COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1949 "What Is So Rare?" And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever come perfect days; Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her werm ear lays; Whither we look or whither we listen • We hear life murmur and see it glisten. —JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL (1819-1891) See Your Name Is On The List speaks louder then words!" ere two old maxims which spring readily to mind, and now is the time to see that our talking is translated into action. One of the frist duties of a citizen is to exercise his franchise and to vote according to the dictates of his own conscience. The ballot, box has become the symbol of our free- dom. And yet, in our last Federal Election, more than 1,500,000 Canadians neglected this duty. If you want to make certain of voting, the first thing to do is to see that your name is on the Voters' List. Copies of these lists are available at Post Offices and from candidates' local committees. If your name is not on the List, consult these committees and have it added, or else, appear in person at the home of the enumerator for your polling division next Wednesday, June 9. That is the last day. "Vote as you like , . . but vote!" THREE WEEKS from next Monday — on Monday, June 27, to be exact — voters of Canada go to the polls to elect a Federal Government. The right to vote is a privilege that should not be overlooked lightly; it also is a responsibility. Recent years have brought into sharp focus the contrast between individual freedom' within the state andruthless exploitation of the individual by the state. In spite of the subversive activities of a small group, most Canadians today are genuinely convinced of the strength of our democratic system andthe need for keeping alive and glowing a full recognition of the blessings which we enjoy under our way of life. There exists a great need for full partici- pation in community activities and a full ac- ceptance of our duties as citizens of this great Dominion. "Talk is cheap!" and "Actions Remember The Shut-ins! CLINTON'S MAYOR, R. Y. Hattin, has proclaimed this coming Sunday, June 5, as "Shut-ins' Day" and calls upon all citizens to set aside the day for the purpose of being kind to those unfortunate persons who are forced to remain in bed or confined to house or hospital. z z z Rev. James M. Finlay, Toronto, has writ- ten this: "Sick! To those who think of sickness in terms of the periodic headache or the seasonal indisposition of a cold there is a whole world unknown to them. It is the world of close and lengthy confinement where folk who for one reason or another must view the world through the eyes of others. There remains for. the shut-in the newspaper, the radio, the personal visitation—these three—and the great- est of these is the personal visit, 'The setting apart, therefore, of the first Sunday of June, annually, by the Shut -Ins' Day Association, when the . invitation to visit at least two folk who are sick is given to us, is of more then ordinary significance. Not that one should ever feel he has discharged his full obligation by such observance one Sunday a year. It is but a token of our recognition and remembrance of the shut-in at all times. "Furthermore, let no one think that by making such visits we are conferring a favor upon those visited; In e very real sense just the opposite is true; they present us with a privilege; invariably they render us a service. There is no greater corrective for our distorted vision and false sense of values than to talk with one who has made and continues to make the skillful adjustment to the restraint and restriction that is the normal life of 'the shut-in, Anyone who has had the close friend- ship of one of these has experienced the en- largement of his own life. One comes to realize how feebly he exercises the full meas- ure of health and strength, full powers of body and mind which he possesses as com- pared with the amazing use that others make of their limited capital of these resources. Truly they live `a large life in a small room.' "In His Name who said: `I was sick, and ye visited me', let us unite in making the first Sunday of June a rare unforgettable day for the glorious company of the shut-in and for ourselves." Editorial Comment... Judging from a news story published on the front page today, the Ontario Department of Highways has given the "go" signal to the construction of blacktop pavement 'on the connecting links of King's Highways 4 and 8 through Clinton. As far as most citizens and others are concerned, the more quickly Town Council acts on this matter, the soon' will we have the benefit of much-needed pavement. FARM FORESTRY (By W. A. G. Thurston, Strat- ford, Zone Forester for Huron and Perth) (This article is the ninth 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 term, and for sale). When one is planning to plant trees, there are several factors to be considered, which will de- termine the choice of tree species to be planted: Generally, the choice of trees is limited to cert- ain. species which can grow on any particular type of soil. The use to which the trees are to be put further reduces the choice of trees. The services of a Zone Forest- er are available to all landowners who may have difficulty in select- ing the species of trees to. be planted. In fact, in the future, it may be necessary to have all tree orders approved by a Zbne Forest- er who will check to see that suitable trees have been ordered. It is not generally advisable to plant most species of hardwoods, as they are frequently difficult to grow. Rabbits often Cause heavy damage in hardwood plantations. However, hardwoods can be mix- ed with conifers in certain ceses, giving a mixed plantation. Species that are recommended for lumber production include red, white and ,jack pine, white and Norway spruce, white elm, white ash, silver maple and red oak. For fence posts, black locust and white cedars are desirable. However, .any of the pines or 1N. OUR •TIME !y Newis Hunt "It's the material shortage, you know - first come – first used."
