Husband And Wife Worked Timber Lot (The following article was taken from the Shelburne Free Press and Bconomist and was put in type sev- eral weeks ago, b\it lack of space prevented using it until now. Mr. and Mrs. Samnins and family have moved back to Feversham.) Ontario pioneer stock is still with us. Blast of here on Highway No. 10. is a 40-4icre tract of fine mixed wood bush, recently resounding to the blows of axes un<l the bite of saws â€" wielded by Mr. and Mrs. Elvin Sam- mons. In sight of the highway is a rough-'boaid cabin, built by the hus- band and the first he has ever made. The husband has the job of cutt- ing logs for a local lumlber mill. He doesn't have to do all the work him- self, for his young wife plays a man's part with woodman's implements, can fall a tree and handle her end of a crusscut saw with whoever steps up. The SaiTiimons come from Fever- sham and their one-room winter .residence houses also their one boy and three girls: Harvie, 8; Shirley. 9; Leola, 6 and Joyce, 4. The older ones can help out in the bush, too. "I've been working in the bush since I was 17." related St) year old Sammons. "I got my start in the Parry Sound district and have been at it every winter since. My wife likes to help a'ld pven has her own saws." ^ When the warm weather came the Samimons family went back to Fev^ ersliiim and IClvin will help on his father's farm and be back in the bush come next freeze-up. In the meantime the etforts t)f this hardy I'iiniily will do a biK bit to .supply lumber for Ontario's domes- lie 11(1 industrial l>uildin«' |)tv>nram this year, and- overy day logs are teamed out to await truekinK to the mill. Most of the wood will go into buildings i>f one kind or another, which draws a contrast to uses for which DulVeiin C'ounty timber has l)iM'n put in the years since the last war begun. a Thanks to the refonst-ation pro- i-i'aana put into ettect a score or more years ago in Old Ontario, the lands south of (ieoiKi^iii Hay Inirc Kdod stands of timber iiiidy for em- ergency u.s,. when the war begun in r,>;til. Within less than three years at least two million feet of maple l«eech, sprue, hemUiok and balsam were taken out of IHltferin Ciumty. with SOOOdO feet shi|iped out of the iioithern half of the county in on,' year alone, some from trees up to N(" feet high.

With the fine lumber going to build Canadian ship and army camips, most folks remember how glad they were to get the cull slabs from the mills and use them to help ease the haixl-fuel shortage. Today the slalbs ai'e well in vogue as fuel and local householders have gone one better in the peacetime battle against another fuel scarcity. The big sawdust piles in the mill yaixls are being tapped to supply sawdust to supply sawdust burning furnaci'M which have supplanted coal, hatdwood and oil in more than one home this winter. "Hut we don't have to worry about fuel," said hardy Mrs. Saimmons. "There's plenty of it hand just out- side the back door." Farmers Are Subsidizing Consumers In Canada In ortler that they acciu-ately ap- praise the food price problem, con- sumers who are clamoring for oleo should be informed thiat because of regulations Canadian farmers are sUbsidiaing Oai>adian consuimei-s to the e.vtent of 15 to 20 per cent of their food costs. If the cattle emibargo. which pre- vents the movement of our cattle to U. S. 'markets, were removed and coarse grains vvere permitted to roll in the direc.tion of higher prices, the Canadian e<'onomy would tiounce uip to the United States level and staple food products would cost Canadian consumers 15 to L'O per cent more than at present. Throughout the war, and since, food piiees in Canada have bei'ii kept lower than they otherwise would have been by Government subsidy and the beneficence of C'an- adian t"armers. Wheat growers have made a substantial contribution to lower fo(vd costs and our long-term contracts with Britain have created present day ceilings that have been bigiily beneficial to all those who consume rather than produce food. Butter and (deo are only n part of the complete foo(Ui)attern in Canada. The argument is not only of butter Versus oleo. k - Farmers' .Xdvocue.
