Canada Mourns A Faithful Monarch
"It was announced from Sandringham at
10.45 a.m. (5.45 a.m. EST) today, February
6, 1952, that the King, who retired to rest
last night in his usual health, passed peace-
fully away in his sleep early this (Wednes-
day) morning."*
* *
THIS TERSE ANNOUNCEMENT was made
from Buckingham Palace at 11 a.m. (6 earn
EST) yesterday. Soon, the news was flashed
around the world.
Canadians received the sad news in
shocked silence. Although the 56-year-old King
had appeared wan and tired since his lung,
operation last September, not even the im-
mediate family had suspected that death would
come so soon.
It was a stunning blow to the Common-
wealth, the Empire and the world.
Today, his subjects mourn with intense
feeling the passing of a great man--a monarch
who almost literally gave his life for his
country: •
For it is generally acknowledged, that had
King George VI not been forced to endure
the tremendous responsibilities of his high
office in the grim days of the past 15 years, he
Might, have been spared for many years to
come.
The most sincere sympathy of the Canad-
ian people, and the little people of our own
and other communities throughout this. ;vast,
Commonwealth, are with his wife and family
in these trying hours.
But the tradition of centuries must be
observed: "The King is dead—long live the
Queen!" May God give her strength to bear
up under the great load which she will be
forced to carry.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
God save our gracious queen,
Long live our noble queen,
God save the queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the que-en! c'•

THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO
(By I. C. MARRITT, District Forrester,
THE INCREASE OF DEER in Southern
Ontario perhaps is the most contentious prob.
°Iem that the Department of Lands and Forests
has at the present time. The deer were al-
most eliminated 30 to 40 years ago when
there were very few game overseers to protect
the, game. It is only within the past 20 years
that they have become so plentiful.
Conditions are ideal for deer in many parts
of Southern Ontario, There is cover in the
swamp and woodlots and they can feed oh
the farmers' crops in the spring, summer and
fall. They also eat the fall wheat in the
winter when it is not covered by snow. The
common white cedar is a preferred food of
deer, and it is plentiful in many parts of
Southern Ontario.
The deer have become so plentiful that
they are causing considerable damage to for-
ests, crops, orchards and are one of the high-
eif hazards on the roads.' They browse the
cedar trees as high as they can, and will elim-
inate all cedar production. :they also at times
browse off the small pines on a reforestation
plot. They browse fruit trees and maple, ash
and oak in the woodlots, leaving the ironwood
and blue beech which are considered weed
trees.
Accidents, which involve cars and deer, are
very numerous and in the aggregate have
caused thousands of dollars damage to cars.
Ontario Department of Lands and Foeests)
The logical method of dealing with the
deer problem would be to have an open sea-
, son for a few days in the fall, and nave the
deer population reduced legally. OppoSftion to
an open season 'for deer has many supporters.
The following are some of the reasons for this
opposition;
(1) Sentiment—There are many people who
are against' killing deer. We would point out
that these people to be logical, shmeld be veg-
etarians and refuse to eat meat. Others state
that they like to see- deer when driving through
the country. We sympathize with this view-
point, but we should face the fact that when
wild animals become plentiful in a settled
countryside, they do damage.
(2) Owners object to hunters trespassing
on their land--This objection is not confined
to the hunting of deer, as there are hunters
out all winter after fox and rabbits. In the
summer they are after the woodchucks which
annually destroy thousands of dollars worth
of crops.
(3) Danger to non-hunters—There always
is the danger that „there will be accidents
where there are guns. In the more settled
districts, it is illegal to use rifles in the open
deer season. In this connection it should be
noted that rifles may be used to shoot wood-
chucks in the summer when there are stock
and men in the fields. Rifles also may be
used, to shoot rabbits and fox during the -winter.

"The Music Goes Round And Round"
(The Anaconda Spearhead, New Toronto)
ONCE THERE WAS A FARMER who rais-
ed corn, and a man who raised hens but no
corn. The hens said "no corn no eggs." So
the man agreed to work for the farmer one
day a week for $5 a day. And the farmer
agreed to sell corn to the man for $1 a bushel.
They paid each other off every time with
the -"long green." The farmer paid the man
$5 and the man paid the $5 back to the
• farmer for the five bushels of corn which he
wheeled home in his wheel-barrow. After a.
while, the man said to the farmer, "Every-
thing's gone up, and I regret intensely to in-
form you that I can't work for less than $6
a day.'
The farmer said, "I understand. But you
must understand that everything's going up
with me ton, and I regret intensely to inform
you that I can't sell you my corn for less than
$1.20 a bushel." The man said he understood.
So, the man got $6 a day and at $1.20 a bushel
paid the farmer the $6 for five bushels of corn.
Both of them said, "Happy days are here
„again."
By and by the man said to the farmer,
"Things have gone up still more, and I can't
work for less than $7.50 a day." The farmer
agreed. that was fair, but told the man that
things were going up still higher with him.
He would have to get $1.50 a bushel for the
corn. The man agreed that was fair, and
both said, "Prosperity is here." After all, the
man was getting $7.50 a day. The farmer was
getting $1.50 a bushel. for corn, and the hens
were getting five bushels as always.
And so things went until the man was
getting $10 a day and the farmer got $2 for
a bushel and the man gave the farmer $10 for-
five bushels. And the hens kept right on lay-
ing, even on_Thursdays, and the man told his
wife, "Ain't it wonderful? . . . $10 a day!"
And the farmer told his wife, "Ain't it
wonderful . . . $2 a bushel." And the hens
kept clucking away on five bushels of corn.
And the statisticians down Washington
way said, "Ain't it wonderful? . . National
income at record levels." And the politicians
said, "Ain't it wonderful," and bragged that
they had done it. And everybody felt so
good and prosperous that the man and the
farmer voted for the politicians; and that is
how it was "eggeactly."
The man got three times_as much for the
eggs, but paid three times as much for his
shoes, "and the music went round and round,"
