Probiems nôt oniy of air. pol- lution, which has been front page Inews iateiy, but aiso- contamina. tion of water and soil were dis- cussed and studied at the con. ference. One of the mo st thought-pro- voking papers was deiivered by Dr. C. H. D. Clarke, chief of the Fish and Wildllfe Branch of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Hée warned that pol- lution, which today is kiliing off fishes 'and other forms of wiid- a life, could indicate a future dan.- ýter to humnan life. 'PThere is no hiard and. fast way to determiine the èffects of dom. estie anmd industriai wastes on the environment stated Dr. Cilarke. But the simpiest way to measure good environment for human be- ings was to sec if wiidiife thrived in Wit He c spoke against the 'heavy- handed business' of appiying pest-, icides - "you poison the coyotes that ate the gophers, because ini- cidentaiiy they kili a few sheep. Then you have to poison the go- phers. It's a big deal if your in the poison business. E Dr. Clarke said that DDT lias - ruined reproduction of trout in a couple' of important Ontario lakes. With trout and saimon it has been estAlishied that a concen- tration of 2.9 parts per million in the yolk sac is the threshold of trouble in the survivai of the fry. At varying leveis higlier than that (but not much) the egg wili hatch, but when the fry start to absorb thé contents of the yeik sac they die. We are1 afraid that it is only a, matter of time until trout eggs from one of these sources can no longer be used. Dr. ýCiarke stated that our Only hope isthat one day the trade will use non-persistent chemicais, and then in time DDT will disappear from the environ- ment. The Pollution Control Confer- ence, called and sponsored by te.Ontario. Governmnent, was quite a success. For the first time the Government stated what programns and legislation it bas in, the Pollution control field. The three hundred invited delegates, of which the writer was one, are now in a position to detail this information to their various as- sociations, who in turn may send constructive comments and per- haps dletailed briefs to, the Gov- erament. Perhaps the gr eatest problem in the pollution control field is deveioping an intl)rmed public opinion, which in turn, will de- mand government action.
