Fl` 7.. THE TOLL OF CARELESSNESS It is appalling to learn that since the arrival of the white man in Canada, forest fi_res have. _destroyed 60 per. cent. of her primeval forest the uses of man and the requirements of com- merce. Dissipation of our accessible timber sup- plies within a period of twenty-five years is forecast. To bring home to the minds of Canadians be- fore it is too late, the tragic loss that will result to this country if our forest areas are totally de- stroyed, Canadian Forest Week has been set aside. In the press, in the schools, in clubs and public gatherings, the importance of Canada s forests and of Canada s for-i est industries will be drawn to public atten- tion. it everybody in Canada realized that thou- sands of families and millions of dollars of capi-' tal are dependent upon the Canadian forests. everybody would think twice before throwing down lighted matches or cigarette stubs, or lighting fires in dangerous places and leaving them to spread on or below the surface of the wealth that remains. Hon. Chas. Stewart, Minister of the interior. has to do with Canada s forests, and it is encour- aging to note his activity in arousing public opinion as to the situation and the imperative need for care in preventing forest fires. 2-1?-j (Continued from 99.30 i.)

In view of the Prime Minis- ter's more than forty per cent. of all the people in `Canada over seventy years of age re- side in Ontario, the financial burden which adoption of the scheme would entail is not to `be lightly as- * sumed. Farmers, as a class, do not look with favor on social legislation which places a premium upon thrift and industry and confers inestimable bene- fits upon the urban dweller at the expense of the rural population. The cost of the various forms of quired for its administration, is reaching such out- : rageous proportions that failing some determined effort to put a check on. expenditure . I a similar nature, disaster must eventually ensue. . T T Bearing the Cross (7) Literary Digest--Ten cents a week or the price of a soda, is enough for the Lord in the opinion of some families in a church in Montclair, New Jersey. There are other families who attend the church, and think` -it can get along without any nancial help from them at all. The church budget, accord- ing to a pamphlet recently issued, is $85,000. There are 408 families in the parish, and 145 families con- tribute nothing, leavint the total burden to the others. Itis equally interesting to learn that there` are 431 automobiles in the 408 families, or more ; than one automobile to each family. Here are some other interesting items, which may have a familiar ring to the real workers in some 1 other churches: Forty families .pledge- per year less" than thefcost " `-----'-A -mi nineteen more gm. ilies pledge per year less than the cost of two tires, Five families pledge per week just the cost of two packages of `life-savers. . Seven, more families are happy to contribute per week the cost of one soda. Twenty-eight more families estimate the church`s blessings per week equal to one admission to a Mon-tclair movie (if one sat in the balcony). Forty- six more families prize their religion in terms per week less thanhalf a pound of candy. `Twenty-two more families-are content with a weekly gift of the cost of two and a half gallons of gas. How far will the car go on that? Fifty-one more families count it a joy to subscribe per week a sum equal to -what many men spend for smoking in one day. Forty-e nine more families are satised with a weekly pledge of the amount spent for one luncheon at a moderate-priced restaurant. Why go further?

Frequent cases are coming to light where stolen chickens in North York and South Sim-' coe find a ready market with unscrupulous Jew- ish pedlars who, with their trucks and chicken crates, would appear to be all too numerous in those sections. These forays out of Toronto cause the police no end of trouble, and some drastic form of regulation would appear to be in order. We do not suggest that all these Jewish pedlars are receiving stolen chickens, but if there were fewer of them on the road there would be fewer hen houses raided, it seems cer- tain. It matters not to this class of gentry if two dollar birds are offered to them for fifty or sev- enty-five cents. They never stop to inquire or investigate. It is not their business and, of course, it is a mighty hard thing to prove that they know the chickens to be stolen. No sane ~\A-Dnn hnuIn\IPl' wmlld think Of 8.

INSECTS ARE OUR ENEMIES Stanley Baldwin, England s Prime Minister, and one of her most advanced farmers, says that of all the crops raised by man on the entire .earth, one tenth is destroyed by insects. Accord- ing to the New York Times human beings and insects face a death grapple for the mastery of the earth, with the odds favoring the insect. in this connection it is interesting to learn that on the Soudan Egyptian frontier poison gas war- fare is `being used to exterminate locusts and with success.
