son publishers wood from burned forests has also been possible under these new methods notes and comments improved forestry improved methods of forest operations are resulting in considerably less waste of a resource that is no longer regarded as inexhaustible in the conversion of trees into lumber alone not much if any more than onethird of natures raw materials is turned into boards planks and timbers the remainder being tops branches high stumps unmerchantable logs edgings and sawdust the monthly commercial letter issued by the canadian bank of commerce points out that research forest engineer ing and chemistry are steadily lessening this waste and at the same time making more and better forest products available for example one of the most noteworthy developments in canada is a recent project for a pulp mill on the pacific coast to use waste material from lumber and plywood mills operated by one of the major concerns in that region this constructive step in wood utilization will probably lead to similar projects and perhaps eventually bring about a quite widespread integration of forest industries the byproduct of one plant becoming the raw material for another the most recent and perhaps most interesting development is a method for making sponges out of wood pulp right now in a smaller way management of the vivian forest in whitchurch are seeking for new uses for the young pine that are being taken out as a thinning operation up to the present they were sold for pit props but that market is gone because of britains inability to take them as imports other uses for the young pines will be found considerable progress has already been made in the last 15 or 20 years in enlarging and refining forest oper ations new logging methods have been introduced particularly suitable in sections where dense stands of large timber have been partially depleted and which cannot under current conditions be operated profitably with heavy equipment such as logging railways power saws have come into use for felling trees tractors for skidding and trucks for hauling of logs to mills these newer types of operations have not only resulted in economies in over head and labor costs but in making possible the rutting of small and partly defective trees which could not be used profitably under earlier methods moreover relogging of various stands that is cutting of trees left in the woods from previous selective operations and the salvaging of but one language make difference it is interesting to remember that the united states is made up of almost the same nationalities which are trying to get together to make and keep peace in europe in the united states however there is one great advantage only one language in general use while in europe there are barriers everywhere erected by differences of tongue it is to be hoped though that even a language bar in europe will not prevent greater union among the freedom- loving people of that continent different languages are bound to be a barrier to friend ship since when folks cannot readily talk to each other in an understandable tongue they are more likely to be less friendly it is so in canada where the government has given us the french and english against the wishes of many canadians has it made for friendship here daylight saving opinions on daylight saving differ south of the border just as they do in canada with the exception of the populous northern states fast time will be observed only in scattered sections of the united states again this year a survey shows that some 60000000 of that countrys 145000000 population already have or will set their clocks forward the relatively new converts for 1948 include california nevada detroit and other michigan cities and some northern ohio cities including cleveland californians advanced their clocks last month as a power conservation step induced by an intense drought the main opposition to fast time is in the rural areas where activities are regulated to a great extent by the sun urban folks generally welcome fast time because quitting work an hour earlier permits extra outdoor recreation in sunlight and enables one to put in more time looking after gardens lawns and keeping property in a good state of repair there is an in between method that might be adoptedthat would satisfy all parties let the urban dwellers who want fast time determine to go to work an hour earlier and stop work an hour earlier without interfering with the clock such a method could be adopted by a city or town just as changing the clock is adopted at a given date persons who commence work at nine could start at eight and accomplish their daylight evenings just the same then the rural people or farmers could go on with the clocks on standard time and would only have to watch their step when going to town on a shopping expedition all agreed on changeover evidently everybody in the ontario legislature is in agreement on the advisability of changing the niagara power system over to 60 cycle for the entire 72 votes polled by conservative liberal and all other groups favored the measure and the vote was recorded in that way

as good perhaps even better as last years average 29 per cent reduction cabinet has pretty well decided the records correspondent was reliably informed that some 200- 000000 of mr abbotts current sur plusrunning between 700000000 and soo000000 will be spent on cutting income tax still in the process of discussion is the method by which this will be done one group in the cabinet supports the recent demands of the potent bishops of quebec for an increase in the exemption levels raising that for single persons from 750 to 1000 and for taxpayers with family dependants from 1500 to 2000 this it has been reported to cabinet by finance and revenue department experts will cost the treasury about 215000000 the guess of this newspaper is no better than your own but here it is the government will cut the tax all along the line if the so- called little fellow were given the benefit by way of raising exemp tions thousands of people would be wiped off the government pay rolls who find employment in attending to the forms and hounding the small payer over the years it would not be popular therefore to lower the exemptions so that a hundred thousand forms would not have to be made out and therefore would not require a huge staff to check them our guess is that the ottawa cabinet will go for the general reduction which will keep the little fellow making out returns and provide employment for a lot of people its amazing to contemplate but it looks that way to us if ottawa fails to allow higher tax- exemptions xow wait and see notice to all cr0wers of beets carrots cabbage
