The   chairman   remarked\nthat the meeting would be open fof\ndiscussion on any matter pertaining to\ntho Hospital and its, interests, and he\nwould welcome any suggestions of a\nconstructive nature.   There was a certain procedure that must be followed\nout;and the first business would be to\nread  the  By-Laws,   which he  called\nupon  the  Secretary  to  read.   No.  8\nBy-law called for,a $1.00\/the amount\nof the annual subscription, and this\nbrought a' ready response, as 16 new\nmembers joined.\nAfter the minutes of the previous\nannual meeting were read and adopted,\nthe secretary-treasurer read the Financial report.

The remaining directors were re-elected.\nThe outstanding accounts, were read\nby the secretary and. those .present\nwere surprised at the total amounts of\nsame.\nMrs. H. Pannell, a director\/speaking\non behalf of the Midway residents,\nstated that they did not want to'see\nthe Hospital closed but would do all in\ntheir power to keep the institution go-1\ning.

Eastern Canada\nwas a forest, and the first thing to do\nwas to grow wheat, potatoes and hay.\nThe forest was the enemy to be rooted.\nToday, the people of Canada are awaking to the fact that the forest they\nonce regarded as an enemy is Canada's\nsecond best asset, and furthermore,\nthat it is a rapidly-disappearing'asset.\nWhite pine was once the .most commonly used lumber in this country, and\na.generation ago it was comparatively\nplentiful and cheap. Not so today.\nThe original stands .of white pine are\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd nearly gone. For saw-mill timber we\nnow depend largely on spruce and fir.\nSeventy per cent, of the timber 'in Canada of saw'-mill quality stands in\nBritish Columbia! Eastern Canada,\nonce a forest, is now buying lumber\nfrom the Pacific slope.\nThe accessible forests of Northern\nCanada today are chiefly valuable as\nsources of spruce pulp for paper-making. How long they will last, subjected to the present rate of exploitation\nplus the ravages of forest fire, has been\ncalculated, and the resulting figure is\nnot at all reassuring. In twenty-five\nyears, unless Canada wakes up soon,\nher forest industries, her lumber mills\n=and=paper=mills=and=woodiworking-\nfactories, will be closed up. Because\nher forests will be gone.\nCanadian Forest Week calls attention to this situation and,to the obvious\nremedy. If we can prevent forest fires,\nthe natural growth from year to year,\nforestry men say, will provide for the\ndemands of axe. arid saw. The'Canadian people as awhole must realize the\ngreat and increasing value of the forests of Canada which remain, arid\neach individual must do his or her best\nto prevent forest fires. Carefulness\nand good management will save Canada's   forest   industries   in   perpetuity.\nHon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the\nInterior, views forestry work as one of\nhis most important tasks, and not the\nleast important part of his effort is to\nmake the people of Canada realize that\nforest fires can and must be prevented.\nare willing to do some stunts with the\nspade and hoe themselves.\nWe here in Greenwood so often hear\nthe remark \"oh! if I only had something to do!\" When there is a garden\nto tend to many otherwise annoying\nhours can be spent most contentedly\nmaking flowers and shrubbs grow and\nbeautify ones homes.\nDIRTY  EGGS   ARE\nSPOILING   THE   TRADE\nThat one of the0 most aggravating\nproblems confronting the egg trade at\nthe present time is the far too frequent marketing of dirty eggs, is the\nopinion of-W. A. Brown, chief of.the\npoultry - division of the Dominion live\nstock branch. Farmers should realize;\nstates Mr. Brown, that they can do\nmuch toward improving the egg industry by taking steps to prevent the production and marketing of dirty eggs,\nand by discontinuing the very undesirable practice of washing, eggs before\nmarketing. X [.\nUnder circumstances, it is inevitable\nthat a few slightly dirty or stained eggs\nwill appear. But the former who consistently produces and markets large\nnumbers of dirty eggs surely does not-\nrealize the bad effect of this practice\non his-market. These eggs are unpopular with consumers and in many cities it is almost impossible to sell them\nat. any price.\nWashed eggst,are even more dangerous to the poultry industry than dirty\nones. Washing destroys- the natural\nprotective bloom of the egg shell and,\nthe shell being damp, mould spores\noften enter causing the egg to. become\nunfit for food\". ':\nAt the same,time it is not difficult\nto prevent the production of dirty eggs;\nWhat is needed; is an abundance of\nclean dry litter on the floor, plenty of\nnests, about one to every six hens,\nclean straw in the nests, .and frequent\ngathering of the eggs.\nGARDEN PEAS\n(New Introductions)\nLINDY'S  PRESENTS\nGARDEN TIME\nPoets and philosophers tell of the satisfaction obtained from cultivation of\nflower and vegetable gardens, but the\npractice is not as general as.could be\nwished. In many places there is much\nless gardening than there , was some\nyears ago. People have too many\nthings they want to do with their\nspare  time.\nIn many cities and towns, however,\nthe garden movement has been pushed\nas'a community proposition. People\nhave been urged, in;a systematic way,\nto decorate their grounds with handsome shrubbery and flowers, and some\nof these communities have developed\nan amazing amount of this beautification. ;\nSuch towns become noted, and every\nminute of time put in on those flower\nbeds is no doubt paid for in the higher\nvalue of real estate that is established\nin such a town.-\nAs respects vegetables, the advantage\nof the back garden ought to be obvious\nin these times of high prices. The\nchildren of the modern community do\nnot have enough sliare in the home\ntasks, and it would do them good to\nhave some regular labors in a. garden,\nand they could do a good deal of its\nwork.

Two\nyears ago some of these selections were\nnamed \"Bruce\", \"Kootenay\" and \"Director\".
