Rt. Hon. Louis •St. Laurent, Prime Minister Canada, in a statement, mid: "This Canada of ours is no ordinary ne- n. ' Made up es it is of peoples of different languages, culture, and sal g ous e s, stand's today as a great example of what can be 'accomplished as a result of our deep respect for and tolerance of the rights and opinions oaf others, 'despite ,all differences, "H the world is to have a really secure peace, if countries are to Sive in harmony, these conditions will come about only through the development among nations of the kind of partnership and understanding 'we have de- velopment mere in Canada, and through which we have made Canada a great and unfitted country," Canada is an example for the world; it is on tile road to true greatness if it follows the principles enunciated so ably by the Prime Minister! Civil Defence In Huron County, WHEN HURON COUNTY COUNCIL holds June Session, commencing at Goderich June one of the matters that likely will come fore it will be civil defence. A few weeks age, a meeting of represen- 'yes of several municipalities was held in 'neon with the object of doing something 'ng the lines of civil defence. A resolution s adopted calling upon the Federal and her g this line. Governments Copiesof t to e re olurutionaction were arded to both Governments and these were nowledged in due course. A further meet - <f a few representatives, including Chiefs Police •and Fire Chiefs, 'was held in Goderich ew days ago. Now, ell Mayors, Reeves and County War - Is in Ontario are the recipients of a letter m Hon. Arthur Welsh, Ontario Civil Defence -ordinator, stating that civil defence plan- e has progressed to the point where organ - tion on a county basis is now advisable. is type of organization would assure that nicipalities within the county can plan for ii defence on a mu'tu'al aid basis," the Men - r said. Mr. Welsh said no municipalities could be •ected to provide the necessary civil defence ices required for adequate protection :inst fire, etc., in the event of an enemy attack, without assistance from surround - municipalities. "Since municipalities may urgently require heed from surrounding communities, it is now felt advisable that a mutual aid plan be worked out on a county basis," he said. "We ante recommending that the largest urban centre within the county' accept the leadership iry�caunty planning, and that a meet ' ing be called of representatives from all com- munities. and a county Chivil. Defence committee be formed to co-ordinate the Civil Defence committees already existing within the county, and to encourage the formation of committees where these do not, exist. "It is suggested that rural conunune/1es, , which have net already formed Civil Defence committees, co-operate with their county vein - ell and complete plans for a co-ordinated ef- fort, so if called upon to receive evacuees from target areas, the necessary plans will be in existence. "When arrangements have beets completed for a county meeting, personnel from the Civil Defence Branch of the Provincial Secretary's Department will be available to attend and render assistance in overall planning if re- quired." The need for a competent civil defence organization in Huron County exists, and the time of actual use may be closer than any- of us might realize. No time should be lost by the County Cornell in implementing the On- tario Government's ideas on the subject. One -Quarter Of Our National Income THIS IS NATIONAL FOREST CONSPR- TION WEEK. It is not a fund-raising pra- t but rather a fund -preserving project. The returns tem Canada's forests represent quarter of every dollar in circulation in nada. Destroy the forests and 25 per cent' Canada's nation income would disappear. • ect the forests, and you are conserving the rte of a quarter of Canada's income and, ause of the vast new development in such ngs as celleulose and other uses for wood res, you are protecting, something which may even more valuable in the future. Over the years the users of forests have rued the value of proper forest management. all companies yet practise sound forestry icies, but there is a growing realization in industry that our forests are an. Investment to be protected and wisely used. Consequently, our greatest threat to forests today comes from a careless and thoughtless public. • Governments end industries spend miiliens of dollars on protective services, yet one careless tamper with a camp fire can start a fire which will destroy millions of trees, To inform the public about forests and to urge everybody to use care when visiting forest areas is the purpose of this National Forest Conservation Week, All Canadians, youmgesnd old, should be forest -conscious. Every school child should have his or her own copy of "The Children's Book of Trees", which tells the forest story so colorfully and humorously, as well as factually,. Death Seems So Final A SPLINTERING OF WOOD, a dull thud tragedy descended upon a little group of iclreso who, but a moment before, had made playground re-echo with their happy shouts. The heavy beam which had formed part a playground swing was lifted from the 'ken body of a little child. Death drew a fain across a life scarcely begun. The shock and grief which darkened the ld's home may be imagined; the loss to the nmunity was inestimable. Such an accident could happen here.' Play- und equipment, even in perfect condition something of a hazard. In poor condition mites disaster. The same is true of equip- nt in your own yard. If accidents are eo be prevented, the -best equipment must be provided and we must 1st on its periodic inspection. Also there aid be competent playground supervision. This spring is a good time to see to it ,t our children at play are as 'cafe as is nanly possible.

P1121 MONTH OF .TUNE will see a six -way 'tie-up on a nation-wide basis of the levels of business interested in 'the marketing of dairy products. Under the slogan, "June is Dairy Month," dairy producers, processors, distribut- ors, manufacturers, Wholesalers and retailers will combine in relating dairy foods to summer diets and menus.
