the country is becoming too barren of trees and the article herein is accordingly a timely word it reads specific instances of the removal for cleaningup purposes of trees along the highways and less tra- quented roads in this province art plentiful enough to alarm all who appreciate the value and the beauty of treelined avenues whether ur ban or rural districts the cutting down of trees in older ontario ex cept when absolutely necessary to building or the widening of traffic arteries is plain vandalism it is but continuing the foolish policy of the pioneers who in their struggle to overcome the forest made virtu ally a clean sweep of it with the ex ception of a small bush acreage agricultural lands were denuded of trees however aiong most highways there are trees left there because the land was not to be cultivated stretches of road arched by spread ing branches are a delight to the traveller for no logical reason other than a strange desire for uni formity with its accompanying monotony these groves are in cev tain sections being attacked in wholesale fashion if this be allowed to continue- there always are people ready to put the axe to a tree irreparable damage will be done to adjoining soil and the general scene will be mede drab and uninteresting the compensating feature is that in other sections of the province local highway engineers are plant ing trees and shrubs for the purpose of checking the drifting of snow on the roadway the ontario deparl- ment of highways has been active 1 royal blue occasional plate for lc when you purchase 1 pkg ivory flakes

science monitor favors the idea ot bonusing the care ful drivers of automobiles by a re duction in their car insurance prem iums when the buiderof a home takes every precaution to make his dwelling fireproof using brick in stead of wood using slate instead of wood shingles and in various other ways he receives a lower rate of insurance on his house so the monitor believes that the man who drives a year without an accident of any kind should receive a rebate on bis insurance already some thirtyeight largo buildings i insurance companies in the united i states have adopted this scheme ac cident free drivers receive a rebate at the end of the year amounting to 15 per cent of their premiums this plan has the same distinct merit of rewarding the careful man as the tire insurance rate idea sentiment in favor of the change is growing rapidly certainly the system of giving safe drivers cash rewards in the form of premium discounts should be an incentive to more careful driving not only is the saving involved worth trying for but there is the added dutlnc tion of being an accidentfree dri vers with a bonus cheque to provo it fifty million dollars in bonds were sold the other day by the
