The woods in the forests are most \ important now because of the war that is going on.

Germans Lost 262 Planes to R.A.F. in Past Nine Days England needs this wood now for the construction of ships, aeroplanes, and other things that are needed for this war. - There shou‘id be more propaganda spread around so the people would be afraid of the forest fires. They should use this propaganda in movies, radio, contests, magazines, and newspaper articles, and speeches. Then the peoâ€" ple would try to keep the fires away and maybe they would be more careful when camping or making fires in the forests. !

They know where to go and what to do if there is a fire. These fires cause the animals to run away to find shelter. Many of these are fur bearing animals. Another way that fires are started are by men who are out of work. They start a great forest fire in the hope of getting work putting it out. The results of these forest fires are very bad. Thousands of acres of wood are destroyed and millions of dollars are lost. Villages are burned down and the death of many people may result. Other people who are smoking, throw their lighted matches and cigarettes into the dry grass and thus setting it afire, and soon there is a great forest fire blazing.

(By Dan Campbell) Chief of Staff hell‘s cornerâ€"come Constable McNaughton, who is atâ€" tached to East Dundas Police Station in Toronto, was informed by telephone of the accident and immediately of}â€" tained leave to go to the scene. The McNaughtons live at 158 Essex Street, Toronto. The McNaughton summer cottage is near Carnavon, a short distance from Minden. With Mrs. McNaughton is her daughter, Betty, 14, and her sisterâ€" inâ€"law and the latter‘s two children. The youngsters played for hours with the bear which ordinarily is good naâ€" tured and friendly. Norman‘s screams attracted Mrs. Mcâ€" Naughton and others and the boy was dragged away from the infuriated bear. Blocd was streaming from the numerâ€" ous gashes and the youngster appeared to be suffering from shock. He was taken to Minden where the stiches were applied. The boy‘s legs were gashed nearly to the thigh and fortyâ€"one stitches were required to close the wounds. A supposedly tame bear at Minden this week went berserk and seriously injured 11â€"yearâ€"old Norman McNaughâ€" ton, son of Constable John McNaughâ€" ton, of Toronto, after the lad had given the bear an empty pop bottle. It is believed that the bear became enraged on discovering that the bottle did not contain the anticipated drink. One of the animal‘s favourite tricks is to hold a Eottle containing a soft drink in his forepaws and put it to his mouth, emptying the bottle in a few seconds. } It is not suggested that anyone in 'the army is singing the national anâ€" them in a beverage room or anywhere !else without the respect it deserves. | It very likely is excess of animal spirits :and a desire to give voice to the sentiâ€" ments they hold dear which prompts such HAction. "Nevertheless the officers | point is well taken and some thought | before such conduct would very likely | bring to mind the truth of his stateâ€" |ment that indiscriminate singing of |such a song can do little other than ; cheapen it. Most pedestrians have,. at one time ocr another, had the same.experience as the old gentleman. They have. too wanted to commit mayhem. â€"Under such circumstances the old gentleman‘s action was quite justified. Boy at Minden is Badly Gashed and Mauled by Bear The old gentleman smiled back at the driver, stepped in front of the cab and wrenched both headlights out of line. He lifted his hat to the driver and marched across the street lookinz more distinguished than ever. In a southern city recently a very distinguished gentleman was standing on a curb waiting for the lights on the avenue to change from red to green. When he got the green signal he stepâ€" ped out on the street only to dart back in alarm as a taxicab came whizzing up the inside traffice lane. It stopped with a screeching of brakes right on the line and the driver sat grinning at the old zgentleman. The officer instructed the proprietor of the hotel to close the bar in future if the practice was resumed. He warnâ€" ed, further, that if it did continue he would have that town put "out of bounds" for ths men of the camp. That was the end of indiscriminate singing of "God Save the King" in that town. The officer then gave an impromptu lecture on how, where and when the national anthem should be sung. To begin with, ne said, "God Save the King" was not a barâ€"room song. There might be occasions when it could be sung in a beverage room but they were rare. Purthermore, he pointed out, it was not a song to be sung merely beâ€" cause one was in good spirits It had a very special ignificance and should be given the consideration it deserved. One day this practice was in proâ€" gress when a high ranking officer passâ€" ed. He entered the room and brought all of the soldiers to attention,. _ He then asked who started to sing the song. iNaturally no one knew. | Recently in a beverage room in Timâ€" mins, where a numberof soldiers were partaking of a bit of brew, one of their number started to sing "God Save the King." Those of the crowd in the room who did not immediately leap to their feet found themselves assisted in no uncertain fashion by the members of | His Majesty‘s forces. l The same thing happened recently in a Southern Ontario town adjacent to a military camp. As soon as one person would start to sing all the soldiers in the place would join in. As soon as the national anthem was sung once someone else would start it again, and again everyone would be forcibly urged to stand up. is 1 By Hugh Murphy ols ats afe ats atn ate e3 {__SIFTING | '*Tlll‘ NEWS ; ve an impromptu re and when the uld be sung.
