(Forts, från sidan 1) may show him an easier or better way to engineer the job, may show him how the road can be run so as to sacrifice only the poorer trees. Or he may stop him altogether. The criterion is “community inter-! est”. This priority of ‘public right’ over every man’s woodlands — the big fellow’s and the little fellow’s — by popularly-elected j boards and staffs of experts has i two objects. It keeps a check- ■ rein on big company influence : and special privilege, and it' treats every timber tree as aj trust—deed for the future ol the race. if you own 1,000,000 trees or 500, you knuckle down to the same set of rules and you also dip into the common pool for your quintal of bene-fits. Restraint, however, is the lesser job of the 25 provincia forestry boards, for they provide advice and aid to the ror- i est owner, hold. educational conferences, arrange le^soas in I common school, instruct ele-mentary groups of farmers' sons, and generate goodwill anu unders tanding. Where are all these skilled forest engineers and managers found? Sweden has been turn-ing them out for 124 years She now has 1,100 of them in professional employ, plus 3,000 men called “rangers” who are just a little less than engineer ■ graduates. Canada has 13 times Sweden’s forest area (90 per I cent controiled by the Provinc-ial Government) but Canada | has hardly more than 500 forest engineers at work, less than ; half of Sweden. Nor has Cana- ' da anything to parallel the Swedish “ranger” who is add- i ing 100 of his type to the; woodlands annually. In a broad | sensé, Sweden uses more than . 4,000 men of technical train-ing and gifts of leadership to prepare the way for conserva-tion. Walking down the trail of a little forest of “Harad” or “The Hundred Commune” in the ve-ry heart of a populous district, a family grouse trickled across the path, and trampling of sticks deep in the bush gave signs of larger game. “Those elk must be reduced this fall.” said the warden to his chief. “We can’t allow more than 25 of them to each 700 acres.” If you want to meet pioneer abundance, come to an ancient country! tiden att påbörja byggandet även annan, vilken kommer att bli av samma storlek som den till Ryssland överlåtna ‘Jääkarhu’, världens starkaste isbrytare. UNRRA:s Finlandshjälp är nu till 80 proc, genomförd, och man hoppas vara färdig med utdelningen av varorna till julen. Utdelningen av kläder har omfattat ca. en milj kg. Till landet väntas i höst ca. 27,500 tunnor sill. Det egna fisket inbragte 10,000 tunnor, resten kommer att köpas från Holland, Island och Norge. Den finska sillen har redan utsläppts på marknaden. Den nya svenska samskolebyggnaden invigdes nyligen i Uleåborg. Den gamla byggnaden nedbrann under kriget och den nya byggnaden har uppförts med hjälp från Sverige som donerat all byggnadsmaterial för skolbygget. Samtliga nordiska reklamfirmor har bildat en gemensam förening under firmanamn av “The Scandinavian Four”, och ämna etablera ett mycket intimt samarbete de fyra länderna emellan.

What looks to be an unsuc-cessful campaign can still be made into a success. The full realization of what failure will mean not only for the agencies, services they maintain, and the people they serve, but what failure means in a city that has not accepted its respons-ibilities in the field of private health and welfare. Perhaps the time has come to take stock of the situation. Certainly the time has come to tell the citizens of our town the plain, unvarnished truth. And to make the telling of it so forceful that they get tu i ne simple truth that the agencies will curtail thelr services be-cause they have to. There whl not be anough Vlctorian Order of Nurses. There will not be | more supervised Visiting Honie-1 makers to help fill the ever-in-rcreasing demand. Cases of neg-; lect and delinquency and brok-en homes will have to be passed I by because staffs will not be adequate. All through the structure of our community or-gqnization the little seeus ot disintegration will genntnate and grow and spread. Vancouver iå a young and vital and growing city, it cannot afford to pennit this undermining process. Our city must grow in healtli and strength if it is to ' fulfil its shining future. | Campaign has not failed yet. It döes not need to fail. If those who have not increased thelr subscriptions to meet the growing need in a growing city, if those who have this year de-creased théir subscription will surely think again. And havtag thought, give again.
