The Picturesque In Newfoundland
NOW THAT NEWFOUNDLAND is Can-
ada's tenth province and its rail, steamship
and telegraphic lines are operated by. the t an-
adian National Railways, the railway staffs in
other parts of Canada and the United States
have been handed some colorful community.
names and picturesque speech to deal with.
It will take ticket and tourist agents some
time to get used to names like Horse Chops,
Cape White Handkerchief, Ireland's Eye, and
Joe Batts Arm. Fishermen: from Britain,
France, Spain . and Portugal have the coves
and points around Newfoundland's coast the
names that now are the addresses for the hardy
people living In the far-flung outposts of the
new province.
Newfoundland has a Wesheltoiow, and Isle
aux Morts, Point Engagee, Cul de Sac and
Ctnq Cerq, Also .a Breakheart Point, Come-
by=Chance, Happy Adventure, Heart's Desire,
Heart's Content and Little Heart's Ease.
There ,are said to be at least 1,000. terms
of speech peculiar 1.0 Newfoundland. Mott
have to do with the sea • and ships and have
been carried over into common usage. A brag-
gart, for instance, is an "October Geller"; a
grave is a `long home";, grumbling is "mully-
grubs' flattery "plawmosh". A good man is
"as Pine a man as ever hove a gallus over
his shoulder"; while a thief is "an honest man
when there's only anchors on the shore." ..
Smaller Centres Preferable to Large
CANADA'S BIG CITIES are dangerously
vulnerable to bombing attack, declares The
Financial Post. Decentralization, it thinks
Would retake us safer and happier.
"Almost half of our people are crowded
into half a dozen overgrown urban centres.
Not only could a. handful of well placed atom
bombs kill or maim a large number of these
citizens almost instantly but the damage to
public services and food supply lines would
make life precarious for the rest of them.
"Many of our most vital industries and
services are jammed together. Within a stone's
throw of the two major railway stations in
Montreal a new long distance exchange for
overseas calls and an international aviation
building are being constructed. When the
present building program is completed in To-
ronto more than three-quarters of all that city's
hospital beds will be concentrated within a
few hundred yards. The extretnely vitei heavy
industries of Windsor and Hamilton offer a
most .tempting target to some enemy anxious
to make two bombs really count.
"Not only would we be safer and our
economy more stable if our population was
far more widely dispersed but life for all of
us might be simpler, happier and healthier."
We heartily agree—and we have lived in
a big city, too! It's pleasant towns, such as
Clinton and Rayfield, that should be increasing
in population and industry—all for the good
of the people and the nation as a whole.
Editorial Comment ...
THOUGHT FOR TO -DAY — The greatest
investment of life is to spend it for something
that will outlast it.
Despite an unfavorable weekend, seeding
in Huron County is now about 75 per cent
completed. If there are many more days like
yesterday, it won't be long.
Top price for hogs in Chicago Tuesday
was $18.75 per cwt., a new low since October
14, 1946. The ITS Government is pledged to
support hogs at $16.75, and a few weighing 290
to 340 pounds brought the support price.
Ontario's new margarine act will not be
proclaimed before the middle of May, accord-"
ing to Premier T. L. Kennedy, who stated the
Government had no desire to work a hardship
on manufacturers who have stocks on hand
that might contravene the proposed regula-
tions.
Although the exact starting time of day-
light saving varies from place to place, in all
cases It will go into effect before church this
Sunday morning, April 24. It's tough to lose
an hour's sleep, but we'll be able to get it
back in the fall. 'But be sure not to be
lath for church!
Farmers will be pleased to learn that the
Federal Government hes stepped into the but-
ter market in a move to stabilize prices, pur-
chasing first -grade butter at 58 cents a pound
wholesale; Personally, we stili place butter
rnore than furlong ahead of margarine for
taste, value, or anything else—but that's only
our opinion!
• Just when is this Federal election going
to take place? Now, they say, since British
Columbia is holding a provincial election on
June 15, the possibility of a national contest
in that month is virtually eliminated. On the
other hand, back in June 1945, a provincial
election was held in Ontario one week and
a Federal election the next.
"Clinton Clean-up Campaign" hes been
proclaimed by the Mayor for the next two
weeks --Monday, April 25, to Saturday, May 7,
inclusive. Let everyone do his or her part!
A special issue of The NEWS -RECORD is be-
ing published next week in connection with
the Campaign. All copy—whether advertising
or editorial—will be required early.
Althoulth the matter has been mentioned
on previous occasions, Clinton Public School
Board, at its April meeting, spent some time
discussing plans for a new school, and finally
instructed the Property Committee to confer
with the Town Planning Committee of Clinton
and District Chamber of Commerce regarding
a suitable site. This is a problem that the
ratepayers of Clinton will have to face squarely
sooner or later; perheps the sooner the better!
A new provincial Leader of the Progressive
Conservative Party, who thereupon will be-
come Premier of Ontario, will be chosen in
Toronto Wednesday next, April 27, on the con-
cluding day of convention of party stalwarts
called for that purpose. Four candidates al-
ready have declared themselves: Hon. Leslie
M. Frost, Provincial Treasurer; Hon. Leslie B.
Blackwell, Attorney -General; H n. Dana Por-
ter, Minister of Education; and A. Kelso
•Roberts; ex -MLA, Toronto, A fifth, Hon,
George H. Daunt., Minister of Highways, may
be in the running. May the best man win!

Farm Forestry
(By W. A. G.'Thurston, Strat-
ford, Zone Forester for
Huron and Perth)
(This article Is the fourth of a
series written for local farmers.
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 on the
farm and for sale).
The object of woodlot man-
agement is to secure a full stand
of valuable"r trees in as short a
period as possible. The woodiot
produces much valuable material
without the aid of improvement
work, but there will also be
grown many undesirable, crook-
ed and defective trees that could
have been eliminated.
Woodlots deteriorate in value
and quality if many common
practices are followed, The wood -
lot owner is working with a crop
that nature has planted, and there
are far more trees on an area
than necessary, The axe, rather
than the hoe, plough or culti-
vator, Is the tool that Is used to
secure a stand of thrifty, valu-
able trees which will grow at the
maximum rate.
The main requisites for woodlot
management ere the will to do
the work, and common sense. The
farmer with a woodiot of from
five to twenty acres should have
no difficulty following intensive
forestry practices in his manage-
ment, because he can utilize as
fuelwood the trees that are re-
moved to improve growing con-
ditions, and the work is done
during the winter months, when
other farm work is not pressing.
He also has spare time at this
season to do other improvement
work, that does not yield material
to pay the costs of the operation,
This work may be considered an
investment of time, which will
pay returns later in the increased
value of the timber.
Before we talk of the opera-
tions necessary for good woodiot
management, there are some
things that must be remembered.
These facts are the basis of wood-
lot management, and as such
should be familiar to ail form-
ers, Many are obvious, but often
not thought about;
1, Trees are a crop. They reach
maturity, decline in value and
eventue'liy die.
2, Trees will reseed and restock
en area it it is protected from
fire end livestock.
3. A woodlot without young
growth. is like a community of
old people—it will die out.
4. Close spacing is necessary in
young stands in order that
trees with long boles or trunks
free of side branches may be
grown.
5, A tree requires more space for
its crown and roots as it in-
creases in size,
6. The thinning of dense. stands
will increase the rate of wood
production, and produce more
valuable timber.
7. Various tree species vary in
their soil, moisture and light
requirements.
8. There is a great difference in
the value of the species, those
of least value being known as
weed trees.
9. A wood crop doe not need
ploughing, cultivation, fertiliz-
ing and the provision of seed
as other farm crops do, end
this should beconsidered when
compering the financial returns
of other farm crops with those
from .the woodlot,
