Cairns Passes The Scot has his hagis; the Eng- lishraaG has his Christmas pudding; the lucky guy ihas his doTigh. Bachelors tend to become autocrat- ic, for the simple reason that they possess no higher autocrat. iMrs. Mildred Estella Cairns, 58, of 157 Lenore St., Winnipeg, Man.." died at her residence on Tuesday, January 14th. Born in Flesherto'n, Mr%. Cairns was a daughter of Mrs. Crctesley, now of Harristo.n and the late W. P- Crossley of Flesherton, and has re- sided in Winnipeg since 1935. She wafe a member of Younig United Church at Winnipeg, and at one time was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star at Wadena, Saslk., and Gladstone, Man. Besides her sorrowing husband, who is well known in this district, she leaves ttwo daughters and seven sons, Mrs. J. L. McLelan and Bessie, both of Winnipeg; Cecil of Margot. Sask.; Jack, of Toronto; Ernest, of White Rock, B.C.; Lloyd. Elmer, Ross and Ray, all of Winnipeg. She also leaves, her mother; three sisters, Mrs. Harry Quigig, Harrifeton, Ont.; Mrs. W. A. Bentham, Toronto, and Mrs. Jas. Bowler, Detroit, Mich; also two brothers. Will, of St. Thomas, Ont., and Charles, of Toronto. The funeral of the late Mrs. Cairns was held on Friday, Jan, 17th, with service in Gardner'^ Funeral Chapel at 2:30 p.m., with Dr. W. E. Donnelly officiating. Interment was made in Brookside cemetery. The pallbearers were W. Sommerville, J. Stenhouse, M. Stewart, R. Porsythe, D. Wales and A. Wymant. Many friends her who knew Mrs. Cairns intimately tender their sincere sympathy to the family, feisters and brothers in their loss. Y'ou can't make light of this situ- ation â€" the hydro shortage. sAve eieemc/ry/ Acute Shoriuge Cotftitwes in S^fuihem Ontario With the critical shortage of power continuing in Southern Ontario, it is most necessary that everyone co-operate in saving electricity The need is urgent. It affects the welfare of everyone. Do your part by saving electricity by every means at your command. THE DAILY PERIOD DURING WHICH SAVINGS SHOULD BE EFFECTED IS BETWEEN 8 A.M. AND 8 P.M^ AND CONDITIONS ARE .PARTICULARLY ACUTE BETWEEN 4 P.M. AND 7 P.M. HiRi Mi soMB Of we WAys you can hup m we aom Turn off lights when not required.

Largest hotel in the British EJmpire, the Royal York (insert) is the first in Canada DAY-LIGHT ROOMS to put in the new-style equipment. Shown above as a parlor by day and a bedroom by night, the rooms have along one wall a luxurious chester- field unit which can be turned down inio a three-quarter b«d. The unii I for entertaining. also houses a writing desk, which be- | comes a dressing table w*hen the top is lifted, storage space for lounge cushions and bedding, a side table and radio. The rooms are perfect REFORESTATION All governments. Provincial, Coun- t.v and Township, appear to be inter- ested in reforestation. What the various governments do will be more or less of an educational matter. The need is to interest the average owner of land or tanner. Some i'arniers have already realized that ownership does not give them the right to mint the fertility of the soil and slash their wood lots, but rather them'selves as trustees who can use these things for a life-time and then turn thorn over to the next generation in as good, or better, condition than they received them. I would like to suggest a plan thai would not cost too much and would give good rebults in the not too- distant future. The Township Council could es- tablish a demonstration plot in at least four school sections of their township of' even three or four acres, it could be hillside or stoney or rough land, but should be near a public road and in many cases it could l)i located whei-e it would serve as a snow fence in a few years. Almost every famn has some so-called wa'stc land. Plant it with trees and it will waste no longer. To show in one instance what can be done we might relate that ten oi eleven years ago Angus Bowles planted two or three acres of very rough land to t.reete, pine, spruce, oak, bla^k walnut, etc. This roug'h hill- side, which was an eyesore, is now a beauty spot. Many o>f the conlferb ar^ now l2 to 16 feet high. Unfortunate- ly it is a long elistance from a public road and seldom seen by anyone. If the township should decide to di' something along the line suggested, the jjeople of the section would gladly g«t together one day each spring and plant some trees and discuss forestry. In thi's way a greater interest would Ik created. • . â€" W. A. WHBEK.
