DRURY URGES REFORESTATION
SCHEME
Former Premier of Ontario `!'ells of
Benefits Accruing IfHuronCounty
Adopts Tree Planting Program
11. C. Drury, formee premier of
Ontario, was guest speaker at a God-
erich rural relations dinner ''held by
the Board of Trade and attended by
130 businessmen and farmers from all
sections. of Huron. •
Alongside Mr. Drury at the head
table was" Nelson Monteith, of Perth
County, minister of agriculture in the
Whitney Government, These two men.
were students together at the O,A,C.
back in 1902 and were members of
a committee of young men which gave
the reforestation movement its start
in this province. Both were pioneers
in referestry.
Mr. Drury spoke by request on re-
forestation in order to give impetus
to a campaign, in Huron. In his ad-
dress he urged that 16 per cent of
Huron's rural lands be reforested. At
the present many of the townships
have less than five --per cent and sone)
as low as two per cent in wooded
areas, it was said.
Speaker said a much better phy-
sical country than at the present
would develop for future generations
through reforestation and restoring
waste lands to. forest. Profits would
accrue, 'as well as secondary benefits
such as the prevention of soil erosion:.
A. careful survey of the county was
urged with a well defined program
for the County Council. The former
premier said that 1,000 acres planted
in bush would in 60 years net a profit
of $100,000.

TUCKERSMI'PH BOY TELLS
WOMEN HOW TO FIX CARS
Neil Tyndall, son. of Mr. and Mrs,
Harry Tyndall, Tuekersmith, and a
brother-in-law of Mrs. E. MacLeod,
Clinton, is conducting one o f the
first classes for woman auto mechan-
ics at H. B. Beal Technical School,
London. The curriculum, which ex-
tends over 15 weeks, has been drawn
up by Mr. Tyndall, and he is con-
ducting the classes.
In a recent issue of the Globe ante
Mail appears •a picture of Mr. Tyn-
dall instructing his class and a story
of the work he is doing, which reads
in part, as follows:
"Adajice to the man of tomorrow
whose car refuses to budge on a
frosty -morning: Don't call a garage.
Call your wife. If she is one of the
students of motor mechanics at the
H. B. Beal Technical School night
classes for women auto trouble are
at an end; likewise garage bills.
"And to the soldier of today the
same advice halde good in sub-
stance. Be careful when tempted to
prod, or use language unbecoming a
gentleman, to the uniformed figure
that lies in the dust under the chas-
sis of an ambulance' It may well be
a graduate of the women's course In
motor mechanics who has taken time
off from driving her ambulance to
"find that squeak -blast itl"
"Of the forty women who have en,
rolled in the special motor mechan-
ics course that began last
night,the
majority are preparing for war am-
bulance work. Others are preparing
themselves to take over transporta-
tion and mechanical jobs should a
war emergency demand that they
man the trucks, while their tusbands,
brothers and sweethearts hold the
Maginot Line.
"Should the male species be inclin-
ed to scoff at a course in motor me
-
armies for the weaker sex, let them
peruse the curriculum as drawn up
by Neil Tyndall, instructor, and S.
E. Golding, director of the automo-
bile department of the school. Te,
begin writhe the fair mechanics will
study the purposes of the various en-
gine units, such as pistons, connect-
ing rods, cylinders and the other
things that make the car go.
"Through oil and grease and fifteen
'easy lessons' that will entail as
many weeks, the women students
will familiarize themselves with the
'operation of the four-stroke cycle
!engine and' the intricacies of the ig-
nition system." ,

E. Parry ''again addressed a com-
munication to council regarding as-
sessment of Toespb, Allison and spoke
to"his communication. He was advised
to present his plea at the Court of
Revision.
Routine committee reports, includ-
ing that of the Finance Co'mmittee,
were accepted without comment.
Councillor Waters said that during `his
campaign for the mayoralty he had
been asked by a number of house-
holders when the practice of 'giving
meal tickets ' to transients would' cone -
Mince. He wsinformed that this
was being dope now in a quiet way
but it was not council's wish to ad-

police office.
