Fhe Osho Times published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King st, E., Oshows, Ont, Pope 6 Wednesdoy, Februery 8, 1961 Program Of Land Use Vital To Federal Act The federal government's Agricultural Rehabilitation end Development Act could be a far-reaching piece of legisls ton, in thet it provides tools for the reshaping of Canada's face. Its effec tiveness will depend largely on the mergy, imagination end co-operation of the provincial governments -- and it is ot this point, probably, thet the progrem will run into difficulties The Act authorizes the federal gov. ernment to enter into agreements with provincial governments or their agencies for the undertaking jointly of three types of operations: Projects for the alternative uses of land classed ss mar- ginal or of low productivity; projects for the development of income and em ployment opportunities for rural agri- cultural aress; projects for the develop: ment and conservation of the water and soil resources of Canada, It could, in other words, lead to a coherent con servation program for the nation, some thing that has been badly needed; in- deed, administration of the act could be the job of one department, a depart. ment of conservation, which eould absorb the new department of forestry. If offers longrange but not imme. diate help to farmers who have been trying to wrest a living from soil that should not be farmed in the orthodox way, or should not be farmed at all But for it to be effective, the provinges must have their own coherent plans for land use. Let us take Ontario es an example In last year's report to the provineial government by the Conservation Council of Ontario, this point was made: "We have in Ontario 33 million acres of land south of the Precambrian Shield, About 20 million acres of this is being farmed but only 12 million acres can be con- sidered good land, We have, then, o large acreage outside the 12 million acres which could be used for non-agri- cultural purposes without damaging significantly our ability to produce good and cheap food in the future" Unfortunately, substantial amounts of the good land are lost each year to housing, industry, highways and other services, Much of the Niagara fruit. land, which cannot be replaced, has already vanished under bricks, concrete and asphalt, Because the good fand borders on areas of greatest urban ex pansion, more is lost from 12 million acres then from the remainder, Clearly then, Ontario needs s plan for land use if the federal Act is to have any coherent purpose ss fer a8 this province is concerned ~ and what is true of Ontario is true of the other provinges. Agriculture Minister Hamilton sey» thet "generally speaking, the objective behind the Nations! Agricultursl Pro- gram is to give agriculture a reasonably fair share of the netionsl income," and thet the Rehabilitation and Develop- ment Act forms a major pert of thet program. That phrase "fair share of the nations! income" is a favorite one, but we still do not know what it means and we doubt if Mr. Hamilton does But there is no doubt that if he resolu tely pursues the sims of the Act, and succeeds in obteining provincial eo operation, the nation could reach a turn. ing point in conservation of its resources of soil and water and the other resources dependent upon them ~~ forests, recre- ation seress and by no means least, human resources Mr, Hamilton seems to understand how closely the Act comes to a full-scale conservation program. He told the House; "Plans are now being completed for the holding of a Resources for Tomorrow Conference in the eity of Montreal in October of 1961, It may well be asked at this time what is the relationship between this resolution snd our general policies and plans on conservation, Actually there is a very close connection, There was a meeting of federal and provincial ministers, who make up the policy sub-committee of the nations! steering committee of this conference in Ottawa . At that time 1 explained to the provincial ministers that everytifing envisaged under his Bill would be in harmony with the proposed purposes of the Resources for Tomorrow Conference, It is my judgment that the Resources for Tomorrow Conference may expand the terms of reference that we have in mind in this Bill, but I seriously doubt that it will suggest any diminution of its purposes" The aim, then, is high. and noble, Now we can only wait to see if the provincial governments take the next logical step, the development of provin. cial land use programs, without which the Rehabilitation Act cannot live up to its purpose Sharing Your Sight Sunday marked the opening of White Cane Week in Oshawa and district, and all across Canada, Sponsored. by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, it is strictly educational and has never been iden. tified with fund raising. White Cane Week came into being in 1946, after someone attending a CNIB council meeting made a casual suggestion that few people knew that the white cane signified blindness, So one week a year has since been set aside to re mind all Canadians that we should give whatever assistance we can to help the blind, Across Canada there are 73 clubs wih 4,500 blind members, During the first few years White Cane Week dealt with the problems of blindness and urged the sighted to assist blind persons on the street.

With White Cane Week under way all citizens are being invited and encouraged to share our sight with the sightless, The Canadian Council suggests that this can be done when you walk with a blind person by describing the store windows, Tell of any business location change, and talk about unusual incis dents that often unfold before your eyes. You can also offer to write letters for your blind neighbors or to read to them. White Cane Week is a wonderful time to make friends and share your sight with a blind person. Other Editor's Views A LONG WAY TO GO Montreal Gazette) Montrealers have much to be proud about in the new terminal building of Montreal International Airport at Dorval, But many are atill a bit distress sed at the very long walks from one part of the terminal to another, This has led one reader of the Gazette to remark that "many who use the new Dorval airport must feel that now indeed we have interminable facilities."

Probably not too much in the long run But a lot of action Is delayed longer than it should he TROUBLE FIRST Not all government employ ees are bureaucrats There are many men of imag inution and force in the public service But It is much easier to be a bureaucrat When you tie things up in red tape you avoid trouble And so In any government service we probably have an over - balance on the buresu cratic side The type of men who will look first at the trouble it will be to do a thing rather than what might be gained from it SAVE MONEY Because of this it will prob ably be a few years longer than it would otherwise be before we have a system for renting sec ondary school books in the prov ince, The need and the advantages of such a system are obvious It would mean savings both for parents and the community at large But the bureaucrats = in this cane the department of educa tion ~ say it wouldn't be feas ible, INSIDE YOU THE. END? Why? Well first of all, of course, it would cost money slways the prime consideration not only of bureaucrats but of the gov ernment in power And secondly and here we have bureaucracy at its full est flower there would be & "distribution'"' problem, The problem of getting the books distributed to the 300,000 secon dary school students in the province, It would probably take a man with a reasonable intelligence and an organizational bent of mind about two hours on a quiet afternoon to figure out a "dis tribution" scheme for renting books, But & bureaucrat when he doesn't want a job to be done can make this relatively simple problem look like trying to work out an securate prediction on the end of the world MOVIE VOTE?
