' Blooming in the woods of the Here- after? LMolty'$evan. For some years thoughtful lovers" Of native beauty have .felt anxiety lest the wild flowers of Ontario be exterminated and The News Record has on more than one occasion, sound- ed a warning regarding them. And now, in the springtime, seems a good time to repeat that warning. ;Until just recently wild flowers were so plentiful that there seemed no danger of their ever being a death of them. But a ohange is coming and those who know tell us ;that some varieties have disappeared altogether, and others are so scarce that they may `in a few' years be exterminated. I have myself walked through so thick a carpet of white trilliums, for instance, thele for rods end rods one had to be careful in stepping that nee did not step on them, I remem- ter well a woods I used to visit in May where I would carefully keep my eyes averted until I should get to an advantageous spot where the glory of a •sloping hillside -could be seen at one glance, then teen and take in a: vision of beauty which would make one catch the breath, it was see exquisite.;. a .veritable hanging garden of snowy. white blooms, with here and there, near a little stream, some clumps of purple iris. I have not seen that wooded hillside for many •years and probably never 'shall see it again, but the visions I have had of i!t in the spring time remain with me as some of the beautiful things 1 have seen. 4 Such lavishness of bloom I have never seen since and the reason of that lavishness was no doubt e that very few people visited this wood. I always picked all the white ,trilliums I wanted but there were always plen- ty left. They bloomed just' as abund- antly the following year. But when such a place is visited yearly by hun- dreds of people, who all pick all they want, the supply soon falls off. During the past fifteen years cars have become very eommon in Ontario and people who never had the oppor- tunity of visiting wooded places are now privileged to clo so. It is a privi- lege and there is no more wholesome Duting that a visit to some wild, wooded section, where trees and grass and flowers are just as nature fash- ioned them!. I would rather spend a holiday on some grassy knoll, with woods for a background and a run- ning stream at my feet than visit the most wonderful of cities. How much more, restful and wonderful it must be to those who live in cities all the time to get out into the open and see nature at her best. But while these new privileges are fine for the people who enjoy them the wild flowers have suffered. Fancy what a won- der such a sight as I have described would be to someone who had never seen the like or even imagined it? ,can well imagine that those who came unexpectedly upon such a scene did not go away empty handed, and, when such visits were multiplied by the hundred it is no wonder that our wild flowers have began to disappear. Of course urs much of the wanton waste of our wild flowers has been the result of thoughtlessness but if children were taught to handle flow- ers carefully much of it would have been avoided.

It carries a touch of intimacy no other re- membrance can bring. And what other gift could you send that would cost you so little and give so much pleas. ure. Just look over the long distance rates in the front of your telephone hook and note the unusually low cost since the recent tate reductions. Call by number and tell the long distance operator "anyone there will do.'.' 'Tis gives you the low station -to -station rate. If,you call after 7 in the even- ing the cost will be about 25% lower than the day rate; and from 8,30 p,tn, to 4.30 a.tn. the rate is about half the day rate. ('These reductions apply on "anyone" calls only,) Long distance today is quicker, cheaper and more dependable than ever before.

W. J. Hanna is, president, sends out a list of flow -- era which should be-spared.as follows; Group 1. Wild Flowers that should not be picked: All wild Orchids and wild Lilies, Pitcher plants, Shooting Stars, Trilliums, Columbine, Water Lilies,' Lady's Slipper, Dogwood, Anemone, Fringed, Gentian, BIuebells, Arethusa, Dutchman's' 'Breeches, Maidenhair ' and 'Walking Fern, Spotted Wintergreen, Indian Pipe, False Spikenard. Group 2. Wild flowers that may be picked in moderation if roots are not disturbed and plenty of flowers left to make seed: Lupine, Jack -in -the -Pulpit, Solomon's Seal, Spring Beauty, Hepatica, Dogtooth Violet, May Apple, Bloodroot, Ferns, Marsh Marigold, Wild Roses, Meadowsweet, Cleniatid, Wild IGeraneunn, Meadow Rue, All common Violets, Yellow Wood Sorrel, Closed Gentian, Wintergreen, ;Marsh Pinks, Beard -tongue, Iris, Butterfly weed or coral plant. When going into the woods carry a sharp knife or a pair of sharp scis- sors wth which to snip off flowers, as if they are pulled the roots are of- ten loosened or disturbed, and do not tramp any flowers. Be as careful when in the woods as you would be in your own garden, or a little more so, as you are usually trespassing when visiting moods, and visitors should be careful not to injure the property of their hosts. R]I Bial.AB BACON LITTER COiMPETITION FOR 1930 Huron County had a small repres- entation in- the provincial Competi- tion Iast year, there being ,but four entries. however, in spite of this shall entry, there were two prize winners from Huron, Mr. John Pep- per of Ilitipen, 2ncl and Mr. Lloyd Scotphmer of Bayfield, 4th prize. 0 This competition will be conducted again this year. The object is to es- tablish a standard of excellence for grade brood sows kept by the farnner. It is recognized that those brood sows which are prolific and rear large lit- ters of select hogs, ;;hat are good feeders making good gains at a low cost are valnable as improvers or commercial hogs. This competition alms to give such sows prominence and to encourage the breeding of hogs of more thrifty strains of high quality. The Live Stock rBranell, Ont.

It is important,, therefore, that the blab Ideal see to it that a suffieierj, amount of water is 'tune plied to his body. ft is not possible to say just how much water a person should use, be- cause the amount varies, depending upon his occupation and the ;heat dad moisture of elle atmoeghee'• in which he lives and works, Working out of doors on a hot day, a man gets rid of a considerable quantity' of water by, the evaporation of water from the skin. Generally aki, mopeople do not consume aspesufficiengnt amount of water,;. either ,they do not drink enough water or other fluids, or they do not eat sufficierctly of foods containing a high pereeptage of water. Water is usually so easily and read- ily obtained that it is not generally appreciated: We are apt to think of it only at ;those times when we are thirsty and there is none available. It is likely that many persons who now , enjoy health would feel even better if they were to increase their fluid intake by developing the habit. of drinking a glass or two of waiter before breakfast and between meals. There is no objection to a moder- ate use of water with meals, but it is distinetly harmful to use water or any other beverage to wash down food. Drink should not be taken while food is in the mouth. Before drinking, any food that is in the mouth should be thoroughly mastic- ated' and swallowed. Water acts as a food solvent. It is a most valuable aid in scouring re- gular and complete elimination of body wastes. Water is also news - sayer for the regulation of body heat It is not sufficient td rely upon a dense of third as a guide. Wihenthir- st oeew'rs,it shouid be quenched, 'but it often happens that many persons are only occasionally thirsty. For years they have not attended to the natural demand for water' unless it were preseing, and so their sense of thirst is .blunted. A daily water - drinking routine should be adopted regardless of the absence of thirst, Like all -good things, abuse may do harm. If six, glasses of water a day are good, it does not follow that eighteen are three times better. Ex- cess is x-cess.is never desirable, and in those Who suffer from a heart or kidney pondition, excessive drinking of water may be definitely baneful. No rule of hygiene is easier to obey than that of drinking sufficient wat- er. There is no reason to overlook, its regular practice.

PROPORTIONAL PLAN MAY B1 ADOPTED FOR CITY CONSTITUENCIES Preparatory to the forthcoming general election the government is seriously' considering legisla- tion which will introduce propor- tional representations in all the 'larger cities of the Dominion. In 3VIontreal, for example, the plan would not be Iikely to affect the pre- sent radio representation where Con- servative have three members. In Toronto, however, where Liberals have no Federal members, propor- tional represeuiatioa would probably •I TLIJRPA1Viro, AP�tI:%.,17, 1020 Igive thele two, if not three members, Cities like 1 o Ha if I axr Hamilton a nd St. Johnich wh now 1 return i two Conser- vatives might, with the inclusion of some more rural territory send two Conservatives and one Liberal on the proportional basis. 'Vancouver, too, might crowd in a Liberal to'displaee the solid phalanx of Tories who now represent -the city and its envirions. The subject, it is said has , been thoroughly discussed by the govern meet with its Ontario supporters and they favor it for Toronto,a.,nd Ham ilton. "'Quebec members do not think they will lose by it and,in the other. cases there is thing to lose. Most Progressive members are on record in favor of the proportional system, while Conservative members would see in its introduction at this time nothing 'bu't a bit of well-ealtculated political strategy. If it offers ".a hope of five seats now held by the enemy, that means a difference of ten in voting strength, a consummation to be deeply and fav - prably studied by any gov+ermmen and it is being •studied.

From the veriest child to the adult of advanced years there is nearly always apparent the wish to be do- ing, to be accomplishing. Nothing is more contrary to right living than the sense of community inaction. Laziness and indolence, idle- ness and stupor are unnatural conditions to exist in the community in which you reside, and right-minded individuals look upon them as undesirable and repellant. They tend toward the overthrow of civic, as well as community pride and government. It places you in a state of lethargy that will placard your community as among the "hasbeens," Admitted that all men naturally express the desire of activity, to be doing something, what is the law which will result in freedom to achieve properly , to accomplish that whichis worthy anti' of advantage to their community as well as to themselves. There is only one right law of activity, tY, and that is "Communityuni ty Levo. You cannot achieve Wroth where community pride is lost. You must believe in your merchants, your neighbours, in feet the whole municipality in which you reside, with an abiding faith that there is none better. Faith is the foundation upon whieh the whole superstructure of your community is built, without it you are lost.
