PAGE S!XT!UN ~IUV f'AWAflTAW M'I'A9'WMMAV WVA?~VT.T.W. ~ TITUREDAT. MARCH ftth. lia. A MacDuff Ottawa Report More Than Arrow Downed OTTAWA - The handwrltfng that looms so large on the waUl of the A. V. Roe plant at Malton spelîs out more than just the death of the supersonic Arrow- and a lot of national pride as well. It spelîs out far-reacbing and even more important chang- es in store for Canada politically, inilitarily and economically. Through the smoke and ire that have billowed up after the Oplane's plunge to oblivion, per- spective was bard to find. But some bard tacts are fast emerg- ing from the asbes. The number one and most brutal fact is that after the ex- penditure of nearly $16 billion since the end of the last war on defence we stand virtually de- fenceless. Our only shield is the power of the U.S. and the U.K. to retaliate in kind. The Arrow, developed at a cost of $400,000,000 since 1953, was designed to meet the tbreat of the manned bomber. It bas been made obsolete by the tact that the threat from the manned bomber is fast declining. The Bomare ground-to-air missile, flot even fully developed, is be- ing made obsolescent for the same reason. Real Danger to'Canada The real direct danger ta Canada cornes from two sources, the inter-continental ballistic missile and the intermediate range ballistie missile fired from beneath the waters of the ocean by a submarîne off either coast or in Hudson Bay. "By the middle of 1962 the threat from the inter- continental ballistie missile will undoubted- ly be greatly enhanced in num- bers, size and accuracy and the ICBM tbreat may be supple- mented by submarine-launched missiles," Prime Minister Dief- enbaker declared in the House of Comm ons. Against this growing threat there is no defence. What do these central facts mean for Canada? A man would bave to be a prophet ta be sure, but some conclusions are pretty clear. Canada's defence more and more will came ta be dominated by the U.S. Guided missiles will be acquired for its forces on land, sea and air from the U.S. but their fire-power-tbe nuclear warbeads-will remain under U.S. lock and key and be used only with U.S. consent. ..... . .. BaRrrite an oiio 65 *1.e t'S shw R RLPH5-352NE 1 If, au Detence Minuster Pearkes has maintained, some intercept- Sors will be required tor the de- fence of the North American -Continent for a long time ta 3carne, then it is probable that U.S. tighter squadrans will be moved into Canada ta aperate under the Pinetree radar line and Sage electronic cantrol system. Ever-Dlmlnlshlng Roie Canada will have an ever- Ldiminishing raie in continental air detence in the missile age and the same may in time prove true of its raie in Europe. It follows that it will speak with1 a progressively weaker voice in the councils of Norad and o! Nato. Wbat about the complex de- tence production giant that bas been built up in Canada at in- fînite expense and highly.skill- ed teamns of scientists, engineers and technicians that have been welded together? The prospect is for a sharp cut-back in the( industry over the next few yearsE and loss of many o! the experts1 ta the U.S.1 The $800,000,000 or more which the government plans to spend on defence equipment, in-1 cluding construction o! the Bo-N marc bases, seven RestigoucheE class destroyer escorts, the Argus1 aircraft for submarine huntingE and the new Caribou aircraft fort army transport will belp but is not sufticient ta maintain the1 great i.ndustry that bas been built Up around Canadian-de- signed and develaped equipjnent like the Arrow. The Arrow Is the witness that the day is past when Canada can afford ta design and produce its own weapons solely for its own us.A Fair Share of Orders The only real hope for sus- tamning the industry in its pres- ent torm depends on the U.S. This is wbat cames closest ta touching the national pride att the quick. The most extreme1 expression came tram Hazen' Argue, CCF House Leader, who1 called on the government ta tel the U.S. ta give Canada. a fair1 share ot defence orders or the wbole defence partnersbip was off.c Atter six months of discussion, iA is apparent that ahl Canada bas really obtained fromn the U.S. is a promise to'give Canad- ian companies sympathetie con-s sideration on defence arders. Even Prime Minister Diefen-c baker admitted ta the Commons that he was not satisfied, that be was pressing the U.S. ta do mare. Blind and Unreasoned In most instances, the attack against the U.S. is blind and un- reasoned. For years Canada bas not carried the same defence burden as its neighbor to the south and its burden is diminish- ing. The U.S. bas already agreed to pick up two-thirds of the, $300,000,000 cost o! building new Pinetree radar stations, building the two Bomare bases and installing the Sage system. Surely it is unreasonable for Canadians to demand that in addition the U.S. should spend the money for equîpment in Canada when it is facing a serious unemployment problem in its own country and par- tieularly among its aircraft i- dustry. What of the decision of the Diefenbaker government to cancel the Arrow? Most of the crities do flot take issue with J what the government bas done,j but the way it bas done it. They ý iare on good ground. Company Had a Contract The Prime Minister has madle much of the tact that the Avro Company was given lots of indi- cations that the program would be cancelled and suggested it sbould have been taking steps months aga ta meet the day. But could it really? The campany had a contract, an obligation ta build 37 Arrows for the gavern- ment and that contract had ta be fulfilled until such time as it was cancelled. When that hap- pened wbat else could the company do but notify its em- ployees there was no longer any work for them ta perfarm. After the contract was cancelled the government entered discussions with company officials ta seek alternative employment for its workers. Why were discussions of this nature flot carried on weeks and months before in an effort ta tind a solution? One of the big, unanswered questions is that of the Canadian air division in Europe. At present it is equipped with obso- lete CF-lOO's and Sabre jets wbich will have ta be replaced with new 'planes or missiles un- less the Canadian force is ta be witbdrawn completely. A gav- ernment decision on this question before now might have present- ed a temporary solution at least ta the crisis wbich now faces Avro and its hundreds of sup- pliers. Mrs. H. Turner 0f St. PauI's Is Hionored St. Paul's W.M.S. met at the home o! Mrs. S. MeAllister on Tuesday, Feb. 24. Plans were made for a joint meeting with the W. A. ta be bel1d on March 17, at which ladies tram the Tyrone circuit and Trinity, Bowmanville, will be the guests. Miss Vera Boyd, R.N., on fur- lough from Hat Piplia, India, will be the special speaker. Mrs. H. Galbraith was In charge o! the devotional based, on the book of Ruth. Mrs. Ross Stevens and Mrs. J. Bowman, assisted in this inter-rac.ial study. In commenting an the study on Iniian Canadians, Mrs. H. Ferguso- pointed out that the Indians are no longer a vanish- ing race. One of their chie! problems is integration. Wýh en leaving the rights and privileges, o! the reserve behind, they be- corne Canadian citizens wîth al1 the associated responsibilities. With reference ta Farley Mowat's article in McLean's magazine o! Jan. 31, Mrs. K. Werry pàinted out the endur- ance and courage demonstrated by the Eskimo women. Thisi minority group are also facing a great change in their way of lite and should enlist aur con- cern ai prayers as new pat- terns o! life are tormulated. Mrs. Harold Turner was very pleasantly surprised when the presidcnt, Mrs. D. Armistead, presented ber with a lite mem- bership which bad been given by ber mother-in-law, Mrs.' James A. Turner.

Like Goldilocks I met aIl three-Mother Bear, Father Bear and Baby Bear-but not ail at once and not in that or- der. Mother Bear was first and I arn very glad ta say I did.i't meet lier face ta face. One Sun- day afternoon i June Mrs. Henderson took me for a walk ta the back o! their farm. She wanted ta show me where she picked blueberries every sum- mer. She promised me a fine view over miles of country so we took along a pair o! field glasses. After what seemed like a long long walk she led me in a scrambling climb ta the top o! a rocky ledge. Many feet be- low, the blueberry country spreaචout before us secming ta extend for miles. I was exploring iA thorough- ly with the glasses when I saw a large dark abject move. I re- adjusted the glasses and looked rigbt into the face o! a bear. Then Mrs. Henderson took the glasses and discovered two cuhs. They were romping and playing like two littie kittens and we watcbed thern for, quite a whiia. But Mother Bear began ta get restless and seemed ta be looking directly at us. Mrs. Henderson assured me that they1 were a long way off and the wind was blawing tram them ta us so that no sound or scent should warn the mother. Aiso they were down in the valiey and she would bave ta climb up an almost perpendicular wall of rock ta reach us. But I was stili uneasy and wben she actually started corn- ing in cur direction 1 turned and ran and Mrs. Henderson Iaughingly foflowed. I believe bears are somnewh-it near sighted but they are said ta be f ull o! curiosity. She migbt bavgZ seen the sun flash- ing on the binoculars and start- ed out ta investigate. That was Mother Bear. Twa or three years later and many miles away came my meeting with Baby Bear. One evening in early fal Mary Williams and I were after the cows whiclâ bad gone back further than lisual into the bush. We came ta a place wbere the patb forked ta go around the two sides o! a rocky ledge and canverged an the far side. Mary suggested that we sep- arate and meet where the two ways joined. I have always been a coward when alone in the great autdoors. But ta veto ber suggestion was ta betray my. lack a! courage. I wanted no white feather pinned on me sa I started off making a great pretense o! bravery. It was an uneventful walk tili I bad covered about baîf the I distance. Then I heard a great rustling and cracking of bran- ches and out onto the pth scrambled a yaung bear. I don't think it was as large as a cal- lie dag but it was less than twenty teet away and I was neyer nated for courage. I stood still-too frightened ta xnove! The little bear was startled toa. For a brie! instant il stoad stiIl. Then it rase bal! upright as if for a better look. One look was enough. It gave a sort of "Woof!" and dropped ta ail fours. Then il scampered in ta the bushes and away out o! sight. Considerablv upset, I wahked on ta meet Mary. "Did you meet my baby bear?" the asked and laughed. at me for being frightened. But she didn't laugh when Father Bear began paying vis- its and not as a paying guest. He belped himself anc night ta a feast o! apples from a treei near the bouse. We were wak- ened by the breaking o! bran- ches. In tle marning we found al the main branches broken down and strippcd of apples. Mr. Wil- liams said it must be a very large bear to reach so bigh and ta break down sùch big limb-. One evening some weeks la- ter, Mr. Williams and -Mary werc up at the3 barn doing tac milking. It was getting quite dark and Mrs. Williams asked1 me ta take themn a lantern. 1 Carrying the lighted lantern I beaded for the barn. Thept led past the pig lot whereMr Williams had a couple o! pigs Jin a fenccd enclosure.- The piga. were racing wildly about, snort- ing and squealing. I hurried into the cow stable with the lantern and said, "What is the matter with Li~e 1pigs?"p Mr. Williams went ta the! door and listened. Then he snatched up a stable fork and the lantern and ran towarcts the pig pen waving the lantern and shouting. He was in time ta sec a big bear scramble over the fence and disappear in the darkness. One of the pigs was badiy mauled. We looked at the bear's tracks in the mud around thep.9 trougti. Mr. Williams measur~ed themn and exclaimed, "He _as' certainly a big one-big enough ta be the daddy o! them ail!" Since I passed within twe ty feet o! hlm, I think I can bonestiy daim ta have met Fa-' ther Bear even if 1 didn't shake han ds.1 JWhat Others Say JOBLESS PROBLEM Financial Times. The problems of unemplqy- 1ment are not, how2ver, confin- ed ta the numbers unemploy- ed. Many of those now jobless have cxhausted their unemploy- ment benefits. Their prospects [ for work are flot bright. Fur- ther, the number of m-n and women in this situation- is in- craing daily. Unemployment insurance was flot întended to tide over the jobless for a year or more; yet there are those who now have been out of work that long. NEIVSPAPERS MISSED The Commonweal. We must know what is hap- pening in Berlin. We have been waiting for the consistory in Rome and now we cannot read of it. The Middle East, China and Africa are part of aur life, and events, we know, will not wait for us. Even at home we cannot be satisfied. Who wou]d have inissed advertisements, or have f,2it so strongly that local politics are better when they are public? As for the arts, we don't even know what's at the neigh- borhood show, and when we did see the fine dramatie adap- tation of Graham Greene's. Thý Power and the Glory at the Phoenix Theatre we couldn't find out if the critics recogriiz- ed its merits. The newsstands look barerj each day. Radio and TV wilI not do.

Pearce,i manager af the Brighton branch1 o! the Canadian Bank o! Com-l merce since 1953. Mr. Pearce is being trrn.sferred ta the Or- angeville branch at the end af February. He was formerly of Newcastle. More than 90 friends attend- ed a complimentary banquet held iw the Legion Hall on Mon- day evening, hast week, when the guest o! honor was present- ed with a wrist watch and a purse of money. J. E. Solomon ably expressed the tribute a! those assembled, and Sam Net- ley made the presentation. Mr. Pearce expressed bis deep, appreciation ta bis friends and associates, and bis regret at se- vering his connections with the citizens o! this community. George Coling presided as master of ceremonies and cani- munity singing was led by R. J. Forrester with T. Clive Thomp. son as pianist. Harvard McMullen of Bloomi. field, who is succeeding Mr. Pearce as local bank manager, was present and introduced to the gathering. Mr. MeMulen expressed bis pleasure at cam- ing back ta Brighton, where he fornierly served as a Junior on the local staff. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion catered for the Lands and Forests Weekly Report' By D. R& Wilson, District Forester Moose Census At present the Division of Fish and Wildlife is carrying out a province-wide moose sur- vey to determine the trend in moose populations. Mr. P. W. Swanson, Assistant Wildlife Supervisor, bas organ- ized the survey in this District. The survey is made from the air in a Beaver Aircraft. It takes a pilot, navigator, and two oh- servers to tly over plots chosen scientifîcally at random. Plots are 5 miles by 5 miles with an area o! 25 square miles. These plots are traversed in such a way that the whole area is com- pletely covered and searched by the prying eyes of the ob- server. As this is a tedious job. personnel from other divisions have been called upon ta assist in carrying out this project. Moose seen through the leaf- less bardwood forest are count- ed and wbere possible, the sex is noted. Moose tracks are in- vestigated by flying an ever- widening circle i an attempt to locate the moose itself. This survey is especially im- portant in this District due to the accessibility of moose areas and the large hunting popula- tion as compared to the north- ern districts. Farni Woodlots Many tarmers are now work- ing in their woodlots cutting out saleable products or fuel wood for their own use. A great number of these tarmers are unaware of the potential whic!h their woodlot holds: consequent- ly, with some advice on man- agement, they might maintain a resource and increase their financial return. There is an ever lncreasing need for farmers to retain their woodlots through proper meth- ods of harvesting and seeing ta it that there is sufficient re- generation coming back to main- tain the stand. Advice on woodlot manage- ment and reforestation is avail- able to all land owners free of charge. In Peterborough and Northumberland Counties con- tact E. L.
