-- She Oshawa Tomes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T, L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1963----PAGE 6 Water Pipeline Answer To Needs Of Southwest Oshawa and other lakeshore com- munities are fortunate in that they have a huge supply of water right at their doorstep. The limiting factor is. the capacity of the muni- cipal pumping stations, not the availability of supply. Pollution re- presents a serious threat to the quality of the water; but the amount that can be removed is gov- erned only by mechanical considera~ tions, Inland communities, if they are not situated on or near substantial lakes and rivers, must rely on water drawn from the sub-soil, When the amount taken out is greater than the amount restored to the earth by precipitation --- rain and snow -- the water table begins to drop, The wells must go deeper and deeper to extract more and more water as the community grows. Farmers' wells begin to dry, and so do their fields, That is the condition which has been worrying people in Southwest- ern Ontario for many years, par- ticularly in the London and Kit- chener areas, There has been a great increase in the population of those areas since the second world war, an increase spurred by industrial growth, Both people and industry consume water at a great rate -- and for years they have been con- suming it more rapidly than nature has been able to put it back in the earth It has been apparent for a decade that the logical long-term answer for that part of Ontario is a water- grid, a system of pipelines carrying water from Lake Huron or Lake Erie; or both, to the flourishing in- land communities. But municipal bickering, opposition of private suppliers and government. indeci- sion reflected in the Water Resour- ces Commission have combined to delay a project which, while neces- sary, may be delayed for many more years. Dr. Herman Overgaard, chairman of the department of economics and business administration at Water- loo Lutheran University, warned this week that drought threatens the Kitchener-Waterloo area within 1 years unless action is taken im- mediately to develop a system of pipelines from the Great Lakes, He warned that "we can no longer- rely on precipitation to supply ade- quate ground-water to meet our growing needs", and criticized the Water Resources Commission as being "disappointingly narrow and ineffective regarding a long-term solution," He suggested a pipeline could be financed by means "completely in- dependent of the province, sup- ported by the revenue of the sys- tem itself, and self-liquidatory in because "it is clearly un- saddle nature," just and inexpedient to sparsely settled areas with no water problems with the cost of solving such problems for thickly indus- trialized sections." Kitchener is not the only area affected, -however. The Province could at least get the municipalities together to work out plans for the common rood Man's Fundamental Need By REV. JOHN D. OSBORNE Christ Memorial Church ( Anglican) Oshawa. The annual exodus to the country has begun. In this rush to the cot- tage we city dwellers express a deep and fundamental need to return to the world of nature for solace; for some recuperation from a deadening way of life, We need to live, even for such a,short while, in a living world of and birds, of waters and fish. An elemental] part of our nature craves some sense of rela- tionship with this living world, The world of bricks and mortar, of ma- chines and time schedules, fails to encourage such a sense of belonging to the universe and having a part to play in it, Many of us are so im- mersed in the struggie for living that we have no leisure tame %% think; our lives are so full of work and duties that we have time for contemplation, And many too, thinking that. they could not get to know much about the mysteries of existence, even if they tried, itt} ave assume they do not need to trouble their heads about them. Nothing could be further from the truth or more disastrous, Man is not only a physical being, he is a spiritual being; he needs to be spiritually fed to grow in under- tanding and human dignity. Where the spiritual life (that is, thinking upon the purpose of our lives, pray- ér and worship of God) is neglected, man's value of his own personality declines, and, holding himself to be of little value in the scheme of things, he sees all in the same light; as mere cogs in a vast others and complex world There is in life a constant tension between man's physical and his spi- ritual being which urges him to turn to the Author of all life. We are divided amongst ourselves because divided with ourselves we are happiness and 'the happy re- tiénships between men through- out the world depends on the reso- lution of this tension, within if, The Church exists te ful- each fil this basic need of man Killer Of Children single killer jeading What is the biggest of children?

On the con. trary, West Germany's youth endeavors to be especially pol- ite. Sociologists feel that the increased attendance of private etiquette courses by the young- er generation is proof of this Reason for this surprising change, youth experts believe, is that young people now know that they should not judge their elders by their years but by their accomplishments, Further- more, the pay cheque puts the young person on an equal basis with the elder generation. The regained self-reliance of Ger. many's youth has made them aware of the fact that good man. ners lead: to the pasitions their elders now hold and which will someday be their own responsi- bility The development is somewhat remote from the North Ameri- can scene, bu; it's to be hoped the seeds can. drift across to this' continent and find fertile ground TRAVEL IN STYLE SWEETSBURG, Que.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- At last it is offi- cial, There is to be no general election in the United Kingdom this year. Announcement of this was made by lain Macleod, joint leader of the Conserva- tive Party, in a speech made down in Sussex. Thus all speculation that there might be an election in the fall has been dispelled, and the arty followers and workers now where they stand, The only question left is that. of the actual date, and all that can be said about that is that the ita ay must face the elec- tors before the life of the pres- ent parliament ends in October 1964 Mr, Macleod warned his audi- ence in Sussex to disregard the findings of the public polls as to the possible. result of a gen- eral election, These, he said, were forecasts of what might happen if there were a general election now, and he inferred that the situation might be dif- ferent next year HOPES OF TORIES The hopes of the Conserva- tive party for another election success are seen to depend on a number of factors. First, there is the general economic health and prosperity of the country and the unemployment figures at the time of the elec- tion, Carrying more weight even than that would be a successful outcome of the present talks in Moscow on a nuclear test ban, Should these succeed, Mr. Mac- millan's stock, and that of his party, would rise at once, and he will bask in the glory of a great mission at last accom. plished Among the other factors which might influence public opinion is the success of R Butler in securing an amicable agreement at Victoria Falls in Rhodesia for the peaceful dis- solution of the Central African Federation, This "was an ex- tremely difficult task, and the successful outcome justified Mr, Macmillan's "winds of change" speech, when in Africa three years ago. The attainment of Sir Keith Joseph's target of 350,000 new homes a year to bring a home within the reach of every family in the land is another factor which could change the public image of the Tory party, and of course, Har- old Macmillan is given the credit for having. started off the government's housing poli- cies BACKS MACMILLAN It was significant } once rant for the ip, came out flatly in favor of Macmillan remaining in that position. He did it in these flamboyant words "When historians come to write their account of this part of the 2th century, they will give Harold Macmillan a place among Conservative prime min- isters second only to the noble wartime premiership of Winston Churchill." Meanwhile, Mr keeps plugging job of being prime minister, and handling with assurance and aplomb al! opposition. at- tacks in the house of Com- mons, At the same time, his critics within his own party are being disarmed and silenced, and his willingness to meet the recaicitrants of the 1922 com. mittee and discuss the state of the party with them is taken as evidence of his confidene that he can win back their full alleg jance, Certainly there is nothiag in his actions or statements to indicate that he is a prime minister on the way out Mr. Macmillan leaves on Au- ust 6 for a visit to Finland and Sweden, and will return on that Mr. considered an arty leader Macmillan away at his August 14. Then he will go on his usual shooting hdliday on the moors of Yorkshire, During that period he wil have plenty of time to think over his future course, the key to which is un- doubtedly the result of Moscow negotiations on the nuclear test ban and non-aggression pact, for which he is credited with being mainly responsible DEFENCE UNITY The reorganization of the three defence services under the control of a single minister, which Were 'forecast several months ago in this column, is now to become an accomplished fact. A white paper issued by the government gives de.ails of the bold and resolute mea- sures which have been adopted, and for which Peter Thorney- croft, as secretary of state for defence, will be respon- sible. Under the new scheme, the Admiralty, War Office and Air Ministry will disappear as separate entities, Their political heads will be reduced to the status of ministers of state, un- der the secretary of state for defence, Three historic bodies, the Board of Admiralty, the Army Council and the Air Council, will also come to an end, and will be replaced by service boards of management, each presided over by the secretary for de. fence, The chiefs of staff, how- ever, will remain, and will con- tinue to enjoy their traditional privilege of direct access to the prime minister NEW HEADQUARTERS To operate the new set-up, an organization somewhat similiar to that of the American Penta» 'on, and presided over by Mr, Prormeyerott, will be located in the Whitehall Gardens building, the only building on Whiteall with a lawn in front of it, It is only a short distance from 10 Downing street, and at present houses the Air Ministry and the Board of Trade, One interesting sidelight is that the Queen will now become Lord High Admiral, an office at present exercised by the doomed Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, She will be entitled to fly the Lord High Admiral's flag, an anchor in yellow 'against a red back- ground, The last Lord High Ad- miral was the Duke of Clar. ence, later William 4, who re linquished the office in 1828, This is the biggest shakeup Whitehall has experienced for many years, Mr, Thorneycroft has a mania for economy in administration, He once resign. ed as chanceller of the ex. chequer because his cabinet colleagues would not accept his program of economies, So there is speculation as to whether he will resort to the pruning-knife in an effort to reduce the $6 billion a year defence bill, At the moment, there seems to be no reason why the oppo- sition should oppose these changes in principle. There will, of course, doubtless be some quibbles as to detail, but the plan as proposed will go through the necessary legal pro- cesses without much difficulty. And thus will come true the Earl of Mountbatten's dream, that some day Britain would have its armed services united, for the whole scheme is, to a large extent, his brainchild. West Coast Boy Scouts Trade Old Canoe Route VANCOUVER (CP)--The riv- ers flow east across Saskatch ewan. And next month a troop of eight West Coast Boy Scouts will ride their currents from Al. berta to the Manitoba border. They will trace, in reverse, the routes taken more than 150 years ago by Alexander Mac. kenzie, David Thompson and Daniel Harmon "We didn't plan it that way," says Scoutmaster Malcolm Hicklenton of he 2nd West Vancouver Troop, "We mapped out our route and it wasn't until later we realized we would be following a track laid out by the early explorers and fur traders." The boys will jump off Aug 9 from the RCAF station at Cold Lake, Alta "We'll go east on the Water- hen to the Beaver River, north on the Beaver to Lac a la Crosse and north again to the Churchill, Then we'll go south- east on the Churchill to Denare Beach on Amisk Lake, eignt miles west of Flin Flon, Man." FOOD CACHED Each of the five canoes will carry two persons--there will be two leaders along with the eight boys--and supplies to iast them 800 miles. They will, travel through a barren, flat land with few land. marks. They will see an area where thousands of pelicans live And they'll watch for the Indian devil faces painted on the bluffs up stream from treacherous stretches of water They'll take dehydrated foods including beefsteak, lamb chops and chicken; three tents and air-rescue panels to attract planes in case of trouble. Each boy will have his fishing rod and one of the leaders wil carry a small-bore rifle. Every third meal will come from the land or the water. BY-GONE DAYS #@ YEARS AGO F. C.

An Oshawa business man and his wife motored down from To- ronte on Sanday evening. "It will be a surprise to readers to know," it was reported, that be- tween Toronto and Oshawa they met over 1.000 motors and only five horse-drawn vehicles." Three hikers, on their way from New York to Montreal and Quebec, arrived in Oshawa, and proposed spending some days in the town. They were Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Bardwell and Mr. S.

The country was very badly m need of rain and farmers were worried over the situation. Quite a lange number of young' men from Oshawa and district were planning to go West on the harvest excursions. The Danforth Business Men's Association of Toronto held their Park and approximately 200 were in attendance. Another 200 pounds of fooa will be flown ahead and cached at Tle a la Crosse, Sask., to be Picked up on the way through.

The water will be low and fairly easy, to trave} over. We'll have to get around about 125 sections of rapids, one more than a mile long. "As long as they're low, we'll run them, Otherwise, we can portage." The boys are no strangers te the art of carrying the 14-foot canoeing through Wild Wells They spent part of last summer canoeing through ild Wells Grey Park in British Columbia. Dave Prentice, one of the fathers, will help Mr. Hicklen- ton along the way, They hope that from Aug. 9 they'll be along for the ride, with the boys--aged 15° to 17--making the decisions. The boys will decide where to stop, h ow many hours te paddle and how to set up camp "We have found that 99 per cent of the time the boys wil! come up with the right decs ions. "It burns me up to see scout. ing groups where the leader is God almighty and everything centres around him," Mr. Hick. lenton says PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Man is falling behind his rapid machines," says a sociok ogis*.

They see the good on their side and the bad on the other side, Most of us are working for reasons of health, If we couldn't buy food, we wouldn't be healthy.
