"Furtbermore, water transportation is also unchal- lenged today in its capacity to move large tonnages witb minimum fuel consumption and witb the least disturbance to our environment. Each year, mid-continent trade increases and the vessels of new trading partuers make their appearance. The econo- mic activity generated con- tinues to infuse new energy into an already dynamic region. " Canada's ecoliomy first emerged and grew in response to the demands of European metropolitan centre for its natural products. Fisb, fur and lumber were to be the export staples wicb gave the new economy the larger part of its income and drew manpower and capital to exploit its abundant resour- ces. Througbout bistory, the St. Lawrence, the Great Lakes and thèir trîbutary streams served as the major artery of commerce - the axis from wbicb the national economy was organized. The five Great Lakes form the largest group of fresb- water bodies in the world. rEstending roughly from east to west, the Great Lakes have a combined shoreline of more than 8,000 miles and their combined area covers more than 95,000 square miles. About 61,000 square miles are in, the United States and 34,000 in Canada. Tbey form a single rdrainage system which dis- charges down the St. Law- rence River and extends more than 2,300 milés - nearly halfway - across the North American Continent. The system drains an area of approximately 678,000 square miles and constitutes an unequalled navigable inland waterway tbrougb a reglon ricb in-natural and indUstrial resources and througb whîch ever-increasing tonnages of bulk and general cargoes pour to and from tbe rest of the world. The entire drainage ter- ritory to the north of the St. Lawrence and tbe Great Lakes is occupied by the soufbern fringe of the Cana- dian Shield, a rugged, rocky plateau from whicb flow a number of tributary, rivers. These rivers, as well as the St. Lawrence, provîde mucb of the electrie power to operate tbe area's industries. This great continental core area embraces the North Central section of the United States and parts of four Canadian provinces. A total of about 200 towns and cities line the shorelines of the Great Lakes, including the important com- mercial and industrial cities of the southern Great Lakes and the ore and grain ports of Lake Superior. Two of the, six cities of the United States witb populations of one million or more _ Chicago and Detroit - and Canada's two largest cities - Toronto and Montreal - are on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. "The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 was a notable event, " says the Commercial Letter. "In open- ing tbe mid-continent's inlnnd lakes to deepdraft traffic, it added an important new route to the world's establisbed trading patterns. By deepen- ing the channel of the existîng waterway, building new locks and making other major improvements, it not 'only increased inland, water traf- fie between the ports of the St. Lawrence and the Great Provincial Court Tuesday August 24tb In part because she bas apparently licked ber drnking problem, a 25-year-old New- castle girl, charged witb, armed robbery, was given a suspended sentence in pro-ý vincial court here Tuesday. Deborah Gail Elizabeth Dobbs, of 20 Darlington Rd., was also placed on tbree years' probation by Judge R. B. Baxter after she pleaded guilty to the charge, laid May 7 following tbeft of $210 from a Bowmanville gas station. Court was told that Mrs. Dobbs drank a large amount of alcohol on the night of May 6-7 following a marital spat. When ber husband drove some guests home about 2 a.m., sbe took a .270-cal. rifle, loaded it, then walked to an all--nigbt Spur gas station on King Street West, pointed it at the attendant. and demanded Lakes but also brougbt to these same ports the ocean vessels which, because of the size of the locks, previously ended their journeys at Que- bec or Montreal." Following the historical trend, bulk commodiies con- tinue to dominate the traffic on the St. Lawrence Seaway and account for about 85 per cent of the cargo tonnage, the leading products being iron ore moving westward and grains eastward. Petroleum products, altbougb of less significance in ternis of tonnage, represent a growing category. "The Great Lakes account for more that 60 per cent of the sbipping trade between Cana- da and the United States. Direct commerce between the Great Lakes and overseas accounts for about one-quar- ter of total cargo tonnage. The St. Lawrence Seaway bas he hand over bis receipts. Court was also told that before going to tbe station, she bad fired the rifle at her bouse causing some damage. She fled on foot from' tbe station but was arrested a short time later at gunpoint by two Durham Regional police constables. She was still intoxicated, police said. Crown counsel Kenneth Stubington agreed witb the sentence imposed after de- fence counsel Terry Kelly said Mrs. Dobbs was just recently found a job and is "responding well" to ber alcobolic problem since joining Alcoholics Anonymous.
