St. Rita’s Church KEEP THE FORESTS GREEN — KNOW THE REGULATIONS British Columbio‘s forest fire season opens May 1 and for the next six months, special regulations will be in force governing the use of fire in the woods. Fires charged to careless smokers and campers has dropped almost 50% since the start of the Can- adian Forestry Association, which is commendable, but swe feel this can be cut even further with the coopera- tion of the public as a whole,: It is the duty of every adult resident in B.C. discovering a fire to do his ut- most to prevent it from spreading and to report it as quickly as possible to the Forest Service. Nothing mars the beauty of our country side like a dead, burnt over area, usually caused by someones carelessness. The Forest Law is in effect from May 1 to Oct- 31, during which permits must be obtained before startirig any campfire, clearing, or industrial fire within a half mile of any forest or woodland.: Under the law it is illegal to build any campfire within 10 ft. of any log, stump, snag or standing tree. All in- . flammable material must be cleared away for a dis- tance of three feet in every direction from the edge of every campfire, and every campfire must be totally extinguished before leaving. Lighted matches must also be totally extinguished before being thrown away. It is well to remember violation of the Provincial Fire Law may bring fines of from $25 to $300 or im- prisonment ‘for up to two years. Penalties are also: provided for any persons entering the woods when they have been closed to travel by order of the Forest Branch. The B.C. Forest Service maintains an extensive forest protection system to ensure prompt action against fire in any region of the province, but even’ the most elaborate fcrest protection program will fall by the way if you, the public, do not co-operate. Here are four points that every camper, hiker or | traveller in our woods should bear in mind at all » times: (1) Break that match. (2) Drown that camp- fire. (3) Crush that cigarette. (4) Use that ashtray. THE NEW ERA IN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHING Editor J. S. Giles wet down the form containing eight columns of hand-set type, each letter individual- ly set. He was trying to make, the wooden form ‘swell to hold the type tight. Then it wos necessary to dry the form. In the yard, he built a fire and held the form above it. It dried, all right. Eight columns of hand set type fell, letter by letter, into the fire. That was in 1890. John Giles, who still owns the Lachute (Que.) Watchman operated by his son and grandsons, was one of the early printerzeditors in this country. Today, weekly newspapers are set by machin- * es and printed.on high-speed presses. The miracle of the weekly press continues to owe onlookers. Those of us who found a satisfying life as triembers of the community, relating the human interest story of good neighbors and needling council ,fo get on with its program, feel justly proud of our progress. Today, expensive machines combine with electronics to provide’ the district with its news and views. —~ We are constantly trying to improve. New print- ing processes are on the horizon, new business meth- ods ‘are being adopted, ‘new techniques for gathering ond-writing the news are being opened to us- This. is why we join the Ryerson Institute of Technology, in Toronto, in its efforts to recruit. bright : young high school graduates to take training to be- come future publishers of Canada’s weekly newspapers. This progressive college offers young people not only the: skills but the management know-how to build Canada by building the weekly press. "> Ryerson now offers prospective publishers two three-year diploma courses: one in Journalism and the other in Printing Management. .They are co-operat- ing with Canada’s weekly press in providing a com- bination of both courses to equip bright young students to prepare themselves for the management of weekly newspapers. To aid such students, the All Canada Insurance Federation has established a $5,000 bur- sary fund, from which they will provide 10 bursaries of $500 each. We commend such studies to your attention. And we invite you to visit our plant to discover’how those fellows. behind the typewriters and printing presses keep you acquainted with what's going on in your . community.

The reports given by the visiting people will all go toward streng- thening their applications, since parade deportment is of the highest order.
