The Wingham Advance-Times, 1952-04-02, Page 9Voice of the Junior Farmers by W. Ross Smith Well it looks as though Spring is finally in the air, although old man winter is still showing some disrespect for the calendar. This past week saw the formation of two new clubs, The North Huron Swine Club has Charlie Wilkinson as president, Donald Dow as vice-presi- ident and Clifford Coultes as secre- tary-treasurer. Eldon Cook is president of the Blyth-Belgrave 4H Baby Beef Club, with Bob Kennedy as vice-president, and Sidney Thompson as secretary- treasurer. Here's hoping the Swine Club mem- bers can find a way to make money out of hogs. Yours truly received pay- ment for 9 hogs on which a record of expenses was kept. They were shipped heavy like Mr, Gardiner said, (dressed about 170 pounds) and final figures showed a loss of 93c. These hogs were as healthy and thrifty as they come, with no setbacks no veter- inary bills—no profit. The Clinton District Collegiate In- stitute will be the scene of the Huron County Junior Farmers' Association annual meeting, tomorrow night, Thursday, April 3rd. The Bruce Coun- ty Juniors will supply a half-hour amateur entertainment programme. All Junior Institute members are asked to please bring lunch and fol- lowing the refreshments, dancing will be enjoyed to complete the evening's proceedings. SPORTS by Jim Johnston The North Huron Junior Farmers held, their annual skating party on Monday, March 24th., in the Wingham and Community Arena and Gardens. The skating party was preceded by an exciting hockey game between Dungannon and Belgrave Juniors. The Dungannon team went down to a 5 to 1 defeat in spite of the fact that their team was spiked with sev- eral Lucknow Intermediates. Much credit for the Belgraye triumph goes to Ross Johnston, who turned in a splendid game between the pipes, al- lowing only one goal. Goals: Anderson 2, Higgins, Purdon and Welwood 1 each. sume publication in April.

( DOC, TELL ME WK.,. t YOU WATCH FOR IN YOUR FLACKS TO PREVENT CANNIBALISM. THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Each year, many residents of urban areas journey to the wooded parts of 'the country in search of natural seed- lings, (small forest trees grown by nature) which they can use for orna- mental planting around their homes, Unifortunately, a large percentage of the transplanted seedlings never grow, some are not even planted—and I would like, therefore, to point out a few steps, which if followed, would greatly improve results, Transplanting should only be at- tempted in the spring or fall; specif- ically, April and the first half of May, or October. It is generally true that the smaller the tree the better the chance of success. A spade or shovel should be used to dig—never pull—the seedling, and take as much soil with the roots as possible. Pack the lump of soil tightly into a con- tainer to keep the earth from rattling off the roots and to cut down evapor- ation of moisture. Plant the seedling in its permanent location as soon as possible. The lump of soil adhering to the roots should be firmly pressed into the planting hole with your heel to exclude air pockets. Water the trees frequently until you feel they are well establish- ed. By following the above steps; the percentage of transplanted trees that grows will be greatly increased, and the necessity for repeated planting will be eliminated. Before you remove trees from any property, you should obtain permission from the owner. Though it will be many years before they have a real value as timber, these small seedlings do have a value as an immature crop, For four days this past week, a Beaver aircraft was stationed 'n the Huron District of the Department of Lands and Forests. The purpose of having the plane was to give the Dis trict Office staff, Conservation Offic., ers and Zone Foresters the opportun- ity to observe the areas they are in- terested in from the air. The plane carries five passengers besides the pilot. On Monday, a flight was made in the forenoon over Waterloo, Oxford and Perth Counties. In the afternoon a flight was made over Wentworth Halton and Wellington Counties. Tuesday, a group of the District Of- fice staff flew to Wiarton airport. From Wiarton two flights were made. First, around the Bruce Peninsula, and second, East, covering Grey CoUnty, The flight on Wednesday, which was .to take in Oxford, Huron and Perth Counties, had to be can- celled due to snowy weather, The air- craft .was based at the Waterloo- Wellington airport. Mr. Charles Le- feuvre, chief pilot of the Department of Lands and Forests, was pilot. RED CROSS SAVES MUCH FOR CANADIANS More than a quarter of a million Canadians have received free , blood plasma transfusions through the Canadian Red Cross free national Blood Transfusion Service, Vernon C. Hale, national chairman of the Blood Donor committee, announced recently on th eeve of the Society's annual national appeal for $5,222,000. "In cold dollars and cents our ser- vice has saved Canadians, in the former cost of medical care alone, a sum far greater than the total amount we are campaigning for to cover all Red Cross services this year," the chairman declared. "But it is in the contribution to suffering humanity and in the saving of hum- an lives that our real progress can be measured." A total of 282,136 patients in Can- ada have received free transfusions since the start of the service in 1947, and a total of 648,790 bottles have been donated by the public in the same period. In 1951, when the service had grown to include eight provinces, although only portions of Ontario and Quebec, 110,136 patients received transfusions and 263,000 bottles of blood were collected. With the opening of a depot in Saskat- chewan this year, the service will operate in all provinces except New- foundland. In addition to the civilian service, the government has made Red Cross the sole agency for the procurement of blood and blood products, includ- ing plasma, for the fighting men of Canada at home and abroad. More than 6,000 bottles of plasma have al- ready been delivered to the Depart- ment of National Defence under this agreement. Roadside Picnic Tables Stretch Vacation Dollar Roadside picnic tables and 56 road- side parks, ranging from one to 390 acres in area, are making vacation dollars go farther for Ontario citizens and motoring guests from sister pro- vinces and the United States. Owned and operated by the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways, the roadside parks are adapted to overnight camping by those carrying tents or canvas shel ters. Sites are often close to lakes or streams, where, subject to weather, piscatorial mood arid other occult factors, good fishing is often reported. Where possible campsites are provid- ed with wood for use in sturdy field- stone cooking fireplaces. Those interested in getting full in- formation early are invited to write in now for copies of the new Official Roadside Park Bulletin, published by the Ontario Department of Highways, which owns and operates the picnic tables and roadside parks. They are usually located at points of special scenic or historic interest, often both. That they are very much appreciated is shown by the many letters received from motorists who have used them on vacations. All emphasize that road- side parks reduced the cost of holiday travel and helped to provide pleasure and healthful recreation for all mem- bers of motoring families. These Roadside Park Bulletins are issued free and should be in the hands of Municipal Council tourist commit- tees, Chamber of Commerce and oth• ers interested. Requests should be sent to the Ont. Department of Highways, Public Relations Branch, East Block, Parliament Buildings, Toronto.
