SHOULD SOON CtJ^E lh« Globe knd Mail has recently been publinhing some astounding in- formation regrarding the activities of our trovemments, Federal and Pro- vincial, in piling up taxation for the people of Canada. The conclusions it arrives at are such that the ratepay- ers of Canada can scarcely let them go unchallenged and demand will aurely be made for a modification. This thinK cannot go on forever. God help Canada if it does not soon cease. The Globe and Mail is doing a good work in showing up the extent of the robbery that is going on in the name of good government. From the Globe and Mail article in the issue of May 28 we quote: "Total net expenditures of all Gov- ernments in Canada â€" Dominion, Pro- vincial and Municipal â€" were |1,070,- 969,241 in 1935, an average of |97.98 for each person in the country. This computation is from the brief of the Citizen's Research Institute presented to the Rowell Commission. "If the people of Ontario had been obliged to turn over the net value of their production of all kinds for the upkeep of the Governments, after doing so they would still owe more than $45,000,000. This is the load Canadians are attempting to carry by taxes. • "The budgeted estimate of Federal expenditures for the last fiscal year was $539,500,000, equal to more than 10 per cent of the capital in all Can- adian industries and these give em- ployment to over 500,000 persons. The Federal expenditure exceeded the wages and salaries paid by these in- dustries in 1934. "Taxation for Government upkeep has crept steadily to these propor- tions. Is it not about time for the people to wake up?" EDITORIAL NOTES Sportsmen will thoroughly apprec- iate the situation when we say that Mr. Hepburn has a "charley horse." In this case, however, the name is slightly varied in that it is pronounc- ed "Chorley Park." The premier can neither sell, cure nor give away his affliction. • • • A special edition of the Tweed News of May 28 came to hand the other day, which we were pleased to receive. Tweed is having an Old Home Week celebration this summer, while the News had its 50th anniver- sary last summer. In order to mark Doth events at the same time a 32 page paper was issued last week. The edition is a credit to its present edi- tor, S. R. Curry, and the historical data supplied makes it very interest- ing and invaluable to old residents of Tweed. • • • Game wardens inform us that they find wolve.*? unusually scarce in the north country, and they cannot ac- count for it. Now is not that a co- mcidence? We have noticed unusual activity around the parliament build- ings at Toronto and Ottawa and in We«ti!rn areas, where raids have been extensively made on the treasuries. Amonjr tho most extensive of these is a three million dollar "touch" for a new hospital in Premier Hepburn's home riding. The Dominion Parlia- ment does not seem to have run amok <)uite 80 seriously, but out in Alberta «nd Saskatchewan there also appears the probability that a "pack" is running loose, probably after hitch- hiking to the Western plains after Hntelope. We hope it will be a long time before the game wardens see signs of a return of this class of vermin. HAMOO so/d by F. W. DUNCAN, Fleshprtcm A. r. McDONELL, Dundalk GEO. HOOn. Dondalk EUGENIA Mrs. A. Lonx and sons, Murray and Burton, and the lattar's wife of To- ronto, were recent visitors with the former's brother, Mr. Court Smith, wife and family. Mrs. W. C. Hanley received the and news that her srsnd^on, James Find- lay, of Saskatoon had met with a cat- accident. He was motoring alone when a sand storm came up and his car ran into a sand bank, causing the car to turn over once and a half times. The yuung man, who is 28 years of age, received a broken shoulder, two broken ribs and severe chest injuries. He was rendered unconscious for six hours. He was taken to the hospital at Saskatoon and at the time of writ- ing the last report was that he was progressing favorably. His mother, Mrs. A. O. Findlay, of Ft. William, a daughter of Mrs. Hanley. is with him at present. We wish him a speedy recovery. Master Jim Thurston of Flesherton visited on Sunday with his friend. Master Jim Magee. We are pleased to report Jim Magee's injured knee recovering nicely. Mrs. R. Bentham and daughter, Mrs. C. R. Wood, and children of Flesher- ton visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Smith.

Big Progrw For Cific Uolidajf Event Plana are taking definite form for Civic Holiday, unveiling of th« mem- orial, Old Boys' and Girls' picnic and the reunion of the 147th Battalion Association. An elaborate program is being poa- pared to keep everyone entertained from Midnight Sunday until the early hours Tuesday morning. A program of military ceremonies, the solemn unveiling of the sacred memorial; a morning of water sports when some of the swimming and diving experts of Ontario will display their art; an afternoon of sport and an evening of entertainment and dancing, promises to be bigger than ever. There will be the trooping of the colors by the 147th Battalion Association. Civic Holiday m Flesherton promists to be a red letter event that should attract thousands of people. Plan now to be tiere that week end. PROTON STATIOM (Intended for Last Week) Rev. G. R. Service of Flesherton was in charge of the work on the Proton circuit last Sunday and dis- pensed sacrament at each of the appointments. At the evening service in Proton he baptised three little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Neil- son, and Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Black- burn's little son.

On Monday evening a large crowd of their friends gathered in the Orange Hall to spend a social evening in their honor before their departure. During the evening an addi-ess was read by Miss Bertha Hemphill and in behalf of the com- munity the presentation of an electric floor lamp and clock was made by Messrs. Stanley Lyons, Russell Ache- son and Jack Ueilson. Mr. and Mrs. Hodgin are young people of sterling quality and they will be an asset to any town or community to which they FEVERSHAM It was with deep interest and great pleasure that the audience listened to Brigadier and Mrs. Ursaki of Orillia and Brigadier Ham of Toronto in the Salvation Army hall on Sun- day morning. Brigadier Ham preach- ed a splendid sermon, which was both instructive and interesting and was listened to with attention. They also sang some beautiful choruses. Our student nurses. Misses Pansy Thomson, E. Smith and A. Robinson, of the G. & M. Hospital staff, GoU- ingwood, were at their homes here on Sunday. Miss Nellie Short of Nottawa spent the week end at her home, Mr. and Mrs. E. Morrison and son, Don, of Mclntyre were with Mrs. Morrison's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. Short, on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Les. Smith of Sing- hampton ami family spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and family here. Mr. and Mrs. E, Robinson and little son of Proton were at the home of (ii'o. Short on Sunday evening and attended the mcetinj? here. Our miller, Mr. J. J. Edgar, whose home is at Egansvillc, Ont., received the news that his wife's mother, who had been making her home with her daughter, had passed away Monday afternoon. Mr. Edgar left for his home on Tue.sday morning C.P.R. train from Flesherton. The farmers were all through seed- ing thi.s year by the 24th of May and although the weather is cool there is plenty of moisture and wonderful growth of both grain and grass. A bountiful crop of hay is assured by present prospects. Mr. G. Ehy has erected a verandah in front of his store, which greatly improves the appearance of the build- ing. It will also be a shade for the show cases from the sun in hot weather. may go. Mr. and Mrs. Ren Acheson and children of Cheltenham visited the former's parents last Sunday. Miss Gertrude Lyons of Toronto, also Mr. and Mrs. Alex, MacLean of Toronto visited during the week end at their respective parental homes. Mr. Wilfred Batchelor of Hather- ton visited his home at Saugeen Jet. Mr. G. B. Littlejohn's tractor is doing good work on several of the farms in the neighborhood. Groundhogs will be fewer if ladies "take up arms" against them. One young farmer's wife in this neighbor- hood saw an animal forty yards away and decided that whatever it was it would not catch her chickens. So she drew a gun to her shoulder and fired, 't was bowled over and upon goinir over to it she found it helpless, but still grinding its teeth. Another shot finished it. Hunt up a gun, ladies, and get rid of the pesky groundhogs, or any other chicken coop marauder. We Woiidei_Wh; h b There was an unusual commotion in a quiet section of the town on a recent early morning. A neighbor was leaving â€" moTing to a distant part of the country. Neighbors were calling. Regret waa expressed by all because of their leaving, and they were told bow much they'd be missed, and how much they were liked. Best wishea for a safe oumey, and for a pleasant and profitable sojourn was voiced by all. And then came the goodbyes and mayhap a tear. A lit- tle girl came stumbling by, sobbing bitterly. Her playmates were leav- ing. Here was stark tragedy. Oth- er eyes were bedimmed. We wonder why it is we mortals always wait till friends, loved ones, or neighbors are going away for an indefinite period to tell them how much we've liked them and how much we've appreciated having them fos companions and neighbors. Such procedure seems a sort of empty gesture â€" similar to putting flowers on a casket when they mean nothing to the deceased who in life would have cherished ev€>n a tiny rosebud given in friendship. It would be much nicer if we could tell our neighbors before they are plann- ing to remove to some distant clime, that we are proud to number them among our friends and enjoy associ- ating with them. Our friend goes, ^e tell him as we grip hands that we wish him well, and express the hope that fate will deal< gently witlh him in his new home. But we have a guilty feeling that a word of kindly greeting, a pat on the back, a little sympathy when to him the situation was dark and the future held little or no hope â€" it is then, we suspect, that our symp. athy, our expression of friendship would have meant most to him. But human-like, we too, waited until the parting time had come to tell him we liked him and were glad to have had him for a neighbor and a friend. Why do we do it? Why? We should do everything possible to cultivate the practice of friend- ship and neighborly relations among ourselves, which, if successful, will naturally have its influence in our contact with the world at large.

To make the woodlot a valuable asset to the farm, considerable at- tention has to be devoted to its up- keep. That reasonable profits can be made from the farm woodlot has been demonstrated on many occasions but systematic managjement is re- quired to bring this about. It is a generally (accepted fact that it is necessary to leave a good stand after each cutting, if any future forest crops are expected, and the question arises as to the proper number of trees to be left on an acre of land for the largest possible returns. Also there are the questions to be considered: what trees should be left to mature, and does it pay to leave seed trees? Experience has shown that the trees selected for cutting should be chosen with careful consideration as to their potential value as saw-timber or for piles. Trees which give indi- cation of developing into high-quality timber should be left to mature, for timber of this quality may later on net a profit from three to ten times as much as the same timber would bring as pulpwood. With regard to seed trees, the need must be consid- ered for leaving seed trees properly scattered throughout a stand in order to be sure of getting reproduction if the stand is damaged fay wind or fire. Such a practice will increase the annual income per acre by pro- viding extra timber. On a stand where the timber aver- ages up to ten inches in diamater, it is good practice to leave between 100 to 200 of the best trees per acre, if the most profitable returns are to be obtained. Unless such timber is on very poor soil, it is reasonable to expect the stand to grow an equiv- alent of one cord per acre. This means that it will he possible to go back to the same area and cut the equivalent of five cords of pulpwood every five years, at least until the trees reach saw-timber size. Systematic management of the farm woodlot includes removing dead and diseased trees, cutting only mature trees for lumber, and sfencing the wooded area to protect it from graz- ing by livestock and from fire. Cutt- ing all weed trees and lopping brush into short lengths and scattering them throughout the woodlot helps to de- crease the amount of run-ofT and to increase soil fertility. A LARGE TURTLE A 26-pound snapping turtle meas- uring thirty-seven inches from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail was shot recently at Sutherland's Pond, southeast of Stratford, by a group of men who voted themselves protectors of fish in the famous trout- fishing centre. The turtles have been killing hundreds of fish in the pond for several years, and last year Strat- ford nimrods set a few traps to catch them. The bullet which killed the big turtle entered near the tail and came out close to the head. The turtle had big claws nearly two inches long. The nobs on its tail, each one supposed to represent ten years of growth, indicate the animal should be about 600 years old. It's hard to say whether a pile of old shoes on the sidewalk indicates a wedding ceremony or a cat fight the night before.
