WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1932 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Published on Collingwood street, Flesherton, Wednesday of each week. Cuxulation over 1000, Price in Canada $2.00 per year, when paid in advance $1.50. In paid in advance $2.00. U. S. A. $2.50 per year, when W. H. THURSTON, - - Editor F. J. THURSTON, - Assoc. Editor BALANCING CHILD PRODUCTION There is according to the Anglican Bishop of Algoma, danger of French Canadian domination, if the English speaking people of Canada continue to have small families, while those of French antecedents continue to obey the injunction to be "fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.' We doubt if the fears of his reverence are well founded. Some years ago when the late Mr. Archibald Blue was census commissioner of Canada, he met similarly expressed alarm by statistical inquiry into the growth ot the respective peoples, which went tc show that there was not much cause for alarm. It was demonstrated by the commissioner that the average French-speaking family of nine per- sons was no greater in number when the youngest had reached twenty than the average family of English-speak ers, who numbered at the start of the count, four. The equality was brought about by greater infant mortality in the French-speaking families, and medical experts supplied the infor- mation that the lesser vitality of the mere numerous infants was brought about, in large measure, by the burden imposed on the mothers, the 1 weakei constitutions of the more numerous offsprings and in many cases by the inability of the parents in the larger families to provide all needed health- iriving food and clothing during the t*nder years of their offspring. There is, it would seem, a law ot compensations operating in child-rear- ing as well as in other operations in the world's management and it may be that sometimes our clevical friends are needlessly alarmed.

Perhaps it has, at that, if the authorities arc determined that laws are made to bo broken. ingly dangerous and extra precautions should be taken by the settlers. Camp fires) not extinguished and carelessly thrown matches and cigars are also the cause of many forest fires. * t The Collingwood shipyards were forced to close last week on account of the lack of orders and a petition has been sent to the Dominion Gov- cinment for proper assistance or pro- tection to this ureat Canadian indus- try. Other .shipbuilding yards In Canada are in the some predicament owing to heavy competition f'-om the British Isles. It appears as if aid will have to he given if this industry : s to survive. Many graduates of our universities will be unable to find employment in the particular lines of work which they have fitted themselves for and will be forced to find other channels of labpr. It is regretable that theii chosen fields will not absorb them, but they should be better fitted to take up work in any field they try and become a success in it. While a few years ago an Entrance certifi- cate enabled a person to start life without a handicap; it is necessary now to have spent two or three years in high school in order to enjoy the same opportunities of successfully keeping pace with the, advanced thought of the times. thankoffering for pleasant times 01 for an agreeable holiday. Nineteen members and one visitor were present. Mrs. Scott closed the meeting with the benediction.

Simcoe Reforesting Those who have occasion to travel the Penetang Road between Hillsdale and Waverley cannot fail to be im- pressed by the big improvement made in the appearance of the country around Orr Lake as the result of the reforestation work carried on there under the auspices of the County ol Simcoe. In this section over 1,000 acres have been purchased by the County and since 1928 about 75 mei, have been employed there at planting and have set out a total of one million one hundred thousand trees. The an- nual plantings were as follows: 1928 120,000; 1929, 350,000; 1930, 30,000; 1931, 300,000; 1932, 300,000. A plot of 16 acres has been planted with nine varieties of conifers to demon- strate to the public how the several kinds will thrive on light, sandy soil. Varieties hi this plot are: Red pine, jack pine, Scotch pine, white pine, white spruce, Norway spruce, Euro- pean larch, white cedar and red ced- ar. This forest comes directly undei the supervision of M. A. Adamson. superintendent of the Midhurst For- estry station. Trees rt the Orr Lak< station are almost wholly from Mid hurst, which has the reputation o! turning out nursery stock of excellent quality. Simcoe county leads the province ir roforestry work and the plantings be- tween Hillsdale and Waverley have made a marked improvement already and will, in a few years, completely transform the appearance of that area. 4 > /'*.* Principal Not Leaving A report from Thornbury in Tues- day's Sun-Times gives the statement that Mr. I. L. M. Merriam, principal of Flesherton Public School, had ac- cepted a position on the staff of the Thornbury Continuation school. This report is not correct as Mr. Merriam is remaining in Flesherton for the next year. The Thornbury School Board advertised for a teacher, but without Mr. Merriam applying they communicated with ihim Saturdaj night for an interview and on Mon day evening he visited the Board per- sonally and declined the position owing to previous arrangements. We are very pleased that 'Mr. Merriam is remaining as he is very popular with the scholars and is also deriving .satisfactory results from his pupils.
