S. ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1951 Farms With Electric Power A COMPLETE COUNT of the farms in sada having wind electric outfits, gasoline fits and obtaining power from electric power ss, will be made in the 1951 Census of Agri- ture to be taken in June. The information electric power will provide a useful guide the development that has taken place in s respect in rural homes and to the poten- t further expansion of power facilities. Electricity adds' greatly to the comfort of m homes, with the provision of refrigeration ;le aids to production in the form of water mps, milking machines, feed grinders and. )tors for other uses, as well as its use for biting and for many labour-saving conven ices in the household. The number of farms ging electricity 'has been growing steadily the last few years,. after the. slowing up in extension of power services during the a war years. Ten years ago, according to the 1951 Census, about 140,000 farm dwellings, approx- imately onc-fifth of the total, number, had electric light. In 1947 central electric st itIons listed 169,518 farm customers. Added to this figure would be a number with electric service from home plants and from other sources. In 1949, it is estimated, 226,000 farms in seven provinces received power from power com- missions power companies or co-operative power services. Ontario end Quebec have shown the great- est advance in rural power services and exten- sions are taking place each year. Rapid growth is also occurring in some other provinces. Man- itoba has a construction program to service 51000 new customers annually. ' The Year To Fence Sugar Maple Woodlots 9ntario Department of Lands and Forests) SOME SPECIES of trees such as white , soft or silver maple and white elm have rop of seed every year, while sugar maple some of the 'pines have a good crop of d only occasionally. Since 1930, there have n only four good seed years. Last year, the •sugar maples were loaded seed. These seeds are germinating now little maele seedlings are starting in wood - gardens, cultivated fields and lawns. Most these will die as they willTe growing in ces where a woodlot is not desired. How - r, along the edge of woodlands and inside woodlot, where there is protection and ce more favourable moisture condition, usands will successfully germinate and sur- e. Then if they are protected from grazing als and fire, they will develop and thereby rantee the perpetuation of the woodlot. Farmers who have continually ^put off fencing their grazed woodlat from livestock would be wise to act this year if they wish to secure the regeneration which will provide timber. for their successors on the land; --the timber which will play its part in contribut- ing towards the material end spiritual wealth of the owner, the con nunity, and the nation. The best part of natural reforestation (trees that grow from seed rather than planted seed- lings) is that it is . inexpensive—the only ex- pense being a fence to keep out the livestock. Nature offers us this year a bountiful sup- ply of seeds, without cost, inwcodloits which are doomed to vanish if grazing continues. Consider carefully if this investment is worth- while this year. Remember, we may not have another good crop of sugar maple seeds for several years.

It often happens that men who talk too much think too little. Only when citizens are aware of the fact that they, personally, have to pay for the cost of government and governmental services do they realize that they, personally, have responsibility in seeing to it that government is operated efficiently. So the Department of National Defence is buying back some of the "war surplus" the government was so eager to sell at low prices after World War II, We 'bet that the govern- ment overnment also wishes it still had a lot of those air training schools which were demolished and sold in such a hurry. Citizens were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Rev. W. Younger, pastor of Clinton and Auburn Baptist Churches. Com- ing home from a prayer service at Auburn on Tuesday evening, Mr. Younger took e seizure and his daughter, Miss Elinor, drove the remainder of the way home. Mr. Younger died early Wednes- day 'morning. Surviving are his wife, one son, Charles and one daughter, Miss Elinor. Rev. A. MacFarlane conducted a service at the Baptist Parsonage last evening, and the remains were forwarded to Burks Falls this morning, for service and ,inter- ment, Mrs. Younger and family accomponying. William Smith Harland, one of the oldest businessmen in Clin- ton, passed away in his 86th year. Surviving as well as an adopted daughter, Miss Mabel, are the following, nephews and nieces: W. J. Harland, A. T. Harland, Mrs. Kenyon, Mrs. Page, Mrs. Grant, Misses Ida, Marian and Amelia Harland, and Leonard J. Harland. The funeral was held from Wesley -Willis United church with Rev. A. A.

THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE A friend of the writer of this paragraph said "nuts". He was disgusted that, when our enor- mous drink bill was reported, no mention was made of the sub- stantial revenue from liquor Here it is. Canadian liquor bill for 1948 was $630,000,000. This in- cludes Ontario's bill of 5200,000,- 000. Revenue received in liquor taxes by Federal and Provincial governments amounted to $363,- 500,000. This includes Ontario's 536.000,000 liquor 'tax revenue. Unfortunately it takes 891/2 cents out of every dollar of tax revenue to provide the police courts, jails and hospitals to handle the re- sults of the liquor traffic. This takes no account of loss to in - dusty, broken homes and high- way accidents due to liquor. In the end the liquor traffic is a liability to everyone except the brewers, purveyors and stock holders. It is madness to sup- pose that a people can drink it- self into praspeawty.—Advlt. 20-b 40 YEARS AGO The Clinton News -Record Thursday, May 18, 1911 Officers of the Young 'Women's' Bible Class of Ontario St. Church are: president, Miss Elva.
