Christmas Trees
A CHRISTMAS TREE, with its decorations,
hes become an integral part of the celebrations
in aimost every home.
Besides supplying trees for Canadian.
horries, many thousands of .trees are shipped
by truck and railway to cities in the United
States. This means substantial financial re-
turns to the landowners, to truckers and lab-
our in connection with harvesting the trees.
Balsam has been the favourite through the
years as it holds its needles better than the
spruce. If spruce is cut more than two weeks
before Christmas the householder is liable to
have a tree without needles a few days after
Christmas.
All the pines hold their needles well
and it is a common practice to cut pine for
Christmas trees in early November. Th e
scotch pine has gained in popularity vary
much in the past five years, This is reflected
in the price which has increased from 25 cents
to 75 cents ori the stump in •that time. Scotch
Pine this year sold from State Forests in New
York art, $1.85 ` 'on the stump.
of Lands .and Forests)
Planting Scotch Pune
The -Zone Forests 'plan to plant a small
acreage of scotch pine on every hundred acres
that is bought by the Counties and River An.
thoritiesr They hope to liquidate most of the
cost of planting the 100 sores in 20 years, from
the sale of Christmas trees.
The' planting of • scotch pine for timber
is not recommended as •a poorly shaped tree
is grown compared to the native red and white
pine.
Bill of Sale Necessray
A.71 licensed carriers (trucks) nlust have a
bill of sale (receipt) showing who was paid
far the trees, the lot and concession numbers
and the township where they were cut,
Cutting on Private . Land
All should remember that if a Christmas
tree is cut and taken from private property
it is theft, and theone taking the tree could
be proseouted for stealing, Et is a better policy
and will teach your children honesty if you
speak to the owner and secure his permission
to choose a tree.,
Christmas Spirit In Practice
HURON COUNTY Christmas Seals Cam-
paign is nearing its close, but there still is a ,
considerable way to go to reach the objective
set for this prosperous county. However, it
is not too late, even today; to aid in this
very worthy cause, which is; being ,supported•
by the various Lions Clubs• of the County un,
der the ' name of Huron Tuberculosis Associa-
tion. A donation would be a worthwhile
Christmas gift to humanity. W. C. Newcombe
is Clinton chairman, and. James A. Cameron
ie head of the ;Bayfield committee,
Do you know that 20 Huron County resi-
dents entered the sanitarium for treatment in
1950, and that the current campaign is your
weapon to defend yourself, your family, and
your community, against tuberculosis.
Early discovery- by x-ray and early treat-
ment are the only ways to prevent the de-
velopment of tuberculosis and its spread to
others. Therefore, a free chest x-ray at reg-
ular intervals for every person. in. Huron
County, is the goal of the Association,
The Association is sponsoring a county-
wide x-ray survey early next spring, and
urges everyone to take advantage of the free
clinical service when it is made available in
the community.
Financing of these projects is made .pos-
sible bnly through the present campaign. No
home can be safe until all are safe; the work
must go an until every home is free from
tuberculosis.
Canada's "Doctor Of The Year"
IN' THE UNITED STATES, the American
Medical Association has selected as "family
doctor of •the year", Dr. Albert C. Yader, 84,
Goshen, Incl„ who has practised medicine in
the same town for nearly 50 years.
Our esteemed contemporary, The Huron
Expositor, very kindly suggests that Dr. John
W. Shaw, Clinton, might be named "doctor of
the year" for Canada. We should like to join
in this tribute to Clinton's grand old man, and
wish him many years of continued service to
the community.
Dr, Shaw, 90 last July, has been practising
medicine in Clinton for more than 60: years,
and while carrying on a very large practice,
has found time to participate in community
activities for the benefit of the community and
his fallow -citizens.
Canadians do not go in much for "man
of the year", "woman of the year", and so
on, but nevertheless we feel perfectly safe in
stating that there -could be very little opposi-
tion to nomination of Dr. Shaw for such on
honour as "doctor of the year."

DEAR EDITOR: •
May we through the medium
of your paper, comment briefly
on the guest editorial by Miss
, Lucy M. Woods, Bayfield, cap -
tamed "That Word Dominion", in
• your paper of Thursday 6th inet,
Miss Woods pushes a convinc-
ing pen and we hope she will
came through frequently an •sub-
jects of national import, Her
editorial, however, indicates a
baclaward look, in her reference
to the -choosing of the name
Dominion of Canada, by the
Fathers of Confederation.
That was a long time ago, when
our country was, as one might
saiy, in the diaper stage, and if
those statesmen were living to-
day, they might take a different
view. The 'triplication that what
was good enough for them should
be good enough for us is not
sound reasoning.
It recalls to mind that some
years ago, while a member of
the public school board, a move
was made to improve the ac-'
epmmodation for the pupils and
taushers in the matter of comfort
and health. Ratepayers opposed
to the change reasoned that what
was good enough in their school
days should be good enough for
their children. No thought of
progress, just'static. The board
fortunately was backed, up by e
sufficient number of progressive
minded citizens to warrant going
ahead, and the school building
was remodeled.
Much has been written on the
subject of distontinutng the word
"Dominion" and a few days ago
it was subject of debate in the
House of Commons. at Ottawa,
when the preponderance of opin-
ion was largely for the change.
So we may now say good-bye to
Dominion.
Nothing having been said of
adopting any word in its place,
this writer again advances the
suggestion of "The United Prov-
inces of Canada" as being an ap-
propriate name for this great
nation.
The word Dominion, as we see
it, was circumscribing in its
implications, and cramped our
style as one of the' leading na-
tions of the world's democracies.
As a nation, and as individuals,
we should have a forward look,
should look beyond the narrow
limits of our immediate day and
generation, and hatch the vision
of what our nation is likely to
be one hundred, yes, 'even fifty
years hence.
Canada is fast becoming a
world power but it t;annot be
denied that cutting sharply across
our fourteen million of popula-
tion there is a lineof cleavage,
in the matter of rade, language,
and creed. Not openly hostile,
but anundercurrent of friction,
a discordant note in our nation-
al harmony, two separate and
distinct ideologies.
In order to bridge this faction,
al eleavage, tolerance forbear-
ance, give • and take,; ter what
have you, should be practiced by
all parties, so that we will pre-
sent a united front at home and
abroad. If a few of the labels
of Imperialism are lopped away,
what does it matter so long as
we make some people happy?
If our national mail has be-
come Canada Mail instead of
Royal Mail, why then let us re-
member that we have two great
transportation systems, The Can-
adian National and The Canadian
Pacific, carrying our mails, ex-
press, freight and passengers,

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
The Voice of Temperance
They revoked the Canada
Temperance Aot in Manitoulin
two years ago on the grounds
that it opened .the way for drink-
ing by minors and bootlegging.
The word that comes down from
the island now is that "minors
are getting liquor evidently with-
out any trouble, three such. were
on a week's drunk.' "The Can-
ada Temperance Act no longer
exists but drinking among min-
ors does." "Dances have had" to
be stopped even in the (R.C.)
Parish Hall." "Bootlegging seems
important everywhere — more
drinking in Manitoulin than ever
before, drinking has become a
menace." This is the report of a
representative of the Ontario
Temperance Federation on a visit
to Manitoulin.
