Net Paid Circulation Aver ® Tet June Q , 4 8 FO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1046 Nature's Wealth IsOur Trust An excellently printed report on "Conservation in Eastern Ontario," published by the Department of Planning and Development, Queen's Park, Toronto, has recently been made available for the public. It illustrates a further step in the slow process of enlightening public opinion. The term "slow process" is used advisedly, for the conservation of natural resources has been a live topic for many years. Many columns of editorial comment have been expressed in this and other newspapers, particularly of sub- urban and rural areas. Yet, forest wastage, denuded lands and resultant soil erosion, cohtinues as visible condemnation of the misapplied energy of man, Research in Conservation--long a function of the De- partment of Lands and Forests--received added impetus in 1941, by the establishment of the Dominion Advisory. Committee on Reconstruction. One of the yearly results was a report in 1944 by the Chief Conservation Engineer of Ontario, Mr, A. H. Richardson, following a comprehensive survey of the Ganaraska watershed. Bounded in-area by a triangle roughly circumscribing Port Hope, Kendal and Rice Lake, it is worthy of note by reason of the completeness of its content. It dealt in detail with re-forestation, flood control, highway planting, wildlife, etc. Recommendations were also made pertaining to necessary legislation, consequent employ- ment and continuation of research, In the section devoted to employment after the war was over, estimates were given of costs in terms of man-hours and money, It is perhaps not unreasonable to think that there has been ample time since 1944 for study of the merits of the report by legislative and other interested bodies. The report mentioned in the opening paragraph of this article deals with a representative conference at Queen's University following the survey of another area of Eastern Ontario, in the vicinity of Belleville. A considerable amount of valuable information is included, with excellent illustra- tions of the technique of contour farming as developed in difficult sections of the United States. Both reports are well prepared with splendid maps, tables and illustrations. Indeed, they should be made available in any library in the Province, for consultation by interested citizens. Each year the natural productivity of many thousands of acres of this wonderful province is diminishing, simply through lack of knowledge and misdirected energy. Under present conditions, unless far-reaching measures of conser- vation are applied conditions will get progressively worse. The studies above referred to indicate clearly that information is at hand and methods available whereby nature can be helped and made even more productive. The quiet and methodical persistence of the Minister of Planning and Development, (The Hon. Daas Porter) fortunately gives room for hope that practical action will soon become evident on the basis of effective studies already made. Conferences, reports and slogans have their place, but henceforth each year should be highlighted by practical progress in the guardianship of a great trust--our natural wealth, en Canada's Trade Opportunities Canada is regarded as the number one country of the world from a goodwill point of view 'by the countries of Europe, according to Thomas Bata, president of the Bata Shoe Company of Canada who addressed Trenton Rotary Club on Monday evening. Having travelled extensively in Europe during and after the war, Mr. Bata knows whereof he speaks. His message, then, based on personal observa- tions, is that if Canada can deliver the goods without placing too much emphasis on the price factor, and can send out ambassadors of goodwill in traders of merit, she will be in an enviable position to create fine export markets. He be- lieves that good export markets are the surest guarantee of full employment in Canada. More important still, he thinks that Canada should use this favorable time to establish these overseas markets and send over only goods of the highest quality. Mr. Bata is satisfied that Canada can produce almost everything the people of the European nations are in need of and believes that if this great opportunity is lost it will be hard to retrieve. A warning that Europe has its eye on Canada, and that the Communist press is playing up strikes and unrest so apparent here, was given by Mr. Bata, who added that some of his people had received letters from their native country asking if they could send food parcels over here. At a time when there is such a great demand for goods of all kinds from Canada, Mr. Bata as head of a great industrial organi- zation, is hopeful that nothing will jeopardize the chances of supplying this demand which he feels will guarantee full dinner pails and prosperity to be generally shared through- out the Dominion, . o Other Editors 18 THERE NO LIMIT (Edmonton Journal) We're still waiting for an expla- nation of the 200-dozen shortage in silverware at the mentary res- taurant, Wasn't that tax-free $2,000 enough for our MPs?

The law of diminishing re- turns has set in on our size and we must combat it, as the human body combats a disease of old age, COURT JUSTICE FOR MASSES (Guelph Mercury) The police court over which the magistrate presides is the place where more cases are tried than in all other combined; it is really the court of justice for the mass of the people, and the presiding magls- trate comes to close grips with many situations that call not only for knowledge of law, but a great meas- ure of common sense and decision, It calls for just as fine qualities of mind and carefulness of delibera- tion as are expected of those who occupy higher places in the judical system of the country, RESULT OF TOO MUCH MONEY. (New York Times) i in those areas of the econ- omy where the combined impact of reconversion and strikes has con- tinued to hold supplies and inven- tories abnormally low, total supplies are either equal to or above the pre-war totals, Despite these larg- er supplies the appearance of short- age continues to prevail because of the large demand which has de- veloped as a result of the pouring out by the Government of borrows ed money. In other words, many of these "shortages" reflect the pro- duction of too much money rather than a decline in the production of OUR GOLD OUTPUT (Northern Miner) There is no room for pessimism in the longer view of gold. This paper used to talk of $500 millions a year Canadian gold out- put. By reason of understandable post-war happenings, aided by of- ficial decrees that go beyond under- standing, the production is current. ly a fifth of that. But one can im- agine the expansion in existing mines, the revival of closed-down mines, the creation of new mines, that would occur should the price of gold be increased to levels approp- riate to the decline in the real worth of the dollar, The $500 mil- lions a year would be sure--if the government restrained tax-destruge tive propensities. ® Readers' Views COLOR SCHEME Editor Times-Gazette, Dear Sir:--Anent a question by a reader in your Thursday's issue as to what I think of the reference made to me in a recent Financial Post article, Those who know the Financial Post is the organ of Big Business will reach their own con- clusions, © I am not surprised that the Fin- post published such an article, I am, however, surprised that it should be written by Ron Williams the son of our erstwhile member of the Ontario Legislature, Ron says I give a reddish tinge to the steel unions in this district.

They are situated near earthquake belts on land, or follow these belts where they extend into the sea, Volcanic islands or mainland mountains often rise near ocean deeps, causing great local varin- tions in the earth's crust. Mil- waukee Depth falls 30,246 feet be- low the surface, while' on nearby Hispaniola, the rocky island on which Haiti and the Dominican republics are situated, mountains 1ise to 8,790 feet. Besides Milwaukee Depth (nam- ed for vessel from which sound- ings were made), the Atlantic's other low spots include Nares Deep, 22,940 feet, southeast of Bermuda; Bartlett Deep, 22,788 feet, between Cuba and Honduras, and Monaco Deep, 20, feet, northwest of the Canary Islands. In addition to deeps, the Atlan- tic has four huge basifis, These ex- tensive low areas are separated by the Mid-Atlantic Rise, one of the longest mountain ranges in the world, Modern knowledge of this ridge in the Atlantic helps keep alive the legend of the "lost Atlantis," which Plato describes as a popu- lous mid-Atlantic continent that sank beneath the waves 12,000 years ago. The ridges once may have been above water, but most geolo- gists doubt that it sank within rece orded time, Most information on the depths of the oceans comes from sounds ings made from ships. The hull is struck a solid blow, and fathomet- ers record the exact time it takes for the sound to. travel to the ocean floor and its echo to come back to the ship. A mathematical calcula- tion does the rest. There is still much that is un- known about the ups and downs of the ocean floor. Off steamer routes ih the open sea, only about one sounding has been made in every 100 square miles. Topographic knowledge of the United States would be just as sketchy if it were limited to one elevation reading picked at random in each county, The Pacific has the deepest known depression in the earth's surface; Mindanao Deep, off the Philippines, is 356,400 feet deep. It would take two and one-half Pikes Peaks to fil] the hole. Other Pacif- ic deeps lie along the Guam-Japan earthquake belt, and along the "shaky" coast of South America. In the Indian Ocean, off the vol- canic island of Java, Wharton Deep reaches 22,068 feet, ® 25 Years Ago The Oshawa Rotary Club pre- sented a handsome, tapestry up- holstered, rocking chair to D. M.

Whether through lack of ability or neglect, the Government bas failed to see that homes are pro- vided for the people of the land. Realizing the stupendousness of the task which Attlee and his Govern- ment face in making homes avail- able for the people of the bombed out areas, one can not ignore the fact that it is a "must." People must have a place to live, War Vet- erans, who risked thelr lives in the war, can not be expected to sit idly by while their wives and children ere without shelter. To add to the injury the insult of allowing great mansions, previously commandeered for wartime purposes, stand idle is but to ask for just what eventually happened. Nothing can hit a man more severely than to see his chil- og deprived of the necessities of e, Unrest Gives Communists A Chance (Owen Sound Sun-Times) Naturally the Communists take advantage of the situation, That is how they have spread their ideo- logy throughout the world, taking advantage of just such unfortunate instances to preach their Utopian gospel which has always failed in its promises. It is up to the exist ing forces of government to see that such unities are not. provided, Drastic humanitdrian actions were taken during the war years to over- come the many crises which arose, The problems which are faced now, while not so direcily menacing, are of equal importance. While there are many differences in the situation in Canada to that in Great Britain, nevertheless there is much simillarity in the import- ance of having them dealt with promptly. Strikes have been allowed to paralyze great portions of our ine dustries, No small amount of actual suffering has resulted already with every ibility of more serious re- sults later, Great numbers of our citizens face winter without assur- ance of a roof to cover their heads, Thousands of houses throughout the country stand half finished for lack of materials, The owners of these houses face the prospect of carrying the expenses of thelr homes throughout the winter the same time having to pay on their present homes, if they fortunate enough to have such, There is much truth in saying that what does not advance Oras x] present inactivity. awa, Uj sh ment circles it has frequently peared that prompt action by th powers-that-be could have averte long drawn out tieups, Just as in the war years, bold, wise, but feare less action is urgently needed among our leaders. e A Bible Thought "Next to the family, the Sabbaths, is the first institution of God on earth, It is founded and rooted in the physical necessities of humamg nature."--Philip Schaff, "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hale lowed it."
