It is impossible to say how many fires along railway lines are not due to engine. sparks, but to the thoughtless smoker thsing away his cigarette or cigar butt. Howeve; there is no doubt a fair num- ber of forest fires originate in this way, and such are' preventable. Each in- dividual should realize his personal responsibility to be careful with fire in any form in northern Ontario. . The Ontario fire ranger is at the mercy of all types of carelessness, and cannot prevent fires starting, as a rule. He can _\ only attempt to limit the -....... consequences.

Parliament Buildings Toronto, Ontario Ontario Forestry Branch Here, tucked aWay in a succession of indentations' along shore, is Metis: French-Canadian village, summer re- sort, cottages of summer resorters, and the ubuquitous hotel, also sum- mer-y. At the first and superficial glance, Metic may not promise much for a week's, a month's or a season’s stay, but wait and see! A month of four weeks and an added day to two may not be long enough to make Met- is grow stale, Just to loaf and longe; to pretend to read, and really sleep on the clean sands; just to let the life- giving winds from the Atlantic have their will with you, is to reap the beneficient harvest of Metis. Just to wander at will in" and through the shore woods, or to stand on an ex- posed neck of land and drink in the glorious panorama of sea and sky and curving shore and distant Laurentian range-is to make Metis worth while where the big river widens to a gulf, the little word will be discovered. Many a time I've traced its winding shores and string of houses from the deck of an ocean vessel and with the aid of binoculars, but now we will see it at closer quarters by the land ap- proach and with the help of a little branch railway that loses itself some- where in the open down Matane way. Modernity approaches the station in the shape of a motor car, and a mile or two of honking effort brings the traveller to the river road and the curving silver beach that is Metis. or, to explore the river road in its only two directions-west to the an- cient Seigpeury and the old Presby- terian church, or the graveyard where whole colonies of ship-wrecked sail- ors sleep, instead of Davy Jones damp locker; case to the never-ending pro- cession of houses of habitants or sup- mer-folk. Golf, on a dear little course; ten- nis for the tennisy; swimming for the hardy people who love the tingle of salt water that is not exactly warm!
