Men high in pub- lic life and in industry have bemoaned the fact that the supply of such trained men falls far short of the demand. For instance, it is estimated that 1800 en- gineers graduated from all Canadian universities this spring, and that the stimated demand was for between 2500 and 3000. With this in mind, it is interesting to note that an effort is to be made to re- medy this situation. In September of this year a national conference on sci- entific and engineering manpower is to be held at the Seignory Club in Que- bec. This conference has the blessing of the Dominion Council of Associations of Professional Engineers, and the sup- port of bysiness and industry. Indeed, it is being financed by a grant from a large Canadian industry. The objectives of the conference are given as follows: "To obtain, assess and consider all the facts relative to present and future supply and demand of engineers and technicians. "To ider and r d short and long term action by educational institu- tions, governments, professional engineering societies and business and industry." This is a step in the right direction, and as a result of the studies made at this conference, some plans might be evolved to increase the future supply of engineers so much needed in Canada. Business and industry, as well as gov ernments and educational institutions, have a responsibility in this connection. It is encouraging to find that responsi- bility being accepted. Scrapped Vehicles Make Market the Canadian market for new autom one of the highly im- portant is the rate at which and trucks are being y use and scrapped. The utomobile Chamber of Com- merce, in a recent report, asserts that illion cars and trucks have In assessin old autom nearly one m been taken out of use in Canada since 1945. Vehicles of pre-war vintage are, therefore, rapidly disappearing from the highways of Canada. Since the end of world war two, the report shows, 784,000 passenger cars and 212,000 commercial vehicles have been withdrawn from service. During the war years, relatively few vehicles for civilian use were produced in Cana- da. Canadians had to make their cars - and trucks last, not only until the war endf'sbut also until supply began to catch up demand; In 1946, for in- stance, only 6800 vericles went to the scrap heap. The number increaded, ra- pidly each year as more cars and trucks became available. In 1955, the estimates show, 152,100 cars and 16 trucks were taken out of service. This means that some 37 per cent of all new cars and trucks produced in Canada last year were needed to replace vehicles that had been scrapped. These are facts which are of great importance to Oshawa, which has a large stake in the Canadian automotive industry. It means that to replace worn out and scrapped vehicles alone re- quires a very substantial prdouction of new vehicles, without taking into ac- count the ever-growing market created by those buying their first car, and those increasing their fleets of cars and trucks, or investing in a second car for the family. Perhaps this is one of the factors which impels automobile manu- facturers to take an optimistic view of the futmre requirements of the Canad- ian market for motor vehicles. Hog Market Scheme Supported One of the criticisms which have been levelled at the Ontario Hog Pro- a ti Sch is that it is being forced upon farmers against their will. There have been those who have challenged the validity of the scheme on the ground that it has not been favored by a majority of those engaged in the business of producing hogs. That argument, it would appear, no longer holds water. An interim report on a province - wide vote being taken to ascertain the views of the producers shows that more than nine out of 10 are in favor of the scheme. The report was based on returns from 17 counties in the province, and showed that as a result of the campaign, 91.2 per cent of the producers favor the marketing program of the Ontario Hog Producers' Marketing Board. They have, to that extent, shown their approval by sign- ing membership cards and contracts.

There still are many counties to report, but these returns from 17 coun- ties represent the views of a consider- able cross-section of the farming popu- lation of the province interested in hog production. From this, it would appear that the hog marketing scheme has more than sufficient support from those vitally concerned to make it a valid marketing project. Usually, if 75. per cent of the producers are in favor of any marketing scheme, that is considered sufficient to justify putting the scheme into effect, The fact that the hog scheme has the support of over 90 per cent of those engaged in the business should therefore quiet many of the cri- ticisms that have been made against it on the ground that it did not have pub- lic backing from the producers.

Conservative Charges Retuted By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette OTTAWA--I recently referred in this column to a charge that I am a biased supporter of the Tory party. That accusation was made in Parliament by Joseph Habel, Liberal MP for Cochrane. In vivid contrast, the Conservat- ive Clarion, published by the Brit- ish Columbia Tory association, now accuses me of being a gul- lible supporter of the Liberal party. "It is evident," says The Clar- ion, that someone is using Nich- olson as a patsy or stooge in order to give out propaganda meant to damage the Conservatives. Li'l Patrick gives a picture of himself getting a looksee at what are pur- ported to be some top secret Lib- eral documents that are supposed to show the politicial trend in Can- ada. This particular one shows the dying on the vine, the Liberals as strong and powerful, the Socreds expanding." The Clarion will be embarrassed to learn that the docament, which ft minimises as "highly myth- ical", was in fact authenticated by George Hees, former Tory party head. He told me that it was partly conceived and largely writ- ten by Senator Power. As if I didn't already know. Chubby Power is a prominent Liberal strategist, ex . cabinet: minister, and dean of the parliamentary Liberals. This column reported the document as what it is: a Lib- eral assessment of where the Lib- eral party stands today. WONDER-BOY OVERLOOKED Then comes this naive admis- slon by The Clarion: "Li'l Patrick seems to have for- gotten that the only reason there is a political party in B.C. carry- ing on under the name of Social Credit is simply because the premier could not win the lead- ership of the B.C, Conservative party." hi Some party, the Tory group! Even its reject can instantly or- ganise a new party capable of de- cimating, ridiculing and routing it The Clarion ends its rant against me with the real clue: "Nicholson bases his writings upon hate and emotion, for he does not like the Hon. George Drew. Because of thas, his whole vision is colored and distorted." It is not my job to like or dis- like Drew, As a writer, it is my task to report Drew as I see him Or, in this case, to report Drew as the Liberal party strategists see him: "An asset to the Liberal party." Commenting on The Clarion's indignant claim that I do not like Drew, an ex-Tory leader in P.C. writes to me: "That is your I crime. Can you remember Flinlayson's expulsion?" Deane Finlayson, provincial Tory leader in B.C., was thrown out, of last year's meeting of the Tory national execufive, because he expressed the belief of B.C. Tories that Drew is inadequate as party leader, and should be re- placed. The real message which The Clarion clarifies in ifs attack on this column is that the B.C. Torles are intolerant and bigoted. If a commentator such as myself agrees with their views, he is "'courageous and far-sighted." But if he reports critically of them, he is "a stooge, a patsy and a dis- reputable distorter of the facts." THE WORMS TURNED Proving this, my correspond- ence files yield revealing letters from Finlayson and his officials and other B.C. Tories. These con- trast vividly with The Clarion's comments upon me, written by some of the same people. "It was good of you to write the very fair article in the papers. There has been a good deal of comment upon it, particularly among our friends in B.C. who feel that you drew attention to the principles involved. Please accept my personal thanks and apprecia- tion. Yours sincerely, Deane Fin- layson. May 27, 1955." The 'very fair article" refer- Fed to the above-mentioned expul- sion. Similar letters have eome from Fred Waterhouse, B.C. organizer for the Tories; from George Pear- kes and Davie Fulton, Tory MPs from B.C.,, and others. This contrast shows the confused thinking which has reduced the Tory party in B.C., as one corres- ondent comments to me, to the ong road down to political obliv- fon. The contrast also points the moral about people in glass houses throwing stones; for it is the Tor- ies who have been loudly--and I believe rightly -- deploring the many current attempts to black- mail the press into silence or sub- servience. My sincere thanks to the many well-wishers of this column in B.C. who have sent me copies or ex- tracts of The Clarion, with their own pointed comments.

Dozing, however, even if only for a few minutes, is better than simply sitting down. And don't get the notion that napping is kid stuff. After all, even our early plo- neers realized the value of a little rest at an appropriate time. They generally halted their long west- ward journeys along about noon to rest both their oxen and them- selves. QUESTION AND ANSWER T.
