It's Spring again! The sap Els running! The discordant caw` of the crow can, tin March, sound as the sweetest birdsong. The swish and crunch of ice cakes floating down flo'od-swolieri str'eam's sounds a promise as well as a warning. For they tare Long-awaited heralds of spring. But if there is one spring sound that can quickly dispel the lethargy induced ]by winter it is the soft tap, tap of the ,sweet sap d'r'ipping bite pails, hung from maple trees. Lt its here in the maple bushes that Nature stages •.4J her spring festival. Sugaring -off Time, when young and old trek through melting snows to the sugar bushes to .. collect the year's first harvest, the liquid sugar stored in old maple trees, is a time of magic and excitement and, for children, not unlike the wonders of Hallowe'en. Outdoor cauldrons bubble and boil as the clear liquid sap turns into syrup' Escaping steam and woodsmoke add a fragrant aroona to ,the :frosty air. Bright sunshine casts weird shadows of mistshapen -branches across the ground. New appetites' are Satiated with "maple taffy", made by pouring hot syrup on clean snow. And, not unlike the sap flowing through the maple trees, there conies a restless urge to once again• cast off the bonds of winter, get out in the sun, and live. ' • i; And, • wilth the return of Spring, thoug• hts once more !" turn to the summer vacation season. Soon, upon the net- Jwork of Onitario highways, will emerge the countless motor- . fsts who have heard the can of the road. To the beat hes ') ,along the shores of the Great Lakes, up into the Lakeland I playground's and on into the rugged vastness that is North- ' ern Ontario :they willhead, some returning to a cheri'shed retreat, others seeking new adventure.

By than we suppose he means we could fight fear and its allies with knowledge, and have power over our- selves. We thought of that 'when the Canadian Cancer Society launched its campaign to fight cancer with facts. !rears and suspicions gnawing the edges of your mind cam, be defeated by clear facts. Also, should there be reason or fear, early knowledge of the trutlh,in case of illness like cancer, actually may prevent death. (We have been afraid of truth too long. There are many examples even on national scales on the results of "W- '1 falsifying or hiding facts. We haven't far to look atdday. Here is a poilnt. Some 15,000 Canadians 'died of Cancer last year. Up to half of 'these ;deaths could have been prevented by early diagnosis and treatment. But for too long we have shied away from the dread word, cancer. It seemed better to let suspicions lie dormant. Wemight tell the ancient Greek philosopher today that there 'is not only power in the clear light of know- ledge—but also safety.

Letters to the Edi for CHURCH AFFAIRS Editor, THE NEWS -RECORD, Clinton DEAR SIR: Renewal enclosed., But'I don't like the heading. of. your inner page that says "Wom- en's 'and Church Affairs." As educationist, I am concern- ed lest subtle influence of Press might give new generation the impression that Church Affairs be- long to Women's Affairs. Several clerical friends admit with regret that there le a tend- ency already to leave Church Af-. fairs to the women, and even if a re -arrangement of type might not arrest the trend, it might pos- sibly arrest our attention. Could, the heading read: "Affairs of Men, Women and Their Church?" I could point out a .number of things in The NEWS -RECORD that please me' but I have only this one sheet )of'note paper.

Your Farm Account Book has 12 pages de. voted co columns for these. You are reminded of items which other wise you might forget. Deprecia- tion, a big factor, is covered on 75 named articles in common farm use. You are,. shown how to establish claims for a Basic Herd and make a Three -Year -Average of your re- turns. This latter gives you the advantage of the lowest possible tax and it may be dated back to 1946. These are direct money- saving advantages entirely to your benefit. THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE You can't lose if you take advantage of this. Two things are necessary to average your income over the three year period ending December 31, 1948. First your 1947 return MUST BE FILED ON TIME --that is, by April 30, 1948. Then when you file your 1948 return in 1949 you may make application to average your income for 1946,1947-1948. This averaging of income continues yearly so that in each year you are taxed only on the average of each three year period. REMEMBER -HALF CULTIVATED LAND YIELDS A POOR CROP --HALF KEPT ACCOUNTS GIVE POOR RESULTS TOO Last year Canadian farmers—and there are nearly a million of them— , produced over $2,000,000,000 in farm produce of all kinds. No other single industry approaches agriculture in volume of production. And as in every other business—even the smallest—every farmer must file an account of his transactions with the Department of National Revenue to qualify for the many tax exemptions which are allowed.
