L.COLDAY at CINTON, Ontario, Canada, in , Plant Manager THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1949 Open To Abuse are among the most radio -minded of all poli- ticians, Control of the ardio system has been high in the primary objectives of every coup d'etat by extreme right or extreme left. It is therefore very important that radio be kept absolutely free from actual or poten- tial domination by a political party. In Canada the actuality is not here, but the potentiality is. Through the CBC, the government of 'Canada has complete control over broadcasting. The legal right to seize all radio and run it as a government propaganda monopoly hes been written right into the Act. Should this temp- tation prove greater than the integrity of some future government, we would only have our- selves to blame. An honest man will walk past an open window, a thief is likely to climb through it. The thing to do is keep the window closed in the first place. RADIO HAS DONE A LOT to change electioneering. Before 'radio made things easier for the candidate, he won or lost on his platform manner end his press coverage; and since the percentage of those who can be bothered attending politicval meetings was no higher then than now, the majority of voters made up their minds on the strength of what they read. With the arrival of radio it became pos- sible for a political candidate to project his voice and a good deal of his personality right into the voter's home. While this gives the electorate a better idea of the man seeking their votes, there is the drawback that empty or even subversive policies can be sold to the emotionally vulnerable by a syrupy voice. Dictators, who got that way through a com- bination of brute force' and applied psychology, When You Are On Your Own GRADUATING FROM SCHOOL and uni- versity this spring are youths who will be Canada's statesmen, business executives, union leaders, and master craftsmen. Others will be her doctors, surgeons, lawyers, engineers and research wizards. Thousands will become clergymen and teachers. Some will represent Canada to the world in their music, art and writing. Nobody now living knows who they are, or how their development will come about. When their formal education ends, they are on their own, and who gets where and how soon is up to them. But one thing is certain: there are places of honour Rnd usefulness to be filled, and some of this year's graduates are going to fill them. Events are shaping now, this very month, bringing into being new professions and new careers, states the current 'Monthly Letter of The Royal Batik of Canada. There is 'no need for young men and young women to go looking . for some wonderland. There are enthralling jobs to be done, exciting solutions to be found, on this side of the Looking Glass end at this end of the Rabbit Hole, if youths will put their minds — end bend their backs -- to the 'job. This Monthly Letter is dedicated to young people in search of a future. Their School Commencement is a point of departure. They have reached maturity in the eyes of their families and friends. They are on their own, now, and must justify the faith of their par- ents. From here on it is their own ability, energy, initiative and enterprise that counts. These are things that count particularly in a young country like Canada. Enterprise and initiative must be a living part of a de- veloping country—enterprise to find new re- sources or new uses for known resources, and initiotive to develop' the opportunities into actualities. Estimates IT IS TO BE HOPED that when the town bylaw, striking the local tax rate, is passed, presumably at next Monday evening's Town 'Council meeting, some details of the year's estimates will be provided the press and the public, It seems only fair that the people who pay the bills should be informed as to (By W. A. G. Thurston, Strat- ford, Zone Forester for Huron and Perth) (This article is the sixth 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). how Council plans to spend their money on the various departments of the town's activities. A comperision with actuel expenditures made in 1948 also might prove interesting—and pos- sibly valuable—to the taxpayers. "Keep Clinton Klean!" Don't forget Clin- ton Clean-up Campaign has been extended for one week until Saturday, May 14; FARM FORESTRY In a second -growth woodlot, with trees ranging from two to four inches in diameter, another phase of management must be considered. This is the practice of thinning. In a woodlot thet at one time was clear-cut, nature has restocked the area with a new crop of trees. In most cases, the growth is very dense, with the trees growing quite close to- gether. In order to get the max- imum amount of growth from this area, some of the trees must be thinned out. The idea of thinning In a wood - lot is similar to thinning carrots in a garden. Certain specimens must have more room in which to grow. There is only a certain amount of food avail - able in the soil, and if a large number of trees ere competing for this, none of them will grow very fast. However, if some trees ere removed, more food will be available for the remaining trees and their growth rate will increase greatly. This has been proven in the woods many times over. Perhaps one of the most striking proofs is the following: Studies were made of beech growing in two different woodlots. One woodlot was well managed, using forestry principles; the other' was not. From the managed woodlot, a beech 12 inches in diameter was cut and found to be 85 years old. A tree of a similar diameter from the unmanaged woodlot was 135 years old. This shows how the rate of growth was speeded up by use of thinnings. The axe or saw is the only means of controlling growth rate in a woodlot. In growing other crops, rate of growth can be im- proved by use of fertilizers and cultivation. This is 'not so in a woodlot. Only by removing trees where they are crowded can growth rate be stimulated. The material secured from a thinning operation can be utilized for firewood and two objects are fulfilled as result of this work. The Department of Lands and Forests is setting up thinning demonstration plots in some woodlots through the co-operation of the owners. These plots are thinned out and measurements taken on the trees. Beside the thinned plot is located another plot of similar size which is not thinned. Thus, over a number of years, a comparison of growth rate behind the thinned and un - thinned plots is found. This is a means of demonstrating in a practical way the value of thin- ning in a woodlot. Plots established in hardwood stands for this purpose are locat- ed as follows: Huron County— Stanley Township, Bayfield Road South, Lot 6, owned by Harold Jackson, Seaforth; Perth County —Logan Township, Concession VI, Lot 2, owned by Robert McBride, Stratford; Oxford County—Blen- heim Township, concession 111, Lot 5, owned by the County of Oxford.
