In response to a request from the council, William Thurston, Zane Forester from the Department of Lands and Forests, Stratford, out- lined to the, council the various re- forestration policies of the depart- ment. He suggested that since the 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 - AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF HAVING YOUR .

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. - liiCrs Thtia yn4►h'n, of 1 i#itdpn,. 4,. f is vi )ting at t home of ¥r, and l O. 4.101, 94.4.

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 - passionate plea to be 'allowed to tection to prevent irritating and stand on his own feet is the com- dangerous infections such as diaper mon cry of youth everywhere.

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.
