it Can Strike You .. But You Can Strike Back!
OPENING A MONTH'S CAIVIPAIGE' on
April 1, the Canadian Cancer Society will
seek $500,000 to carry en research Work, the
extension of diagnostic •end treatment facile
ides, educational work, and service to cancer
patients in Ontario, •
Funds are urgently required for the pro-
motion of research in Ontario into the cause
of cancer, and for the provision of fellowships
to enable qualified workers to cony on re -
se -arch projects. ,*
Six of the eight cancer treatment centres
now being assisted by the Ontario Cancer Re-
search and Treatment Foundation must have
larger quarters, and while Govermirent grants
will help to defray the costs of diagnosis and
treatment they cannot be used for clinic con-
struction. The clinic et the Toronto General
Hospital is one' of the eight requiring extra
space, and some of the money raised in the
April campaign will help to provide this space.
To most of us the word cancer is fear-
some. Those who know much about the disease
are no longer afraid. They are not afraid be-
cause they know that many types of cancer
can be controlled or cured if detected and
treated immediately by radium, X-ray or
surgery.
Doctors don't know what oauses cancer,
• br who may develop it, but ties a
scientists all over the world Me working to
find the cause and the cure. They need help
and.• they need money if they are to forward
the fight against the enemy,
• Part of the meney Collected will be Used
to further cancer research , . part of it will
be spent to provide help for those who now
have cancer . . part will go towardcarrying
'on the broad educational campaign on, cancer
to alert more of us against the killer in our
midst.
Cancer is to a great extent a community
problem because, while it is not a contagious,
infectious disease, -it is no respecter of . age,
race or sex. It strikes young and old, rich
and poor alike. It Is up to all to protect their
home, their friends and their neighbours by
giving generously to conquer cancer.
The educational, programme of the Can-
adian Cancer Society is designed to make all
adults familiar with the early symptoms of
those forms of cancer which can be treated
successfully if detected in the early stages.
It is hoped that there will be a member of
the Canadian Cancer Society in every home
in Ontario at the end of April. Contributions
, may be sent to Ontario headquarters, P.O.

Municipal Spending
WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK for municipal
finances if the uptrend in spending of the •
last ten ' years continues?
That's the question, says The Financial
Post, taxpayers are asking as they review the
report on 1948. In that year, net 'municipal
debt increased for the second successive year.
Revenue also climbed, with taxation of real
estate continuing to be the main sources.
It is in the higher level of expenditure --
26:9 per cent, over 1946—that analysts see
the- danger point. The question: Committed
to higher spending, what will they do if rev-
enues drop?
- Editorial Comment
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY—Trouble is only
opportunity in work clothes.
Latest signs at Ottawa seem to point to-
ward an early Federal Eleationt possibly on
June 27 or July 4. In fact, the betting seems
to be nearly two to one that it will take place
about that time, rather than in the autumn.
An encouraging sign to many hard-pressed
family heads is that the Official cost -of -living
index slipped three -tenths of a point during
February, extending a new downward trend
which began in November and marking the
first successive two-month drop in more than
three years.
Mayor R. Y. Hattin's idea of staging a
bang-up "Clean -Up Week” in Clinton this
spring is a meritorious one. With the co-
operation of the Chamber of Commerce and
other local bodies and the peoples themselves,
the plan should be successful. Let's have a
start—and soon!
Nearing 70, Hon. Russell T. Kelley, On-
tario Minister of Health, was stricken with a
heart attack in his office yesterday morning
and now is confined to hospital, Overwork
is given as the reason. Friends throughout
the Province—and they era legion—wish him
a speedy recovery.
Elsewhere in this issue, daylight saving
time is proclaimed in Clinton, to take effect
Sunday, April 24, and remain in effect until
Sunday, September 25. The City of Toronto
has gone further by extending "fast" time two
months longer until Sunday, November 27, to
effect a saving in hydro -electric power next
autumn. This might be an excellent idea for
our own authorities to consider, keeping in
mind the more -or -less recent power restric-
tions prevalent here.

ford, Zone Forester for Huron

(This article is the second of a

In too Many cases the .woodlot
is not considered a valuable
part of the farm. A woodlot
can be made a distinct asset
and can provide much material
that is of value for use o0 the
fern and for sale).
Although there are many wood-
Iots.,in this pert of Ontario, they
are not always an ideal example.
Many are second growth stands,
consisting of trees of the same
age; In other words, even -aged
stands.
Other woodlots are in very poor I
condition due to the presence of
many large, over -mature trees
which are preventing the growth
of more valuable specimens. .A
woodlot composed of over -mature

mals. Yes, trees need food, and
this is derived from the soil. If
this food is monopolized by weed
trees or over -mature, rotten trees
that are of low value., then young-
er trees suffer, as they need
large quantities of food to permit
fast growth.
These types oeivoocilots are far
from ideal, but with time and
proper management practices they
can be transformed into ideal
woodlots.
What is an ideal woodlot? It
is simply a woodlot in which are
found trees of all sizes end ages;
in other words, an uneven -aged
stand. You may ask why this
type is considered ideal. It is
because it - will produce a con-
tinuous supply for products for
many years to come,
' In an uneven -aged stand, there
will be trees, that are mature and
ready for cutting as sawlogs, and
there will be immature trees of
all different sizes. If the mature
trees are cut out, room is left
for the smaller ones. They can

a younger crop is given a chance.
Trees must be considered as a
crop, to be cut when mature or
ripe. No wise farmer leaves his
ripe grain uncut, or ripe apples
unpicked, but many leave mature
trees uncut, In fact, some farm-
ers take pride in the fact that
they cut nothing from their wood -
lots except the trees which die
and fan over. This is definitely
not wise management. One might
as well raise sheep, hogs or cattle
for market and refuse ot sell
them until they die, of old age.
To get the most from a woodlot,
trees should be cut when they
are mature and, when the market
offers a good, fair price.
The next article in the series
will deal with the protection of
a woodlot from various injurious
actors which may harm it,
