lumbering as in other wartime industries canadas lumber production dropped more than 3ooj00oxmo board feet during the period from 1041 to iu4 and steps were taken to provide more woods men special labor priorities were granted the lum bering industry farmers were urged to go into the woods in winter even prisoners of war were put to worn and the lumber price and subsidy structure w r all these factors helped greatly in hasping the dominions wood production from falling to a dan gerous low but we are not yet over the hump and new appeals are at present being made far men in the woods it is expected that during im4 require ments of the united kingdom and the combat areas for canadian timber and wood products will increase greatly and every effort is being made to hold the line on the timber front at home men who now go new and unskilled into the forests to help lumbering over its wartime difficul ties will be aiding a vital industry to do its full war share and to keep in

elections are over in acton for 1045 the vote of the electors has been recorded and their decision has been made what will be done with the decision remains to be divulged the point that appears most peculiar is that in every type of contest a referee umpire or judge is appointed before the contest to see that the event is carried out in accord with the rules laid down even a horse race has some one to make a decision on the outcome there may be such an individual whose duty it is to make decisions in municipal elections but if there is no one seems to be able to recall who is the individual or board of judges the irregularity in acton elections is public knowledge we have no regret in that we helped to inform the public before the voting it will be an interesting point to electors generally to bud the referee or can it be that with all the municipal legislation on the statute books thst this appointment has been overlooked it certainly should not be the obliga tion of a defeated candidate to start any proceedings but who is the rerereein municipal affairs whose dnty it is to see that thegamo is played according to jhe rules x v no point in indecision it is rather interestlngjonote that while halton county council had the information the matter of j county assessor was shelved until next year such was not the case in peel county where at the last meeting ainslio sherman was engaged as supervis ing assessor at a salary of 2000 a year with an office in brampton and a car allowance o 500 yearly under the plan in peel county we learn that assessors reports of the various municipalities will come under the supervision of the new appointee and it is hoped that by this plan an equitable equalization will be struck in which no town or township will have a grievance it may be asking too mucii but such an arrangement is worth hoping for just why halton county deferred action in the matter is not quite clear it would seem thst most f the councillors favored the plan certainly if delay is continued the county will face the expense of an equalization ve note that in peel toronto township appealed against the equalize assessment and this appeal resulted in council giving serious consideration to the plan of appointing a supervising canadians should look coolly and clearly at the governments proposed solution of the army rein forcement issue tho issue at the the bottom of this whole tragic and debilitating crisis has been from the first tangled upjjn side issues personal antipath ies and poorly disguised manocuvrings for party ad vantage two facts stand out clearly i tho government has now introduced overseas conscription arrangements have been definitely made to send 10000 men overseas now and to send more over lster as required by orderiucouncil this arrangement gives canada the immediate real izable advantages of conscription the number of men military authorities say are needed are being provided 2 an election at this time would be a calamity there is still a vital job of warwinning to do as the reinforccmnt issue has made very clear this is not n time when canada can afford the luxury of election wrangling when she can tolerate any interference wih the work gf the warmaking machinery which has so laborlouslybeen built up v very comforting during the recent controversy of sending drafted soldiers overseas many telegrams and resolutions were forwarded to members of parliament and gov ernment leaders but we found tho prize one in a neighboring exchange last week its so good it will stand repeating at a meeting of the womens progressive conservative association of burlington halton county held thia evening it was moved and unanimously approved that we express to you our deep anxiety as to the results of present session but assure you of our unswerving confidence in the decisions of you and your associates the telegram was sent to hon john bracken and addressed to ottawa truly the
