E.M.BeS. MEMBERS - EYE EXAMINATIONS A number of employees who have had their sight screened by ortho-rater test in the first aid room have been advised by the doctor to have their eyes tested. The member of course shall decide by whom his eyes shall be tested: The benefit clause covering travel benefits does not cover travel for a member to have his eyes examined, It does cover if operative measures or special treatment is prescribed which should only be done by an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who is expert in the knowledge of the eye and its diseases) and is authorized by the medical examiner. If travel benefits were extended to members for eye examinations the financial burden on the society would be such that the present monthly dues would be quite - inadequate. 0-0-0 CONSERVATION CORNER Practise and preach care with fire in all forms in the woods, especially during the high hazard forest fire season, April lst to October 31st, Burn papers, boxes, cartons and garbage in approved incinerators where possible and eliminate fire danger wherever it's found. Danger of "clean up" fires getting out of control is a special hazard in the woods in spring. Highwinds, dry grass and debris help ground fires to spread rapidly. Be careful, urges the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests Division of Forest Protection, In the Fire District, operators are being warned of the need of guarding against fires resulting from winter burning, such as sawdust piles and refuse. Dangerous, too, are fires left buming by spring trappers and on mining operations, Page: 10 CONSERVATION CORNER (Cont.) Conservation Commandments Graham Netting, director of the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh, recently devised a set of Conservation Command- ments to serve as a guiding principle for conservationists. They are: 1. Study the land so that each acre may be used wisely according to its capabilities and treated according to its needs, 2i Guard well the living soil that it may continue to nurture man; clothe it lovingly with vegetation; hold onto it tenaciously; restore its fertility and organic content; improve it as a legacy for posterity. 3. Revere water, life blood of civilization; retard it on the surface; trap it in the soil; guard its purity jealously. 4. Cherish forests that they may conserve water, shelter wildlife, provide for our needs, restore our tranquility. 5. Respect all living things as having a role, however humble, in the balance of nature. 6. Provide living museums, samples of primeval America, to be managed by nature alone, so that they may serve as reservoirs of wild species that may be needed tomorrow, provide control areas against which man's efforts at management may be measured, 7. Learn to live in harmony with nature in an ecological symphony, a mutual beneficial dependency. This is the Conservation Pledge: "J will give my pledge as a Canadian to save and faithfully defend from waste the natural resources of my country--its soils and minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife," 0-0-0 FOUND Boys navy trench coat - about size 12.
