Fonts-rav DIVISION
1.-o;,,.try was first introduced into Prince Edward Island in the yr-ar1h93II when, under the National 1:..n.-521.;-'y Program. a numbe at
yuungumen under the supervislon'
of a graduate forester. selectively t-ut from one half to one acre plots uu previously chosen sites, mostly aion ain highways. These man- aged plots,were'supposed to dem- onstrate that by a selective cut- ting. 'wood'ot owners could not only ohtai their winter's supply of fuel, logs ;and pulpwood. but what is more important, still have wood left standing. It impressed people
at the time but the majority soon a.
forgot that cutting could be done unde a system of management and ii back to the agpold pract- ice I clear-cutting. War came and even ithe people responsible for the intri ction of forestry were quick- ly absorbed into the great task of emerging the victor. Forestry was forgotten until 1951 when, under the Department of Industry and Naturdl Resources. is Forestry Di- visionlwas formed. Two graduate foreslets. Mr. Wendell Profitt and Mr. J.'Frank-Gaudet were hired to head the division. In the summer of 1955 this division was transferr- ed to the Department of Agricult- urc. .
The policy can be broken down into two main divisions namely:- (i) Reforestation of waste lands. (2) Forest management. These shall be dealt with separately. REFORESTATION. OF. WASTE LANDS
in order to reforest any amount of waste land a continuous source of plant supply had to be ensured. With this in mind a forest tree nursery was established at Beach lirove in 1952. This nursery will come into production in the spring and there will be approximately two hundred thousand transplants either for sale or to be planted by the (lidision this year. The plant- ings have formerly been on marg- inal and sub-rnarglnal. govern- ment-owned lands. This year the policy will be changed to include privately-owned lands. More about this will be forthcoming at a later date. As people . are becoming ever more Christmas-tree con- scious. an adequate amount of bal- sam fir, the favorite yuletlde tree. has been started in the nursery. However. our nursery will not be able to supply the demand for such a species for another year. FOREST MANAGEMENT
Forestry or forest management means the LulltIllll0USlY- efficient handling and profitable use of the forest. Clear-cutting. as practiced here, is not sound forest manage- ment, in many cases. In fact. rlear-cutting is only considered good practice. if there exists, aft- er the cut. adequate regeneration to ensure the continuance of the woodlot. With this in mind. it has been this division's aim to try and educate the woodlot owner in the efficient handling of the woodlot. There are a few who do handle lhcir ooklota property, but the malaria still practice clear-ooh ting. Demonstration woodlots have been set up on provincially-owned lands in different localities on P. l-Z.I. with the idea of increasing the interest in them. It is hoped that the number of demonstration woodiots will be increased each year. People who wish to visit these wooklots may do so and see how a wellcared for woodlot looks like and how it should be manag- ed.
In ending. I will do so by strik- ing a rather pessimistic note; I do not think that we on P.E.I. value our woodlots to the full ex- lent. We have no idea what they are worth. not only in dollars and cents but in the many and varied functions they perform in soil con- servation. water conservation and as tourist attractions. Should we not take more interest in our wood- lands? 'Should we not treat and care for them as any other agric- ultural crop? For as Mr. J.'Mulr. Vice-President and General Man- ager of the Royal Bank of Canada so aptly stated and I quote:-"we are only the temporal; trustees and custodians .of our vast re- sources and endowments-that we

LONDON (AP) w Albert Pierre.- Pomi. Britain's official hangman, is quitting the job-just as Britain seems about to give up hanging.
The 45-year-old executioner said
Sunday. however, that the cam- paign to abolish the gallows for convlcted murderers has nothing to do with his decision. He empha- sized he is resigning so that he can devote all his time to running his pub. The House of Commons already has given tentative approval to the abolition of captial punishment for murder although Prime Minister Eden has indicated the government will refuse to support a "no hang. lng" bill when it is voted upon shortly. -
Pierrepoint. a short. stocky man with a ready smile, is giving up only a part-time job. He got 5215 for each hanging. Hui he fou1d the macabre sideline a good business for it attracted the curious to his lpub. called "Help the Poor Strugg. er."
Now he has taken over a 300- yelir - old inn. ”The Rose and Crown." near Blackpool. There, usually smoking a cigar or cheroot.
FRIENDSHIP TRAIL When we lose a friend with whom we've walked Many years o'er Irl0ll(lSllli)S trail For many a day our tours o'er flow And life seems trite and stale.
But then we think of pleasures shared,
Of memories land and dear,
And we find a smile is struggling with,
And drying up the tear
Memories we tell like a Rosary, And treasure each loving deed. The kindly things that were done for us.
The help when we were in need.
No. we never lose our beloved dead Not dead for they only sleep, And we know if God wills.
In the land above,
A living vigil they keep.
The curtain may fall.
But not for long.
Are our dear ones from us apart And while they are from day to
day. We hold them first in our heart.

Good naturedly. he smiled off at- temptrto let him to talk about his "other job." He once said it was "sacred to me. really."
He never took sides publicly on the opital punishment issue. A. few years ago he told a royal commission investigating capital punishment:
"I have seen more executions than anybody living-and I think a oman is braver than a man."
He said he considered hanging "as humane and quick as any method could be and certainly cleaner than' shooting."
The job of chief hangman has been in the Pierrepoint family for the last 85 years. His uncle, Thomas William Pierrepoint. exe cutioner for 35 years, retired in 1945 and died in 1954 at the age of 83 after hanging more than 300 criminals. Albert's father.
