Leafs 'At Home In July
For Twenty -One Games
Howley's youngsters confident of
climbing back into first division.
With 21 games at Maple Leaf
Stadium, their home grounds, to play
during the month of July, Dan How-
ley's Toronto Maple Leafs are con-
fident of improving their pennant
chances and climbing back up into
the first division.
The Leafs have just returned ,from
their longest road trip of the season,
playing 16 games in five different
cities. OP this number they won
seven and lost nine. Several of their.
defeats were close contests in which
a hit at the right time would .have
meant . victory.

and the recommendation of the tea-
cher on the work of the candidate
during the year. (b) The candidate,
may 'write'on the 'examination.
The number passed under (a) was
150. The number who wrote was
190. Of those whe wrote 144 suc-
ceeded in securing certificates. 26
passed with honours. 13'/2% of all

and the home run hitting of first
baseman Jim Walsh, were the high
spots of the road trip. Walsh hit
four homers, three of them in New-
ark against the leading Bears. The
Leafs are the first team this season
to win a series from the Bears in
Newark, taking two of the three
games. Walsh's hitting was a big
factor in this triumph. Davis won
four games and brought his record
of the season up to eight victories
and three defeats. Three of his vic-
tories were shut -outs. The two runs
made by Newark were the only ones
he allowed in his four triumphs. He
blanked Jersey City, 5 to 0, Syra-
ease 4 to 0, and wound up the road
jaunt with a 1 to 0 verdict' over Ro-
chester in which he permitted only
one Iiit. This was on June 24. Al-
most exactly a year previous, June
25,1936, he pitched a no -run, no -hit
game for Cordele against Thomasville
in the Georgia -Florida League.
The Leafs started their big borne
campaign with a double -head -I
er on Dominion Day against the
Buffet Bisons. •Tne Bisons remained
in Toronto for games on July 2 and
3. The Leafs are away from home
until Saturday, July the 10th,
when they oppose Buffalo in
a double-header. Montreal opens a
four -game series of night games in`
Toronto starting July 12. There will
be a large crowd from Hamilton to
celebrate "Hamilton Night" on July
14. On July 16 and 17, the Leafs
are in Syracuse but they will be
back home again on July 19 to re-
main practically for the balance of
the month.
The league -leading Newark Bears
open a four -game series on July 19,
a double-header played on Wednes-
day, July 21. Jersey City follows
with another four -game series which
opens on July 22 and ends with a
double-header on Saturday, July 24.
Baltimore comes for a five -game ser-
ies starting Monday, July 26, and
ending July 29. There will be a twi-
light -floodlight double bill on July
27.
These games will have a strong
bearing on the Toronto team's play-
off chances. Most of the games will
be played under the floodlights, the
daylight fixtures being confined to
the Saturday dates.

METEOR DISPLAY
Several residents of Lucknow wit-
nessed a spectacular sight last Wed-
nesday night, about nine o'clock,
when a flaming meteor sped across
the northern sky trailing a long
plume of smoke which clung in the
air for twenty minutes after the
phenomenon disappeared. The met-
eor appeared to the northwest and
sped eastward, a ball of fire likened
to a giant rocket, with sparks flying
from the surface.

OUR FOREST HERITAGE
A SERIES OF TALKS BY JOHN C. IRWIN, .B.Sc.F.;F.E.
1. "BLIT ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE."
2. "THE DESERTED' VILLAGE."
3. "WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE."
"What Fools These Mortals Be"
Inmy two earlier talks I discus-
sed something 61 the nature of trees
and their growth, of the ideal of the
forest engineer to produce a crop of
`trees continuously on land that is fit
for nothing else, of the deterioration
of many communities with the dis-
appearance of the forest, and' -hinted
at the many beneficial effects, econ-
omic; social and cultural, of its pre-
servation., I spoke also of the unbe-
lievable manner in which we in Can-
ada have . handled a tremendous re-
source, a" manner which for prodigal-
ity and profligacy seems without per -1
allel in recorded history' except in
the 'United States.
I mentioned also that it would seem i �
to be entirely within the realm of
possibility for usto develop -a ration-
al forest policy in Canada, similar to
that nowobtaining in many Euro-
pean countries. - a policy by which
our forests would be managed to yield
a crop; of lumber every year, a policy
by which they would be farmed and
and not ruined.
When I first begari the study of
forestry in 1917, very little indeed
was known about the subject by the
general public. That the planting of
trees and the fighting of forest fires
were sometimes among the duties of
the forest engineer were known to'
some; but even the freshmen in other
college courses (and those paragons
of all wisdom, th e sophomores)
thought a forest engineer a cross be-
tween a member of the 1:0.F. and
Robin Hood.
Today a great deal more is known'
about the subject, and thousands of
Ontario people have visited the Pro-``
vineial Forest Nurseries at St. Wil -I
Hams, Midhurst and Orono. There!
and at not a few plantations scat-
tered throughout the southern part
of the Province, they have observed
the uses that trees, grown in nur-
series, may put to control drifting
sand, to stop the erosion of banks, and,
as windbreaks and shelter belts.
They hr.'e seen them used to reforest
fields and pastures in places from;
which the original covering of trees
should never have been removed.
They have also seen signs read-
ing "Demonstration Woodlot"'attached
to trees on the side of the road —
these signs indicating that a forest
engineer in the Government service
had consulted with the farmer on the
best method of handling this impor-
tant part of the farm, in order to
obtain the best continuous supply of
wood for heating and other purposes
around the farm, as well as for sale.
Thousands, too, have visited the
fire -rangers' towers, and have been
impressed with the many graphic
signs nailed to trees and posts along
roads and portages, warning them to
be careful with fire,
The Canadian Forestry Association
and the various professional societies
of forest engineers have also carried
on a desultory and unmethodical pro-
gramme of education, I think we
should give credit to the late Mr.
Frank Barnjum, some of whose let-
ters to the press many of you have
read. His activities were not consid-
ered by some an unmixed blessing to
the cause of forestry in Canada, but
one must admire the way in. which he
to bring •Canadians to realize the
wealth of their forests and the crim-
inal abandon with which they were
allowing them to be destroyed.
Since the death of Mr. Barnjuln
we have not had any outstanding cru-
sader for a nation-wide forest policy..
During the recent federal campaign.
one party. leader • in hispublic ad-
dresses did show an appreciation of
some of our national' forest problems
and it is regrettable that in the heat,
of the election campaign wide publi-
city was given to statements which,
ridiculed his proposals. It a severe,
indictment of the electioneering me-
thods of some, that misleading and,
untrue statements, which may nullify'
the educational efforts of years, Willi
be made by highly -placed men, gm-.
ply to discredit an opponent. For-
tunately the assertions made were So,
ludricrons that they were deplored by°
spent unstintingly of time and money-
all
oneyall well-informed people.
The products of our forests in Can-••
ada are second only to those of ag-
riculture in the annual production of
wealth and the number of workers,
employed. The average annual value
of forest products during the period.
from 1926-30 was just under five•
hundred million dollars. Of this
huge amount 60 percent was exported,
and during the worst years of the de-
pression the export of forest products-
was
roductswas responsible for a greater favour-
able balance of trade than that due
to the export of all agricultural pro-
ducts including animals and animal
derivatives.
During the period 1926-30 the ave-
rage annual wages paid in all wood -
using industries was two hundred and
fifty thousand.
A few more figures—tee pulp anct
paper industry is the most iinpor
tant manufacturing industry in Can-
ada; with 109 plants, employing thir-
ty-three thousand people, and Paying'
wages of fifty million dollars annual-
ly. The invested capital is six hun-
dred and twenty-five million dollars..
The amount of Canadian timber be-
ing cut, burned or destroyed by in --
sects and other diseases is estimated
at over four billion cubic feet, or
approximately thirty-two billion
board feet. Strangely enough, this,
happens to be almost exactly the a-
mount given as the annani growthof
our forests.
It is safe to conclude, then, that:
one-tenth of our population is direct-•
ly dependent on the products- of the.
forest for a livelihood. If we consid-
er those engaged in building and al-
lied trades which make use of wood'
as almost the most important part of
their structures, this figure would be -
greatly increased. In addition, you,
must not overlook the millions of dol-
lars brought into this country every
year by the tourist trade, of which r
think it would be safe to say fully fif-
ty per cent. is attraoted by our for-
ested regions.
