MANY IMPROVEMTS ARE MADE IN FLESH ERTON CHURCH ^ The congregation of the Flesher- ton Baptist Church have made many splendid improvements in their church in the past few weeks. They have had the roof shingled, the tc- side painted and a new lighting system installed. Many of the old trees and bushes from around the i side and front of the building have been removed and the ground leveled up ready for planting grass. A new sidewalk has been put along the side of the church and a new door opened on the left side. They also have had a new pulpit made. We wish to compliment the members on their fine work. why Stream* i/ry up King township has a lesson f<jr the nation. It is a horrible example of what follows in the wake of fere*: removal. Not that it is worse than a lot of v-ther townships. It isn't. It just happened tj be the township that was selected by forest conser- vationists for a survey. The results f the survey were sketched to the recent meeting of th* Canadian Socie- ty of Technical Agriculturalists at the Ontario Agricultural College by Prof. A. F. Coventry of Toronto. The headliner was that this York County township had eight times as many running streams 100 years ago as today. Over 60 per cent of all the streams still running dry up for a part of the year, and in the most highly developed section agricultur- ally there is not now one permanent stream. The essential relationship between bush land a nd water conservation was illustrated by the speaker in one tell- ing instance. A local grist mill was <f rving its community with the water power of a small stream. The eutt- :r-.K of five acres of bush from the water shed of that stream so de- creased the flow that the mil! had to close for lack of water. With the removal of the forest.* beyond the safety limit, there goes :i'.?i> a terrific national loss through soil erosion. Prof. Coventry here lid not limit himself to King town- ship. He had slides form photo- graphs taken all ovvr Ontario to show that this toss is genera! and occurs in all types of soils. And the remedy? The conservation of farm bush lots still remaining, private n'.antingr of trees on parts of the farm not well suited to tillage, and extensive reforvstration of non-arable 'and by municipal, county and provin- cial authority. SNOWPLOW CONTRACT GIVE TO H. McC ALLEY A meeting of the Beaver Valley Highway* Association was held Fri- day night in the Ueatacote skating rink to open a,ni consider the tenders for the snowpkw contract on the highway from Bowley s Corner, rhornbury to Hoy's Corner on the, Siagtiaampton-Flesherton highway Tenders were submitted by Howard ilcCaolty of Flesherton, David Gra- ham and David Webber of lumber - ley. The contract was awarded to Howard McCauley a: $3.10 per hour. The question of plowing out Rasaeil street from Marsh street to the Unioa Cemetery will come up for future discussion. This is the divuing line, between the municipalities of Thorn- bury and Clarksburg. i In Memoriam In loving memory of GUELPH WINS FIRST SOFTBALL GAME Gueh>h won the first irame from v !eshertort 4-1 on Monday, in the 'irst r'lind of the Ontario play-offs.

Women do not like to knit with black wool. It is hard on the eyes. So Knitters there's a suggestion that will help. When knitting with black wool, place a white napkin or towel on your lap.
