Page 2 WHITBY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1946 WHITEY CALLINO Publiahed E9very Thursday By S. B. DAWSON and PAUL DAWSON 141 BROOK STREET SOUTH WHITYo ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1946 Better Education Better educational facilities are open to boys and girls in îlîîs age in Canada than were available wo their parents and, generally, they are taking fuil advantage of their opportunities. A good percentage of young people get ai Ieast mauriculation standard when they face Iife's responsibi i ties. Increased income in thousands of [amulies enable parents to keep their children in school longer and permit them to take a course in some college or technical school. Most parents want their sons and dau&hters to have a better chance than they had and see that education wili give them that chance. Life is more complex now than when Canada was young. Our forefathers hewed out their farms and roads and small settlements by hard work and the strength of their muscles, but more than that is needed today. The better educated young people of the present will hase greater intelligence to meet the problems of work and business and, we hope. will be wiser in solving the questions of citlienshiip. Protect Our Resources In terms of history a century is a comparativcly short pcriod. The celebration of so miany centennials this year in the cities and towns of Ontario brings the days of the pioneers who settled in the province, cleared the land and buihi up towns and villages. In one hundred years there have been great changs-for the most part for the better. but progress always takes its toll. The time is long past when this province could boast of virgin soi! and unlimited resources. Today, the watchword must be Conservation, and science and ingenuity musi be put wo work tu preserve millions of acres of land fromn destruction by wind an c water erosion. There are in the agricultural part of Ontario 5,000.000 acres unfit for anything except trees. and duis is approxi. inately onc-sixth o! the total area of the province. Everyone who has driven through 'the country roads has noticed the desolation of the abandoned farmhouse, and evidence of dissappointed hope and wasted toil. A report o! the Uni- versiyvof Toronto tells of one sinalai-ca where there arc 75 farin building classcd as fair or poor, while 44 have been aban- doncd or levehled. In most cases the land was good to start with, but it was farmed without foresighi. The ~ad part às that it is solely because of human neglect that th 1l is disappeanng, waslucd away b*r water and P1own awaybiy wind at a rate and on a scale unparalled in hîstory. Tfitre 'as îragic irony in the fact that as the farier realized that his land is washing or blowing away. with consequent lom of growth and revenue there cornes a loss of morale. The Province o! Quebec haî set an example by setting aside a 10-year fund of $10,000,000 for approved schemes ouf land utili- zation. At the present dime ahis province'as badly in need of an effective soil control programn and the suggestion haî been put forth that this should originate from the farmers themselves and make itsel! felt in requests for advice and assistance and guidance o[ Goveruament departnments. The menace can only be coin- baîîed by concerted and concentrated effort on the part ouf in- dividuals, fariners' associations, universiries, county councils. and Dominion and Provincial Deparmenu of AgriculIture.
