And an informed public opinion and pressure, often, on our elected representatives will be necessary to keep this reforestation going. It must never stop. Here anj a few figures supplied to me by Canadian Western Lumber Company: from 1943 to 1948, this company planted 3.026.OO0 trees on 3,650 acres of denuded land, mostly on the site of the great Campbell River fire of 1938. Total planting throughout the province now amounts to HI. 51 7,450 trees, on 110,847 acres, industry has planted 15.587,100 trees on 19,235 acres, while the government's forest service has planted 75,830,350 trees on 91.412 Be There Mond iy'-s.t.fL-'U J It 7 By CANON BASIL S.

I must say I was aston- ished when I was driven up into . the hills, , 'way back of beyond,! to find vast areas green and lush, covered with new trees that will be ready for cutting : in;80 to 100 years. You can't see i these new forests from the highways, and so the public doesn't know what's going on. The public sometimes thinks of the lumber industry as robber j barons ruining the people's nat-i ural resources. But if that did j happen in the past, it's not hap-1 pening now. These new forests are the very llfeblood of the ; province's economy. It was encouraging and com-! forting to see these new forests ! and, to be honest, it was pub-1 lie opinion that forced government and industry to co-oper- acres.

Abanavas discovered .he was ,heir to the fortune while visiting the native land of his parents, Greece, while on leave from the army, but due to Greek money itgulutiuns he can't take Ills .15 ibilliun drachmas uut of the country. And even if he were able to convert them to dollars, Uie current rate of exchange 18O.OOO drachmas to one dollar would leave Abanavas with a paltry half-uiilliun dollars.

I have tried my best. j So far as I know, not a single j candidate in Vancouver South i has said one really mean thing I abuut any other candidate of j any party though each has in- i tuUigently set forth their ow.i j party's case. ' NO MATTER who wins in Van- j couver South we surely set a j record for Canada; j All candidates met several Now for my visit to the Motor Vehicle Branch. I came away from that visit encouraged, too. The Motor Vehicle Branch, in its drivers' education, Is trying to check up 0:1 car drivers who are constantly in trouble with the law, wlu have accident after accident, nnd are therefore menaces to society. Every car licence holder in the province ha.s his own file and that's a lot of flies. Every EXCEPT for a Sunday of contemplation, the election campaign is all but over. By Monday night we shall have most of the answers to who, what, where and by how much? I While the campaign . itself may not get much attention in history, the , government it produces certainly will, for Cana-da is just moving into the Jeircle of big and influential company." Whatever kmd of government it may have, its presence can ;be hardly overlooked, but the direction of its affairs Jwill determine whether it is accepted for its size or Jits brains, or both. I , That is where we voters come in. By. our elec-toral system, the decision as to who will make the ;decisions rests with us. That means we are in control. We are the boss. ", In such an important position, the greatest 'mistake any of us could make would be to fail to report for work the day we are most needed the ;day that our mam is to be hired. It becomes particularly foolish when all that work involves is to 'give some thought to the question and mark an X. There is no board meeting, no speech to make. There ws"just a bit of paper, a pencil and that X. This, of course, is not news to anyone, but it is ."evidently too much of a trial to some. For those Yho feel apathetic about it, we might point out that Shis little job is the most important you will ever do. V'our voice in your country's affairs is the biggest voice you will ever have.

The latest and most bloodcurdling alarm is sounded in the July issue of Pageant magazine. Some 28,000 Americans mot to mention Canadians) Were- killed and 4,000.-000 injured in home accidents last year, it says. The Pageant article is accompanied by unpleasant little pictures of men, women and children falling down stairs and off ladders, roasting alive in bed, gazing down the barrels of loaded guns and slumping in car seats while carbon monoxide fumes dq for them.

Some 28.7 per cent of accidents happen In the bedroom meaning, of course, such mishaps as being burned or smothered by smoke. So we must cut out the bedroom. Get a tarpaulin and a blanket and sleep under the stars. . For extra safety, we will also eliminate the kitchen 1 11.2 per cent of accidents), 'cellar (5.6i and porch (4.5). That leaves us no house only the yard. But 13.9 per cent of accidents happen in the yard, so we'll have tq eliminate that too. "Where are we going to stay?" you may ask a silly question if I ever heard one. It says right in the magazine that more lives were lost in home accidents last year than in the first three years of the Korean war.

However, when the house and all its furniture are bent on murder or violent assault the way they seem to be, precautions are of little use. No, the only thing to do is to reform the house. Perhaps the house is nursing a grievance against society. Take the house aside, give It a fatherly pat on the roof and explain that everybody likes it, but there are a few things it ought to know for its own good.
