If this is the proper attitude to assume, at least the Federal Government should leave the municipalities free to act in the matter. It is not putting the matter too strongly to say that in this North Land an adeâ€" quate fuel supply is a matter of life and, death. It s not a question of cost or convenience or even comfort. It is a case that without proper means of providing heat for houses and places of busiâ€" ness, the people cannot live. The town of Timâ€" mins recognized these facts and went to work with energy and ability to solve the fuel wood problem here. The town contracted for the purchase of fuel wood in quantity, keeping the price within the ceiling stated by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Even at that, the town had difficulty in securing the necessary contracts, because of the labour shortage and other considerations beyond the control of the town. Then this month all the work of the municipality was upset by the imposiâ€" tion of a lower ceiling. The town may have to find some way to reimburse the contractors for the difâ€" ference in price.> This however, is not the most serious feature of the case. The wood has to be obtained, regardless of cost. The chief difficulty now is the fact that the recent reduction in the ceiling price adds to the difficulty of securing the new contracts that are essential. The fact that the government may see fit at any time to throw another monkey wrench into the arrangements does not make the way of the municipality any easier by any means. It would appear that the lack of judgment or sense on the part of the Otâ€" tawa authorities is handicapping the municipaliâ€" ties in senseless way. The Government throws the responsibility on the municipality and then makes it practically impossible for the municipality to do anything effective. From Quebec comes another similar story. According to La Patrie, of Montreal, owners of wooded land in that province are not cutting wood for next winterâ€"cannot afford to do so. Though the wood is as essentially capital as any other kind of property, La Patrie says that farmers and others must pay income tax on the *h sysfi lt P L ALP L P ALP LA PA AAL PP P P P L ~ALP L DP PP L PP L HC6 £e touched the imagination of the people and ached the hearts of men and women. By specâ€" lization he got somewhere. Wild ducks and geese his specialty. By establishing his bird sancâ€" ary on his farm at Kingsville he gave a vital Aample of what could be accomplished and in ldition he founded a new featureâ€"a new attracâ€" nâ€"for tourists and others. His lectures all over e continent opened the eyes of the public not ily to the need of conservation of the bird life _the continent but proved the fact that conserâ€" tion was not only possible and practical but that was also patriotism and common sense. The reâ€" its have been amazing. At one time there was direct threat of the extinction of wild geese and icks on this continent. Toâ€"day these birds are ‘tually increasing at a rate that suggests that ntinuance of this increase is not desirable as the ‘oblem of proper feeding of the birds will soon ‘come acute. To the surplus of wild fowl, there a timely aspect in these days of war. The enorâ€" ous flocks of wild geese and ducks available toâ€" y offer an opportunity for some measure of soluâ€" m for the meat rationing problem. Thanks to nservation of wild life, the danger of a serious od shortage does not apply to Canada with the rce it might otherwise have. Of course, Jack iner would not take all the credit for this, but it safe to say that had it not been for the remarkâ€" le advocacy and effort of Jack Miner, Canada uld not enjoy toâ€"day the measure of conservaâ€" many years Jack Miner carried on his great al work all at his own expense. He did more nake a hobby of conservation of wild life. not exactly make a religion of conservation, put so much religion into his conservation, much conservation into his religion that the iation was about irresistable. As the work led, its cost increased. Toâ€"day it costs $15,â€" year to maintain Jack Miner‘s bird sancâ€" Jack Miner, no longer a young man, except heart and the courage and cheerfulness of nd, has never been a rich man, except in vice to his fellows. He has been too busy to the conservation of wild life to attend accumulation of great wealth. He conâ€" to donate 400 acres of land on which corn n to feed the country‘s birds. He still gives ie and strength and effort to the cause of Id fowl. Neither he nor his son, Manley draw any salary from, the Jack Miner Migâ€" Bird Foundation. They have done their in the good work. Now, it is the duty of to keep the good work going. Last year an deficit of $5,250.00 had to be carried over. eans that the Foundation this year must 2,250.00 to properly carry on. This is a very imount for a big country like Canada. there are a few thousand people in this on who can visualize the great value of ‘iner‘s work and can afford to send the few necessary to keep the record clear. Anyâ€" h the odd dollar or two to spare would be i patriotic act to send a donation to Jack at Kingsville, Ongario, so that this earnest fellow of seventyâ€"eight hard but happy iay carry along his clever programme of bird ation that has meant so much to Canada people in so many years. f THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO Workroom in the McIntyre Comâ€" munity Building Closed for Month of August. Shipment of Red Cross Goods from Schumacher for the past six weeks. There was an unusual request made to the Cochâ€" rane council last week when a soldier on furlough asked for permission to fix up a small building previously used as a henhouse for the purposes now of a dwelling house. At first, the Cochrane council seemed to be inclined to refuse the request as it would be a contravention of the building byâ€"law, but the applicant pointed out that during his short furlough heâ€"would not have time to fix the buildâ€" ing to comply with the byâ€"law. Eventually the council granted the soldier‘s request on the underâ€" standing that the building will be made to comply with the building byâ€"law within a year of the soldier‘s discharge from the Army. Accordingly, Cochrane will have a house that was formerly a hen house. Butif Timmins should crow over Cochâ€" rane on this account, Cochrane in return could give this town the horse laugh, for Timmins has at least two residences that were formerly horse stables. One of these had the odd distinction of serving the double purpose of horse stable and dwelling house for some years. It occupied this dual role in a location only a block from the centre of the town Schumacher Red Cross Shibpped 3,533 Articles During the Past Six Weeks Workroom in MciIntyre Community Building Will be Closed During Month of August, But as There is Great Need for Supplies, It is Hoped All Volunteer Workers Will Come Out in Greater Numbers on September 1st. returns from all wood sold. A farmer might cut $1,500.00 worth of wood, and pay the most of that amount out of income tax and costs. The result is that the farmers and others cannot afford to cut wood. In effect they would be paying income tax on their capital. The Government should at least coâ€"operate to the extent of removing these handicaps that make it close to impossible for the municipalities to look after the fuel wood needs of their people.

Indeed, two stables that developed into homes were onlyl ris four blocks apart. In the one case the horses were Lis moved out and after the carpenters and painters g’l: worked a little, a family moved in. In the othetr cp case the horses had their quarters on the ground at floor while the upstairs apartment was for human‘ accommodation. Whether the horses kicked, or N the people above kicked because the horses kicked, I there was considerable kick about the residence; , above the stable and eventually, the horses wero las moved out, and, presto, soon there were two houses| 54 where only one had been before. In this area thereé tht were more people needing homes than horses‘ at needing stables. In Cochrane apparently it is the th« same with the humans and the hens. ie Heading in a Toronto newspaper: ‘"Rare Type of Bug Found in Toronto." The natural habitat.
