The local response has been poor to date; do not delay! A Crop That Should Be "Cultivated" fur bearers and you will be repaid many times over. Fence swampy or marshy ground against pasturing stock. Feeding on such land destroys the food of fur bearers. Prevent grazing along stream banks. Here grow the water plants and willow shoots that are staple food for the prolific muskrat—who should be protected with special care! When necessary, build small dams to main- tain a constant water level. Such dams are easily and quickly constructed. They are all your "four -footed crop" -the fur bearers—ask of you in the way of providing a home for them. WHEN FARMERS of Huron County are looking around for additional sources of in- come, they should not overlook the "extra crop"—fur—which nature has placed on or near their farms. ' Like other crops, fur yields most when "cultivated." The first step in the"cultiva- tion" •of fur is to look on your swampland and marshy places in a new light. Stop thinking of them as worthless spots to be drained or used as dumping grounds. Consider them as acreage that can be made profitable through cultivation of the fur crop.

Can- ada think they are doing very well indeed these days if they can hold tax levels down to anything close to previous levels . B u t they would get a shock if they went to Sweden, comments The Financial Post. There some counties very similar in cli- mate and area to those of the more thinly settled section of Eastern Canada, have abolish- ed municipal taxes altogether. And they have done this without the slightest sacrifice in municipal service. The rich uncle in this Swedish story is the forested areas which the Swedes cherish end we so often neglect. For almost a century municipal forests have been major resources of revenue in Sweden, some of them such successful sources that they now look after all municipal expenditures. As well they con- serve moisture, prevent floods, furnish healthy recreation areas for home folk and tourist. THOUGHT FOR TODAY -People who are worthless are not talked about very much. It 'is the man who is trying to make the most of his time and talents who is a target for the •abuse and aspersions of jealous minds. Road to Totalitarianism OUR DEMANDS for government aid are increasing steadily, comments The Huntsville Forester. We want the state to build homes for us. We ask it to provide for our old age. We have government unemployment insurance; cur farming, and livestock industries ere con • stantly calling for government subsidies, sup • port :floor prices, and for government purchase of its surplus products. In short, we are asking the state to pro- vide for us, the things which under the system of rt-ivate enterprise, we should provide for ourselves; and in doing so, we are gradually surrendering the ordering of bur own private affairs, to state control;; and ere building up a bureaucracy that leads to the very system we abhor in the so-called totalitarian countries.

The Ontario Depart- ment of Highways reminds everyone that children don't always stop to think, but that drivers 'always should be thinking, and pre- pared to stop in time to save a child's life. * C * THE CLINTON NEW ERA Thursday, March 31, 1910 Mr. and Mrs. L.

His drunk- enness does not lessen the harmfulness of his lawbreaking. When will the pictures, stop displaying the plight of a drunk man for the amusement of the audience? It's not funny—it's pathetic and shameful. When will the public learn that drunk- enness is a disease just as deadly as tuberculosis and to be treat- ed with just as much serious- ness? .
