What caused the Northern Ontario forest fires of July last and how such catastrophes can be prevented are two" of the points covered in the il- lustrated lecture on 'The Forests of Canada' by Robson Black, Ottawa, which will be given at Queen's Uni- versity on Monday evening at eight o'clock: Kingstonians, living as they do far from the commercial timberlands of | Canada, do not realize how many in- teresting features a visit to a real forest discloses. Mr. Black's object is not to discuss any technical fea- tures of forest management, but to bring the audience into closer ac- quaintance with fhe greatest asset | we have, next to agriculture. The screen pictures, numbering 175, are { all photographic, many of them 'in | colors, and all have "human interest' of one kind or another. The lecture | is free to the general public.

The 207th | officers claim that the officers of the/ sister battalion are using their in-| fluence to get the men to choose] some unit other than the 207th to be| transferred to, with the resuit that| some are going to the battalions of | other cities. Some are transferring to the 207th, but, it is maintained, nothing like the number whith would do so if not persuaded to go into! other units. The officers of the 230th deny that they are trying to switch men away from the 207th, but say that it is the wishes of the men themselves: + It is 'uhfortundte that the hard feeling should exist between the two units, a feeling that on frequent oc- casions has shown itself. Both have been recruited largely from Ottawa, and the people of Ottawa, for the most part, take a kindly and sympa- thetic interest in both. BRITISH RED CROSS FUND.
