the georgetown herald wednesday december 2nd 1942 t a feature page news parade 07 j ueo i the rural woodpile we came across a very interesting article the other day the rural woodpile author unknown so we cant give credit where credit is due the blanket of now over the weekend and the wintry picture remind ed ui of this article so we thought our readers might be interested in it too then again we have been too busy with the election this week to write our own column it used to be a familiar axiom in the rural dis trict that one could judge the kind of farmer by his woodpile however these days woodpiles in this dis trict have dwindled so badly that if that were the only axiom by which to judge the farmer then he wouldnt be judged at all far too many farms have no wood piles the farmer like the villager has gone modern and heats his home with coal we always thought it was a great mistake that every crown deed handed out to settlers in this country did not contain a clause requiring that five acres of bush must have been retained for every 100 acres of land what that would have meant to the farmers today can scarcely be estimated every stick of wood burned in the furnace or atove this winter will be a direct contri bution toward the solution of the fuel situation and an aid to the transportation of coal too many were anxious to get rid of the mod est woodpile but somehow we are old fashioned enough to imagine that the honest farmer who likes his job is the one who pauses or stops a moment at the open woodshed door after the chores are done and the live stock comfortably bedded down for the night to look at the pile of winter wood theres comfort in the so lid tiered rows piled to the shed rafters we cannot farm but we like the looks of those long piles of wood seen here and there running for some length in the far mers lane a woodpile is a memory that many a city man cherishes as he sits high in a symmetrically organized mass of concrete brick and steel the farmer how ever remembers the days of chopping in the woodlot the hauling and the sawing the splitting and the piling as he turns toward the light shining down the path from the kitchen window he is glad that he got up o lar ger woodpile than usual this year it took a long time georgetown tatcpaycrs are slow when it comes to iving urouud ovei municipal matters for years very little interest was evri shown at nomination meet ing und very few attended thus giving thow in office or thow- impiring to office the feeling that no matter what happened the ratepayers were satisfied but this year it was different for there was plenty doing and many attended we had often heard of the fiery meetings held at towntliip nominations but did not think local rate payers could be aroused from their lethargy to take un active port in the nomination meeting and ask questions and present opinions it was certainly gratifying to this corner a it no doubt was to the members of the present council to know that their efforts were not passed by without some recognition some constructive criticism advanced or their attention drawn to any mis takes which might have been made in the post it is a healthy condition for any town when the ratepayers how their interest in the municipal body and the way in which public business is conducted to top off this interest ratepayers should not fail to go to the polls on monday there are plenty of candidates in the field and some thought should be given beforehand to chooae the right men for the job bid cross bends out first hotuxe blood donor unit she ontario division ot

think tilers era two main ratines for these temporary and local shortages for tbe past year we have been consistently using 10 to 15 more butter than in normal lime with consequent disturbance to the distribution of our batter supplies many people have been baying more batter than they currently need the limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fset that if every home would reduce its contumption of butter by only one ounce per person per week for tho average home this means a quarter of a pound a week or if we reduced our national contumption to the peacetime rate the shortage would toon disappear there is no reason for panic buying for housewives to ruth out to beat their neigh- butter will not be rationed to meet the present situation butter production is actually above normal for this time of year the board itself is taking special action which it is believed will speedily restore normal supplies in retail stores these supplies will however be adequstof6r normal
