PA(U WÀTTP TEE CARADIAN STATESMAK, BOWKAZqVILLE, OZqTAIUO TMURSDAY, JAS. l4tIs. W ,EDIORIAS A Major Critic at Work 'Aiter liste ning ta Major Geucral Mfacklin at the West Durham Canadian Club last week, It is a wouder tbis town Jias't been filied witb suicides. The picture he presented of aur bopes for ,survival certainly was uot a happy anc. Fartunately, most af bis listeners 4ibave been througb so many crises of a liational and international character lu 4he past few ycars, that they are flot Jeasily aroused. Noue* ai the politiciaus, 4trying ta defeud their expenditures on arins, 'planes, ships, and manpawer, bas ticoled thein for a minute. They kuow ,as weil as Geucral Macklin that if a .hydrogen war gets underway, tbe best tbing that can bappen ta tbem is ta be 'blown ta bits quickly, so as not ta pro- long the agony. *Is They realize too that Canada bas lostsom ofitssovereiguty by becom- 'ýgau auciilary, a "colonial appendage" *-ta the United States Air Force. But, ta ~date, it basn't burt tbem any so why sbould they worry. There is no easy escape anyway if there is a war and it Is far better ta be tied in witb a strong "big brother" than ta be proclaiming the indepeudeuce we can't afford ta pro- tect on aur awu. Somehow, General Mackli's re- mnarks reminu s of ther aid soldiers, Montgomery, Simmonds, Churcbil- Mann, wbo sem ta deiigbt iu viewiug with alarin something they've bad a m~ajor part in building. Until General Macklin and General Simmonds retir- ed, they were good soldiers, excellent leaders in peace and war ai aur perm- anient force and aur defence department. No sooner dld they retire than every. thing was wroug about the place they had just leit. Did tbey retire because of their views oh defence matters which were contrary ta those politiciaus wbo were lu office? We uevcr heard that tbey did. It la an easy raie for auyoue ta play the great critic. In this day and a ge, we bave ail too few of them ifor tborougb discussion of probleins. De- fence strategy aud pollcy generally always need crlticlsm. The major p rab- lem is for lay people te decide who is on the correct course. At Ottawa and lu the other western capitals of the world, the best brains available are con- centrated day and night on this per- plexing situation. These are men of great skill in miitary matters wbo arc constantly aualyzing aud assessing, with their advice beiug relayed ta the poli- ticians wbo, lu the final stage, must make the decisiaus. We doubt if even General Mackliu would suggest that cither the military experts or the poli- ticians are deliberately trylng ta place their countries lu au impossible situa- tion, dci ence-wisc. No, in aur opinion, Geucral Mackliu feels be bas a great cause ta espause. Onily time wil tell If bis views are correct. But, surely after ail tbe speeches he bas made aud the articles be bas writteu, be must feel that the people ai Canada are as stupid as those at Ottawa. Otberwise, tbcy would risc Up aud join bis crusade lu great num- bers. Maybc sanie day we shall wisb we had. f Between the glares oi garden loyers and the restrictions that have beeu placed on dogs because ai the rabies thrcat, the poor canines wbo ive lu town aren't baviug much fun these days. Nor are their awuers. We bave a dog at aur bouse, a riend'y mixture ai police breed and e le four or five years aid sud a oveable nuisance. "Lucky" was acquir- ed when a cute pup for ouly $2.98. The ,veudor at that time was a amaîl sized youugster who bad drawu the lucky ticket at a Royal Theatre matiuee. Unfortunately, b. aud bis parents lived ln a front street apartmnt wbere animals were taboo. Sa, we bought it at a bargain - - we thaught. There was some confusion aver the established that Lucky's name shouid have been Lucy, sa the dear girl bas been lying around the bouse ever since until she is quite wide across the back, due ta faoo much food sud too littie cxci- lue.I the intcrveniug years, Lucy's original cost bas skyrocketed due ta hleedles, operations, heat lost iroin open- ing the kitchen door a buudrad times a day, spots ou the, broadloom, etc. Iu addition, the other lady oi the bouse- hold bas becu weariug berseli out, ai laIe, trying ta keep Lucy from roaming up sund down the streets and juta the arms ai the dog catcher. We did speud about twa days lining tbe lot with chickeu wlra, sud anoîher couple ai days building a picket icuce. But, Lucy always manages ta find a hiddan hale ta crawl Ibrough and, one ai thesa dlays that zealous cotroiler ai canines will grab ber for sure. That will be another $2 plus ta bail ber out. Fiually, we decided that sometbing had ta be doue. A town wbere so, nxany people bate dogs roaming through The inability af the Durham County Jistrict -igh Scbool Board to find suf- Jficient water on the proposed site of a iiew high school at Courtice brings to the public attention a problem which iray bedevil us more and more in the future. Modern1f e demands such enormous quantities of water that shortage of this v.tal requirement of our civilization wiil become more crucial as our popu- lation expands and more people are living en eachi square mile of land. The provincial goverrnment bas recognized the problem and the powers given to the Ontario Water Resources Commission indicate officiai awareness of the potential crisis. But the people aLs a whole, lu this area at least, are nat sufficiently coucemned.

We've gven up! aiways have enough water right at the lakefront, but pumpiug water out of the Llake is more and more costly as the )distance froni the lake increases and Lwe should be miudful of the difficulties attendant on any substantial expansion away from the shore. One good thing about this is the fact that people will be remiuded that man cannot create his environment, no matter how much he may be able ta alter it for bis own benefit. As one of the basic renewable nat- ural resources, water must be conserv- ed and if substantial further develop- ment is to take place in Outario, every step must be accompauied by provision for adequate water suppiy. The iucreasiug pre-occupation with the need ta conserve water, like most conservation movements, cames after rukuch harm has been doue which could bave been avoidcd. The conservation- ists of eariy days, pitifuliy small in numbers, bemoaned the fact that men were abusing the earth aud their warn- iugs werit unhee4ed until recentiy.
