JAMES, Editor New Year's Resolution Be Yourself-OnIly Differtnt The oid cliche, "Be Yourself" is a pretty good slogan to take into the New Year as a * good resolution, but we tag on the suggestion- ".only different"-for, looking back, almost everyone will admit shortcomings, things done and left undone that are belatedly regretted. We have come through a Christmas season in this country with manifestations of more than usual happiness. For we have achieved a great measure of industrial peace at home and have seril a most hopeful turn in the deliberations of the United Nations. We have a new sense of peace and security. Our resolution therefore, as individuals, should seek ta promote the con- tinuance and fulfilment of these desired goals. We can be ourselves and yet be different in our outlook by taking the long view. The broad pîcture is made up of three stages, ser- vice to the community, service to the nation, service to the world at large. We have corne ta an era when we must lift up our eyes to accommodate this entire picture !or its inter- relationship now becomes apparent to ahl who choose to think. If we serve one to our full- est, for instance our community, we serve ahI. To achieve this mental outhook we believe to be just about our most important resohution for 1947. Resuit of Election Mandate For Whole Council There appear to be a few clearcut points ta emphasize as a* resuit of the municipal elec- tions held on December 23rd. While a small vote was polhed we believe it represented a good cross-section of the opinion of citizens who put up the money by way of taxes to finance the business of the town. It will be seen that good majorities were given in every polling sub-division for a slate of businessmen most o! w»pm had previaus exper ', in council. They announced their phatfot'ms in the press. '1 They were elected to give effect to sound gov- e1Ïnnent for 1947. We believe the mandate so expressed applies not only to the four ehected but to the whole council. As presently constituted the incoming coun- cil is made Up of five who received acclamations t without having stated anything in the nature of broad poicies. The remaîning four, elected by poplar vote, offereci clearcut expressions of their intentions if elected and they were most emphatically endorsed. The general desire, thtefore, appears to be steady progress, sound fiMnce and full publicity. These matters have ,jl~e o! reasonablià fulfilment for ~'ertainly th e wilh be no- --mes ti publicity. eàndidates in the -peal, none haul- *f it strictly to vho agreed to shown after 'ielieve the continu- iar with re will to be with iven. A good many munIipalties in a similar position of meeting a period o! reconstruction, are consîdering a system of municipal income tax to equalize the financial burden and ease the tax rate. It will be noted that in our pre- election statement, we suggested a commission to study the question -for consideration of the incoming council. In view of the vote folhowing the suggestion it appears to be the wish that exploration of this character is desired. Slowdown on Ganaraska Opinion of Observers Letters have been received by the editar during the past few weeks from interested con- servationists wbo ask what is happening in the Ganaraska project in Durham County. If is some time sînce the public has received any information in the matter which began witb mucb publicity a few years ago. We have been asked ta, raise the question at fhis time in order fa re-kindle public interest and proceed with the plan. Some six years ago a public reception was held near the headwaters of the Ganaraska under Dominion-Provincial auspices at which many prominent men were given an insight of the scheme. The matter was fully reported in The Statesman at the time. It was described as the first unit of a national scheme of conser- vation and was heralded as a pilot experiment for other projected undertakings. Subsequent ta the meeting a very exhaus- tive treatise on the Ganaraska was prepared by A. H. Richardson who headed the field force at that time. Later developments included the visit o! a Canadian delegation to the U.S.A. to study conservation methods employed there. There was much initial -enthusiasm shown, much money spent. Stili later the Ontario Departinent of Plan- ning and Development was set up, followed by establishment of a local county authority which was asked to submit recommendations. Its recommendation was ta set aside 20,000 acres* as the Ganaraska Forest Reserve and to proceed with planting tree s ta conserve both forest and water resources and undertake flood control. It is understood that the Ontario Govern- ment has offered to supply haîf the cost of ac- quiring the land and will supply all the trees necessary. The recommendations of the local authority are now being studîed by the govern- ment. Much time, effort and money have been expended on the project since its inception. It is to be hoped that the original plans will be hastened during the coming year. Increased Costs, Less Revenues Experience of C.N. Railways The Canadian National Railways, in common with other Canadian railways and many lines o! business, enter the post war period facing increased costs and a decline in net revenues. The position o! the Canadian National Raiiways, a publicly owned transportation system, is set forth in a recent release by W. S. Thompson, Director o! Public Relations, who gives a re- view o! the situation for 1946 as outlined by R. C. Vaughan, Chairman and President o! Canadian National Railways. Difficulties o! the transition period are phainhy set forth. Faced wifh necessity o! catch- ing up on work heft undone during war, such as improvement o! roadbed, equipment such as rolling stock and ocean transport, the year bas been one a! declining revenues due ta many cost factors. In face o! such a balance sheef an appeal is now made for an upward revision o! rates an ahl freight tra!fic carried in Canada. If becomes simply a matter o! ultimate sol- vency. Higher operafing costs due to increased wage rates and materials represent an increase o! nearly $31,000,000. over 1945. Increased casts over pre-war levels range !rom 19.2 percent on steel ta 93.3 percent -on railway tics. Wage rates have advanced 43 percent and the total a! wages and materials have added over $90,- 000,000 ta operating charges for 1946 as com- ared with pre-war figures. A decrease o! operating revenues for 1946 campared with 1945 amaunts ta $34,673,000. Position is placed before the Canadian pub- is their officiais o! the Canadian National ivays go ahead wifh plans for improving ice in ahl deparfments. The aim is ta keep .aings rolllng, ta promote industriai develap- ment. widen export trade, re-cstablish prosper- ity. The case is made clear thaf greater volume, iot deficit barrowings, are neccssary at this Uie. lie goal is simply fa serve the people o! Can- la, faithfully and efficiently.

Lieut.-Colonel John Bayne Maclean. While covering grocery markets for the MVail, a Toronto newspaper, he felt that i! grocers throughout the country could have up- to-date market news, and news o! practical merchandising methods, they could imprc their own business methads and sales efficien, So he pioneered with Canadian Grocer. rapid succession other merchandising and bu ness papers were added, beconung the nuciE o! what is now Maclean-Hunter Publisbing( Ltd., with its present-day 34 merchandisit business, financial, and industrial pubflcatic taxes. With a ceiling on rents the matter is clearly one of downrigbt imequality. The thing adds up to one section o! the community put- ting up the maney for police and fire protec- tian, streets and sidewalks and general munici- pal impravements which are enjoycd equaily by thase who pay no taxes. If goes back to the old system o! representation without taxation. We have said that we cannot afford to stand still. To go forward means thaf more revenues will have to be raised to proceed with required services and the expansion necessary for a pro- gressive community and to service the dcbt charges. This takes planning and the long view. We believe that when the matter is fully appreciated, few who now escape their share o! putting up the money, wil wish to con- TWENTY-FIIVE YEARS AGO December 29th, 1921 At the municipal nominations the Chamber o!

""WAYS of the SPIRIT"% I I I I I I I The editorial on the Ganaraska Project in Durham County which appears in this issue o! The States- man was written before the offi- ciai release came fhrougb from the Ontario government outlin- îng terms o! the recent agree- ment. This release, dated Dec. 27, 1946, is as folhows: "The Honourable Dana Porter, Minister o! Planning and Devel- opment, announced that the Gan- araska River Conservatian Au- tbority, wbicb was established under the Conservation Authori- tics Act, oI October 8th, 1946, has entered inta an agreement with the Provincial Government for the carrying out a! a conserva- tion scbeme. The scheme pravides for the reforestation o! some thousands o! acres in an area de- signated as the Ganaraska For- est. This area was deflned and recommendations for its refores- tation were made in the Ganar- aska Report which was issued some months aga. Under the agreed scheme the financial contribution o! the Au- thority will be anc-bal! the cast a! acquiring land for reforesta- tion purposes. The Provincial Govcrnment will pay the remain- ing bal! of the cost of the land. In addition ta this, the Provincial Government will undertake f0 supply trees, ta plant the frees, fa fénce wbere necessary and fo maintain the forest. There is a provision in the agreement sim- ilar ta that which is usualhy con- tained in County Forest Agree- ments whereby af the end of a periad an option is given ta fhe Authority f0 buy ouf the Pro- vince's interest. If this option is nat exercised, the Province can buy out the Authority's interest and maint ain the area as a Pro- vincial Forest. The effect o! this agreement wihh be fa make passible the plant- ing of trees where they are most required for conservation purpos- es. Tbe trees planted wilh not merely provide a long term in- vestment o! eventual commercial value in the form o! a forest, but will at the same time play a sub- stantial part in the contror o! floodsin the maintenance o! un- derground water levels, in the checking o! sail erosion, In the Ganaraska watcrsbed the forest is the most important feature o! the whahe program and reforesta- tion is required rchatively an a rnuch larger sçale than in Most other areas.
