An appreciable pro- portion of woodlots in Southern Ontario is predominantly swamp type and cutting operations are more favourable during the win- ter when ground is frozen and boggy conditions_are less frei' quent. The following informa- tion from Zone Forester, D. E. Gage may be useful to any wood- l'ot owners operating in swampy areas where white cedar is a major species. Bush Roads White Cedar In Farm Woodlots Good Winter Revenue Producer The scouts took part in an- other successful hike on Sunday, Jan. 9. when scouter Al Willie, took the boys out again. Sever- al boys possed some of their tests on this outing and all are anxious to complete their tests in preparation for an overnight hike scouter is planning for them during the month of Feb- ruary. Cooking outdoor ~meals, learning wood lore. etc., is all a wonderful game. The next main event will be the annual Father and Son banquet which will take place early next month. Ev- eryone will be looking forward to this evening after the very successful one last year. Bowling Richmond Hill The 2nd Thornhill cubs and scouts have been enjoying them- selves recently. There was a Christmas party, night of skat- ing and hikes in the past week_s. On Saturday, Jan. 8, Akela Paul West, took the winners of the Christmas Card sales cam- paign to the hockey game at Ma- ple Leaf gardens. The lucky boys were Jim Eagles. Billy McCall- um and Ken McIvor for cubs and scout Ron Cummings. Highiand Park bowling results CORRESPONDENT: MRS. WALTER SANDERS HIGHLAND PARK NEWS 23 Mendowview Road Telephone AV. 5-2116 There is a good market for white cedar because of its dura- bility. When the sapwood in the tree becomes heartwood, the cells are supplied with. an aro- matic resin which is resistant to both fungi and insects. Juniper though not in the same family or genus, has even more aromatic properties and is more resistant to insects and fungi. It is fre- quently used to line cupboards and chests, having a very pleas- ant scent and excellent moth re- pellent qualities. > ‘White cedar has always been a very important tree in South- ern Ontario and has not fallen into disuse with the advent of steel posts. Large areas in the Niagara Peninsula and south of No. 7 Highway, lack any natural stands of cedar and must import posts from other sections of the province. Farmers with posts to sell could advantageously con- tact suppliers in htese areas. CANADA HELPED MARCONI Marconi perfected wireless tel- egraphy in Nova Scotia at the turn of the century. Canada gave him an 880.000 grant to help with his experiments. The cleared areas will no doubt grow up _with brambles and weeds, but within three to five years, young trees should become noticeable. If not, how- ever, the owner would be wise to plant the open spots by hand, to avoid too long a regeneration period. He could, of course, plant immediately following cut- ting and avoid any delay, but stands the risk of wasting trees if natural regeneration is satis- factory later. Choice of Trees In planting artificially, make sure to use a suitable mixture, as for example 40% white cedar, 40% white spruce and 20% white pine. The resulting crop will have more uses, and more value than a pure stand of cedar. Good Market One of the best methods of managing large cedar swamps is to clear cut in very small patch- es, not over 50 feet in diameter, commencing in the south-east- ward side of the woodlot. These patches could be spaced up to 50 feet apart, and for best results, follow the same pattern annual- ly, making the mmore frequent and spreading towards the wind- ward side. Replanting Cedar swamps are typical of this kind of site. They produce logs and poles but the main pro- duct is fence posts. Experience shows that the cedar swamp is one of the more difficult types to manage for continuous crops. White cedar, the common vari- ety, is a slow growing, shade en- during and water enduring tree, with a shallow rooting habit. It reproduces quite readily on drier sites in old pastures on the lee- ward side of swamps, but regen- eration is difficult when the stand is thinned. Another thing to watch for, is that if the stand is thinned uniformly. trees are much more subject to wind- throw because of the shallow rooting system. Clear Small Areas in snow after it falls. When frozen. the surface makes a good road for tractor or horse skid- ding, leading to the main truck road or firmer ground. Due to frequent mild spells experienc- ed during the past four winters, these skid roads are often tem- porarily impassable, though us- ually they freeze over again fair- ly quickly during the next cold snap. Too much timber should not be cut ahead of skidding es- pecially in very wet locations to avoid the danger of logs freezing in the ice.

The editor notes several other items of interest which include this terse item regarding local militia pay: “Officers of the mil- itia will be paid one dolar a day and men, 50c without." Also a subject of interest both then and now was a recent hurricane which'passed over Joliette des- troying a large number of build- ings in addition to damaging most of the sugar bushes in the area. Absence Of Crime Vienna: It is rumored that ne- gotiations are pending for a triple alliance between Germany, Austria and England. News of Royal Family Also of wide interesi were two items regarding the activities of thg ABritishmRoyal Family: “Queen Victoria was 58 years old on Thursday and this is the fortieth year of her reign." The Prince of Wales lately made the fastest journey on record from London to Paris. It occupied on- ly seven hours and three-quar- ters. including stop-overs at Folkestone and Amiensfi’ University Convocation An account of the proceedings notes that the college offers full courses in Arts, Science, Law. Theology and Medicine. Several matrons of the town have con- sented to hold socials at their residences to assist in raising $500 for landscaping the grounds around Faraday Hall, the new Science ‘building at the college. Of interest in and around Co- bourg this week of May 26 was the fact that Convocation exer- cises were being held at Victor- in college in Cobourg. According to a report on the work around the Cobourg har- bour: Mr. Kingsford's staff of 19 engineers recently engaged on the harbour survey were all dis- charged Monday morning‘by the Minister of Public Works. It was unexpected, comments the Sentinel. A concluding article was a letter to the editor in which a Cobourg citizen compliments the town on the excellent moral tone of the community noting that at the time there was not one citizen of Cobourg lodged in the county jail. It is interesting to note the conspicuous absence of crime in this paper of 78 years ago, as is suggested by the author of the letter. Whether or not this is a true picture of the time is debat- able but, nevertheless. it ap- BLAGKBURN APPLIANCE 8: SALES Thornhill AV. 5-1333, BA. 1-5971 Aluminlzed tube with tdcglas filter Exclusive cosmic eye scanning system - Latest cascade tun'mg Fully automatic gain control Superb cabinet in walnut or limed oak The Mammoth 24" Picture See it today“ at a busy life filled with responâ€" sibilities to one of aimless idle- ness may make for boredom and frustration and consequent ill health.
