4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, March 5, 1960 Speaker Stresses Need For Good Conservation BOWMANVILLE 'The importance of the need for conservation was impressed on the Rotary club at its Friday luncheon meeting by Toronto con- sultant engineer Ralph Harris. Mr. Harris said the chief ob- stacle facing those interested in conservation is finding selfless men of sympathy, to set the ex- ample and promote a good con- servation program. At the meet- ing were several members of the Central Lake Ontario Conserva- tion Authority. Mr, Harris confessed he is not an expert on conservation. If he lived to be 110, he said he would never be an expert in any one phase of the complex problems of conservation. HARD TO DEFINE He addeC he is much concern- ed by the use and the abuse of the word conservation. He sai the word has such tremendous| implications it would be hard to! define. | "If I were to ask what is meant| by conservation of natural re-| sources, 1 would probably get al dozen different answers, and all would be correct," he said. | "However, it is ambzing the pumber of people you will find] today who have planted one tree and feel hy so doing they have completed a lifetime obligation to conservation," he added. According to Mr, Harris, patural resources are divided into two main classes, replace- able and non-replaceable. Where resources such as petroleum and materials become exhausted, they must be replaced through chemistry. "But it takes 80 to 100 years to grow merchantable timber in a ¢limate such as we have, When the pioneers first came here 160 years ago, which is a long time for humans, but a relatively short time in the life of our patural resources, the woodlands were filled with virgin white pine| and many other species of trees," | be said. | "Today this supply is almost| exhausted, and the same holds] true for many species of fish and wildlife. These are two of the |exceptions, (Staff) --is of such great importance," Ontario, Mr, Harris stated. BASIC ESSENTIALS The three basic essentials in conservation are water preserva- tion, flood control and erosion of land control, he said. "Water is our first requirement as all life depends upon an ade- quate water supply. I frightened myself by a study of the statistics regarding the number of streams which have disappeared. In 1927, 17 per cent of the wells in a town- ship were going dry, and in 1940 in a survey conducted between Toronto and Dundas, it was learned 67 per cent of the streams in the area were found dried up." There are about 500 dedicated people doing the job of conserva- tion -- trying to educate the peo- ple in a long-range intensive con- servation program. These are the members of the various conser- vation authorities around the| province, who do not receive the credit for their work, said Mr. Harris. WATER POLLUTION He pointed out water pollution is becoming a major problem in and according to Premier Leslie M. Frost, to con- trol this problem would cost in the neighborhood of two and a half billion dollars. Industrial wastes present a strong scientific problem for those attempting to control water pollution, he stated. Mentioning soil erosion, Mr. Harris noted only a very small percentage of soil is classed as top soil. It is in this top soil where all vegetation is grown, and in the last 50 years, the Unit- AT PORT PERRY. By . WH.

"It is estimated there is about four and a half million tons of top soil carried down the Missis- sippl River into the Gulf of Mex- ico each day.
