The market va- lue of the products o! these ftinms exceeds $232,000,000,", said J. Dillon of the Ontario de- pantmcnt o! lands and forests, Toronto, in his short addrcss ta the membens o! the United caunties council at Cobourg last week. "With such an emnploymcnt roll and with such a high mar- ket rating. il should not be bard to understand how important the prevention of forest fines treally is," Mr. Dillon added. He was appealing ta the Counties Council ta introduce a byiaw which would enabie the Uni- ted Counties ta take some pos- itive action in fine preventiail work. J. Kcddie. another officiai of the department of lands and foresîs, Lindsay. had previously invited the council members ta send municipal employces 10 a fine prevention school which the department would be holding in the early sping wherc the representatives wou- Id be taught the latest special equipment for the fighting of such fines. 2.000 Fîres "In the southern Ontarioara- ca during the past f jvc ycars," Mn. Dillon said, "there have been more than 2,000 forest fires .and while il is the aim of aur educational pnogram to prevent such outbreaks, we have leanned, aver the past 25 years, certain techniques which enable us ta combat such tires when they break out.

While. il is truc, we do nat know ail the aaswers, we do know a few." Mr. Dillon tbld the council members that fighting tires in the forest required different procedures 10 that which might occur in a town. The fire is usually on a much wider front and is apt ta travel fast and sometimes those who are accu- pied in fighting it have ta make quick decisions. 'whether ta iet the fine burn out in a heavily waodcd section or allow il 10 seep in a new forested area. These techniques plus familiar- ization with new lire equip- ment would form the major portion of the training plan which the department hopes ta put int action at the school ta be held in the early spring. Need Bylaw "What we are concerned with at the present, however, is the adoption of a bylaw which would enable you, as a munici- pality, to take necesary action on forest tires," he said. Some municipalities have adopled by- iaws with penalty clauses which have been found ta be effective. "What we seek is the full co- aperation of each municipality. If in any prevention wonkc you may need signs, you may apply ta the department for thein, for they are immediately avail- able. I need not remind you Ihat any action which you take will prove ta you that protec- tion is worthwhile. Having heard both Mr. Dill- on and Mn. Keddie, council de- ferred action.

MO VIE RE VIE W THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL Royal Theatre, Dec. 2 - 3 - 4 The pairing of Marilyn Mon- roe and Sir Laurence Olivier is one of the strokes of show- manship genius o! the yean which, when first announced, captured page anc space in the most august dailies of the coun- try. The resuits of that piquant and curiaus collaboration is a sophisticated, high-style period comedy of delightful illusion and Iremendous heant. "The Prince and thec Show- girl," although wntten: in the form o! a comcdy of wit, is pretly much a one-joke show. That il is sa much genuine fun can be directly attributed ta Miss Monroe, whose perform- ance is a practically perfect projection of a captîvating per- sonality (the mark o!f a true star) and ta Olivier, who is at top formn both as actor and pro- ducer-director. The script by Terreace Rat- tigan, based on his play, "The Sleeping Prince," is a fragile piece, indeed. Set in London in 1911 duris'sg the coronation o! George V, it concerns the ad- ventures of a lttle Milwaukee chorus girl who catches the eye of a pompous prince. the ruler of the mythical Balkan kingdom of Carpathia. The one joke us that though he sets out ta seduce her, she captures his heart, singlc-handedly setîles some hanky-panky about a revoit ini his country and awakens him ta his respon- ibilities as a father. That's the whole story. The individual scenes. how- even, are often hilarious: the first midnight rendezvous when bhc nervous showgirl, oven- whelmed at dining with a prince and flot knowing how ta ad- dress him, tries "Your ducal ...Your Highness . . . Your Regency" and finally adds "Oh, ta Hcll with il," or when, aven- hearing him make some saide remarks about American for- ciga policy, she offers a brave toast ta Pre§ident Taft. Though seduction is the theme, it's tratcd quiiite irciuspccly in PRESENTLY IN TRAINING AS CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANTS Left to right, Frances Begg, Port Hope; Reta Kennedy, Millbrook; Pat Kelly, Lindsay; Sharon Greenfiald, Peterborough; who wilI graduate soon from the.
