THOS. SOUTHWORTH. Esq. 

 President Canadian Forestry Association, 1909-1910. 



Born in Leeds county, Ontario, Mr. Southworth early entered journalism, and for 

 several years was connected with the Brockville Recorder — part of the time as sole pro- 

 prietor and part of the time in association with Hon. Geo. P. Graham. Appointed Director 

 of Forestry for Ontario in 1895, he became in 1897 a member of the special commission 

 appointed to examine and report upon the forest wealth of Ontario. In both positions 

 he attainedgreat success. His enthusiasm and knowledge of affairs brought his office 

 hitherto chiefly educational, into touch with practical affairs and practical men, and as a 

 result of his work much more is known of the extent and value of Ontario's forests and 

 many important progressive measures have been enacted. As Director of Colonization, 

 also, he did much to make known the agricultural possibilities of the "clay belt". Re- 

 signing his position early this vear, Mr. Southworth is now Secretary-Treasurer of the 

 King Radiator Co., Toronto. He retains his interest in forestry, and especially in the Can- 

 adian Forestry Association, and a very successful year is expected under his presidency.
