Hard To Learn a Lesson. 



"Toronto Daily Star," Aug. 12. 

 1916: We need men who will handle 

 the fire danger in New Ontario — 

 men who will say that such disas- 

 ters as those of 1911 and 1916 can 

 be prevented and must be prevent- 

 ed. 



/;/ Periods of Drought. 



St. Catharines "Journal," Aug. 5. 

 1916: Ontario, particularly in the 

 Northern Clay Belt, has practically 

 no ranger patrol, carries on no pre- 

 ventive campaign, and offers no op- 

 position to the wholesale use of fire 

 by settlers for clearing their soil of 

 tree growth. 



The "Blessings" of Fire. 

 "Christian Guardian," Aug. 9. 

 1916: We agree with the Canadian 

 Forestry Association that it is fool- 

 ish to speak of the blessings of the 

 recent disastrous Northern Ontario 

 fires. The loss resulting from such 

 a fire is a very serious one indeed, 

 and. say what you will, it is a pre- 

 ventable loss. Stricter regulations 

 as to settlers' fires such as prevail 

 in other parts of Canada would help 

 a great deal. ^^'hy Ontario does 

 not adopt such regulations is diffi- 

 cult to understand.
