area plan is spreading fast in srey and bruce counties under the present ar rangements of grants and other advantages the plan offers it does seem that the area plan is the most efficient way of rural school management those townships which have not adopted the area should in fairness to all ratepayers thoroughly investigate the new plan and make inquiry in municipalities where it has been tried for a few years there in no point in adhcaring to old systems which have nothing but their antiquity to commend them v nearine the twelve million mark if canada had the same rate of increase in popu lation during the past year as it had in the previous year the nations population must now be approxi mately 12000000 figures released at ottawa recently indicated that the population in june 1043 was 1812000 as compared with 11054000 in juno 1042 the estimate was based upon the count of the births and deaths recorded and on the counts of the first three ration books issued as might be expected quebec had the largest increase 67000 jumping from 3300000 to 3457 000 ontario being second increasing by 33000 from 3884000 to 3017000 judging by these figure and keeping in mind the annual increases it may not be long before quebec replaces ontario as the largest province a fact of which ontario people should be increasingly aware li v t reforestation pays interest in canadas forest wealth and its con servation is increasing private individuals mun icipal councils and provincial forestry departments are undertaking projects to return submarginal land unfit for cultivation to forest growth tho potential value of these projects has severil aspects as a commercial investment reforestation is providing for the expansion of one of canadas most valuable natural resources in 1030 forest per- mitted woods operations to the value of 157747308 industry involved represented an investment of i98jooo000 gave employment during the logging season to 277240 people and distributed more than

prevention of erosion are closely linked with reforestation moisture is retained iri the earth and given better distribution in forested land than in barren areas it has been found that fields with heavier snow cov ering because of nearby tree snow fence produce better crops the following year what probably counts most with the individual tree planter is pride in possession and growth he starts

these lands by planting trees poetwar marat fcm just what will be the statusof our educational system after the war is difficult to visualize in these days the need tor youth in various place to sup plement the manpower shortage has made the school year as it aras defined before the war rather abbrev iated either the course of study has suffered or it may be that like other things the necessity of speed in war times has proven that there are shortcuts and more simplified methods in securing the same training in the shorter period at any rate after the war is over young folks are apt to remember these short cuts it may be im pressed on the educationalists too that there was in our prewar courses many things that served no useful purpose other than training more people the same thing but no accomplishment just where the standard will find a common meeting place for the youth who secured their education through one or several of the means open and those who have gone through the prescribed courses will be a 64 ques tion it would appear that one of the post war activities or inactivities will be some drastic changes in our educational standards no doubt many of the short cuts discovered in wartime will stay just at the present time our educational system is in a rather contradictory position v holiday time these are holiday times for most everyone and those who work on newspapen arc just like other folk who in spite of the intensely interesting nature of their work relish getting away from it for a brief period the day may come when we will join in the custom that many weekly newspapers have and miss an issue so that a uniform holiday can be had it may even be that we wont have to arrange any such event but that it too will come under some sort regulations of some governing body however such is not planned or regulated this year and our staff will take holidays at various periods which will not interfere seriously with publication schedules during this time it may not be possible to render the usual prompt printing service it would help a lot in publishing the paper if advertisers and correspondents and everyone would have their copy in the office as early iti the weok as possible errors may creep in more frequently as others us sume unfamiliar tasks dont be too critical there may be some other unavoidable occurrences during vacation time but we know we will have your co operation and forbearance v simple but efficient visiting a farm home recently it was refreshi ig to meet a couple for whom the filing of the farmers income tax forms had no fear it was the first time we had seen the farmers forms and not knowing the extent of the bookkeeping we were hestitant about any comment in comparison with those of others they seemed fairly simple provided of course records had been kept it was pleasant to learn that on this farm records and books had been kept we were shown a home- made book with all the farm receipts and expendi tures and the various headings were neatly tabulated we were told that bookkeeping had been in practice on that farm for many years and it was found help- ful in more ways than for filing income tax papers accurute records and attention to all details had been helpful in discharging the mortgage on this farm the system employed was one that was easily understood perhaps there are prepared books now available prepared by experts but we liked the sini plicity of this ono that had by years of experience been found practical a little study would allow any couple to make up such a book without doubt it would be interesting and helpful even if it only gave that feeling that was in that home that farmers had little to complain about in the income tax return v editorial notes those speed limit signs

refreshing of appetities again j v with the close of schools vacations are being planned by many in these days the valation is bound to bo more restful than in the days of a few years back when it was popular with many folks to sec how much road could be covered in a given week oi two week period and get back on the job in time to punch the clock at the day after holidays v we expect to see a decidedly progressive govern ment in saskatchewan but we do not expect to sec a very socialistic one says the editor of toronto saturday night if mr douglas government were to do anything strongly
