‘"We do not know just what the governâ€" ment will do in the matter, but we would suggest that as already there is no hunting allowed within one mile of Jack‘s place, it would be a good thing to pension Jack and take over the farm and make it a national sanctuary or. : a provincial one, and place it in charge of Jack and his descendants so long as they desire to take care of it. And, more than that, we would like Jack to have the privilege of naming other places throughout the province which shail be treated similarly.

He has thereâ€" fore asked the Dominion Government to grant him $5,000 a year for the express purpose of caring for the birds that find their way to Kingsville for food during their spring migraâ€" tions. He himself has spent thousands of dollars every year in feeding and caring for his bird friends but the time has now come when he l cannot longer do so owing to lack of funds. That widely known lover of bird life, Jack Miner, who exemplified his love of his feathered friends by supporting a bird sanctuary at his home near Kingsville for many years, finds that he requires assistance in the task as he has in United Btatee, per year 1 im en fadaia ioh duh tohnb atontie" S o hid c This county has been in the forefront in undertakings which promote the progress and well being of the community, particular emâ€" phasis having been laid within recent years on the construction of a system of permanent roadways which so greatly facilitate travel, proâ€" mote quick marketing and encourage coâ€"operaâ€" tion and more frequent communication between this and other communities. The extent of the busihess transacted by the county of Waterloo is shown in the audited statement recently made public, the figures inâ€" dicating that the large amount of $1,273,546.96 was handled by the county treasurer during the year 1928. The construction of roads naturally accounted for a large part of this amount. The outlays include $262,699.36 on county roads account, $296,776.47 on county roads general, $93,775.41 on schools, $35,097.45 for maintenâ€" ance of the House of Refuge and $44,702.64 for provincial highways. *‘ In the county‘s total assets of $433,659.86 are listed valuable properties of the county such as the House of Refuge $195,960, the deâ€" tention home at Hespeler $10,000 and other county property of $45.000, the capital assets totalling $250,960. The total liabilities are shown as $355,574.97 of which $224,861.99 reâ€" presents the total of four debenture byâ€"laws. The Ontario Equitable Life since its forâ€" mation in 1921 has had a remarkable growth, the insurance in force advancing from $7,007,â€" 186 in that year to the large total of $40,â€" 110,307 last year. Under the guidance of its alert, progressive and capable president, Mr. 8. C. Tweed, through whose initiative it was organized, it has grown and prospered in a most gratifying and satisfactory way. The amalga-‘ mation being consummated will still further‘ add to the strength of its position and enable it to serve an everâ€"widening circle of policyâ€"‘ holders. Under the agreement entered into which | which will shortly be submitted to the shareholders of ,Afl'i“1 both companies and to the Superintendent of : An im Insurance of Ontario for ratification, the Onâ€"|has be tario Equitable Life will acquire the business | throug of the Equity Life which on December 31st last fertiliz reported assets of $1,431,000 and insurance inlmwd 1 force of $6,898,420, the business being of a|also as :‘ One year, in advance t PROTECTING BIRD LIFE A GROWING COUNTY Figures recently issued indicate that the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo street railway and the Bridgeport rosad have been operated at a profit during the past month or two. This reflects the extéent of the patronage exterided to both lines which are being utilized by a growing number of people. With the steady increases in popuâ€" lation the patronage accorded the railway will continue to grow although during the warmer months the general use made of automobiles flmMnhMu&onflww. With the growth of the Twinâ€"City, infant industries have found some difficulty in securâ€" ing adequate quarters. The lack is now being filled through the construction of buildings to house them. The provisien of such accommoâ€" dation encourages young industries and the ‘"industrial incubator" as it is called meets a real need and at the same time promotes the industrial progress of the community. ’ Immigration to Canada continues to show a moderate increase over that of a year ago, the total for the nine months of the fiscal year up to and including December being 144,113, compared with 128,928 for the same period in | The Farmer‘s Advocate pertinently points out that those who like to hum the little tune "brighten up the corner where you are" might derive some satisfaction by giving it expression in the form of a few flowering shrubs near the house and a perennial bed at the border of the lawn. ’ This appears to be a practical way in which to assist the destitute Welsh miners and will doubtless be utilized by those who desire to exâ€" tend further aid to them. Referring to the appeal being made in order to stimulate the use of Weish coal in Canada, the Woods;ock Sentinelâ€"Review says: "It is unfortunate, of course, that such an appeal should be made at a time when there is a strong cry that Canadians should use Canaâ€" dian coal, but, after all, if the product of the Welsh mines can be used to replace part of the coal now coming from the United States, it would be giving help to British people who are kin to our own. It is not generally known, perâ€" haps, that Canada is already providing a good market for Welsh coal/ In 1927 it used 250,000 tons of coal from Wales and Sir Alfred Cope volunteers the information that this [meant the employment of 12,000 miners. His ‘plea is that if this could be doubled and Canada could take at least a half million tons a year, employment could be given to about 25,000 men.‘" | Although the Welsh Relief Fund is to be closed shortly it is pointed out that Canadians can still help inâ€" a practical way. Welsh coal is being used to a growing extent and it has been suggested that in filling their fuel requireâ€" ments, Canadians utilize Welsh coal to a larger extent in place of some of the American coal usually ordered. T The appeal made on behaif of the destitute Welsh miners in Great Britain has met with a generous response from the people of Canada, well over $100,000 having been raised. This amount has been gratefully received and has been instrumental in relieving considerable distress among these people, who, on account of having been out of employment for a long period, have suffered much privation. ‘ The figures quoted emphasize the value of its fisheries to Canada which have become a substantial industry in which eighty thousand people are employed. | ASSISTING DESTITUTE WELSH f MINERS has EDITORIAL NOTES C6 Mr. Riliott is undecided whether he will kill the pair of strange creaâ€" tmrea or permit them to be taken away for scientific atudy. _ One of the two heads of the doubleâ€" headed calf is smaller than the other and has different colored eyes.
