Fire Hazard
ADVANCING THE OPENING of t he
speckled trout season to April 29, instead of
the customary date of May 1, provides an op-
portunity for many people to get out into the
woods a week earlier then they planned orig-
inally.
At this time of the year, a week means
that many people who could get away only
for fishing over the weekend, will find less
green growth, in the woods than if they were
only able to fish on the weekend of May 6.
The smaller the amount of green growth,
the greater the fire hazard. Sunny days, erisp,
dry leaves, dead weeds and grasses, a neglect-
ed luncheon fire or discarded cigarette butt—
and you have all the Ingredients for a fire
which may ruin the beauty of a fishing area
and a camping site.
In The Spring
More people in the woods increase the
possibilities of forest /ties breaking out, pare
with smoking materials and camp fires can
prevent fires. •
Use your car ash tray; do not discard
burning smoking material along the trails; use
plenty of water on your camp fire and feel it
with your hand before leaving.
It is the responsibility of every individual
fisherman to see that the shores of our lakes
and streams remain green for his own future
enjoyment and that of his children.
Remember that after April 1 a Travel
Permit is required before entering the woods
In a Travel Permit Area. For your conven-
ience these permits. may be obtained from of-
fices of the Department of Lands and Forests
and from honorary fire wardens who, in many
cases, are outfitters.
What Pension
•
PENSIONS ARE FINE, THINGS and it
would be splendid if every. citizen could be
presented with a substantial one at 65 or
even earlier. But, says The Financial Post,
like that world cruise we would all, like to
take, or the country estate we would all like
to have, there comes the inevitable question;
"Can we afford it?" '
Most people agree that our present nation-
al pension policy ' is not generous. It only
goes to people over 70 and only to those who
can prove that they have no other significant
source of income. But even this rigidly re-
stricted scheme costs the national treasury ap-
proximately $100 millions a year or about one
Can We Afford?
sixth of the pre-war budget.
But that scale is far below what is being
asked in some quarters. The minimum should
be $60 a month for everyone and at 65, it
has been suggested. That would cost $793
millions a year or just about a third the total
of the budget Mr. Abbott announced in the
House the Other day.
Even that would not satisfy some of the
groups which have been wearing a path to
Ottawa. These people would retire everybody
at 60 which at $60 a month would take up
half our present budget, leaving us a little
short for meeting the interest on the national
debt, and defense costs not to mention the
civil service and some other government bills.

In its outspoken commentary, the bank spread realism in matters of public finance,
points out that the federal budget is balanced
by only i "hair's breadth."
"It follows, therefore," the review asserts.
"that additional governmental services of any
significance can be provided only through in-
creased taxation or by adding to the national
debt, not for capital outlays, but for deficits
incurred on current account. One cannot but
• conclude that the outlook for any further worth-
while reduction of taxation in the foreseeable
future is, to say the least, rather dim."
The concept of a "rock bottom" budget
of $2,400 millions "heavily underlines the vital
necessity of sensible economy in all depart-
• ments of government" The government main-
tains that its present civilian payroll, at 12
cents in the dollar, cannot be reduced to the
point where such administrative costs would
noticeably affect the budget. "One cannot but
fear, nevertheless," the bank asserts, "that the
very size of the budget may be conducive to
an attitude of mind which regards minor econ-
omies as =important."
Turning to the question of the scope of
gevernmental services, the review points out
that "it is 'fashionable in many quarters to
claim that governments are at the mercy of
public demand in this respect. Thus, in the
present budget speech it is stated that 'the
. public, the responsible political parties and
this parliament have all willed the ends' to
which the various expenditures are directed."
&King
I love the melodies of Spring,
The robins' call and the creeks that sing,
The chorus voices of tree and bower,
And the lilting nod of every flower.
The sighing pines at the old front gate
And the lapping waves on Huron's lake;
Rustling leaves in a shady dell,
Arrival of fledglings and their breakfast
Warm kind rain upon the roof,
And the proud young brood of Mother Goose;
The greening sod where cattle graze
And the warm stream rising from fertile earth,
All this artistry given birth
When spring holds sway.
A gift from God to hippy make
Mare his kine and his estate,
, A heritage of wealth and peace
In faithful Springtime's kind 'release.
—MARGARET RHYNAS,
Toronto, formerly of Bayffeld
THOUGHT FOR TODAY—It has been pre-
dicted that in fifty years the average man
will make $12,000 a year, and et the rate
we're spending he'd better.

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
J. E. Webb operated a large
drug store in St. Petersburg, Flor-
ida. He sold alcohol too. On July
1, 1948 he stopped selling alcohol.
He gave an unusual reason. "Al-
though I made $100.000 profits
on the sale el liquor the past
year, I have quit the business of
selling it, because I followed the
bottles home, observed how much
misery and poverty and crime
they were responsible for." Ail
who are in favour of liquor out-
lets should follow the bottles
home. 17-b
