THURSDAY at CLINTON, Ontario, Canada, in the Heart of Huron County R. S. ATKEY, Ediboi A, L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, ;195.1 Practical Urban -Rural Cooperation FROM TIME TO TIME there is a good deal of talk about cooperation between the rural and urban sections of the community— between farmers and townspeople. And we think we have a reasonably healthy state of affairs existing in this section of the Province. It is probable that the cause of good rural - urban relations was furthered somewhat by the October meeting of Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce. This took the form of a turkey dinner which was held Wednesday evening last in the Community Hall, Londes- boro, with the ladies of Londesboro Women's Institute turning out to be high-class caterers. It certainly was a splendid fowl supper of the real old-fashioned kind, with sliced turkey in pIatef0Ts being the order of the repast. Perhaps the excellence of the meal placed everyone in a mellow mood for the proceed- ings which followed. Members of the Coun- cils and officials of the four townships border- ing on Clinton, had been invited and were very welcome guests. In the discussion which occurred, their voice, individually and collect- ively, proved invaluable. IN THE EARLY DAYS of Canadian historythe five Eastern provinces of Canada— Newfoundland was not in the family then— were one solid forest. Oh, yes, there must have been breaks here: and there, for at times, even in those days, storms tumbled the trees or tares st.iept bare a small portion ' of this Immense area, I was born in the County of Huron. Even when I arrived on the scene it was .a land of magnificent forests. On the old farm back home we had elm, maple (sugar 'maple) bass- wood, a few hemlock, beech, birch, cherry and k an odd butternut or two, they sought the shad- ed areas. A creek ran through the farm. We called it a river for creeks looked large to us, especially when they were just a bit too deep to wade across. On the other side of the creek there had been a great forest of cedar—monstrous trees. I never saw them in their full glory. They were burned before I arrived on the scene, but the stumps and pertly burned trunks gave evi- dence of their size. When I recall these trees of the early days I wonder why we have for- gotten the men who did the clearing. Surely they were worth remembering, worth, honor- ing. They made a great contribution to our national life, Thete is only one way to pay tribute to them. In every county in Ontario, perhaps in every township, there should be at least one forest memorial to the pioneers. The cost need not be great. The finest farming land need not be selected for the purpose. Broken land with a stream running 'through it would do very well. So too would hilly lend. ' In course of time, there would name the harvest. The land which produced these mighty forests could do it again. The crop would be harvested. It would simply be One of the subjects diaeussed was the parking problem as it exists in the Town of Clinton. The present bylaw calls for parallel parking on the streets of the.business section, with the result that less cars are capable of being parked in any one block than formerly, when angle parking was allowed. Naturally, this question has been a live one in town ever since the parallel systeni came into being. It is sufficient to state that the matter was discussed at length end a committee appointed to draw up recommendations to Clinton Town Council at a later date. But the important feature of the discussion was that rural, as wellas urban, residents pul- led. their full weight, in the discussion, The ideas advanced by the former, who must find places to park in Clinton, proved most helpful to the residents of the town in coming to a decision. Their arguments were sensible and well-received, and had considerable bearing on the decision to seek a further review of the parking problem by the Town Council. It was just another example of what rural -urban cooperation can and should achieve. In Memory Of The Pioneers (By R. J. Deaehmau, Ottawa, ex -MP for Huron North) a case of removing the fully matured trees leaving the younger ones to develop later. This would be a permanent forest, the harvest would be a continuous one. The income from these forests might be' used to develop_other forests. In time the land best suited for grow- ing trees would be contributing building mater- iels and earning a revenue for the county. These are primary uses of wood. Some day we may have a wood standard of living in which wood provides new products for the use of man. Even from the agricultural standpoint there is a value in this policy. The object would be to nab all land for the purpose for which it is best fitted. The "good land would still be farm- ed. Pasture land would be used for that pur- pose. The broken land would go beck into forests. Then on the gate of each Forest Mem- orial would be a plaque signifying that this is a Memorial Forest, a memorial to the pioneers who, in the earlier days of our history, clear- ed the land, built their homes and made the Canadian people a nation of home lovers. These scattered forest areas in every county would add to the comfort and, enjoyment of life, Even now in some counties the springs are drying up, The forest areas would be of increasing value from year to year. This idea is almost equally applicable to the West. There the wide open prairie land can be reforested. The object is the same to make the people of each province rich and happier because of better surroundings. "If modern technology replaced out- dated methods now in use, if all forest waste were processed, if forests were no longer mined but grown, the world would witness a startling industrial phenomenon. Front "The Coming Age of Wood" by Egon Gleisinger, Hunters Advised To Take Proper Care (Ontario Department of Lands and Forests). animals. - Closed seasons for certain species of game animals, such as mink or muskrat, are enacted for protection of the animal during the period in which they are having their young. The protection of these various ani- mals to a certain degree guarantees a perpet- ual yield year after year. Where climate or other influences decreases an animal or bird population, then of course a shorter season -is generally imposed and, if advisable, added re- strictions dealing with the method of harvest- ing are put in force. Bag 'limits for both game end game fish are still quite generous in Ontario through proper management. The hunter or fisherman who takes short cuts to procure his fish or game is not getting the real sport from his day's outing; he actually is what one would call a plate hunter, Many years ago a reason- able subsistence could he bad from the then bountiful game and fish resources of our Pro- vince, but with increased population and easy aecessability through good roads etc., Govern- ment management was brought into being. Southern Ontario predominaietely is pat- ehted land and under agricultural practices. Every hunter, therefore, should ask permis- sion tram lalidowners before commencing to hunt, remembering of course common good be- haviour such as closing gates and going around grain fields. Remember, during your hunt, that you are a guest of the landowner and how you conduct yourself to -day will tell the story of hose you will be received bark again to- morrow. FISHING RODS and gear are stored once again for another year. With cleening and oiling of reels etc. before storage, the sports- man, probably at the same time, will give his hunting equipment the once-over. Faithful old Joe, the hunting dog, no doubt about this time will start to receive more attention after hay- ing spent a quiet restful summer : under the shade tree in the back yard. Hunters are urged by the Fish and Wild- life Division of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests to acquaint themselves with the Ontario Game and Fisheries Laws. If in doubt, do not take a chance; get in touch with the local Conservation Officer (R. R. Bel- linger, Clinton), who is always willing to help A you with any questions pertaining to fish and wildlife Laws or other matters with respect to fish and wildlife in general„ Some of the laws in the Game and Fisheries Act are for the protection of the hunters them- selves such as the section prohibiting the carry- ing of loaded firearms in or on motor cars, or shooting across a Highway, Each year many lives are lost or serious injuries received by hunters disregarding these two logical safety measures. Remember, when you are carrying e firearm, it is a potential instrument of death if not handled properly; on the other hand the seine firearm Can give many enjoyable hours of sport and recreation if safety is practiced. Many hunters do not take time to reason why some laws are made with respect to game A Dollar's Worth IN TERMS of its prewar buying power, th,e Canadian dollar is now worth about 53 cents . or, more accurately, that is what it was worth on August 1, when the east of living index stood at 188.9. This, of course, is an average figure, The value varies according to circumstances; specifically, , it ell depends on what a person buys. When it is used to pay the grocery bill, tie 1051 dollar (es of August 1) is worth only 40•cents, compared . with the prewar species. The food sub -index, highest of all the official living -cost factors, is up to 251.4. Today's dollar is worth 71% cents as rent money butit will buy only 49 cents' worth of clothing. Spent on fuel and light, it's worth 671/4 cents; for home furnishings and services, a fraction more than 50 cents, When building a home, it buys only 343/4 cents' worth of ma- terials.For such miscellaneous items as streetcar fares, health charges, theatre admis- sions and newspaper rates, it's worth an aver- age of 69% cents. Editorial Comment... Advertising is sort of like a man journey- ing through life. Just like the man, advertis- ing accomplishes little without persistence. This is the season for overlapping sports. Baseball, rugby and hockey all were played on Saturday --rather an unusual situation. Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin- burgh won their way into the hearts of ail in Ontario and Quebec. They now are touring Western Canada. It was a very tough break indeed which lost the first of the, OBA Midget finals for Clinton Lions here Saturday afternoon.

Conversa- tion at social gatherings, over the counter, on the phone—every- where — begins, "Have you seen her?" Everyone wants a glimpse of Princess EIizabeth. We ad- mire Her Royal Highness be- cause she is so wholesome and so charming. Being well versed in world affairs yet a typical young mother, Princess Elizabeth sets an ideal example. As the movie cameras were be- ing reeled we began thinking of the pictorial story as it would be reviewed at home with the King and Queen. We, too, shall await a close view on the screen of our Princess whose peaohes- and-cream complexion and gen- uine smile have been , the envy of all, Speaking of peaches, we hope the photographers will take pic- tures of our luscious Ontario fruits and vegetables. Now if you were fortunate enough to be entertaining the Princess and her husband what would; you pre- pare? We •believe something simple and typiosil!ly Cjainadian would be enjoyed more than elaborate fare. We can think of an attractive fruit salad with fresh blueberry muffins and a dessert of whole wheat waffles with maple syrup; lake trout fried in butter with a tossed green salad and a dessert of ap- ple pie with old cheese; a colour- ful hot vegetable plate, rolls with lots of butter, and a delicious ice cream sundae for, dessert. The beverage may be ' tea or coffee but it should be fresh and pip- ing hot. Evidently the Royal family have no preference since they have been rationed to a limited amount,, TEA 1. There are three kinds of tete: Black (leaves that are ferment- ed, heated and dried), Green (not fermented), an Oolong (from Formosa). 2. Orange Pekoe refers to the size of tea leaf. Pekoe indicates a larger leaf than orange pekoe. 3. Tea bags can be purchased in 1 or 2 cup packages which pro- vide exact measurement. Bulk tea Is a little less expensive. 4, Tea loses flavour if it is not kept airtight. One pound should yield- 150 to 200 cups. 5. To make a good cup of tea use a spotlessly clean teapot.. Heat the teapot by filling with boil- ing water for a few minutes. Then pour out water and add measured tea, 1 teaspoon for each cup.

COFFEE 1. Coffee is a blend of roasted beans. (These beans are grown in different countries.) Most people buy either drip or reg- ular grind depending on their type of coffee maker. Use drip for vacuum makers and drip.- olators end regular for percol- ators and coffee jugs. 2. We can also buy dry coffee concentrate and frozen coffee concentrate both of which have been favorably accepted. Use these mixtures according to the directions on -the bottles. 3. A coffee maker should be thoroughly clean. (Stains in the coffee pot can ruin the taste.) 4. Use a measured quantity of freshly boiled water in the cof- fee maker. Use enough coffee for the desired strdngth. For medium strength use 2 "meas- uring" tablespoons for each cup of water. Let it "perk" from 3 to 5 minutes—no longer. By the way, never let a ninth fil- ter become dry and never wash it with soap — these are two reasons why coffee does not "go down" Coffee may also stay In the upper bowl if it has been brewed too long or if a smell amount is being made in a large bowl. a P1 !I It sl fl air 11li1ll11!!1II! 1'R! 1'i1"f 11Ilai'1iii1111111Qil1l1 i11?'Gr111':'ll is.

NAN FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE CAN BE BUILT ON INSTALMENT PLAN Very Small Down -Payment Starts; Yaw Off In Fascinating Hobby — Collecting Bonds "Despite the high cost of living thatoften makes saving seem impossible, a good many people: have found a way to build a scald nest -egg for the future," according to Wil- liam Robinson, Clinton, manager for. the Bank of Montreal. In the course of a conversation. yesterday on the subject of building financial independence, r. Robinson asserted that the first requisite to saving money was to "go into debt to yourself for a definite amount, no matter how small." "The best way I know to go about; this is to sign your- self up for •a Canada Savings Bond—in whatever amount you feel you can squeeze out of your income over a year— of $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 denomination." "You can buy a bond on the instalment plan with a very small down -payment. For- example, with as little, as $2.50 down you can make the first` payment on a- $50' band. On a $100 bond the down payment is $5, The remaining instalments can be made on an easy, regular basis over the following 12 months;" ' A special feature of the 1951 issue is the high rate of interest, the B of M manager emphasized. Each bond. bears 10 coupons at the rate of 3.5 per cent a year. The first coupon covers a period of 21 months (equal to 2 per cent per annum), due August 1, 1953. From that date, one coupon at 3.5 per cent is payable annually on August 1, until 1962. This replaces the old rate of 2.75 per cent and amounts to 3.21 per •cent over the life of the bond, Mr. Robinson said that thousands of B' of MI customers across Canada were building up a nest -egg of Canada Sav- ings Bonds on the instalment plait, and he extended an in- vitation to the residents of Clinton district to take advent - ' age of this plan at his office. "And," he added, "you• don't gamble when you buy a Canada Savings Bond—you invest in a sure thing." 42 -le - You.
