The Seaforth News, 1923-10-18, Page 3"1"ore r v`AeaoMtidn At the present time every ,voice is raised and every ambition strained to win new population. New population costs. Immigration is expensive sales- manship. While every conservationist wants to see new settlers brought to; Canada, his sense of proportion makes him ask why vie cannot spend at (east. a couple of extra dollars to block' the emigration of Canadian . families driven out of the forest areas by the plague of humsn.set forest fires, Dis- trict after district has been abandon- ed, whole counties have decreased in population, railway lines have lost the bulk of local traffic, towns have been boarded up, and for the sole reason that a• forest resource which should have been perpetual haft been swept, off the ledger of Canadian assets by the recklessness of Canadian citizens. Whose fault is it that the forests of Canada run down hill? We as citi- zens own 85 per cent. of the forest. lands of the Dominion and are directly and personally responsible for what is done with the only crop that can grow on these our lands. Every civilized country on earth looks to the state with its self-perpetuating life, its providential relationship to its people, to look after the forest properties which, unlike wheat or potatoes re- quire as much as a century to mature. The state is `the obvious and only :effi- cient custodian of'the rights of future generations in 'a. very slow growing but utterly essential national resource. Before an intelligent and helpful interest on the part of the public can bring about a measure of complete rest protection we will have to jetti two or three fetishes, all of which e')nredominantly false and yet fix Ciubnselves upon succeeding genera- ,.ygns. One of these' fetishes is that 'the' forest resources have been "given away" or otherwise alienated. They never were and are not to -day. All but fifteen per cent. of the timbered. acres of Ontario are under the control of the Ontario Government as con- cerns measures of conservation. The right to cut timber is leased on ten million acres and the remainder of eighty million acres is still held, by the Crown. What is the meaning of a lease to an operating company? That 2 0 workmenin Ontario ,00 shall be al- lowed to draw a regular week's pay, and that 86 million dollars shall be allowed to circulate as wages each year and that 122 millions received for forest products in. Ontario shall bo enjoyed by every business interest and every workman in the province. The so-called timber baron cuts down logs worth fivedellars. Out ofthat he hands over $4.50 as wages and for materials and the remaining fifty cants he splits between interest on his investmentandtaxes to the Ontario Government, aggregating $4,400,000 a year. Strangely enough we visual- ize themotor car industry as the "life blood" of Oshawa and Walkerville and a dozen other towns, and the "meal ticket" of thousands of workmen, and at the next instant discuss the lumber business as the sinecure of a quartet of "barons" into whose purse pour untold millions wrung from a wretch- ed peasantry driven to build two -car garages with high price boards. More men have left the lumber industry in the last ten years than have entered it, and most who moved out were not financial gainers for their experience You aelc what is to be done to give Canada a permanent forest, and the Immediate and only comprehensive answer is Keep out the fires. , We citizens burn ten times the trees that l . the lumbermen have cut, and since the earliest days of Canadian history have put a torch to 600,000 square miles, as against. about 100,000 square miles utilized by all the lumbermen from coast to coast. • Please let us lay off the cry for tree. planting to produce timber until we look into a much more inviting propo- sition. An acre of human -made plan- tation of spruce is a lovely sight. How few of us know that there is in Can- ada a plantation of just 00 million densely packed acres of young forests set out by Nature without human con- trivance or expense. They lie in N`. patches from coast to coast. That 50 million acres is richer than all the gold PT' mines for its gold, grows and repeats into endless generations. All that plantation asks is that fire be kept out. If that is done that young growth will be able, under careful management, to k {; meet all Canada's needs for the future and provide de 1 a great surplus for ex- port. This is Interesting.' g. A Croatian girl while tending her sheep and her geese will generally be • found knitting.

Here is a family name, with varia- tlone, which "means just what . It says." If you bear this name you may be sure that the, particular ancestor of yours who first. bore it was a small man—unless, perhaps, he was promi- nent for his great size. At any rate, he was not of medium build. Some people find it difficult to con- ceive how such a surname as this can develop into a hereditary family name. They grant that it was . natural to speak of a John who was little, as "John Little," or "Little John." But they don't understand by what law or rule all his descendants have borne it, for in the first place the name was merely descriptive of the individual. Well, to begin with, not more than a very small percentage of the persons, to whom the name was descriptively applied passed it on to their children, Family names did not develop sudden- ly. They tools form gradually, over a period of three centuries or more. In one family the name might have be- come hereditary in twelfth cen- tury, in another in the fourteenth. Then, too, It is not uncommon for the children of small parents. to be small. So a man's son might be called Little,' not so much because his father bore the name, as because he, too, actually was undersize. As the strongest evidence that the names Little and Small developed from this descriptive source, we have the corresponding names of Pettit' and Lepetit in French. Lepetit leaves no possible doubt, being a combination of "le" and "petit" -"the small." WALDO. Racial Orlgln Gothic, or ancient French. Source -A given name. Here is a family name which does not sound English, 'a name borne by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and though it ,has been settled in England as a fami- ly nerve for many centuries, it is not an English name. It is traceable to no given names among either the Anglo-Saxons' or the Norman French, nor to any other likely source in the language of those peoples. On the other hand, it Is traceable genealogically, through the settling In England.. -of a family bear- ing that name, to a certain merchant of Lynne named Peter Waldo, who in the twelfth century attracted conseder- able attention for his denial of the church's doctrine of transubstantia- ion and his translation of tne gospels into French, or rathertheProvencal language. With this clue it is not difficult to trace his family name (and this was just the period when family names were beginning tocome into .exist- ence) to a given name among the Goths. Comparatively little is known of the language of this Teutonic rase which dominated all southern Europe after ,smashing the Roman Empire, for both the language and the customs of the Goths gave way rapidly before the superior civilization which they con- quered and settled themselves' into. Their nomenclature, however, persist- ed, exerting a powerful influence on that of modern Franco and Italy. The given name in question appal... eptly was derived from the Gothic word "Valdan," and signified "one who rules." Names ending in "o" were as typical of the Goths and the Franks as those ending in "a" were of the Anglo-Saxons.

THE INTRUDER By Rene Bizet Translated by William L, McPherson f I was eighteen years old. For the first time I was free. My parents had allowed - me to make a trip alone through the country. For a whole month I 'could -realize, my dream of rambling over the 'Breton roads, my sack on my back, without worrying about the length of the march, sleep- ing under the stars and eating my bread on the bankofa stream, Sometimes I was tired and condi- tions of travel afoot were not favor_ able. Thus one oppressive July Sun- day I regretted that I had not stopped at Sarzeau when it grew dark and the s r 1 y clouded over. I had still three good leagues to go to the next village. The southwest wind blew in squalls across the country, forcing me to stop to catch my breath. I was not dis- couraged until the rain began to fall in torrents, blinding me and alnmost. strangling me, The lightning ilhunin-. ated the horizon. The thunder and the ocean mingled their tumult so coin- pletely that I feared any minute I should reach the edge of a cliff and stumble Tato the waves below, I had given up hope of finding shelter.
