enjoyed such facilities; the continuing and tire-

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-

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.

Imagine --No Taxes!
MOST RURAL MUNICIPALITIES in. 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.
Watch For Children!
COULD YOU 'STAND to see a child you
bed killed? Please keep your eyes open for
children when you drive. 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.

When will the public realize
that a drunk man's law break-
ing is not to be excused on the
ground that he was under the
influence of liquor? 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? .
