A. Fort ester Rey C. Forrester -~ Editor and Manager NO SIBSIY NEEDED In ail the argument over who should pay subsidies for milli - fthe Dominion or flic provincial government - it lias hardly been suggested that the person who reaily ouglif to pay the extra money is the consumer - directly, with no suhsidy at ail. The trouble is that so many people are used to ietfing one government or other do everything that needs to be done fo rectify a difficuif situation that thcy overlook the ohvious solution. The daîry farmer's pliglit is causced primarily by the fact fliaf evcrything lie buys - labour, materials, 1,ind, and so forth - bas gone Up lin price far more than the product he seils. Those from whom he buys Ilhcse commod- ifies are not in g7,ýeral subsidized, so why should lie be suabsidized? With- proper organization of the dairy industry, if çliould be possible to control production to the point where no one could effectively underseli the ýrice agrecd te by flie organization. Government could bce prepsred f0 sfep in whenever if appeared that dairymer, were boost4ing their prices above a point needced to bring them a depcenït return on invested capital and reimbursement for their timne and effort. Since thcy are a long way from that point now ril prices could rise su bstsntially before any such government-7 action would be necessary.

In this regard the Bank of Nova Scotia lias relessed a review of the changinginfluences in this major Canadian industry. The review notes, first of al, that over thie past few years the persîstentiy strong demand for cars bias been a basic element. in the economic picture. Until some uncerfainties devel.oped in recent months, the expansion of car sales had shown no major break since 1961. Lying behind the sustained growtli in dcmand during the sixties bas been the generai expansion unprecedented for peace-time duration. Important factors -have aiso been the increasing mobility of population' and, the increase numhber of young people reachîn-g driving age. The density of car ownership lias devcloped greatly with tliree-quarfers of ail households owning cars last year as compared to two-thirds five years previously. The review credif sflic action of the federal govêrn- ment in recent years wîth strengfliening the position of the industry and encouraging exports. Last year saw a. sharp rise in flic export, of cars and of parts. The export picture bas been good in 1966 but "wifh flic softness of domesfic demand" sales are down. The outcome for the year wiil depend on flic reception of flic 1967 models. The suggestion is that in flic near future, demand for new cars seems likely to be susfained raflier than in- cressed aboveifs recent highl evel. Anther key consider- afion,, of course, is whetlicr, conomic acfivity continues fo gîve rise f0 a susfaincd growfli in cmploymenf and in- comes., In flic longer ron, Canadian car sales sliould remain sfrong, witli flic growing number of youug people ini their late teens and iinte continuing to lic-an important fac- for. If rnay wciilieý, foofliat flic growtli of demaîid in Canada will confinue to bc somewliaf stronger than in the 'Unîite St ates, in part reflecting a furfher catching-up ini flic densîýty of car ownership. Thus, flic Review concludes, ailihougli flicCanadian car market may now be reaching a plateau, fhls sliould be no more than temporary witli sales iikely to surge up again, perhaps to around 900,000 by flic early 1970's. -The Oshawa Times Clarke Township appears 10 be well on the way to becoming a centre' for recreation wifh pre- sent developments now in the planning stage. Considerable area 1 in this Township is being soug tobe set-up for recreation. Announcement lias been made fliat the Departmenf of Energy an(l Resources have alotted a sum of $285000a for soil testing along the Graham creek. 'It is in this area that the Ganaraska Riv- er, Authority plans the creation of a man-made 100 acre lake. The projeet is to be undertaken joint- ly with the above mentioned De- partiment.

Eacli province or ferritory se- leets students and escorts (usually high sechool teachers through its department of education, conduets orientation and~ briefing sessions, supervises reception arrangement in host provinces and looks after generai co-ordination within the province.

The principal of a school cii-ooses a nuomber of students and his choice is not based on academie record alone. Ail-round students, ý who meet people easily, usualiy are seiected.
