Martin has announced changes in the regulation of the Ontario Weed Act to be effective this year. Road superintendents or foremen will not be eligible for appointment as weed inspectors. The reason for this regulat- ion is that the weed inspector must report on the enforcement of the Act with re- spect to roads. To simplify the enforcement of the Act the following less important weeds in On- tario have been removed from the nox• isms list: Cinquefoils (potentilla sp.), field pep- pergrass (lepidium campestre). stinckseed (lappula echinata), Russian thistle (salsa - la kali) wild barley (hordeum jabatum). Municipal councils are encouraged to appoint men capable of giving leadership in an educational way. Weed problems are not simple and the best men available are essential if progress is to be made, It is not sullich nt for a council to appoint a man and instruct him to wait for com- plaints before taking action, e INVEST YOUR MONEY IN SOUND REAL ESTATE SECURITIES A PERMANENT SECURITY Real Estate Securities when financed in accordance with approved Banking Principals are among the strongest Investments available, as this class of security yields a higher return of in- terest that can be obtained on other securities of equal soundness.
