This may scéem a contradiction of the old, adage that "you cannofihave your cake and eat it" because the~amenities of these popular gplaygrounds may be gnjoyed win fn again yet cannot be carried away, except in precious memory. Visitors to the parks may take away snow-capped mountains waterfalls, forest-clad hills and flower bedecked valleys, the smell of the pine in their nostrils, the feel of the paddle or the bridle rein in their hands, and the song of the birds in their ears; They may also carry away 'with them treasured "souvenirs for the snapshot album, the memory of pleasant even- ings spent around the camp-fire, the, sPphysical benefits derived from health- |. ful recreation, and-sense ~of stability and well-being which comes from. a holiday spent in an atmosphere of peace and serenity. But they will have left this great national asdet un- impaired, still rich in beauty and in- terest for the enjoyment of those who are to follow in another year or in another generation, ' The national parks system of Can- ada began in 1885 when the Dominion Government set" aside nn scenic area of ten equare miles around 'the hot min- eral springs at Banff, Alberta. "In little over a half century this modest beginning has grown to 26 national parks with a total area of over 29,000 square miles. . ' These parks may be roughly divided into five main groups. There are mountain playgrounds Jasper,. Banff and Waterton, Lakes in Alberta, and Kootenay, Yoho, Mt. Revelstoke, Glacier in British Columbia --. which contain alpine scenery of the highest order. There are the sa:ntiod "prairie parks"-- Elk ksland in Alberta, Prince Albert in Saskatchewan, and Riding Mountain in Manitoba--which are prairie in name only. Unlike the gen- eral conception of prairies--flat "open spaces--the se parks cover a wooded country -- the. prairie "Parklands. They are well supplied with lakes and streams and are casily accessible by rods linked with thoroughfares of Western Canada. Then there are the 'national parks in the Province of Ontario--Georgian " Bay "Islands, Point Pelee and the St: Lawrence Islands. Two of these parks are groups of islands, as the names imply, and the third, Point Pelee, is a noted bird sanctuary jutting out into Lake 'Erie and forming the most southerly tip of Canada's mainland. Further east are the Maritime play- grounds--Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Highlands National Parks--the latesy/ additions to Can- ada's national parks system. These parks can boast of long stretches of seashore among their holiday 4tirac- tinos. Finally there are the animal parks --Nemiskam in southern Alberta, con- taining.the only herd of prong-horned antelope in C anya, and Wood Buffalo Park, partly in Alberta and partly in Northwest Territories, which is the "largest wild life preserve on the North - American continent, In addition, Canada has 9 National Historic Parks. All but one of these are situated in the castern provinces. Three are in the Province of Nova Scotia -- Port Royal Habitation, at Lower Granville" on the Annapolis Fort Anne close by, and the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. Fort Beausejour is in the Province of New Brunswick, near Sackville, Fort Chambly and Fort "Lennox are well known historic spots in the Province of Quebec. Fort Mel- den, at Amherstburg, and Fort Wel- lington, at Prescott, are in the Pro- vince of _ Wales, Canada's most northern for- ntario, and Port Prince of tress site, is near Churchill, Manitoba. These National Historic Parks coms memorate sites of historic importance 'in the early struggle for supremuey on 'this continent. The wisdom of creating and main- taining a system of - national play- grounds dedicated to the people of Canada for their benefit, education nd enjoyment hus never been more \ parent, and Canadians .are using eir national parks to a wider extent Last year 966,820 em visited the parks, and there : re indications that this record num- xceeded during the 1941 rst' season.

Apart from the natural desire of Can: adians. to welcome their friendly neighbours from south of the line, these visitors bring with them sub- stantial sums of currency much needed for Cangdals purchase of war ma- terial in the United States.

TT tee WHOLE TOWN HAS SHARE IN THIS "WAR RELIEF PROJECT" ways. © After the first batch of un- cleaned clothes had come, Mrs. Curtis stopped to see her cleaner and 'explain the situation. Later he came over to pick up the things. She gave him only the two or thiée dféSes that needed cleaning the most. "Is that all that needs cleaning?" he asked: She said no, they had, a lot, but didn't want to impose. He looked very serious and said, "Remember that the sky's the limit. Never mention 'imposing and never thank me. This is a privilege." Soon other cleaners were offering their services. Now there are three laundries and five cleaners that do the work as their share of war relief. One of the greatest needs is for layettes for infants born in war areas. For this purpose the dime store has given dozens of wash cloths and hun- dreds of bunches of safety pins. And every drug store in town has sent in soap.and baby powder. But the tradespeople are not the only ones who are making the venture a success, Without the workers them: selves, the crates could never be filled.

Hundred's of acres of pasture land, oat and corn crops are being seriously damaged by this Grub and the peak of the damage has not been reached this year. This white grub may be found just under the sod.on sandy or light soils, It is a white larva about one inch in length, large and with a black head. It is the larva of the large brown June Beetle often seen in the evenings in: the latter part of June. Last year there was a heavy flight' of Beetles resulting i in a large number of white grubs this season. The white grub remains in the soil for three years as a beetle to. lay eggs and hence beginning a new cycle. During the fall about the middle of September the grub, goes down below frost depth. I Control About the most efficient' control on land that may be broken is to plow the sod 'in July and disk it several times. This proves to be an excellent control. Rough pasture land is much niore difficult to get results" with rea- sonable cost. "Arsenate of Lead at the rate of 40 pounds per acre applied be- fore a vain in June will give good re- sults particularly on_lawns or ceme- teries, "The white grub does not thrive on clovers and "therefore yhere alfalfa and clovers can be grbwn on those areas it will be a great help:in the control.
