The foresight is indicated as small trees will have to be planted and a number of years will have to pass before they make an appreciable dif- feixince in surrou.idings. A fine and effective windbreak can be grown in ten years with trees that are supplied free by the Ontario Forestry Branch or with cedars taken from the woods. Evergreens should be pla.".ted in permanent locations when small, as it is difficult to transplant successfully, trees' larger than three to four feet. The trees that are supplied by the Forestry Branch may be planted per- mane.-itly in the windbreak, or may be the past week with her parents, Mr. [ placed in nursery lines and cultivated and Mrs. Essland, Rob Roy.

Miss Queenie Kaitting of Kilsythe visited with Mr. and Mrs. (Will. Kaitt- ing on Sunday. for a few years. The labor of trans- planting and the setback in growth that trees have when moved are el- iminated v'. they are planted in the windbreak. They may either be placed in plowed grround and cultivat- ed or spot planted in sod. Cultivation stimulates considerably the growth of small trees and an effective wind- break will be grown' more quickly if the trees are cultivated. There is space and the trees are more liable to be cultivated if a hoe crop is grown with them the first two years. The advantages of a tree nursery are that One School Gave Thanks At one of their sessions last year the Grey county council decided to grive to every school in the county s copy of the History of Grey County, which they have had published but the sales of which have not been very great. At their last session they received a letter of thanks from one section for their gift. The school that thought it worth-while to spend 3c. and a little time on acknowledg- ing the gift was S. S. No. 1, Holland tp. It is a commentary on our gen- eral attitude. Of course, every sec- tion was glad to get the book for their library and no doubt all of them thought it was very decent of the county council to give them a copy, yet out of the hundred or so school sections only one sent a letter acknowledgement. of WHERE THEY SUPPORT THEIR PRINTER Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Peacefully sleeping, resting at last. The world's weary trouble and trials are past; In silence he suffered, in patience he bore. Till God called him home to suffer no more. â€" ^Ever remembered by (Wife and Family. Lady Bank Presentatiun The following address was read and presentation made by Lady Bank Ladies' Aid to Mrs. Jos. Sewell, who, with her husband has moved from Lady Bank to a farm near Proton Station, mention of which was made in last week's paper: We your friends and members of Providence Ladies' Aid, having met together this afternoon, wish to ex- press our sincere regret at your de- parture from among us, and also to show our appreciation of your help in our work. We shall miss you as the days go by. We have experienced many acts of kindness from you in the past,~and realize that you were one who al- ways did- Little acts of kindness. Little deeds of love. We ask you- to accept this little gift as a token of our love for you. We wish you and your's health and happiness in your new home. Miss Winnifred Talbot is home from Toronto. Mr. and Mi-s. Will.

Williams on Sunday. In reporting the amount made by the W. A of the United church dur- ing the contest for 3 months, there was a mistake made by the north unit omitting $2 of their money in theiif total, making $27.53 instead ot 125.53, thus bringing the whole total to $69.28. The 8th Line who were the winners made over $30. The village unit did not do so well, as there were only 5 members in the village, axA as it was such a severe winter it was hard to get out among them to arrange for quiltings, etc. In the other two units there were a greater number of members and all could be called by telephone. Never- theless there were some good helpers in the village and we are thankful to all lor the help they rendered. IN MEMORIAM RADLEY â€" In loving memory of James Radley, who passed away May 3, 1933. Too far away for sight or speech. But not too far for thoughts to reach, Sweet to remember him, Who once was here. And who though absent. Is just as dear. â€" iWife and Children. APPLE REGlILA'nON It is now compulsory that all apple and hawthorn trees within three hun- dred yards of an orchard, the owner of which hM applied for certification must be thoroughly sprayed for apple maggot or cut down prior to July Ist. AH spraying must be effected in ac- cordance with the recommendation set forth in the official spray calen- dar. Opportunities arc sometimes like fish. The big ones frequently get Not The Tragedy Supposed (Hanover Post) The Clinton News-Record doubts the wisdom of The Post mentioning the fact that Premier Henry ana other prominent men got their names in school "black books" when they were little shavers. Small boys, it .says, can "think of enough mischief without being openly., encouraged b> editors old enough to know better.' Really, we don't feel at all guilty. Wt can hardly imagine small boys read- ing this column, but if there are any big boys who read it we figured they would look back on the days when they were also "tanned" at school, and, after contemplating that they have since grrown up, married, bought a home and become solid citizens of the community, they will realize thai getting their name in the school's "black-book" was not the tragedy oi disaster it appeared to foe at the time Game Warden Stops The Stops "Jerking" Of Suckers Inspector Rolston, game warden has stopped the "jerking" suckers at Meaford and other points on the Georgian Bay, by the unemployed and others of that tow.i who take this means of providing food and spare cash. This manner of catching suck- ers and mullet has been in operation for years. The Meaford Express has the following to say: The action taken by the fish in- spector the other day in forbidding the fishing of suckers here or any other place is a question that shouH not stop there. By such action the Goivernment is giving more protec- tion to the species of fish that might easily be done away with altogether. They are a menace to game fish spawn and are anything but a market- able product. The law as explained by Inspector has been on the statutes for many years and efforts should be made to have it removed inasfar as coarse fish â€" such as suckers, mullets and carp â€" are concerned. Chicken thieves are again active in the Mono Mills district. Reeve W. A Donaldson's pens were raided and 20 birds stolen, the same number were stolen from the pens of Wilson Duke. Both these farms arc situated on the sixth of Mono. Showered By Friends On Thursday evening last, friends and neighbors numbering upwards to 100, met at the home of Mr. ana Mrs. Thos. Freeman in honor of theii daughter. Miss Myrtle, bride-to-be. or.e of the most popular girls in the district. The evening's entertainment began with a program in which readings were given by Mrs. (Rev.) H. Warren, 'Mrs. Wm. Swa.nton and Miss M. McLoughry. a solo by Mrs. Jack Perkins; cornet sclos by Mr. Jack Perkins; com;c song by Mr. Norman Geno«; instrumental music by Mr. Mervin Walker, accompanied by Miss Pea:-1 Sewpll. X musical contest follov/ed. The most interesting in- rident of the evening however was the bountiful miscellaneous shower for which Mrs. Frank Davis read the address, the gifts being presented and unwrapped by Mrs. Victor Brodie, Mrs. George Shaw and Mr. Jack Tay- lor. A quantity of flat silverware the gift of the Ebenezer church Ladies' "Aid was presented by Mrs Frank Taylor, Mrs. Harold Knight reading the address. Following the shower games were enjoyed and a delicious lu-nch was sers'ed. erally easier to protect the small trees in nursery lines. Careful consideration should be given to the location of the wind- break, the number of rows, and tht spacing of trees. More than one row makes a much better windbreak than a single row, and usually they wUl be protected better. Spruce or pine should not be planted closer than 8-12 feet in a single row, but if three oi more rows are planted they may be placed 5-6 feet and managed the same as a forest plantation. Early spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground is the best sea- son to transplant trees in Ontario, and care should be taken to protect the roots from the sun and wind. Application forms for trees and de- scriptive literature may be secured from the Forestry Branch, Parlia- ment Bldgs., Toronto, the Provincial Tree Nurseries at St. W^Uliams, Mid- hurst and Orono, or the County .A.gri- cultural Office. There is one thing for which the News-Record has always been grate- ful, and that is the loyalty of the merchants and business men towards our job printing department. Very little of their work goes out of town. in spite of the plausible stories told by city solicitors for printing, as they canvass here. We were told that one man worked the town yesterday, telling the merchants they were pay- ing too much for their printing. One man was wise enough to get our pric- es, and found them less than half what the traveller stated they were. and naturally below his prices, as the News-Record has no traveller's ex- penses to pay. We again thank the merchants and business men for theii loyalty to the local office.â€" Fergus News-Record.
