"In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity” The Government will also be 1‘4.- quested to make a survey of all reâ€" forestation zones in' the Province, with at least one zone being com- pleted in 1938. At present the Prov- ince is divided into five zones. Wal- lace Gallinger, mover of the resolu- tion, stated that information desired from these surveys was the percent- age of municipally owned land, the percentage of land suitable for re- forestation, and the extent and con- dition of waterheads. When the sur- vey is completed it is hoped to have a forest map of the Province pre- pared, showing the location and the extent of areas suitable for refor- estation. Chief among the resolutions adept- ed at the inaugural meeting were re- commendations that the Provincial Government be approached to obtain legislation preventing the destruc- tion of tree growth and asking that 'the cutting of small trees be conâ€" trolled.

Markham Township Reeve éfieads Provmclal Reforesézraimn As: Reeve James Rennie of Markham Township was elected president of a provinceâ€"wide organization to pro- mote reforestation and encourage conservation of our great forest wealth at a meeting of representaâ€" tives from all sections of Ontario held in- Toronto on Monday of this week. The new body-was named the Ontario Conservation and- Reforâ€" estation Association, with the foll- owing officers: President, Reeve James Rennie, Markham; Vice-Presi- dent, W. H. Casselman, Chesterville; Secretary, W. H. Porter, London; Treasurer, W. W. Gardhouse, Wes;- ton. " Each grOup will present a one-act play, all of which have been selectâ€" ed by the adjudicator, Jas. E. Dean‘ of Toronto, and promise to be ex- ceptionally good. A new venture is the presentation of the same play by txvo different clubs, on different nights, and it will be particularly interesting for those interested in the drama to compare the interpreâ€" tation and presentati‘On by these groups. The management was complimentâ€" ed» last year on reducing the inter- mission to ten minutes, thus speed- ing up the whole show. This will be done again this year by using a standard set of drapes instead of each group having to provide .scen- ery. The adjudication will of course, be given the second night but ar- rangements are being made to have Mr. Dean explain! to the audience, previous to the opening of the pro- gramme, the basis of scoring, to en- able the audience ‘to view the show fihrough the judges’ glasses, as it were. Bill Champion of Unionville, Pres. of the York County JuniOr Farmers, will be chairman and Douglas Gee of Victoria Square will be collecting quarters at the door (no children’s- rates). As the plays are im com- petition, the doors will be closed sharp at 8.30 before the curtain rises and absolutely no person will be ad- mitted during a performance. The Clubs entered and the plays they are presenting are as- follows: Thursday, April 219tâ€" Poplar Bankâ€"“Buddy Buys an 01'- ‘ chid" Unionvilleâ€"“Nellie McNabb” Nobletonâ€"“Jim Barber’s Spite Fence” chid” Victoria Squareâ€"~“Jim Barber's Spite Fence” The order in which these plays will be presented, has not yet 'been decided.
