the ontarioquebec division of the cwj a page 8 the editors corner canada provides for old age security we have just celebrated the 84th anniversary o the confederation of canada as we begin the 85th year of our national life we find that in spite of temporary difficulties the cana dian economy has never been more buoyant sir wilfrid laurie r once said that this would be canadas century certainly we have come a long way towards making his dream come true as proof of the governments confi dence in canadas productive capacity and of its faith in canadas future this year will be marked by a pro gram to provide greatly increased security for our sen ior citizens this program to provide assistance for those in need at 65 and a pension without a means test for all canadians at 70 will8e implemented by two acts of parliament one the old age assistance act was passed by parliament last week the other the old age security act will be presented for parliaments approval later this year it is a symbol of our progress and of our concern for social justice that in these critical times when so much of our productive strength must be diverted to defence requirements we still give priority to the wellbeing of our people when this new program for old age security is fully in effect all canadians in the 65 to 69 age group who are in need of assistance will receive it and all those who are 70 and over will receive a monthly pension without means test by these new measures for old age assistance and universal pensions 860000 of our older citizens will benefit these are the men and women who have served our country so faithfully during the first half of this century wnile the above gives a picture of what canada is doing financially for our older citizens an article by james m mather md dph medical officer of health for hafton county tells what halton is doing in the way of housing for them this article appears elsewhere in this issue in memory of the pioneers r j deachman a consulting engineer and well- known ontario writer is worred about the timber sit uation and if there will be any left on our farms in the next fifty years he suggests that a memorial forest be established in honour of the pioneers who cleared the forests cultivated the land and built the homes of the nation mr deachman writes as follows in the early days of canadian history the five eas tern provinces or canada newfoundlahdvvab not in die family then were one solid forest oh yes there must have been breaks here and there for at times even in these days storms tumbled the trees or fires swept bare a small portion of this immense area i was bom the county of huron even when i arrived on the scene it was a land of manificent forests on the old farm back home we had elm maple sugar maple basswood a few hemlock beech birch cherry and an odd butternut or two they sought the shaded areas a creek ran through the farm we called it a river for creeks looked large to us especially when they were just a bit too deep to wade across on the other side of the creek there had been a great forest of cedar monstrous trees i never saw them in their full glory they were burned before i arrived on the scene but the stumps and partly burned trunks gave evidence of their size when i recall these trees of the early days i wonder why we have forgotten the men who did the clearing surely they were worth re membering worth honouring they made a great con tribution to our national life there is only one way to pay tribute to them in every county of ontario per haps in every township there should be at last one for est memorial e me pioneers the cost need not be great the finest farming land need not be selected for the purpose broken land with a stream running through it would do very well so too would hilly land in course of time there would come the harvest the land which produces these migh ty forests could do it again the crop would be harves ted- it would simply be a case of removing the fully matured trees leaving the younger ones to develop la ter this would be a perrrranent forest the harvest would be a continuous one the income from these forests might be used to develop other forestv in time die land best suuexhfor growing trees would be contrib uting building materials and earning a revenueforthe itaotpnty these are primary uses of wood some day we jmitjr have a wood standard oiliving in which wood prp- t jmw products for the use of man from the agricultural standpoint there is a impolicy the object would be to use all land for which it is best fitted the good and would still be farmed pasture land would be used for that purpose the broken land would goback into forests then on the gate of each forest memorial would be a plaque signifying that this is- a memorial fdrest a memorial to the pioneers who in the earlier days of our history cleared the land built their homes and made the canadian people a nation of home lovers these scattered forest areas in every county would add to the comfort and enjoyment of life- even now in some counties the springs are drying up the forest areas would be of increasing value from year to year this idea is almost equally applicable to the west there the wide open prairie land canbe reforested the object is the same to make the people of each province richer and happier because of better surroundings ft modem technology replaced outdated methods now in use if all forestwaste were processed if forests were no longer mined but grown the world would wit ness a starting
