PAGE EIGHT THE CANAIDIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLLr, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MARC!! 4th, lb.d Conservation Engineer Préïsents Facts ai Durham Couniy Club The Durham County Club of Toronto held its February. meet- ing Tbursday, the 26th, at I.O.D. E. headquarters, when Dr. Frank Trebilcock, who has a delightful way of reminiscing, presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Miss Helen B. Baker, re- cording seCretary. Dr. Trebilcock called upon Dr. L. B. Williams te introduce the speaker, Mr. A. H. Richardson, Forest Engineer a! Ontario De- partment o! Lands and Forests. The Speaker Dr. Williams bas been closely assaciated with Mr. Richardson for mnany years, and said that Mr. Richardson's previaus talks ta tbe club had been so well received, that it was with pleasure ha in- troduced hlm again, as Mr. Ric- hardson had become tops as Chie! Engineer o! Conservation in the present gavernment. Mr. Richardson bas written a book o!

This important phase is already backed by sustaining iaws. The other great interest is for sparts, such as fishing, hunting and recreation, but ail are related in the improved handling of wa- ter, soil and trees that are the bas- 15 of wealth af this country. Right at our daor in Toronto are the Humber and Don Valleys $hat cauld be greatly improved bya sust ained and intelligent ef- fort of conservation, and steps are naw being taken ta imprave these areas. Ontario Wasteland The speaker reminded the audi- ence that there are over 8,000 square miles of Southern Ontar- ia useless for agriculture, but capable of producing trees, and put in a belated but kindly word for the preciaus swamp areas of this province that are essential ta its development and conservation, pointing out that they are na- ture's reservoirs. He referred ta the methods now being made ta assist the farmer in the proper method of lay-out for his farm, for plowîng and cul- tivating ta avoid the erosive waste of preciaus top sali, and mention- ed that a great deal has already been done in this effort in the United States. Also that a num- ber o! men are being especialiy trained for this work by the Ag- ricultural College at Guelph. He said the people of Durham County are willing ta carry out the recommendations in the Gan- araska repart, and mentioned ef- forts being taken in many parts o! Ontario, showing public inter- est in this vital work. Pleture Illustrations The second part o! the lecture was given aver ta a number of technicolored slies, forcibly illu- strating the necessity and the re- suits of many conservation efforts throughout this province, with speciai reference ta the Ganaras- ka survey. During the intermission be- tween the speaker's address and showing of his pictures, Capt. Don Linden introduced musical num- bers by "The Regents of Toron- to," with Mrs. Margot Parrott ac- campanist. The Regents consisted of a quartette who sang deligbtfully, "The Watermelon vine;" Wbere the Sunsets turn the Ocean's Blue ta Gold;" and a new version o! "Old King Cale," with refreshing melody and harmony. The four men were in "cricket" form, as well as style, in their navy. blue jackets with crest, red and white striped ties and grey trausers. They pleased the audi- ence with many encores, even ta "Barber Shop" style in the foyer af terward. Mr. J. H. Fair thanked the speaker for his instructive and timeiy address. Social Time Mrs. A. W. McLeod w-as con- vener o! the social hour assisted by Group 4. Mrs. O. J. Hender- son and Mrs. Hutcheson presided at the coffee urns. An artistic floral decoration of silver sprigs centered the table and red can- dies gave quite a festive air ta the occasion. The men of the club have become quite adapt in serving refreshments. Dr. O. Worden thanked Group 4 for their important part in the evening's pragram. Members Missing Several regulars were missed: Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Pollard, whose yaung daughter, Rose Marie, is taking part in the Kiwanis Festi- val. Mr Fred TrulI and Mrs. Cruick- shank were absent. There were a number of visitors amongst whom were Mrs. O. T.

McClellan had as their guest, Mr. Melville, and it was gaod ta again see Mr. Rundie Sr., accompanied by his son. The Fairs Cooksviile In an English exhibition of paintings by p3atients in a mental PONTYPOOL In the days of early Canadian history, we learn that lovely Mad- eline Vercheres was a beroine at sixteen years o! age. Wasn't she the girl that saved the French- Canadian village from the savage Indians by ber caurageous exam- pie? A few days ago, aur own lovely, dark-eyed, Madeline Hack- woad, sixteen years aid, praved that she has the same fine cour- age o! that earlier Madeline, when she assi ' ted sa ably and seiflessly at the fire wbich destroyed the fine brick dwelling occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Calahan and the twenty children that the Cala- han's board for different people in Toronto. It is thought a defective chirn- ney caused the blaze. Neighbors, the local fire brigade and the lads !rom the Hydro camp gave every assistance possible. No lives were lost. Same furnishings, ciothes, and canned goods were burnt. The Calahans and their young charges have rented the house owned by Mrs. Jim Curtis and are already dorniciled there. Luck- ily, the autbreak occurred at noon on a windless day. Gardon Kirk bas again resumed bis duties as bighway foreman, after being con!ined ta bis borne thraugh illness. At the last annual ratepayers' meeting o! S.S. No. 9, the secre- tary was instructed ta invite the P.S. Inspector ta attend a special meeting a! tbe ratepayers and ad- vise tbem on possible future cap- ital outlay in connection with im- praving existing buildings or er- ecting new ones. Some ratepay- ers are anxiously wandering when that special meeting is gaing ta be called. We are in receipt a! a recently arrived letter tram Dr. L. S. Fal- lis, surgeon in chie! of the Henry Fard Hospital, Detrait. In which he tells us that, during bis recent trip ta England, be visited Shorn- cliffo, Folkstone and Sandling and !ound they had changed very lit- tie tram the days when be and I saidiered around thase parts thir- ty-three years ago.

He was gold medaiist a! bis class in oriental languages at the University a! Ta- ronto. A!ter ordinatian inta the ministry o! the tnited Church, he married a Miss Dawn. They moved ta Pan typool abaut thirty years aga, when Mr. McLachlin assumed charge o! this circuit. It was under bis enthusiastic and energetic direction that the pres- cnt United CIjurch in the village was built. Since leavingý this charge, Mr. McLachiin was farced ta retire tram active preaching owing to ili health. Although be did came out a! retîrement ta con- duct McCrea's sixtieth annivesary services. A few days aga, at Belle- ville, at the age o! 62, thîs talent- ed, generaus bearted. man died. We offor sympathy ta the bereav- cd famîly.

But dan't lot that get ynu Minister Embarrassed By Questions Put By Durham Member In the debate on Bill 3 wbich gives Hon. C. D. Howe the auth- ority o! a dictatar over Canadian busincss in the governrnent's be- lated plans for canserving Cana- dian dollars, the Minister bas been bath angry and uncertain under the barrage o! questions from Pro- gressive Canscrvatives. Questioned by Charlie Stephen- son, Durhamn M.P., in tbe House, Fcbruary 16, Mr. Howe admitted: -The hon. rnember bas me in a samewhat awkward situation." I quate tbe !allowing passage tram Hansard which shows that Step- benson is on the job and taking an active part in the business o! the country: Mr. Stephenson-I should like ta ask a question arising out o! a statement made by the Minister o! Trade and Commerce. He said that sa far as building or con- struction projects were concerned those rosponsible for building the projeets would ho told ta use Queenston limestone instead o! Indiana lirnestone. If the minis- ter is going ta say ta construction companies that thoy rnust use Queenstor- limestone instoad o! that fram Indiana, the Queenston quarrios might flot be in a posi- tion ta suppîy the required arnount o! limestono. It might tako years to reach a position where it couid be suplîlied in quantity. I asked the Minister o! Finance a question a !ew days ago, but be did not answer it. I ask it again. Are thoSe suppliirs ta ho given no security? If they expand so as ta build up a big business in an effort ta supply limestone for these projeets, they might !ind that these restrictions ivould be taken off avernight, and q com- pany which lias spent huge sums o! money ta expand migbt be swarnped. Can not the gavern- ment say ta tho producors and ta the manufacturors bow long these restrictions rnay last. It is im- portant that this question shouid ho answored. It is a question I amn sure private members who are supparting the govçrnrnent as well as the members a! the op- position ,-ould like ta bave answ- ered if they have factories and producers of goods in their own ca nstit ucncle s. I amn wondering if the govern- ment are not finding themseives in this position, that the gavern- ment having agreed ta the terms o! the Geneva trado agreement for freer trado, this bill setting out restrictions is just the oppos- ite; the two courses o! action are counter ta eaeh other? In the terms o! the Geneva conferonce we have agrced ta freer trade; yet the govcrnment is now in a position where it is putting on re- strictions. For that reasan the government will not say ta the people o! Canada, "This wili be in force for six months'"-or two years or ton years, as the case may ho. I think it is important ta ev- ery member of parliament and ta the people o! Canada as a wbole ta know how long this programn will ho in effeet, in order that they mnay make provision ta take care o! short supply.' If they do build up a business thcy should know that thcy will not ho wiped out again by the lifting of restrictions. Sureiy the question I bave asked is a reasonahie anc. Mr. Hawe: It illustrates the dif- ficulty of answering a bypotheti- cal question. I used Qucenston limestone as campared with In- diana limestone as an example. The saving of United States dol- lars would not ho groat, because neither Indiana nor Queenston limnestone is used in such large quantities. Sa, for that reason, the bon. member has me in a sorncwhat .awkward situation. However, I would say this, that I think any business which ex- pands ta take care o! the immedi- ate situation, thinking that it will last more than a year or two, is making an unwise investmcnt. I hope it will not do that. Unless an industry is expanding on .a basis that will survive under normai conditions, it would be un- FREE SERVICE IDEAD HORSES & CATTLE REMO'¶ED IMMEDIATELY and WITIIOUT CHARGE Telephone Collect: TORONTO - Adelalde 3636 COBOURG - 48J GORDON YOUNG, LIMITED emergency poiicy. I agree in principle that the government is adopting a program which should have been adopted in this coun- try twventy years ago. I know the gavernment wili nat adopt a con- servation poiicy because the Con- servatives have abvocated such a palicy. I believe that if a poiicy of this kind had been inaugurated twenty years aga we would have built up industries in this coun- try, thereby creating employment and preventing the exodus of aur people ta the United States. If we had in Canada a conservation program we could pracess aur own naturai resources, instead of just trying ta preserve United States currency spent for imparts, and we wouid be doing sometbing constructive for Canada.

Port Hope Grows Industries Open Foliowing the recently complet- ed assessmçnt in the town of Port Hope, an estimate o! the present population places the figure at 5,- 313, according ta a headiine in Saturday's Port Hope Guide. But in the follawing text this is amended ta read 5,513, and the re- part states that this is an increase a! about 100 over the estimate given last fali from a preliminary survey Py Town Assessor Robert Cbaik. Eitber figure can be taken ta in- dicate that Port Hope is expand- ing alang normal lines which in- clude the attraction of a new fac- tory and an important housing project wbich has added 50 new homes under Wartime Housing. The Tawn Assessor appears ta be an officiai wha takes great pains ta keep Council and the public in- formed, a pracedure whicb bas its advantages.
