But cows and sheep and wild animals cannot eat a plank. When seeking a vacation spot for beauty, we don't visit a lumber yard. We can't hunt bears and moose and elk among 'heaps of -twosby-fours and shingles, Neither will a' barrier of planks and beams protect our vast watersheds "or hold back floods. All of. which means that a passable substitute for construction wood or even paper-making wood could but where will we seck grazing, re- creational, wild life, and land-conserv- ing benefits without these green and growing trees? I- was raised, and maybe you_were too, in the era of réckless and wanton exploitation of the. original virgin woodlands, My. country's richest na- bob made a fortune felling timber and rafting\sawlogs to the mills. A few of the wiser ones used "selective cut- ting" and some even did some replac- ing. --But-for-the-most-part,-these-old ravages were crazy for immediate pro- fit in an expanding country crying for timber products; and they behaved like a lot of ignorant boys robbing birds' nests; --One- of -my--relatives- was--en- gaged in the business amid the booms, but he was just an axman and did what-he-was-paid-to-plunder;---But-the same thing happened to the wild buf- falo and. the Indian--they got in the way of somebody who didn't know their real worth, __However,. times and, minds have changed. Lately I saw a "smoke-jump- er demonstration in a large eastern city, staged by the U.S. Forest Ser- vice to show how a thorough but dan- gerous-task can be handled byetrained: parachutists leaping from low-flying planes over burning glades of wood- land. , But that stunt from the air was perhaps not the big point. Right after the évent, a meeting was held to give recdgnitior> to a number of vital busi- ness executives who had done yeoman work to further the public welfare in preventing needless waste of natural forest resources. -- All this change of heat doesn't come late either. Nature is still operating, and organized study and action to aid her efforts are commendable even at some temporary sacrifice of rugged independénce- and temporary profits: That we still -have some ' wood "re- sources to rely upon, thanks to new attitudes of recent years, is shown by the fact that in the stress of World War II we were able to find timber products enough' -at hand without too effort. How stupendous this wood usage was for all manner 'of construc- tion ang shipping is indicated by esti- mates Mat it was equal. to the volume of lumber which would build a' city the size of Chicago. Much of that was dissipated," lost at sea, bombed and* burned; or lost abroad. Yet the significant "idea is that we had it to squander in an emergency, ironically putting a still higher building cost on new houses for new families, too often 'jerry- -built" and shoddy. For our security this country is said %o_ have land enough to grow all the trees we need to make timber, plus that safe margin we have found so es- sential, and even for a little export huginess tgo. But we must bolster, up our management a lot or"this timber- land won't be much to lean upon, Out of the 624 million acres of forests, somewhere near 460 million acres are classed as "commercial" property and type. - Some: of this land is idle, de- nuded, poorly stocked, some is just pole timber or saplings; and a third of it second-growth saw. timber. Only 12 million acres are 'of tiptop virgin "uality, Complaint is common about thé re. tail price pald at local lumber yafds and the green condition of Bo much wood going into new. houses, This has its. factual background. About one- + |third of the nation's saw timber is de- rived from less-than 10 per cent. of the lcommercial forest land, loeated in the Pacific. Northwest. There is not enotigh' growing stock left in the east- ern forest tracts to keep up the pre- sent 'tate of demand, "Low.value hardwoods and scrub stock: occupy |large areas suitable for: growth of something better, Forest experts remind us that our communing with nature in the wild,| be found, if worst comes to worst--|. much' loss to carry on the detailed | "On The Shores of Scugog" Well Illustrated Local History -- $1.65 at Bear Office 2% It is said to exceed the Volume of growth by about 50 per cent, Cutting accounts for almost 90 per cent, of this drain-and the rest is cauged by fire, insects, disease, and neglect, Present dependence for {pdequate timber supplies rests mainly on pri- vately owned land. Here the manage- ment practices are not as. good as many believe they could be. About three quarters 'of the commercial for- ests are in private hands and ong quarter of the land is owned by state, federal, and local governments, Forest figures say that about one fourth of the private woodland stands in medium and large holdings of 5000. acres or over. Of this part of the cerns and individuals hold sway, pos- sibly less than 4,000 owners in all. Then we have the other three fourth owned in tracts of varying sizes, all 5,000--neres--or--less;-- decidedly tess: More than half of this portion lies in farms and the rest in non-farm tracts RELATIONSHIP {NEWSPAPER commercial area, lomber and pulp con- BETWEEN THE AND ADVERTISER "The-relationship between the news- paper and its advertisers is as impor- tant to the newspaper reader as it is to the publisher, Newspapers are subservient to the advertisers who pro- vide the revenue upon which the news- paper exists. This erroneous impres- sion has, been gathered: because the average person knows that the news- paper must have advertising to exist, and therefore if he happens to be a suspicious turn of mind; he concludes that the advertiser must set the policy of the newspaper. Not only is such a suggestion un- (rye, but it is unfair both to the news- paper and. to the advertiser. Prac- tically every publisher "will tell you that few merchants ever: attempt te dictate the policy of the newspaper. They may express opposition to soma | p [often owne 1t foots up to somewhere near fodr 'million indivi- duals with an average forest property of possibly 65 acres apiece. - "Only about 8 or 10 jer cent of .the present harvest of timber _on_ private lands is such as to measure up to fair- ly good standards of practice. More than 60 per cent of the cutting on pri- vate lands is said to be miserably de- structive or poor, to say at least. The best and' highedt percentage of excel lent cuttings is that done on Inrger properties. Farm properties~do not] ret np good rating on cutting niethods, ns seen by officinl foresters. They are rated 73 per cent. poor or harm- ful, 23 per cent just fair, and only 4 per cent. good.. So it simmers down after the pot is stirred to the fact. that the level of forestry management for public in- terest can be bettered chiefly by find- ing ways to induce the ones who have small tracts to improve their system for the future. Grazing of woodlands by stock and serious overcutting by untrained persons are two major rea- sons why the farms show up so poorly. The best way to bring about a gradual improvement is worth "discussion 'in any rural 'meeting, but to let it be after-a talkfest gets us nowhere. In essence, the job that we have cut out for us is to practically double the estimated annual saw-timber growth of 35 to 40 billion board feet each and every year, It's a plant. expert's job, as well as one for the engineer, and the Extension Service worker, and the growing stock in sufficient volume of healthy trees so that when one yéar's crop-is harvested there will be plenty more coming along to provide next year's crop. I've never seen a farmer yet who néglected to provide enough seed and fertilizer and machinery and rotation had harvested and stored his: current season's abundance, Just why we should adopt one system of careful a(- vance planning in a vast field of vege: tative husbandry and put no thought whatever to similar foresight with the world's tallest and most vaJuable plant life is har® to understand, I presume the answer is that in the. development of this country we have regarded both trees ind grass as out- right natural" gifts-----wild life which had no claim on. man for culture or maintenance. It's only in recent years and woodlands as regular farm crops. If Nature's herbaceous resources served only. to please the eye and vary the scenery, or. give comfort to wild animals and vacationists, we would be amply justified in adopting them and becoming stewards for their per- petual welfare, But you can pick up an sclentific guide to the treasures locked insite of trees and find startling evidence that a dwindling timber supply threatens huge industries, and strikes at the in- comes of thousands of dally, bread- saw-timber drain is biting us hard. winners, teacher.

The successful merchant is usually successful hecause he is an honorable man, and few would -stoop:to.- the- level of threatening a newspaper because its publisher had. different ideas on a given question than the ad- vertiser. The relationship between the adver- tiser and the newspaper is similar to that which exists between a merchant amd his customer, only in this case the publisher is-the merchant and the ad- verliser the customer, purchases space in the newspaper be- cause he has a story to tell the readeis of theapaper. He uses advertising as 0 legitimate means of drawing custom to his store. If the newspaper - con- tinues to provide the service required and adequate returns. for the invest- 'ment the merchant continues to ad- vertise. When he fecdls he is not get- ting that value he ceases to advertise. That--teo--is-- the relationship which exists between any other merchant and his customer. So long as the customer feels he is getting good value and sei- vice from the store, he continues to be a customer. When value and service cease he 'takes his trade elsewhere. _------------------------------ Leonard's Cleaners ~ WHITBY, ONT. Let us takeeareof your cleaning problems.
