Distribution is your real problem - not buying or • producing.

Tiffin, of W. P, 5.) The first settlers in Ontario, Brit- ish Columbia, Quebec and the . Mari- time .Provinces, though at that time there was too attach timber and lum- ber in the land in which they had yo. build their homes and tediously clear the land for farming, but of later years the problem of having enough forests to provide the much increased population with all the necessities sriade from this product, has arisen, This is certainly because of the dam- age by fire and other enemies. Thus it is necessary to have all precaution taken. Besides the real use of timber much is consumed by fire, decay and in- sects, Great fires in British Colum- bia, Northern Ontario and New Brunswick have caused millions of dollars' of loss. Much of this timber was fir, spruce, birch and pine. To get the coal from the deep veins of the shines timber is . used for props to. hold up the mine. The railroad and telegraph companies require ties and poles. Even lead pencils require more than would be thought. More than teaacresof pine made into pa- per is used to edit one edition of the Star 'Weekly. If , everyone of these things are to be had this natur- al resource must be helped., After .tixnber has been taken off tracts of land, reforestration is not taken up, therefore not all the land that, could.be,:is not busy. Canada does not import ;much raw timber, but• imports some manufactured arti- cles of timber. The erection of .homes and buildings is carried on ex- tensively now. Many things' are ne- cessities to us, while they are 'luxur- lies to other countries because' they have not had them. If we are . to continue to have our. so-called ne- cessities our forest .land must be con - 'served. 4 If our population is to increase a goodly supply of timber ;must be in readiness or we shall have to use im- ported timber which willsnake the cost of living higher than at present. If our supply is to be constantly drawn 'or more trees must be plant- ed and care taken to 'prevent fires. After forest fires many years pass before nature can reforest,,,the areas. Many fires are caused by the careless- ness of tourists and campers, such as throwing lighted matches away or leaving camp fires. Boy. Scouts and Girl Scouts become acquainted with the forest in hikes and want to pro- tect them. All fires ought to ,be put out before left ani every means taken to prevent the timber dry wood to get a start, because the, forest rang- ers if -they do find the fire can hardly ever battle against the racing flames. Why doesso much stress need to be put on, being careful? Because we could not do without our natural re- sources. The insects are great enemies of 'the trees and much loss is caused. ev- ery year by thein. If nothing were ...�. 'done to prevent this snore loss would '.be the result. What are the little 1i32, birds for? They play agreat part in saving Canada's forest : land by de- vouring these pests. Is your health important? Most people think ;so',, anal not realizing that a tree's health is also important. Many diseases • af- fect the trees. If food; water and air cannot reach the trunk the tree sick- ens and gradually dies. Many boys when in the woods hack at the normal again trunks of trees. If muck is done at The Bureau of Standards experts, oneit will, most likely die. It is also have records of previous "blankets", necessary to prevent people who will and hope to be able to explain: them do this, in the future.

The hotter a copper wire is, there- fore, the higher its resistance will be,. and conversely, the colder the wire the lower its resistance. Everyone knows, of course, that re- sistance in a' radio circuit is undesir- able, and that low -loss coils and con- densers are designed to eliminate as much resistance as possible. Mr. Al= len S. Bremner, a British scientist, has announced that by immersing his ening inductances in liquid air, he re- duced their resistances to a point where he got a very noticeable increa- e in signal strength. The tempera- ture of the liquid air is around x8o de- grees centigrade, below zero. Broadcating Licenses At A Premium The radio sectionof the Depart- ment of Commerce now has on hand between 250 and 30o applications for new radio broadcasting licenses with no wavelengths available. This is in spite of the, fact that officials of the department have repeatedly stated that there is no chance for the issu- ance of any more licenses at this time. All applicants • are simply being noti- fied that no licenses willbe issued. This action on the part of the gov- erninent has caused the existing li- censes to♦ have a very high value. Ex- isting licenses are being unofficially bought or leased for thousands of dollars. -0--- Radio Prison. Danger Englishmen were very much sur- prised a short time ago to learn that many of our American prisons had radio equipment installed for the ben- efit of the inmates. The English still seem to be skeptical of the idea of treating prisoners so well, although they have recently installed a radio receiver in the Narborough Work- house. According to a British paper there area number of British citizens who confdently expect that the radio "attraction' will lead to a sudden in- lux of new inmates. Scientists Puzzled By Poor Radio Reception During nearly all of thefirst two months in x926 the whole .of North America seemedto suffer from poor radio reception; There was a very definite period over which the radio results were universally poor. Radio fans blamed their sets and broadcast- ers blamed their stations for the poor results which they were getting in what was usually the best season of he year. Scientists have taken note of the condition but have been unable to ex- plain it. The Bureau 'of Standards has termed it a "magnetic blanket," It seethed to produce the same; results that the northern lights did when they were so active a few, years ago. Ev- erything sounded s'ort of quiet and de- ad, and even static seemed to be sub- dued, Daring the latter part of Feb- ruary, the "dead" condition seemed to vanish and radio reception became Irish Comedy Drama in Four Acts with musical interludes, . under auspi- ces of Holy Name Society, Wingham Opera House, at 8 p, in,, on Wednes- day, May 26.
