Published by Conadion Mewspapers Limited, £6 King 5, E,, Oshawa, Ont, Thwsdoy, February 23, 196) Dry Wi ter Not Only Reason For Shortage In recent weeks newspapers have carried meny pictures showing the various methods wsed to combet drought across Ontario end Quebec, A plessant, fairly dry autumn followed by weeks of cold but snowless winter westher resulted in the dropping of water levels in streams, lakes end wells. On many & form wells went dry, end even municipelities began to suffer, particularly in rursl aress, At Charles bowrg, 8 suburb of Quebec City, the municipality began delivering water from door to door, Farmers in this ares have been buying water for weeks, The weather can be blamed only in pert for the situation, The water table hes been dropping for years throughout most of southern Ontario, Cities in the central portion of southwestern Ontario in perticuler have been plagued by water shortages, so much so thet plens for pipelines to carry water from Lake Erie or Lake Huron have been con- sidered, The situation exists because of waste, because we have insisted in living off capital. The water in the earth can only be replenished from the dey. Watwre hes provided mesns of protection for the ssrth supply, Water is held in swamps end grudgingly released from these netursl reservoirs; trees slong streams protest the water from evaporsts ing end the hed from silting; trees, bushes ond other ground gover use whet water they need but protect and conserve the moisture in the earth, Bo we drain the swamps, cut down the trees, rip off the soil cover, and wonder why wells run dry and streams dwindle, Not content with this slow destruc tion, we hasten the process of waste by polluting rivers, creeks and lakes, We cover the earth with concrete and asphalt and wonder why the dying streams turn into rosring torrents after # few heavy showers, We pour our sewage ino the water end wonder why the fish die, the insects multiply and beaches and swimming holes are closed, Now we sre permitting our great lakes to be polluted, It may not be long before the water in Lake Erie becomes unfit for human consumption --and southwestern Ontario can forget shout thet source, Policy Of Pressure Soviet diversions end apparent flip- flops in policy may puzzle and anger the West, but Soviet strategy is rarely any- thing but consistent, The Communist attack on Dag Hammarskjold follows the pattern of the Communist attack on his predecessor, Trygvie Lie It differs only in intensity, The Russians have apparently come to the conclusion that their "interests" demand not an impartial secretary-general of the UN, but & weakened secretariat that can be more easily bullied, Just before he stepped down eight years ago as UN secretary-general, Mr, Lie stated propheticsllys "The policy of the Boviet government has heen and continues to be a policy of the crudest form of pressure not only against me but against any future secretary-general who may incur the displeasure of the Soviet Union for doing his duty as he sees it" Lie incurred Soviet wrath by backing UN eond tion of C ist aggres- sion in Kores, and the Russisns boy~ cotted him fer three years, Lie finally quit, hoping that his exit would make easier a Korean settlement. Now the Russians are employing the same tactics against Lies successor, Dag Hammarsk- jold, whose only sin is that he refuses to play the Soviet game in Africa, Hammarskjold's position may be even more difficult than his predecessor's, who hed only the Communist bloe aligned against him, There is pressure on Hammarskjold from some of the new African and Asian nations, Com» munist-inclined Guinea, for example, has demanded "the collective resigna~ tion of the secretary-general and his closest collaborators," Hammarskjold's term extends to 1963. Any pressure exerted on him in the meantime is in violation of the UN Charter, Article 100 of which reads; "Each member of the United Nations undertakes to respect the excusively ine ternational character of the responsibis lities of the secretary-general and the staff and not to seek to influence them in the discharge of their responsibilities," , The Communists, of course, have fever let a small «thing like an inters \ national agreement stand in the way of what they consider their interests, Exciting Possibilities There are details still to be straight- ened out, but the selection of Oshawa as the site for the "International Mer- chandising and Trade Mart cannot help but excite the imagination, Na- tional Proprietary Corporation's Harbor Warehousing project is the first of its kind on this continent, Its success would have a far-reaching effect not only on Oshawa but on the whole region, The plans are ambitious, The brochure pictures a merchandising and trade centre "where the trade and industrial buyers can do all their comparative shopping and purchasing in one place, at one time, under one roof, in com» fort , . , Facilities and accommodation for the use of manufacturer, importer, exporter, agent, broker, jobber, distri. butor, wholesaler and buyer , . , The he Oshawa Time Tb WILSON, Publisher and General Manages ©, GWYN KINSEY, Editor Osh [ines The Osh Ti shed 1871) ond the Whitby Gazelle and Is (established 1863), Is published dally ond statutory halidays excepted), Membe re Dai P ation.

Cause of the split is the question of whe: ther television in this country should stay on the old 405-line system, or change over to the line system which is in vogue mn continental countries - The British Radio Industry Council has come out with the suggestion that British televi sion should stay on its present system, This council represents INSIDE YOU Doctor Answers about 80 per cent of the indus: try in this country.

My mother has fainting spells Mrs, J, R Dear Mrs, R.; Cortisone has many uses but it must be used properly.

In Furope, we cannot compete at present, he: cause we have nod mass produe tion of 625-line receivers, If we changed to #25-line recelvérs, we could open up export markets in Scandinavia, Italy, Spain, Hol land, Portugal, Germany and Greece, We could compete in these markets hecause we would he able to produce our sels more economically," BRITAIN STANDS ALONE The United Kingdom stands almost alone in adhering to the A0i-line system of transmis. gon. In Canada, the United States, Mexico and South Amer. fea, a B2-line system is used, France has an B10-line system, and is also out on is own, Other gountries have all adopt ji ed the #25-line pattern, Mr, Stanley estimates that it would take from four to five years to change all British transmitters over to the 626-line system, During that period, peo- ple could buy switchable sets, and could continue to receive the 405-line picture, When the 625-line transmitters came into operation, an adjustment would he made to the sets so that they could receive the new type of picture, The cost of this adjust ment, he said, would be quite nominal = from 10 to 12 dol. ars, VIEW OPPOSED Mr, Btanley's views are op. posed by the Radio Industry Council, which denies that there is any advantage from an ex» port standpoint in going on te 626 lines, because there are other standards apart from line definition varying from country to country Both sides have placed their views. hefore the Pilkington Committee which is making a comprehensive study of the whole field of radio and tele vision broadeasting, and whose recommendations are likely to settle this vexed question, New Star Shines In Farm Debate By DON O'HEARN TORONTO = The agriculture debate bred a lot of hollering about hogs It also produced a new star in the government ranks As was expected the debate produced a great clamor from CCF Leader Donald MacDon ald, "the farmer from South York," and rural Liberal mem. bers But when the five hours of shouting was over the man who stood out was Hon, W, A, Stew art of Middlesex North = the new. minister without portfolio who eventually is expected to suceeed Agriculture Minister Goodfellow A COMER Mr, Stewart handled a big share of the defence for the government, And he did it in a manner which displayed that in future years he will be a force in the House Still young both in years and in experience in the legislature (he was only elected in 1957) he showed that he can handle him. sel The government used him to show, as a practical farmer that farmers generally support its approach to marketing And he was able to produce strong evidence af this IN FORM Pleasing to veterans here was the sight (and sound) of Liberal Farquhar Oliver booming out one of his old-time eriticisms of the government, When Mr, Oliver feels like making a speech he can make a terrific one. The trouble is that not toe of ten is he in the mood, But get him on agriculture and he usually is, And this time he made a real old-time blaster, HELD BACK He also made a_good point, This was that more should be done hy the government in marketing of farm products except that as he expressed it the government had .heen lazy in this field He was making a political speech and was partly right and partly wrong , , , most political speeches have this quality, Hut it undoubtedly is doing a public service to emphasize and even over-emphasize the need for government help in market: ing The government's official stand was that until recently there was not much sense in trying to do much about the overseas market, But also it is commen knowl edge that the agrieulture depart ment has not been able to get all the money it has felt it needs for marketing And inasmuch as My.
