Fhe Oshawa Ses Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ot. Page 6 Monday, October 3, 1960 Planning Of Land Use Advocated For Ontario In the next 40 years, Ontario will have to produce twice as much of most kinds of food to supply the province's growing population. A report on land use, presented by the Conservation Council of Ontario to the provincial government today, shows that of 33 mil lion acres of land south of the Precam- brian Shield, only 12 million can be considered suited for agriculture. But in the next 40 years, Ontario will need approximately 1.5 million acres of ad- ditional land for urban purposes, and another 200,000 for recreational pur- poses. The report recommends that a plan be established to look after the non-agricultural needs outside the 12 million acres of prime farm land. There has been some municipal plan- ning of land use, extremely limited re- gional planning and still less provincial planning, even though it has been ob- vious for years that, unless something were done to channel urban growth and the links between urban masses, a con- siderable part of Ontario bordering on Lakes Ontario and Erie would inevitably become a jungle of asphalt, traffic jams and pollution. Uncontrolled urban sprawl not only destroys first-rate farm land but ine creases the need for the products that come from that land, a self-defeating process from the start. There is another important factor in the relation between urban and agricul tural land use, also noted in the Conser- vation Council's report. The urban sprawl tends to lay an unfair burden of taxation on farming communities, Land cannot be farmed economically once taxes rises much above those in the average farm community, but land values climb as soon as urban development begins to stretch towards the farm area. This border land is thus forced into idleness, or condemned to exploitation farming, or broken up residential parcels, The Council's sensible proposal is that a uniform base of assessment for land be established, no matter where that land is located. This could mean con- for sale as siderable reorganization of the municipal system, since it would mean regional planning and regional collection of taxes. But such a reorganization seems inevi- table in any case, Attack On Coarse Fish Spearing and netting of carp should be allowed all year round to help keep them under control, the Otonabee Re- gion Consevation Authority agreed last week, and there will be general approval of the idea across the province Acting on the advice of a Depart- ment of Lands and Forests biologist, the chairman of the ORCA's wildlife ad- visory board suggested that the Author- ity should ask the department to rescind regulations which forbid the netting and spearing of coarse fish in Peterborough, Victoria, Durham and Northumberland counties. If the department approval -- and there is no reason why it should not -- the change in the fish- eries regulations should not be confined to those counties. Carp are a problem all across southern and central Ontario. Northern waters, fortunately, are pretty well free of these ugly and destructive fish, but they could spread there as inconsiderate fishermen dump southern bough minnows in violation of the ban on moving minnows from one body of water to another. The Kawarthas have every reason to gives 1ts be disturbed about the invasion of carp, which have clearly had a bad effect on fishing in the Otonabee and the lakes that feed of big carp could be seen in eddies and into it.

He probably believes what he says, because he be- lieves that strict government control of all aspects of a nation's life is more effi- cient than the apparent irresponsibility or lack of direction that, superficially, seems to exist in a free society, He has some converts, too, even among those who abhor Communism -- people who theorize that only the state can direct a nation's economy to make the best use of its human resources, industrial ap- paratus and raw materials. Capitalism has its inefficiencies and its inequalities, its speculators who garner reward out of proportion to their labor. But in the controlled, directed economy, contrary to what the theorists may assume, such problems are not solved but generally multiplied.

"For many he "the Soviet Union can be said to have led years," writes, the world in fiddles and rackets of every kind -- mostly, until lately, arising di- rectly out of the functioning of a cen- economy in which personal services were chronically tralized goods and scarce, "There have been the speculators who, by various means, in the days of extreme shortage of almost everything that any- body wanted, managed to corner what supplies there were and re-sell them at inflated prices . . . There have been the fixers, who arrange complicated deals between factories and industrial trusts, short-circuiting the official ministerial channels. Sometimes they earn regular salaries from the factories they work for in their ingenious search for components and raw materials held up in the plan- ning bottlenecks; always they rake off a heavy commission. "There have been pushers, or boosters, individuals officially on the strength of the ministries, trusts, individual factories, who are glorified contact men set out to accelerate deliveries. "Now there are the expense account men as such. Sometimes they are boost- ers and fixers, too, passing themselves off for the record as serious students of production methods; sometimes they are simple functionaries, or favored work- ers, being given a free holiday at the expense of the State." Articles in the Soviet press are de- manding that the fixers, speculators and boosters be sent to forced labor camps as enemies of the state.

Disapproval however, has risen from a 30 per cent point early last year, to 40 per cent, Highest approval comes from the Maritimes where well on to six in ten endorse the PM's work, In Ontario and the West just under five in ten do so.

It all started eight years ago when two Englishmen who had been Air Force buddies in Burma during the Second World War happened to meet again here. Leslie Badham was a Londoner who found little opportunity for a go-getter like himself to the frustrating life of Britain's wel- fare state under socialist govern- ment. "I was sick of filling out forms. and getting no place," he told me, Then one dey he filled out another kind of form-a coupon for a football pool -- and with what he modestly calls "begin. ner's luck," he won about $3,500, Hig first purchase with that wind. fall was four steamship tickets to Canada--one-way-for himself his wife, their little girl Daphne, and his mother-in-law. Eric Pierce of Bristol was sent to ottawa to work with the RCAF. He was a squadron leader with 28 years of service in the RAF, He and his wife Kathleen and their seven - year - old son Peter had enjoyed their years here, and were disappointed when the order came to return to England. SHOESTRING PARTNERSHIP So these two Burma veterans, happening to meet again here, talked it over, and formulated a novel plan, Little English cars were finding more and more buy- ers Here; but their Ottawa own. ers suffered from the handicap that at that time the servicing facilities for the cheap European imports did not match that of- fered by the big North American automobile manufacturers, Leslie and Eric were both fa. miliar with aero engines; the power plant of a little English car was child's play to them. So they pooled their slim re- sources, paid $3,000 down on a run<down shack in a centrally-lo. cated back street, cleaned it up, laid in a modest stock of tools and spares, hung up a shingle proclaiming "English Motors Ltd." and promised "special ser. vice for English cars." Word - of - mouth recommen. dation by satisfied clients, and good service to keep every cus tomer, soon built up a volume of work beyond the capacity of four hands. An English Sunday news. paper printed their '""home-town boys make good' story, and men- tioned the current Canadian wages which they would pay a qualified assistant. over three hundred readers cabled or air. mailed their application for the job, but it was filled by a con- fident young man who stepped aboard a transatlantic liner within 48 hours and just arrived, BRINGS CUSTOMERS The Badham and Plerce type of 'special service" brought them the agency for Rolls Royce, which is the world series grand. slam home run of the business.

Jack Pickersgill with his more modest little Eng- lish car, More help was recruited from England. Thirty-two have come in all in eight years. Only one went home, dissatisfied. Several have come on 'assisted pas- sages," the assistance being cash advanced by their future em- ployer, English Motors 14d.
