History shows that impoverishment and national decline fol.- lows from the destruction of a country's forests. Most of the area of this Province is non-agricultural, suited by Nature only for growing trees. This land remains yours but the Governcnent"sells the trees. Every summer in Ontario an average area of 425,000 acres of forest land is burnt over, equl to a strip 130 miles long by 5 miles wide. This yearly desolation at the hands of her own people is gradually turning the northern part of the Province into a rocky desert. On thousands of acres, even, the soil has been destroyed by fire! 7- 1 na9 F1 ' sty 'There The average yearly num- ber of forest fires in Ontario is about 1,275. ' The vigilance of the Fire Rangers keep two-thirds of Ontario's forest fires down to an average size of less than five acres. But the g others are big enough to raise the total average to 350 acres. Forest fires.an Ontario are de- stroying provincial assets of tim ber and pulp wood upon which the Province relies to help pay her share of 'Canada's War Debt. Forest; fires destroy fish and game, decrease the regularity of stream flow, cause spring floods, land elm -, and the crippling of water' powers; turn revenue-producing 'areas into rock deserts. Out of every 100 fires in On - tarp'' forests only three are cab td. by lightning, 'Nile ninety or More are dile to man's care -- !r r4 � `il Tours lessness. " One thousand men scattered over 100,000,000 acres, have little chance of preventing fires. - All they can hope to do is to see the smoke in time to check them and put them out before they spread beyond control. The problem of adequate pro- tection of Ontario's Forests from fire is almost. entirely a moral one involving ,the whole public of On- tario. The vast majority of forest frees are caused by human care lessness due to lack of civic re- sponsibility. The tendency is to leave all the responsibility to the Government for protecting the forests from fire. The Govern- ment cannot protect the forests belonging to the people of Ontario unless the people of Ontario co- operate. Forestry needs your patriotism, your public sphit, your regard for the general wel- fare of Canada.

At 7.05 a.m. , the camp "fell in" foie their morning dip, A portion of each day's program was utilized for instruction and so well did the boys profit by it that many of them completed their second-class and others won profici- ency badges.

A. picket of two first-class swimmers were always on hand although there is no asfer beach on Lake Huron than the one at Bayfield. Other recreations eatio ns took the form of football, dodge ball, and hikes, while in the evening the camp- fire and the corn roast furnished the circle about which all were able to join in the sing -song and yarns. Sunday was visitors' day and the camp was honored by a call, from some thirty Exeter friends. Mr. E. H. Davidson, ,Field Secretary from Toronto made an official visit on Tuesday and Wednesday, remaining over a night in camp. On Tuesday a visit was paid by the Strathroy troop camping at Grand Bend.
