REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT Federal Loans Help In Pollution Battle By MICHAEL STARR, MP Minister of Labor A great deal more attention is now being paid to pollution of water resources. It is a situa- tion which has been with us for Many years but has now assumed 'the proportions of a near crisis in North America. President Kennedy has calied Pollution of water resources in the United States "'a national disgrace". The discharge of industrial waste, bacterial pollution, sew- age, these are all conditions which, during the years, have gradually turned our Canadian and American waterways. into germ and disease-infested car-|, riers of pollttion. The pollution of water re. sources has been blamed in some quarters for the transmit- tal of such contagious diseases as infectious hepatitis and polio- myelitis in recent years. A report in the Toronto Globe and Mail said recently that water pollution "can endanger health, spoil recreation, lower| property values, affect drinking} water, cause offensive odors| and even wipe out commercial! fishing". | POSITIVE ACTION | Tt is curious that, although| this is a situation which has! been growing in its menace for} some 50 years, no positive ac-| tion was taken on the federal scene until the introduction some two years ago of the anti-/ 196 pollution program of the present! federal government. ' This program aims at strik- ing at pollution where it must be met, that is, on the municipal level. The program proceeds through the allocation of federal loans for the construction of sewage disposal plants along the. banks of major waterways. Last week, in the House of Commons, tlhe Minister of Pub- lic Works reported to Parlia- ment on the progress of the program to date. He announced that the fed- eral government had extended the cutoff date for the forgive- ness of a portion of federal loans to, municipalities under the National Housing Act for the construction of sewage treat- ment projects. ACT AMENDED The National Housing Act was amended in December, 1960, to enable Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation to make long-term low interest loans to assist municipalities in fi- nancing the cost of these proj- ects. The loan is up two-thirds of the cost and as a special in- centive the government is au- thorized to forgive payment of 25 per cent of the amount of the loan committed and 25 per cent of the interest paid or accrued due thereon in respect of all work completed up to March 31, It will be recalled that this is the same cutoff date as for the Vocational Training School building program, The Minister of Public Works explained that the purpose of the legislation was to launch a program constituting the first real, co-ordinated attack on the three problems of conservation of water, prevention of pollution Kennedy Signs Incorrect Bill On Subpoenas WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pres- ident Kennedy has signed into law a bill that was not the cor- rect version of a bill that passed Congress. When it was placed before him for his signature, Oct. 23, the bill was attested to by the Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives and the president of the Senate as being a pro- perly enrolled copy of the bill d by the h and assistance to icipalities in providing services essential to the maintenance and expan- sion of municipal growth, The minister went.on to say that between December, 1960, and October 19, 1962, some 335 loans were approved to 273 mu- nicipalities, "in which one-third of ey population of Canada lives'. of $79.5. millions. The minister pointed out that a number of provinces had ap- parently not been organized in order that their municipalities might take advantage of the joans offered and that these | province were now moving to ido so and that was why the s being extended. jeutoff date wa: | OFFICIALS WANTED GILLETT, Ark. (AP) -- This town of 690 has a municipal dilemma. No one ran for city loffices in Tuesday's U.S. elec- \tion and it will have no city officials when present terms ex- pire in January. Officials say pire. The loans amounted to a total! Pp gress. But it wasn't. The bill establishes a couri of general sessions in the District of Columbia. As originally drafted, it provided that this court should have subpoena thus 'reaching into sizable areas of Maryland and Virginia. |BILL AMENDED Senator A. Willis Robertson, Virgihia Democrat, put through an amendment in the Senate limiting the power to a radius of 25 miles.

In Hamilton the civic remem- brance service will be held at 11 a.m., the same time as most regular church services, and the Hamilton Council of Churches refused to support the civic service. J. J. Dowd, one of the civic service organizers, said: 'The council feels that the civic service conflicts with church services, and the vet- erans feel that the service has to be held at the llth hour of the llth day in order to mean something." Member churches of the council plan to hold remem- brance services at their reguiar Sunday services. Civic service organizers obtained two minis- ters by appealing directly to them, CHANGE PARADE TIME In Ottawa, timing of a parade of about 1,100 servicemen, vet- erans and cadets was changed from the usual 11'a.m. to 2;30 p.m., so it would not. conflict with Sunday church services.

Prosecutor Leon Cappuyns told a 2-man jury the family and the doctor never gave the baby, Carinne Vandeput, a chance at life. "Except for her very grave malformations, that baby was fit to live," he said. "Th da. of: thatid mothers have their eyes riveted on: your verdict. "You must bring in a verdict of guilty because you musi. af- firm that the principle of re- spect for life is sacred. The ac- cused did not commit euthana- sia (mercy killing).

Dr. Casters, the prosecutor said, gave barbiturates to the grandmother at the latter's re- quest. "He did not consult with other doctors," Cappuyns said. "He did not consult the chiid's mother." Mrs. Vandeput is accused of putting the drugs into the baby's formula. Defence lawyer Jean Derwael described how the mother for fivé days was kept ignorant of the fact that her daughter was armless and had deformed feet, Derwael told the court pres- ents for the baby arrived before the mother was told "there was a little something wrong." "What must have been her Calvary when she did not know what she was going to see?" he asked. BROKE THE PEACE ST.
