Parenis' Day in City Schools '

Par.-nts calling at the City --Iv-ols during Visitar'a Day yes- terday received an insight into the work being dime in the various classes. The afecmoon was set nsirir fnr the purpose in connection l'i'il Education Week. but com- yntativt-iy few parents availed tiiruist-lves of the opportunity.

Much of the older system of teaching has disappeared and in

its place pupils find themselves

learning through doing things ll ivtrii give them pleasure. One prin- cipal rcmarked that there appeared tr he an entirely different attitude union: the teachers of the primary gradcs especially as they now en- inyod their work among the young siiidmts. This was reflected in the nizniis themselves who now lieem .-irirsrssod of it real love of their rcliooltvnrk.

Parents who visited the schools yesterday saw the workings of the new teaching system of which they i-.ai-p only previously heard from ii-.c: children. In one grade a rirawtt-lg lesson was in progress rt: ring the time allotted to visitors While the pupils carried on with tticir work the teacher displayed unlit which had been done on past n--msions and pointed out how the tvimis themselves had done in pic- I--zr form a story which they had p!'t”l'lOll.li,V studied in their reader.

On another board in the class- room were approximately Ll draw- incs by members of the class who rlmso their own subjects and color- zncs. Most of the work was good and some was surprisingly well ex- mitt-d.

To qualify for the top market price nnd.tiie full government premium he said. mnrkct hogs must now dress between 150 in 170 lbs hot weight instead of 140 lbs to 170 lbs as they did in the pest. V

Pictured above is Capt. John E. Faulkner. 91. who was well known to countless Island shipping men before the turn of the century and known to North shore fishermen 10 years before that.

Capt. Faulkner was in charge of Ripple Co. fishing off the North Shore of this Province back in taco. He was born in West Jeddore, Halifax County. N.5., in 1881 and went to sea when he was only 14 years old. I

When he left the fishing in- dustry he captained many a ship sailing from Prince Edward Island with local produce intended main- ly for Nova Scotia markets. I-lis principal shipping points were New London, summerside. Georgetown and Souris. After leaving the act- ive life of the sea he still remained close to it as he was in charge of lighthouses in his native country for 27 years before finally retiring.

He and Mrs. Faulkner celebrated their Golden wedding anniversary on December 5, 1938. but a sudden illness caused the death of Mrs. Faulkner two days later.

Old timers would also recall that Capt. Faulkner served on the old C.G.S. Aberdeen for tseveral years.

His last. visit. to this Province was made in July, 1938. when ac- companied by his son, George. and daughter-in-law. he visited his neice. Mira Percy Keenan and Mr. Keenan. Kent Street.

He now resides on the old Nova Scotla. homestead with his adopt- ed snri Gerry and the latter: wife and two children. other children living: are sons George. Halifax: Harry and Ernest. Dartmouth: Charles and Fred. Jcddorc: and John. of Westwocd. Mass. -An ad- opted daughter. Mrs otto Baker. lives in Dartmouth.

iluality Production Of Wood Emphasized I

The production ofgwood of good quality is a prime requisite if best returns are to be obtained from sale oi the products. said Mr. Frank J Gaudet. Chief Forester in the Department of Industry and Net- ural Resources. Mr. Gaudet was referring to the proper manage- ment of woncliots by owners desir- our of bent-fitting financially fromi them. -

Recently Mr. Gaudct described various ways in which ivoodlot owners could increase the rate of growth of trees as one means of adding to the financial re- turns. Asked about ways of im- proving the quality the Chief Forester said that first of all. the woodlot owner should know the valuable kinds of trees on his area. He should manage his woodlot so that these trees are given the best chance to grow and propagate. All "weed" trees should be removed as they are only taking the place of some more valuable tree. In the end. the woodlot. will contain noth- ing but desirable species of trees. This is brought about by wise and judicious cutting.

Other Precautions

second, the trees that are to be left should be of good shape or form. A good straight tree with an evenly tapered trunk has a much greater value than a crooked. fork- ed on branchy tree. A tree with about one-third of its stop in live branches is the ideal one to leave as it is capable of producing the greatest amount of wood. Low quality trees take up too much valuable space in our unmanaged woodlots.

Third. only sound trees should remain in the woodlot. If rotten or other defective trees are left. not only will they spread,thcir infec- tion to other healthy trees but the wood from them is unsuited foi- products of high quality. In a bad- ly neglected woodlot. the percent- age of defective wood is very high.

Fourth. the larger the tree. the greater is the value per unit of wood. provided of course. the tree is sound and of a good species. Not only does the sale of large clear logs bring higher pieces than do smaller knotty ones but the work it: cutting and limbing trees of small diameter twice as great as th. work involved in cutting and lirnbing trees of twice the dia- meter. As an example pulp-comp- anies have found that twice as much wbrk is required in cutting al cord made up of 4-inch trees mes-1 suredist breast height than a cord , madelup of ti-inch trees. .

"Weed" Trees

Fifth. cutting the so-called "weed" trees or trees that are of oor quai- lty. A poor quality tree a weed tree is only taking up space a val- uable speoles should occupy. our more common weed trees are grey or wire birch. pin cherry. mount- Iln maple. striped maple. alder and willow. Thea. trees are of no com- mercial importance. and produce very little wood of poor quality.

Lastly. after abutting. the area should be adequately restocked with desirable species it continued pro- duction of wood is dined at. Nat- ural restocking Is the easiest. and cheapest method and can only be scblaved through the props: choice

proposed by Roiarian Frank Cur-

President Giddinga then intro- duced Rotarinn Darrell MacGuire who acted as master of ceremon- ies during lhe arranged program which followed. The first part consisted of an impromptu rnrlio programme arranged through the courtesy of Rntarian Keith Rog- ers and CFCY. Rolarian Frank hlackinnon interviewed Rotarians rind guests none of whom lintl tiny Idea beforehand that they would be asked questions or what the questions might be. The re- sult was an hilarious time which

everyone thoroughly enjoyed. A llti later the recording was played back to the crowd and

Have To look For Golf Balls The llariigl-lay

AKRON. 0.. March 5--(AP)-H Duffers' dreams of finding miss- ing golf balls with a glrger coun- ter appeared today to be just. a dream--despite scientific atten- tion to the idea.

The research centre of a rub- her -company here played around with the idea a couple of years ago and came up with a radio- active ball which could be de- tected with the atomic ray coun- ter.

That's as far as the company went. It. gave a demonstration for some golf prnfx and then announ- ced it was in the rubber--not the golf ball or atomic-business.

The Atomic Energy Commission said a ball with enough radio- activity to be any good would be dangerous if carried more than three hourtt a week. It also s1ii'i a counter able to detect the ball at six feet would cost. 5700.

Mr. Gardiner stated he is sure that farmers will be satisfied withl the compensation paid by the- Federal Government. l

In reply to a'qucstion from Mr. Diefenbaker, Mr. Gardiner said it is not the government's intention under the bill to buy cattle to re- place farmers' stocks.

The government felt it was pre- ferable to give the farmer the cash and let him buy his cattle.
