ATKEY, Editor' THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1949 The Manitoulin Island Decision "The vote was not so much a demand for more facilities. for supplying beet and liquor, as a protest against a So-called temperance Yneasure which, in practise, afforded no control aver the liquor • traffic at all. 'Under the Canada Temperance Act, there was no prohibition against the importationor the drinking of intoxicants, but merely egainst the legal sale. The result was that there was illegal sale on ar formidable scale, and the bootleggers sold to anyone who was prrepared to put up the necessary cash without any eye to the • con- sequences." The Canada Temperance Act was passed by the Dominion Parliament in 1878 to meet emergency conditions existing at that time, Many Ontario counties quickly voted it into force in the belief that its provisions would entirely eliminate the sale of alcoholic bev- erages, which was quite a lot to expect, human nature being what it is. The Act might ' be strengthened to do a better job than it is doing at the present time, as it provides no penalty whatever for selling or supplying liquor to minors, drinking in public places, or drunkenness. It seems to be a pretty hard law to enforce. Its lack of enforcement in the District of Manitoulin appeared to be ofie of the main arguments advanced by those opposed to its repeal. However, to date, we have heard no par- ticularly loud -spoken demand for repeal of the CTA in the County of Huron. AFTER A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN in which some things were said that perhaps shouldnot have been said, the people of Mani- toulin District, by 'a margin of two to one, in 1Vlond.ay's plebiscite, decided in favour of the repeal of The Canada Temperance Act, and ostensibly in favour of Ontario's Liquor Co;t.- trol Act. The District has been under the CTA since 1914. The only portions of Ontario now left under Cerlada Temperance Act jurisdiction are Huron County, Perth County (except the City of. Stratford), end Peel County, which decided against repeallast year. These counties could be considered to be in a rather different position than Manitoulin Island. They are reasonably close to legal sources of supply, and legal methods exist for transporting the beer •and liquor into them, i.e. in a licensed carrier. • For this reason, that those who desire to drink legally are sable to secure their supplies legally, there has been little or ' no demand from people of this type to have The Canada Temperance Act repealed in Huron County. Apparently, one of the main reasons for the decision of the good people of Manitoulin in favour of repeal was to attempt to eliminate a large number of bootleggers from the blend. It was not, we are led to believe, the result of a desire for an opening -up of the liquor business. The London Free Press put it this way; Editorial Comment... ' THOUGHT FOR TO -DAY - You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. --Lincoln. Election Day soon will be here; in fact, it will be only five weeks from Monday next. When your hands are on the wheel, your life is in your hands. Take it easy. The time to prevent an accident is before it happens. To check accidents -check your car -and double check your driving, Clinton Collegiate Institute Cadets, who were adjudged the best in their class in West- ern Ontario last year, again made an excellent showing at their annual inspection Thursday evening last. It's a fine thing for, any school to possess a good cadet corps. Although long-delayed through several circumstances, the official opening of the new wing of Clinton Public Hospital on Hospital Day, Thursday afternoon last, by Thomas Pryde, MLA for Huron, proved a gala event. And the weather was at its very springlike best! The NEWS -RECORD is in receipt of a copy of the official handboolc, "Cenada 1949," issued by the Minister of Trade and Com- merce. Profusely illustrated and with a num- ber of reproductions in colour, it presents in concise form, a survey of the nation's growth and its economic, social and cultural progress.

Harvesting the woodland crop et the proper time is as much a part. of woodlot management as are •improvement cutting and thinning. When trees are ready to cut, the best way of harvesting is for a farmer to cut the trees him- self and sell the logs. The prac- tice of selling logs on the stump is generally unsound. It may result in excessive damage to young growth if a mill operator does the cutting. However, if a farmers cut his own trees, he can take steps and care to keep the damage to young growth to a minimum. If logs are to be sold by the Doyle Rule, it will not pay a farmer to cut and sell the smal- ler sized trees, as he will not get full value for his logs. Small trees of ten or twelve inches in diameter will increase greatly in value in the next few years if left to grow, Trees of that size, when they have increased three inches in diameter will more than double their board foot volume. (By W. A. G. Thurston, Strat- ford, Zone Forester for Huron and Perth) (This article is the eighth of a series written for local farmers, In too many cases the woodlot is not considered a valuable pert 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). An important part of woodlot management is the harvest of the tree crop. Trees must be harvest- ed es must all other crops. It is when you start to cut the trees in a well managed woodlot that increased financial returns may show up. Higher quality products will have been grown, thus bring- ign a higher price on the m'a'rket. Trees should be cut • when they are mature, otherwise decay will set in and a lower price must be taken for logs or wood with rot present. The practice of cutting only dead or dying trees is fool- ish and economically unsound. Every tree that is not cut at ma- turity, and allowed to rot, repre- gents lost money to the farmer. double their volume is much shorter than the length of time it has taken to grow to ten or twelve inches. Thus, it can be readily seen that it will pay a farmer to leave the smaller, healthy trees until they reach a more profitable size, The Department of Lands and Forests, through their Zone For- esters, will mark trees for cut- ting for any land owner, thus enabling a farmer to be sure that the trees he cuts will make his operation economically profitable. Before selling logs, it will often pay a farmer to make inquiries of log buyers es to prices, so that he may get the hest prices possible for his logs. Sound marketing principles will help to make woodlot management more appealing to everyone. Thus, if a farmer, by shopping around, can secure a higher price for his pro- duct, he will benefit more from his management practices.

George VanHorne was present- ed with a Past Master's jewel at the meeting of Mount Olivet Lodge, Thorndale. E. Rozell, C. Verner, W. Clem- ent, G. VanHorne and Frank THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE The result of the Manitoulin vote would appear that the peo- pie of the Island, whether they realize it or not, are asking for more widespread sale of alco- holic beverages provided under the Ontario Liquor Laws. Many sincere people accepted the wet propaganda and voted for re- peal because they failed to see that the ones who were pressing the issue were those who were not nearly so concerned about bootlegging as in getting into business for themselves. If the Islander's think that bootleg- ging conditions will now dis- appear they are in for a sad shock for they only have to look at other areas of Ontario where the Liquor Control Act is in force to see thele is no control. The alcohol problem can only be improved by less drinking, not more, and we predict that more Liquor will be consumed its Manitoulin Island this year than at any time in it's history because of freer sale. More drinking anywhere means more accidents, more poverty, more crime and more murder. The CTA is an effective law and any failure is due to the authorities lack of enforcement.

Wood deteriorates when the paint wears off. A broken post undermines the whole fence. It pays to make your repairs promptly. That goes for indoor improvements, too. You save money, time and material, by attending to hone repairs right away - before the damage gets worse. And every improvement adds to your comfort and to your pride in your home.
