Members- :expressed can. cern ova the matter;, The con- cern was more than, usual Qat this time, since there has eVi- dently been natal thoughtless clearing of land in ground wa- ter level areas—and the present drought has by that much been worsened. Tree commissioners were in- structed to acquaint themselves with any timber cutting or land clearing operation§ in • their areas. Members were ftriformed that legal machinery: Is at, this time being made ready'to tarry out prosecutions on evidence return- ed by the commissioners. trees With anal- ergeneral, er circumference then 53 tithed may not be cut down. Excep- tions to this rule are black ash, which may be cut down if there is a 31 -inch circumference; Am- erican tamarack, if there is a 38 -inch circumference; large - toothed aspen and trembling aspen, If there is a 31 -inch cir- cumference; and red and white cedar if there is a 22 -inch cir- cumference. Exceptions are those trees which are to be cut for use or sale as Christmas trees, dis- eased or infected trees, and, in general, all trees which have been d tined to the extent that it contains a negligible amount of mercantable timber. However, permission may be obtained from the tree commis- sioners to clear off areas so that fields may be squared off or farms improved. Tree commissioners for Hu- ron are Hugh Hill of Goderich, whose territory is Colborne, Goderich, Ashfield, West Wa- wanosh and Hullett; Bolden Scott of RR 3, Blyth, whose ter- ritory is Morris, Grey, Howick, Turnberry and East Wawan- osh, and George Beer of Hen - Sall, whose territory is Steph- 'en, Usborne,: Ilay, ,Sttattley, Tuck- ersntith and M+Iclilllops. • Loss$1O,000 When Home Is Destroyed in Hullett Fire of undetermined origin swept through and destroyed the farm home of the Harvey McClure family, lot 1, conces- sion 14, of Hullett Township, two and a half miles west of Walton. No one was hurt in the blaze. The fire, discovered by Mrs. McClure in the back shed of the house, was at one time un- der control, but at the most critical time, the fire truck ran out of water. By the time addi- tional help arrived, CIL, home was a mass of flames, First brigade on the scene was the Blyth Volunteers. When it became obvious that the sup- ply of water wasn't sufficient, calls were put in to the Sea - forth and Brussels brigades. The Seaforth men were first on the scene, but by that time there was no hope of saving the building.

The banquet was held at the Dominion Hotel, Zurich, on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Group Captain; Greenaway talked about Canada's polar re- gion, a subject about which he knows a great deal. For two years, between 1946 and 1948, he was associated with the United States Air Force in carrying out experi- mental flights over the polar regions. During the spring of 1946, G/C Greenaway was one of the navigators aboard the first USAF craft to fly over the North aaeographic Pole.

Figures released by the Department. of I+i'atiohal Health and Welfare. state that the average amount of natural fluoridation in the water from drilled wells in this area is 1.3 parts per million. The department says the higher percentage of fewer cavi- ties is "hardly surprising when one considers that good dental enamel is largely fluor-apatite— a substance which requires ade- quate fluoride for its formation. Because of this, fluoride -poor water fails to develop good teeth."
