tended) the meeting and heard talks
on conservation and saw colored
slides showing views of the Ausable
watershed.
Guest speaker was Dr. E. G.
Pleva, head of the geography de-
partment, University of Western
Ontario. 'While his topic concerned
conservation practices in general,
he mentioned certain conditions ex-
isting in the Ausable Valley as ex-
amples to illustrate his talk.
He predicted the population of
Southern Ontario would double in
the next 30 years and that the of
crease wouldbe entirely iu the ur-
ban area.
"The beset farm lands of this area
are those in use today," Dr. Pleva
said. It was therefore up to the
Landowners and farmers to use
their land wisely in order that it
would support the increasing
growth of the larger centres.
"We can't look for hidden riches
over the hill," he said.
Dr. 'Pleva described conservation
as "good stewardship." It was a
duty to use land wisely so that the
next generation would also sucuie
a livelihood from it.
Dr. Pleva was introduced by
•
377,
•i
John A. Morrison, of East William,
who is chairman 'of the Ausable
Authority.
Mr. Morrison outlined the work
of the organization since 1946
when it came into being "out of
sheer neceseity." Today, he said,
it was helping to protect the nat-
ural resources of the area.
One of the major projects, he
reviewed, was the construction of
the Ausable channel at Port
Franks. The two-mile river cut was
excavated to protect the village
ano provide better outlet into Lake
Huron.
Victor Fuller, clerk of Bosanquet
Township, in which .the work took
place and a former chairman of
the authority, gave a detailed re -
1'i t i on costs.
Total cost of the channol picject
was $137,000, of which 75 ,,er cent
was .paid by the Provincial Govern-
ment. The remainder was shared
by the 22 municipalities in the 624 -
square mile watershed.
This amount included cost of ex-
propriating of about 280 acres on
each side of the channel for park,
Mr. Fuller said. He answered ea -
ties oT the project and claimed the
channel was "standing up well."
A. S. L. Barnes, zone forester for
the Department of Lands and For-
ests, presented an illustrated lec-
ture on forestation of the Ausable
River Valley.
Before closing, Chairman Mor-
rison mentioned the Pinery, 4,6C0 -
acre tract of land fronting the
lake, which he said should be de-
veloped as a provincial government
project.
"The day of good roads and mod-
ern transportation has made these
areas available to all urban cen-
tres," he said.
(Northern Pileate
The Pileated Woo • • c er is a
startling bird. So spectacular is his
appearance that he is often o
target for guns in the hands of
thoughtless people.
An extremely valuable bird, the
Pileated should be protected. He
destroys millions of wood insects and
provides nesting sites for tree -dwelling
ducks.
Get to know wildlife. You'll find a whole
new world of interest --and you'll want to
conserve our natural scene.

5. In selecting a dark fruit cake,
note that a recipe containing
molasses and sour milk is usually
the heaviest compared. with others
which contain fruit juice and jelly
or a wine. Those made with bran-
dy or wine are quite light and mel-
low well.
6. Should the fruit cake become
dry before Christmas's place it in a
saucepan of hot water until cake is
hot. Heat grape juice or wine un-
til hot (never boiling) and pour it,
drop by drop, into the hot cake.
Use as much as the cake will ab-
sorb.

mother bird had started them on
their way. They chattered. wildly,
then flew across the road. I count-
ed them as they moved out into
of 450 degrees for 15 minutes and
then reduce temperature to 350 de-
grees for another 20. minutes.

FORMER GODERICH
MAYOR PASSES
Douglas Donald Mooney, 56, for-
mer mayor and prominent citizen
of Goderich, died suddenly at his
home there Monika}
Born in Inverness, Quebec, he
was the youngest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Mooney. He attended
school there, Stanstead College,
and in Portland, Maine, Enlisting
in the 1st Division in World War 1
in 1915, he served until wounded in
1918. He returned to Canada and
the world. There were fifteen of
them. For a few nights the old
birds, the parents of the three fam-
ilies, .brought back the flock. The
youngsters are getting older now,
the young birds come back alone
and settle down at night. Now and•
then, on rainy days, they return
to play hide and seek in the shel-
ter of the ivy.. Sparrows may have
their troubles; they also have their
fun.
THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
There is one way in which the
menace of the drink traffic can be
overcome. Let all church mem-
bers acknowledge that drinking is.
inconsistent with their position as
members of the Christian churches.
Let them act accordingly. It re-
quires nothing more than this, that
all the membership of the church
take a firm stand against the use
of alcoholic beverages and the in-
roads of the liquor traffic will be
.checked.. The temperance cause
has a right to expect the support
of every church member. Drinking
and drunkenness are not part of
the Christian way of life. Church
membership does demand certain
standards of conduct,—(Advt.).
