
commercial aviator. In the United
States, where avaition is being plac-
e,} on a sound business basis, pilots,
to hold steady commercial jobs,
carrying passengers on regular
routes, flying the air mail or on tran-
sport
rapsport work, or in test flying, require
many hundred hours of flying exper
ience on various types of airplane
to obtain positions. The great diffi-
culty is in bridging the gap between
the few huors of solo flying neces-
sary to obtain a license, and the
many hours required to obtain re-
cognized proficiency which will be
worth real money to the established
aviation concerns. It costs money to
operate airplanes, and a few hours
on a "Jenny" is not enough for an
aviator to convince the powers that
sign the salary cheques that he or
she can be entrusted with a $50,000
plane.
THE forest supplies work for
thousands of men—in the woods
and the mills and the wood -working

men support familii'es and schools,
churches, stores, factories, villages,
towns and cities. Forest industries
rank second in importance only to
agriculture. They provide a big
market for farm products. Think
twice before you light the match;
think twice again before you throw
it away. Your cam pfire may burn
itself out. But don't let it go at
that. Put it out with water. Don't

understood about refrigeration.
Spices were in heavy demand to
make palatable meats that were too

The Arabs were able to freeze
water even in the midst of the desert

As time went on ice boxes came
naturally into existence as a convert -
lent means of storing cold. But no
one knows exactly when this practice
started.
It was not until the 19th Century
that usable ice making machinery
appeared. Jacob Perkins is general-
ly regarded as the first man to de-
velop a machine to make ice in com-
mercial quantities. His machine em-
braced the compressor, evaporator,
condenser and expansion valve of
the modern machines although they
were very crude, naturally, as com-
pared to the present day products.

Where Newspaper Editors will Meet
The Macdonald Hotel in Edmonton has
grown in popularity as the meeting
place of important conventions during
recent years, so it was not surprising,
when the members of the Canadian
Weekly Newspapers Association con-
sidered the holding of their 1928 annual
convention in Western Canada, that
their choice should fall upon the Mac-
donald hotel at Edmonton, as their
meeting place.
The hotel in its name perpetuates the
memory of Sir John A. Macdonald who
headed a group of far sighted men in the
efforts to weld all the provinces of Cana-
da into one united Dominion, It occu-
pies a commanding site on the bank of
the Saskatchewan river, and occupies
also, a commanding place in the life and
in the development of Edmonton, the
Capital of the province of Alberta.
All that a great metropolitan hotel has
to offer its guests is found beneath the
pinnacled and turreted roof of the Mac-
donald, which is of the high standard of
Canadian National Railways hotels is
every particular. Its rooms are restful
and full of sunlight; its broad rotunda is
thronged by out-of-town people and by
Edmonton citizens who make this the
headquarters for many interests; its
convention halls and public rooms are
spacious and delightful, and its cuisine
and service are of the Canadian National
standard which has become so well-
known and popular with people travel-,
ing through Canada.
After their convention at Edmonton,
the weekly newspaper editors will travel
to Jasper National Park, Canada's
largest and forest game sanctuary.
