(CP Wirephoto) River Said Like Sewer At Niagara By JACK GRAY Canadian Press Staff Writer The smelly Niagara River, still famed for its beauty and its honeymooners, may become known as the biggest--and the most poisonous--septic tank in North America. The filth, including cyanide, in the international waters of fhat was once one of the best fishing areas on the Great Lakes has prompted Senator Robert Kennedy of New York to ask for a Canadian-United States conference on the situa- ion. "The river is fast becoming a sewer," he said. The Niagara was the worst case turned up in a survey of air and water pollution in Ontar- io by The Canadian Press, The survey was backed up Friday by allegations--which the Ontario government said it would investigate--that two farmers were suffering from fluorosis brought on by fumes from a Dunnville area fertilizer plant. And on Wednesday Alderman Tony O'Donohue of Toronto pointed to an air pollution prob- lem become more or less acute over Ontario's booming indus- trial cities. He told board of control that air samples in downtown Toron- to showed pollution "considera- bly above the level assumed dangerous by the U.S. Public Health Service." BLAMES NOXIOUS GAS He blamed sulphur dioxide, which city officials said is spewed from chimneys over To- ronto the extent of more than 100,000 tons a year. But the black Niagara situa- tion overshadowed every other area in the province. The 34-mile Niagara, flowing from polluted Lake Erie, is fouled above and below the falls by industrial and human waste, much of it untreated, from Ni- agara frontier centres. Then it pours into Lake Ontar- io to become the drinking water for suc cities as Hamilton and Toronto. Joseph A. Montgomery, indus- trial manager of the Niagara Falls, Ont., Chamber of Com- merce, said 1,200,000 pounds of solids daily, including 1,000 pounds of cyanide and 75,000 pounds of oil and grease, are dumped into the river from Buf- falo and Lackawanna, N.Y., in- dustries. - NEW VENTURER PROGRAM LOOMS SCOUTS TO HAVE MORE SCOPE Scouts Take Big Stride Into 20th. Century By HENRY HEALD OTTAWA (CP)--Canadian scouting took a giant stride into the 20th century Friday when it unveiled a new "boy centred'* Program for the 70,000 boys in the 11 to 14-year-old boy scout section of the movement. Two years ago a new pro- gram was introduced for the cubs, boys 7 to 10. Last year the 14- to 17-year olds were offered a new Venturer program. Now the main body of boy scouts will be given new scope to choose their programs and develop their leadership potential. John L. MacGregor, director of program services, told a news conference at the Boy Scouts of Canada national head- quarters here, that introduction of the new plan follows a sev- en-year study and a two-year testing period. It was the first basic revision of the scout training system Since the organization was founded in 1907. The new program, with its wide range of options and its emphasis on human relations and personality development, becomes effective September, 1968, but individual group will have until December, 1969, to gear in to the new scheme. SPLIT INTO GROUPS Dividing the 11- to 17-year- olds into two groups was the first fundamental step in the program. Mr, MacGregor said as long as the emphasis of scounting was on teaching skills there was little difficulty. But when the emphasis was shifted to character building it was found that the 11-to-14 and the 14-to-I7 age groups were not compatible. F. J. Finlay, chief executive, Boy Scouts of Canada, said the movement has faced a steadily declining rate of growth. Boys who didn't join the movement at the minimum age of eight years tended not to join at all. He said the new plan made it easier for boys to join at any age level and take part in a pro- gram compatible with their de- gree of maturity. Mr, MacGregor said the Ven- turer program had already drawn numerous boys back into the movement. Program changes were not aimed at in- creasing membership, but the membership trend was a good indicator of the appeal of the program to the boys it was de- signed to serve. The new scout program was tested for 16 months in Peter- borough and the Kawartha Lakes district after a six-month training course for leaders. The new badge and award system was tested by 44 groups across the country. Mr. MacGregor said the re- sponse was entirely positive. Leaders would be free to make more use of the resources of the community and would be able to take advantage of the leadership available from such groups as the Red Cross and St. John Ambulance. Training for leaders now will include executive skills as well as practical skills. Old-time scouters. may regret the loss of some of the tradition- al terminology. Scouts will not longer earn tenderfoot, second class and first class badges. Instead they will become pio- neers, voyageurs and then path- finders. There will still be plenty of emphasis on athletics and out- door life, but freedom as well to tackle any venture that holds their interest. The list of challenge badges and awards, which replace the former proficiency badges and cords, illustrate this trend. There are awards for adven- turing, canoeing, sailing and other outdoor activities, but there are aloso badges for com- municator, artist, interpreter, music and entertainer. And there is an open "troup spe- cialty" category for any field of interest chosen by the scouts themselves. FORECAST BY CORNWALL (CP)--An old Indian sees the muskrat: sign and says eastern Ontario is in for one of the severest winters in many years. Abraham Jocko, who at 86 is oldest resident of the Corn- wall Island Reserve, says the thickness of muskrat hides trapped by Indians on the re- serve tell him winter will be "long and very cold." He predicts snow eight feet deep. And he says it will not warm up until next July. Mr. Jocko's forecasts are also based on the height of the corn, grown by Indians along the St. Lawrence. Besides the corn and the LONG, BITTER-COLD WINTER INDIAN, 86 muskrat, he keeps an eye on the "night moon." Last year Mr. Jocko took a look at his corn and said snow "as deep as two tall horses" would fall. Total snowfall for Eastern Ontario last winter was 97.4 inches, more than a_ foot above normal. His general forecast for the winter is bitterly cold weather beginning early November with snow beginning anytime now and becoming heavier through December and Janu- ary. It will keep coming until April, according to the corn, the muskrat, the night moon and Abraham Jocko. Turner Defends a wide range of consumer is- sues but John Turner has told the public not to expect "magi- cal, instant solutions." The legislation to establish the department won approval in principle in the Commons Fri- tion attack and a strong defence by the 38-year-old registrar-gen- eral. He promised that the depart- ment he will head will "pierce the corporate veil," using the Criminal Code, the Combines Investigation Act, the Food and Drug Act and other legislative tools to aid consumers. CUTTING PRICES "Our proposed legislation on drugs is an example of the way in which we can modify laws in order to help bring about lower prices,"" Mr. Turner said. He added that his department already is examining com- plaints about the sale of hearing aids at "excessive prices."

Speaking to about 150 dele- gates to the federal centennial commission's 'Action '67" sem- inar on community improve- ment here, Dr. Mooney said modern man, in the enforced to- getherness and conformity of the city, becomes more and more alone. The desperation which comes when a person feels he is of lit- tle importance erupts on a mass level in demonstrations, strikes, riots and wars, he said. It may also take the construc- tive form of conferences and S0-| cial action movements. | Unless planners improve | | Commonwealth Union Praised OTTAWA (CP)--The Com- monwealth Press Union will as- sume an increasing importance in shaping the new Common- wealth, press union Chairman Gavin Astor said Friday.

FEARS URBAN SPRAWL Another panellist, Dr. Grant Carman, federal agriculture de- partment information director, asked how long "urban sprawl" would be permitted to take up argicultural land which repre- sents only three per cent of the world's land area, He termed the infringement on the fruit-growing area along the Niagara escarpment one of the "greatest misuses" of Cana- dian land. Responsibility for land use regulation rests too much with the municipality instead of the province, Urban areas must be defined | and restricted although such a| move would be unpopular," Dr. | Carman said. A constand urban| renewal policy was necessary.
