Forest Grove Again

Having marshalled their facts and figures concerning the
Forest Grove school addition appropriation in their last by-law,
the School Boarad’s case, as presented, will be found in another
column of this paper.

ster going to a school that has an enrollment of around 130
pupils.

lay with the representatives or the trustees - are irrelevent, |
Which will be more than can be said of the results. He was
given to undestand that his youngsters would soon be going

to an enlarged school, with a heating plant and lavatory fa-)
cilities. As a result he voted in favour of the by-law because |
of these improvements.

Caterpillars
Fuzzy caterpillars are disdained
by nearly all birds as an article of
food. The American cuckoos are one
exception to the-rule. They have no
aversion’ to devouring as many as
they can can find,:resulting in their
stomachs becoming lined with hairs.

Wooden Dollars

enough to possess a one dollar Dill
remember that, if it wasn’t for Brit-

Half Your Wages from Forests -

In British Columbia, no matter
how.large or how small it may be
or where it happens to be burning, a
forest fire is of direct concern to
YOU! Roughly 50 cents of every
dollar earned in this province is de-
rived from our forests!
