In response to a request from the

Forester from the Department of
Lands and Forests, Stratford, out-

price of land was relatively high
in the Township of Usborne, that
the council could undertake some
reforestration work under the Mun-
icipal Reforestration Act, 1945
Amendment, wherein it is provided
that a municipal council could en-
ter into contracts with land owners
whereby the landowners would
provide and fence areas of not less
than five acres for tree planting
and the municipality would ar-
range to have trees planted there -

Harry J. Boyle, son'of Mr.
and Mrs. Boyle, James St.,
Seaforth, whose play, "The
Inheritance," is running.this
week in Toronto. Mr. Boyle'is
a writer of short stories and
radio script. This is his first
full-length play.
Animal
Husbandry
(By Joseph Lister Rutledge)
We begin to remember the tax-
payer about the middle of March
when it suddenly occurs to us that
we are part of him either as an
individual or a group. All the rest
of the year we, or our representa-
tives in .parliarpent, are busily and
pleasantly engaged in spending his'
money. We want all sorts of things.
And we don't expect to work too
hard getting them because we tell
ourselves and hear the same
thought echoed from almost every
quarter that it all comes out of
this impersonal taxpayer anyway.
Dr. Henry M. Wristen. who is
president , of Brown University at
Providence. R.I., got to thinking on
this matter and, being asked to ad-
dress a group of tax experts, he
talked about it in sound and earthy
terms. He though it was time
someone thought of the little tax-
payer guy who, as an individual, or
as a cog in some corporate under-
taking, pays for everything. Dr.
Wristen explained very carefully
that he wasn't suggesting any spe-
cial consideration or kindness.
"Kindness," he argued, "has no
more to do with the conservation
of taxpayers than it has to do with
animal husbandry. It's just good
business," he explained, "to fatten
up animals before you. slaughter
them and the taxpayer should be
treated the same way . . . At the
present time we are cropping pro-
fits that need to be plowed back
into the soil like legumes," just to
keep the taxpayer alive and tax-
able."
Doesn't that make quite a bit of
sense in the light of what is hap-
pening around us? In Britain, for
instance, they are running out of
rich, taxable people, so they have
to go after the small fry, and that
means cut-backs in Comforts and
rights and securities. And all be-
cause of a failure to recognize a
basic fact, that if you are sending
steers to market it pays to fatten
them up. And if you are expecting
to pay for all manner of benefits
by taxation,.there needs to be en-
ough profit left to the individual
or corporation to make the taxing
worth while. -

editorial staff of the Stratford. $ea-
coil -Heald. He is program 'direc-
tor for the Trans -Canada network
of the Canadian Broadcasting Cor-
poration.
His new play, a three -act drama
of rural Ontario life, is an adapta=
tion of his radio play, "The Mac-
Donalds of Oak Valley," itnhith
aroused wide interest last spring
when it was heard on C.B.C.'s Stage
49 program. It is probably the
first radio play to be expanded and
developed for the legitimate stage;
usually the process is reversed.
Incidentally, listeners Sunday
night heard another of Mr. Boyle's
rural Ontario plays, "The Widow
and the Waitress," which was
featured on Stage 50 over the Do-
mini4n network.
"The Inheritance" is a play
which is likely to arouse .consider-
able controversy among critics. Its
technique is new. Scenes are
brief and numerous, as in a radio
play, -with the lowering of lights
substituting for the radio's upsurge
of music to mark the passage of
time between scenes. The pace is
leisurely, unhurried at the start,
the tempo increasing steadily as
the story unfolds. Yet it has an
inevitable quality about it, as if
the every -day story could happen
in no other way.
The play has its roots in the
good earth of this part of Ontario,
which Mr. Boyle knows and loves.
The home of the MacDonalds . in
Oak Valley might be in Perth or
Huron or Oxford County—in North
Easthope, perhaps, or in Wawa
nosh or Zorra—anywhere the Scot-
tish settlers took land in the days
of the Canada Company. As a
matter of fact, the play does local-
ize itself in the district around
Lochalsh.
The plot is not involved. It deals
with the simple, elemental loves
and conflicts and loyalties which
snake up life. Its strength lies in
its characters, and these Mr. Boyle
has drawn with skilled hand. They
are real people — nothing of the
stragey down -on -the -farm folks
about them, but living personalities
whose problems and reactions are
understandable.
Gramp MacDonald, the patriarch
whose love for his children does
not permit him to see their need
for independence, is a heroic fig-
ure, He is typical of the honest,
righteous Scots who down through
the years have taken seriously
their stewardship of the land
which is theirs, as a trust from
God for generations still unborn.
There is reason back of his stub-
bornness over changing customs
and modern ideas; even his stern
refusal to have a tractor on his
acres can be understood.
Equally reasonable seems the
younger son Jim's revolt over the
whole patriarchal idea, and his Your baby needs constant pro

ture of life on an Ontario farm in
1922. There is pawky humor and

gathers around the kitchen table

are sure of being' together during
the day. Red Sandy MacRae, the
scandal of the community and the

away. The grandson, Billy, is the
average small boy around the
farm.
The women in the play—Annie,
the daughter-in-law, Mary, the
school teacher, and Jessie, the
granddaughter — are less sharply
defined than the men, but they fit
into their surroundings. Possibly
on the farm in 1922 the women did

Science
turned their
backs on
the target
Science is playing an increasingly im-
portant role in Canada's new Army. In
heavy anti-aircraft, for example, com-
plex radar equipment predicts to with-
,. in a few feet exactly where the target
is and will be. The gunners, their backs to the target, fire
with amazing accuracy by instrument.
Training men in the use of modern scientific equip-
ment is a major requirement in Canada's new Army.
Thousands of young men are attending some of the finest
schools in the country, specializing in electronics, radar,
radio and telephone. In addition, there are openings for
clerks, drivers, mechanics and many other trades.
New higher pay, good food and quarters, trades train-
ing _and the opportunity for advancement make the
Canadian Army Active Force one of the most attractive
careers open to young men today. You are eligible if you
are 17 or over and can meet Army requirements. Visit
your nearest recruiting office soon for full details. Bring
