Quite rightly, the commission will conduct its business in camkra. It's report will not be made public. On completion of the work of the commission, the government of the day will make whatever announce- ment it considers prudent.

It is essential to our system that every citizen be treated fairly and at the same time the safety of the country as a whole be maintained, Old Days? the earlier year only 47.6 per cent of all households had gas or electric refrigeration, compared to 80.2 per cent today, Back in 1951 there weren't enough television sets in the coun- try to bother counting them in the survey, whereas today 93.9 house- holds are TV equipped. Also in the transportation and communications field, in 1951 only 60.8 per cent of households had telephones compar- ed to 90.4 per cent today; this year, 76.1 per cent of households are equipped with automobiles, but only 48 per cent had cars in 1961. The affluency of the country in general is further highlighted in the list of items omitted earlier but now in common usage. In' 1966, 14.1 per cent of all households have two or more automobiles, 89 per cent have powered lawnmowers, 9 per cent have outboard motors, 61.2 per cent have record players, 54.2 per cent have electrical floor polish- ers, 24.1 per cent have home freez- ers, and 80.1 per cent have gas or electric clothes dryers, Other Editors' Views THEY NEED TO (St. Catharines Standard) Special clinics in France where people can learn to relax have taxi drivers compromising the majority of the patients.

THE SECOND MARSH Mr, Editor: In a recent brief to the Metro- litan Toronto and Region Fransportation Study, prepared by the Oshawa Industrial Com- mission, it was noted that cur- rent traffic handled by the Port of Oshawa is_ related basically to local needs which include bulk oil and coal, crushed stone, and the export of cars. In the last few years port traffic has increased, but not to an excessive volume, Some industries in the eastern section of the Metropolitan Tor- onto Region have indicated in- terest in Oshawa's harbor, however certain obstacles were cited --- especially highway transportation rates for trans- shipment, Highway transportation rates from the port of. Oshawa were not competitive with Metro- politan Toronto ports, which could even serve destinations geographically closer to Osh- awa at less expense, Unless the Port of Oshawa can overcome such basic economic liabilities {¢ will net expand at a rate which' would warrant the cur- rent proposal to extend the harbor facilities, In any case, a thriving port must have more than a harbor and facilities to handle goods. It must serve a "hinterland" which induces trade through the port due to the production of goods and-or the consumption of goods. If Oshawa's hinter- land is better served at less expense by the Metropolitan Toronto ports, Oshawa will not develop as a port -- regardless of its harbor facilities, The building of a harbor on the St. Lawrence Seaway route does not, in itself, guarantee the use of the port -- the trade incen- tive must be present. The port function of Oshawa should be thoroughly studied to determine if the harbor ex- pansion is warranted; the total benefits and costs, in terms of economics and the public good, must be considered, Of great importance to the eople of Oshawa, if the har- or is expanded as proposed, will be the destruction of the Second Marsh -- almost the last significant large marsh on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The existence of this marsh within the City of Oshawa can, and should, be a great asset to recreation and waterfowl con- servation, The marsh's destruc- tion will only add to Oshawa's image as a "factory town" de- void of interest in the quality of its environment and way of life. But, Oshawa need not lose this unique marsh. Hamilton (another great industrial city) has preserved the magnificent Coote's Paradise Marsh and adjacent otanical gardens. Oshawa' parks department should provide a complete range of recreational facilities-- including natural areas such as the Second Marsh -- to sup- plement the many activity- oriented sports parks now main- tained. Can Oshawa afford to destroy the quality of its environment by the implementation of an ex- pensive harbor expansion pro- gram which has not even been adequately justified on purely economic grounds? I think not. As an Oshawa-born citizen, I challenge all the people of our city (and especially the Citl- zens' Committee which claims it opposes the needless destruc- tion of all Oshawa's natural BIBLE He leadeth them out--He goeth before them.--John 10:3-4.

I have purchased in the past year short rib roasts and find on unwrapping them that the ribs are sewn on with etring. They did not grow there! (Advt. also blade roasts carefully cut and blade bone removed) which I believe were from the neck == how hea haw as they had back benes of vertebrae bones in them, I went to a local super- market recently to buy a short rib roast and was shown a plece of meat with vertebrae bones in and no sign of ribs, but the man at the counter said it was a rib roast. I told him it was from the neck but he wouldn't let me handle it so I didn't buy it, I am sure that most of the women buying meat don't know what part of the animal their roasts come from and again perhaps the men at the counter don't know either, Can anyone tell me how I can find out about government inspection of meat in the stores or if there is such a thing done, Sincerely H.

Ry GWYN TORONTO (Special) -- A SINSEY should act be permitted to de- stroy unique biological and geo- logical sites. They business, adjustment are not alone in the however, and some of shares will be And, it does creep in. seems, competition A> municipally- township councillor asked the Ontario Legislature's select committee on conservation au- thorities, rather plaintively, "What has recreation got to do with conservation?" He complained that his town- ship had to contribute to the cost of conservation areas used, free of charge, not so much by the local people as by resi- dents of Metro Toronto. His question was echoed a short time later by a mem- ber of the committee, who ask- ed a spokesman for the Parks Integration Board: "Do you think conservation authorities should be in recreation as deeply as they are" THEORY ACCEPTED Most of the committee members, however, seem to accept the place of recreation in the program of the authori- ties, on the theory that land and water are important for leisure as well as other use. Scenic sites are meant to be looked at. A dam can mean fishing and swimming as: well as water storage. Thus, in a broad sense, ree- reation is conservation. But there is a big exception. Con- servation also means preser- vation, as the Ontario natural ists told the committee, and recreational use of an area Conservation authorities were set up originally to deal pri- marily with flood contro] and reforestation problems. But the early watershed reports recog- nized the recreation as a re- source use, Now the term "con- servation area' has come to mean an area where conservasr tion objectives can. be com> bined with recreational use, BACKED BY PLANNERS Most community planners ap- plaud the conservation + recrea- tion combination and urge that it be greatly extended, Prof. Norman Pearson of the University of Waterloo sees an immediate need for 75,000 more acres of parkland and a future need for 100,000 additional acres in Southern Ontario alone. Prof. John Farina of the Uni- versity of -Toronto. says that recreation should be given "the first class status accorded the other aspects of conservation work," He argues that the de- mand for recreation, space and intelligent programming of its year-round use will increase drastically and that conserva- tion authorities are the agen- cies best prepared to meet those demands The orities are in the park business. And it appears probable that their interest will expand rather than shrink. necessary. FOUR AGENCIES There are four public agen- tcies concerned with parks: De- partment of Lands and Forests, provincial park commissions (St, Lawrence and Niagara), municipalities and conservation authorities. The province pays for or contributes to all four, The theory of it all is excel lent. Each agency has its own type of contribution to make. Municipal parks are designed for local. use. Conservation areas protect natural resources and provide recréation close to the communities they serve. The commissions develop and manage large-scale projects, And the Lands and Forests de- partment provides large parks to serve the whole province. To co-ordinate the business, there is the Parks Integration Board, made up cf ministers and aides whose departments are involved. It is a sort of referee, seeking to prevent competition between agencies. It does not originate, does not approve expenditures che Treasury Board does that), and has to depend on the reports of departmental field men -- who are too few in number and frequently have a numbing number of reports to think about. developed park in Northeastern Ontario, for example, has been drawing business away from a nearby Lands and Forests park. The brief of conservation authority chairmen recom: mends that "the province establish a technical committee composed of representatives of the various park and recrea- tional agencies, including con+ servation authorities, to advise the Ontario Parks Integration Board." Some of the individual thority spokesmen are more outspoken, indicating fears of growing competition, particu. larly with the Department of Lands and Forests. Others suggest that recrea- tion places an additional heavy burden on the authority and the province should recognize, by way of a revised grant system, the fact that conservation areas may be much used by people from other regions, There are hitches, then, in the practical application of the theory of an integrated, four: pronged attack on the parks problem. And if the select committee recommends that the Yresponsi- bility of the authorities in this . area be enlarged, it must also indicate . how and. where the enlargement should be made-- in other words, at whose ex- pense. aus Frencr NATIONALICOM SLIGHTLY RETOUCHED and Reerorep ty fpelier ae pa Se Rie «esas FROM GALLERY OF EUROPEAN MASTERPIECES TO CANADA'S STORY ate svt a QUEEN'S PARK Dairies Ask Retail Milk Price Floor By DON 0"HEARN Distributors, Associstions waver utors a ing most of the dairies in province, has officially re- quested that a minimum retail peace should be put on fluid That is the dairies are as that no store, or dairy, woul be able to sell a quart of milk under a price set by the gov- ernment, ' This 'action, of course, 1s aimed at the jug milk stores, which have been sharply under- cutting regular dairies with their three-quart containers, and to a certain extent at the super- markets, There is minimum price leg- islation now in Quebec, and modified forms in some other provinces.

He submitted his resignation Nov. 24, 1838, but stayed on the job until his successor arrived. He showed devotion to duty because he knew that rebellion was likely to break out, As a veteran of the Battle of Waterloo he was not one to avoid danger. In fact he sent most of his trained troops to Montreal where the situation was worse, and kept only a few men to deal with the rabble army being organized by W. L, Mackenzie. The battle of Yonge St. took place Dec. 5, and Mackenzie had to escape to the United States three days later, There is a story that. Sir Francis Bond Head was made lieutenant - governor of Upper Canada by mistake. The ap- pointment was supposed to go to Sir Edmund Head, who be- came governor of Canada later. The messenger went to the wrong home and arrived late at night. Sir Francis Bond Head, who was commissioner of the poor law for Kent, was aston- ished to be asked if he would accept the post of lieutenant- governor of Upper Canada, Co- lonial - Secretary Glenelg was also astonished the next day when Sir Francis arrived in his office to accept it! Nevertheless Glenelg allowed the appointment to go through and evidently got the type of man he wanted. Sir Frances not only opposed the reformers in the government, but called an election in which he appealed to the people "Are you for me or for the House of Assembly." The people voted for him. Then Head reported to the British government: 'The peo- ple of Canada detest democracy, and upon their loyalty His Maj- esty may depend as on a rock."

Four major rivers--the Arno, the Adige, the Tagliamento and the Po--were pushed over thei banks by heavy rains and, witt. phenomenally high tides from the Adriatic Sea and overflows from scores of streams, inun- aated a third of the country. The disasterswept and swirled through cenjral and north Italy from the Dolomite Alps north of Venice to the southern edge of Tuscany south of Florence. Florence and Venice, unique in their own ways.and among the brightest jewels in the dia- dem of Italian cities, were badly damaged. More than 100 persons are known to have perished; the final toll may reach 300. One of the country's richest agricultural heartlands was dev- astated. Industries and cum- merce in the disaster area were stopped. Irreplaceable art works were damaged, as were some of the greatest architectural splendors of Western civilization. HOMES DESTROYED Tens of thousands of persons were ieii nomeiess, The Italian economy, just emerging from its recession of two years ago, suffered a major setback. It was a disaster without precedent in modern Italy and even now the full extent of the catastrophe is not yet clear. Floods are a tragic part of everyday Italian life, Water engineers have long Warned that drastic measures must be taken to check conditions mak- ing the floods increasingly worse. Nearly 75 per cent of Italy is made up of mountains prac- tically denuded of trees and vegetation. The mountains pre- cipitate rainstorms and there is little on the hillsides to keep the water from rushing into the valleys. In the early hours of Nov. 4 the rush of water had risen to dangerous proportions after 48 hours of unrelenting rain. Rivers were rising--but no one ex- pected that the usual autumn flooding would turn into a na- tional disaster. CITY UNPREPARED Thus no one in Florence had taken any flood precautions when the Arno broke over its banks in the pre-dawn hours, inundated dozens of communi- ties and swept into the historie heart of the Renaissance city of art and .science. In Venice, wind-whipped tides, fed by swollen rivers pouring into the northern Adriatic, buiit up six feet high and covered Venice and nearby islands in the lagoon. In the Dolomite Alps above Venice, the floods touched off landslides and avalanches not far from the area where a mountain landslide fell into a reservoir in October, 1963, and caused an overflow of water that took 1,800 lives. Dozens of mountain communi- ties were isolated. Moving masses of mud piled up around buildings in at least six villages in the Cismon River valley and threatened to destroy them. The damage to the nation-- and to the world--was almost incalculable. Premier Aldo Moro declared Nov. 11 that the floods had wiped out the economic gains achieved since the recession. He called for a period of na- tional austerity.

And it wouldn't be hard to make a case that if the government moved into price - setting in milk, the precedent would be set for similar action in other fields, More likely is that the gov- ernment will tell the dairies they will have to improve their efficiency through cutting down on door to door deliveries and effecting other economies, POINTED PARAGRAPHS Many a@ politician is so ac- dustomed to talking through his hat that he hangs it over the microphone when broad- casting a speech, "My case of indegestion keeps getting worse," said Old Sore- head, "and it it looks like I may soon reach the point where a eat enough to live, it'll me.'
