PAGU ?WO - ZBI ANAMJAN STA M AN. BOWMA&NVH£.LE ONTARIO0 E170R UIIALS Durham County Man - Pioneer in Reforestation An editor always appreciates items of local interest sent in by aur readers, as our reporters and rural correspondents, unfortunately, are flot equipped with the diall-seeing eyes" to report ail the happen- ings that appeal ta aur subscribers. A case in point happened recently when Dr. Albert E. Allun, Fort William, and a mem- ber of that charmed circle of "illustriaus sons'of Durham County," baving been born at Hampton, sent us a clipping from "Forest and Outdoors" magazine. The clipping contained a photo and a brief summary of the life of Dr. B. J. Zavitz, the Dean of Foresters in Ontario. In the artiole it stÈted lie was a grandson of Edmund Prout of Darlington Township, who planted the firat reforestation acreage in Durham County. This was news ta the editor and im- mediately aroused bis curiosity to get more particulars about this important pioneer effort in conservation, as well as the life's story of Dr. Zavitz, for he, tao, according ta the stary, was entitled ta be designated a distinguisbed Durham County boy, onie generation remaved. .A letter to Dr. Zavitz seeking more information about bis life work in refor- On Accepting When the class of '55 applies for jobs the personnel people will pay special at- tention to the youth who showed evidence in bi& school and university years of bav- ing ability and willingness to accept responsibility, according ta the Royal Bank's monthly letter. He may bave heid a post on the student council, or on the school paper, in direction of sports or in the organizing of class or school activities of one sort or another. In some way, flot necessarily a big way, the most desired young man or young woman applying for a position in business will bave) shown capacity ta, shoulder responsibility. It 'Itakes al sorts of people to keep the business of the world moving. One man can look after bimself who could flot guide others, and bis is an important place in life. It sci bappens that young people - and mnen and Women of the ciass of '45 or '35, too - Wvha cari be -trusted with ne- sponsibiity for managing and onganizing and dispatching business are less numeraus and are therefore eagerly sought. * No departmnent in industry or business ivili run itself efficiently. It rieeds a lead- er. Even an orchestra with a skiiled performer in every seat must have a man on the podium ta lead. The greater the Campaign estation was accauntable for this genial and graciaus octogenarian making a special motor trip ta Bowmanville where we spent a most enjoyable and profitable bour in the editor's sanctum. It was truly a fascinating story as lie unravelled, bit by bit, his yauthful activities and life am- bitions in wbich he has become -the recog- nized pioneer and dean of foresters in Ontario. On another page in this issue you will find a most informativFe article on refor- estationi in Ontario and Durham County, during the past 50 years, based on aur interview with Dr. Zavitz. Conservation is an important project which deserves the wholehearted support of every citizen who is sincerely interested in the future prasperity and success of this country. Theré is a part each of us can contnibute ta this end. We hope some time there will be other namnes than "reforestation" and diconservation," with glamor and appeal, which will catch the enthusiasm, imagina- tion and appeal of our citizens to dig in and do their part to overcome the ivaste- fui and careiess siaugliter of our forests, It is the No. 1 probleni of future genera- tions' survival. Responsibility virtuosity of the musicians, the greater the need for a man who wiil be responsible for keeping them in harmony. What fits a man to accept responsibil-' ity? H-e bas to have intellectual ability, knowledge of men, imagination, energy, -enthusiasm, the quality of prompt de- cision, and a personaiity that wins people to do bis will. There is a proverb to the effect that an army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army, of lions led by a sbeep. There are two sorts of responsibility in business: the sense of responsibility of the man who is on bis way up, and the sense of responsibility of the man who has arnived. As be progresses in years and position, a man develops a feeling of general responsibility instead of a spirit of private adventure. Tbere are three ways in which the young person entering business sbould try to prove bis capacity to bear re- sponsibility: bie sbould accept accounta- bility for bis actions, hie should demon- strate bis dependability with reference to things - money, commodities or tasks - ailotted to bis custody, and he sbould show bis competency Io act on general instruc- tions without detailed guidance. to Recruit More School- Teachers The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, made up of 700 Boards of Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce, of which Bowmanvilie is an active member, always bas upper- niait in its activities plans for doing something constructive for the betterment of Canada and its people. The latest project this nation-wide orgariization is promating is to increase the number of teachers in Canadian schools, which a survey shows are terribly lacking in every province across the bominion. Every Chamber across the count ry is being asked ta take part in this recruit- ing program in the belief that the "prob- lemi of adequately stafflng our educational institutions in oun expanding ecanomy is one of paramount importance ta the future of Canada." The announcement said that under the impetus of provincial chambers "a meet- ing could be arranged of businessmen and educationists, including representatives of the provincial department of éducation, in order to set up'a province-wide coni- mittee ta give considération ta the problem and plan action.. . . The, chamber suggested arrangements witb newspapers and radio and television outiets ta publicize teaching; a survey of salary scales and releases to infonni tax- payers if revisions are necessary, and co- opération with school administrators ta ensune good equipment and supplies. Deniocracy isn't a bargain basemer special. You can't buy it cut-rate merel b'y elbowing a sufficient number of rib and squashing every toe between you an the bargain counter. It is something yci purchase with a maximum of sacrifice ari a minimum of trumpeting. Above ail, yci can't buy it unless you recognize it. Perbaps too many of us are ý,hoppirj these days for a slashed-price democrac: only to find that when we want to use il it ign't reaily what we need. True de mocracy has two essentiali irgredients They rnay be calied "'freedom from" an( "freedom for." Anid they so depend or each other that one can't work withou' the other. Briefly, "freedom from" ensures ue immunity from intolerance, totalitariar gov'ernment, unjust working conditione and fear of ail the evils that caîi enchai: the human spirit. A littie logic, however, will convince us there's no sense in being free "from" something unless we're f rec "for" somnething else. And it is just this extra step in reasoning that n>eans the difference between a sham, non-durable demnocracy and the real product that costs only a littie more, but carnies a lifetimé guarantee.

Safety Rules for Children Is More than 15 pedestnians are kiiled n rand 140 injuned eacb week in Canada- many of them children-acconding to the g Ail Canada Insurance Federation. ýe ýs Officiais of the Fedenation, which ,e represents more than 200 fire, automobile e and casualty insurance companies, said ýschldren should be tauglit the rules at eschool and at home. According to insurance experts, ex- amples set by parents and teachers are more effective in teaching safety rules to chldren than scolding on punishment. They reconimend the following pnecau- tions for chiidnen: 1. Always walk facing oncoming traffic where there are no sidewalks. At niglit, carry a fiashlight or sanie easily- seen abject. 2. Watch carefuliy for cars turning corners. 3. Neyer jump an or off moving vehicles. Don't play behind parked cars or trucks. 4. Always look ta lef t and niglit be- fore crossing street or leaving buses or street cars. 5. Cross streets only at intersections, when traffic liglits are green. 6. Neyer çghase a bail into street, or dart suddenly in front cf cars. 7. Be particularly caneful crossng streets in wet weather; cars require great- er stapping distance when roads are slip- pery. 8. Policemen will help you cross streets safely; obey theni. 9. Aiways walk to and frorn school by the safeat route. MZ.ý 49 TEARS AGO (1906 ) J. B.

News of Vietory Aiter a lew weeks ai inten- sive wark in Arnhem, the great news came that Germany had surnendered.

As we were trying ta pack aur gear for a fast move inta the western part ai the Netheniands where the -major part ai aur future work was ta be cannied out, it was quite a scramble. Momentariiy, we expected aur arders ta get underway before the Germans bad an oppatunity ta hurn their documents and the high Nazi political brass were able ta go underground in the Ger-1 man anmy, or elsewhere.

Excitement reaohed new levels as I tare open the message. Ail it contained was a wire ai thanks fnom Prime Ministen Mackenzie King ex- pressing Canada's appreciation ai aur part in the campaign in Italy. It was a gaod job there wasn't an election the next day or inmairaid aur votes might have gane elsewhere. Crazy With Joy Four days later we took off for the city ai Utrecht, mnoving in behind a reconnaisance out- fit in scout cars. All along tthe route, German soldiers' com- piete with thein weapons gnîm- ly watched us pass. There ivent na smiles on their faces, but the Dutch peaple went compietelv' crazy with jay.
