Slaughter ' Qf Trees
A Serious Matter
Not more than 1% of the -trees
cut down in Toronto in the last 10
years have been 'replaced, declares
the Globe and Mail. Similar reports
come from other Canadian cities,
And this slaughter is not confined to
urban centres. In villages and fields,
and along the provincial highways.
mature trees are being' destroyed or
mutilated in many cases with no new
planting following. ..
From both the standpoint of beauty
and conservation this destruction is
a serious matter. At the present rate
a great deal of t;anada, even in those
sections where trees grow quickly,
easily and naturally, will soot) be
stripped bare. There will be nothing
to break the monotony of rows of
buildings, ,telephone or power poles.
In Europe there are severe laws
about cutting trees. fu some cases
two new trees must be planted for
every one removed. In these older
and much• more thickly populated
countries there are far. more trees
in the cities and along the highways
than in Canada and in farm country
the woodlats are more numerous and
larger.
It takes" from. 50 to 100 .yearsto
grow a tree in Canada. It takes from
five minutes to 10 minutes to cut it
down. We're going to have to do a
lot more piatiting and a lot less cut-
ting if we hope to retain a proper
balance.

Another weer gone by without
any' rain -except for a little shower
the other night. If it were summer.
the drought would be more obvious
but with everything so green it is
harder to realize that the lack of
rain is becoming quite serious.
However this morning, the radio
spore of rain in Toronto so maybe
we shall get some yet, Here's
hoping, anyway.
In the meantime dry weather has
speeded along my painting job in
the sunroom, Queer how much
time one, Gan spend on a little two-
by-four place. But when the ceiling,
floors, windows, walls, and the out-
side all need a paint -job it certainly
takes time, as even in a small place
one must wait for each coat of
paint to dry: I still have the win-
dows and floors to do—and then
next neck' Maybe I'll be writing
this column in the sunroom.
Of course since 'I have been up
to my eyes in paint we have had
more than the usual number of
callers. That always happens. Sun-
day I had things more or less
straightened around,- and Partner'
had found time to get the grass

it appeared no one would be in to.

heading for the' barn Daughter
breezed in with a girl friend. They
were not here very long and had
hardly gone when a carload arrived
from Guelph and stayed until late
that night. Shalt I 'be, glad when
the cotes are out to pasture, then .
maybe people will realize I have a
husband! The way ft is now, when-
ever visitors ,arrive Partner is at
the barn. So, unless the visitors go
clown to the barn, or wait until
Partner is through with the chores
and hack to the house, then they
come andgo without seeing him
at all. That is one of the diead-
vanta,ece of farming alone. Partner
says it fs also one of the disad-
vantages of his increasing slowness.
He is unable to' hurry, and if he
stops to visit, as he would naturally
like to do, their he has to work
that much later to catch up with.
his work.
Other arthritic sufferers will
know exactly what he means—and
there seems no alternate. Arthritis
is a hard master: A certain amount
of rest is very necessary but .too

The job is easily done. Wrap
several thicknesses of cloth around
the top of a pole. Bind with )vire
and dip in coal oil. Just before dark
take pole, matches and a pail of
water to the scene of destruction.
After the worms have been des-
troyed dowse the flaming .torch in
water. If there are many trees - to
be done several torches' may be
needed. One might do more harm
than the caterpillars by carrying a
flaming torch from tree to tree.

How's Your Spelling
Strangely enough,- at one time
it did depend on the -taste and fan-
cy of the spelle n -One .authority
tells us that Shakespeare spelled
his name in some thirty different
ways (Shakspere, Shakespeare,
Shaxpere, Schackspere, Shaxpur
being some of the more frequent
variations). The grandson of James
II, writing about his father, .refers
to him sometimes as ferns and at
other times as Gems! Spelling was
a grand and glorious free-for-all.
You spelled the way words sounded'
to you, and it was almost a game to
see in how many different 'Vier]
you cotild achieve a recognizable
word.
Even as late as 1764, James Bos-
well, famous biographer of Samuel
Johnson, in ,a letter writtcn,to. his
friend, William Temple, misspelled,
according to our standards; the
w o'r d s agreable, allready, stile
(style), beleive, it's (for its), nom -
pleat, friend, immediately, sgtisfy'd
english, nonsence, reals, Smoak,
yeild, corespond, chuse (choose),
cheerful, allmost, releiving, 'sollici-
ted, abhorr, awefuli, and character-
ise. If Boswell had consulted his
friend's celebrated dictionary, pub-
lished nine years earlier, he would
have spelled all but two (conlplcat
and chime are given as variant spell-
ings) as we spell them today,,
Twenty-one spelling mistakes in
one letter( Poor Boswell! 3sfiss
Finch would never have let him
pass in Englislt 1,
Today it is no longer fashionable
to misspell. Today such spelling
is not countenanced 551h,ig51
• places.... l ii T,
Malty attempts to relornt% l3ng-
lish spelling have been made in the
last une hundred years, And al-
though one such attempt was sub-
sidized by Andrew Carnegie; super-'
vised by Professor Brander 'Matt-

by Theodore leooscvclt, then presi-'5

Be Was World's Richest Man
And
Mankind Still Reaps The Benefits
Rockefeller: "Believed his
wealth carne from God"'
The richest lash in the ~world
Ives' undoubtedly John L, Roelce-
feller, His fortune was once esti-
meted. at over four billion dollars,
which was good going for the bogy,
whose first job was picking poi,''
toes fora dollar 11 week,
During itis lifetime he gave away
more than $500,000,000.. But his
greatest gift, and the one which,
even though he is dead, has made
him the world's rich uncle, was the
Rockefeller Foundation.
There are very few people who
have not to thank Rockfcller, even
if only indirectly, for something
which has bettered their lives.
Science, medical research, ,social
services, child welfare, all have
been assisted by the Foundation. •,
Black Future
Take one example, For years
scientists have been warning ,us' -that -
if the population of the world con-
tinues to increase at tate present
huge rate, the farming areas of
the world will be unable to feed
everyone, and either new land will
have to be developed or the world
will slowly but surely starve to
death.
In 1443 the food ''position in P.
Mexico 'was acute. The pdpulatton
was then about 23,000,000„which is
not a huge population when you
think of the size of Mexico, but'
less than eight per cent of the
country is suitable for temp, ,grove, -
ing. There is little room for ex-
pansion, because three-quarters of
the costars, is either arid pr semi-
arid.
The population was increasing so
rapidly (it isexpected lto''reach
--
the 50,000,000 mark -'in less 'than '
twenty-five years) tlfaf`the alexitite
Government was seriously wdrt'ied.
There seemed nothing they could
do, and the future looked very
black.
Last Resoprce
Then, as a last •resource, they
contacted the Rockfeller Foundation
and asked their help. That help was
given without a moment's. delay,
and without any thought of the
cost. A number of scientists and
experts were sent to Mexico im- -
mediately,
They discovered that even with
the small amount of land available
for corn—.the Mexican's' staple, diet
-s -it was only producing ten bushels
per acre. Import more, and' more
seemed to be the only answer, and
yet Mexico, was too poor to int -
port the amount necessary to main-
tain life.
The scientists and experts got
down to the job, itfonth after month
they experimented, first with the
land and then with the corn, coo-
centrating on improving the duality.
It 'took Tive_years to prove the
success of their work,' and int 1948
the country did not 'need to im-
;•: roll sane setae For the first time
since the First World War they
1 were growing! enough 'for all their
needs, The ltpcllfe}ler Foundation
htarf'played JIM uncle once again,
Xt:ateo prtl'ved nine contention of
)?resident Barnard, president of the
Foundation, that the world was able
etc, austahl Itselfbut'=that it needed
scientific knowledge to.dpso.
'ftjr-°years ago an American
•W411}a0, Cora' S•Iillis, realized that
while crippled ehildren. and mental
4/go-three received every care and
attention, ordinary healtjty ,children
were, like Topsy, just allowed to
grow,
Making Sure
'i She spent her life trying to make
people realize that child welfare

Rockefeller Foundation, known as
the Laura', Spellman Rockefeller
Memorial started by. John 11, in
memory of Laura, his wife, realized.
how,Jm}lortaot was child welfare,
and Social science research centres
were set up'aIl otier1the world.
From this developed the mucic
larger science of Hutnan Relations,
and when the Yale Institute found-
ed a centre for this at New Haven
rn 1929, .Twilit. the; af,{n of stutlyiti '
,jthe normal individual;, with J the
;ante care that had only been given
jo alsiturmajs, the Foundation
.granted, 54,500,000. .
John "D. Rockefeller believed
that God Karl given him his great
wealth to use for the well:being
of humanity, and the Foundation
is leaking sure' that. it still goes
towards the solution of the world's
major problems.

ALICE UP TO DATE -
"A slow sort of cpuntry,” said the Queen to Alice. "Now here, you
see it takes all the running you ,can do to keep in the same place. If
you want to get sonteWHere else; you must run as least twice as fast
as that."
Lewis Carroll made that observation many years' ago but it fits
many of today's ea:meanie complexities like a Hollywood starlet fills
out a bathing suit.
A• few. weeks ago, 37 unionized bus drivers staged a 29 -day strike
that tied up the public transportation system of Sydney, I1,S., a city of
`30,000 people, They finally got a raise of 17jc an hour. Another union,
the big 4,000 members Steel Workers, at nearby Dominion Steel and
Coal, applauded loudly.
The raise 'skill cost $20,000 a year. The bus company was just break-
ing even as;it was, To pay the raise, it applied for a fare increase. Who
do you think is the stain opponent? You guessed it; the Steel union,
Why: Because the steel` workers are the ones who use the buses most.
