OVR. FEATHERED FR7MND$
A winter with such a volume of
snow makes it very difficult for the
Irds that stay here all winter to forage
sufficient food. Many folk have feed-
ings stations .erected or places near
their home where food is put out for
their feathered friends, This year
with such heavy snow falls it is more
important than ever to feed the birds,
It is not only a kindly act but one that
will return you mush pleasure for little
effort. It will delight you to see such
mbirds as cardinals, blue-jays, nut-
crackers, wood, peckers, sparrows, and
chickadees feeding at your door, And
don't forget these birds will do you

A WAR MEMORIAL
Many municipalities have already
plans underway for a .memorial to be
built. after the war, it is wise to do
saaitctt thinking and planning cm such
a project. After the last war many
places built community centres which
have served a very useful purpose as
well as being a dignified, memorial,
\Ve believe that this wag a very wise
nerve on their .part. We have e town
hall here Inn; it could not be converted
in a centre that would be sufficient to.
meet the needs. We have not a
swimming' pool nor a gynasinot or ill
bet a building that could 'be used as
a top-ranking place to train our youth
in many things that are desirable. In-
corporated into such a scheme could
be other activities which would make
it truly a community enterprise. The
civic improvement committee of the
Lions Club are considering plans or
should we say discussing some such a
project. We hope from their .deliber-
ations will come the' lead to having a
fine community centre here.

Chicken Stealing Owls Trapped.
Mr. Alex Strauss of the 10th -Con-
cession of .Culross, is determined to
put a stop to acts of thievery in his
poultry flock, On different occasions
now, he noticed chickens minus front
the coop, with nary a trace to be found
within quite a radius of the feathered
home fold. However, traces were.
found farther back along the lane of
the farm, indicating that some marau-
der was becoming fat on the Strauss
egg-layers. Consequently, traps were
set, and to date Mr. Strauss has
caught three culprits - owls of the

Aslifield Council, meeting for its

raising the Township assessment •by

RELATION OF WOOD
TO COAL AS FUEL
A repor't from the Department of
Mines and Resources states that one
and one quarter cords of heavy hard-
wood such as maple, yellow birch,
beech and oak will yield as much heat
as one ton. of anthracite. A cord of
the softer woods such as white' birch,
soft maple, poplar or basswood pre-
duces only 60 to 80 percent of the heat
of the heavier hardwoods. This coin-•
parison with anthracite applies only to
furoace , equipment as fireplaces are
notoriously inefficient, Now if you are
in a t cordwood section the question
arises where to get the manpower to
cut and haul the cordWood, That is
the nub of the matter just as labour
at the mines is the important fader
in coal production.
Next to substituting cordwood, if
available, the best way around the coal
shortage is to use less of it. Insulation,
weatherstripping, and calking will help
greatly but the , use of lower-cost,
higher-heat-value soft coal by means
of automatic coal stokers represents by
far the greatest step which the harras-
sed home-owner can take in. reducing
coal consumption and heating costs..
CLEAN SEED BEST
'CROP INSURANCE
If there is any One thing more imp .
portant' than another to a farmer, it
is clean seed, In a surprisingly short
time it will be seeding time again and
the wise farmer will have •the seed he
is going to plant cleaned and tested
for germination before spring comes,
Although large, well equipped seed
cleaning machinery is available to
farmers at many places throughout
Canada, it may not be conveniently
near to some farmers whose only al-
ternative is to clean their own seed,
The farm-sized fainting mill, however,
can do a good job, if carefully operat-
ed,
The labour of cleaning and handling
seed on the farm may be considerably
reduced where the ;facilities permit the
elevation of the seed from the dewier
to an overhead' bin, Front 'this 'bin
the seed may be spouted back to the
fanning mill for a second cleaning. It
is necessary to run -seed through a
farm fanning mill at least twice and
sometimes three times to make a good
job. If seed'is to be cleaned a third
time, it may be elevated to a second
Overhead bin which is within spooling'
distendc of the fanning mill on the

it as ameatititiou but as guns. In-
creditable as it may seem, paper is
used in the construction of barrels for
rocket guns and fighter planes. It

VIE WATCH QN THE RHINE
France has made it known that after
the war she wants a permanent watch
'on the Rhine and that watch to be
French soldiers. The mistake was
made after the last .war of allowing
Germany to gradually gain strength
until we Wer e in the position at
Munich of trying by diplomatic means
to hold off the war which was being
forced on the world by Germany, It
may be that the leaders of today will
take a more realistic view than those
that were in power for many years
following the last war. France is
Afraid that such leaders may once
again do that same thing and they are
out to stop it. There is little doubt
that most folk •would agree with
France at present but the thing is to
make such a move effective over a
period of many years so that the next
generation or two will not be called
upon to fight another war.
