(From Farmer's Advocate) Arrangements have been agreed up- on by Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Minister of Pensions and National Health, for the Dominion Government, and Hon. N. O. Hipel, Minister of Lands and Forests for the Ontario Government, to make a sample survey of some area in Ontario in order to learn how many returned men may be employed during their rehabilitation period in healthful, useful out-door work and at the same time ascertain what the conservation efforts of the men and the restoration of the countryside will mean to the community and the state. This unique rehabilitation plan is a new idea in Canada and one of the most promising of the many projects now. under con- sideration for the benefit of soldiers releaséd from the armed forces during the war and in the months or years immediately following the cessation of hostilities. Fundamentally, it is a rehabilitation program, Thousands of men have been released from the armed. forces already and as the war progresses the men will be returned to civilian life in ever-increasing numbers. Some, of course, may go back directly to their old: trades and professions; but the vast majority will have to find them- selves anew and be fitted into a life and society for which they are quite untrained. Others, because of war experiences, will require a period of outdoor employment during which time their health, physical or mental, may be so restored that they are able again to pursue their previous civilian occupation or fit themselves for a new one. After the war is over a millien men --perhaps two million people--will be obliged to change abruptly from the armed forces or from war jobs to the ordinary routine of civilian life. In the readjustment period there will be unemployment, and public opinion will be dangerously hostile to any pro- gram similar to that pursued. during the depression years when men were, paid to. do nothing. There is plenty. war-and-six-months- thereafter. of work of a constructive nature that can be done with benefit to the state, if we will only look ahead and plan, or serious, social and economic up- heavals may result. So just as a beginning, the Ontario Government is co-operating with the Rehabilitation. Committee at Ottawa to make a sam- ple survey of a suitable area in On- tario to défgtmine how many men can be employed, what tasks are involved in the restoration of a countryside, how much it will cost and what will |be the benefit to the community and the state. ' It is probable that the area drained by the Ganaraska River and its tribu- taries will be' chosen for the initial study. The Ganaraska River empties into Lake Ontario through the town of Port Hope and drains approximate- ly 75,000 acres lying largely in the townships of Clarke. and Hope in Durham County. The upper reaches of this stretch of country drained by the Ganaraska embrace considerable areas of light land upon which a pro- fitable agriculture can no longer be conducted. It has heen seriously de- forested. Wind and water erosion are continuing the destruction and added to. this are flood damages to bridges, roads and especially to 'the town of Port Hope. The Town has suffered on several occasions from very serious floods which cause a periodic loss to «y and Reconstruction hundred: thousand dollars. : A considerable portion of the upper part of the Ganaraska watershed is now unfit for successful agriculture and also contains many areas of al- ready idle land suitable for forestry. | There are also limited areas of wood- i land which, if improved and extended, | Would help to safeguard the head waters of tributary streams. Erosion is rampant in many places, and the control .of . this alone would furnish much employment in a reconstruction program. These main factors and others .of less importance can well be combined in a complete conservation study. Since the Ganaraska water- shed presents thése "possibilities with- in a comparatively small area, easy of access and centrally located, it is an ideal location for the initial study. District Governor E. W. Crawford, of Bowmanville, was elected District Governor of In- ternational Lions for District A3 at their convention in Toronto last week. This is an important district of 25 clubs from Toronto to Port Hope and north to Peterboro and Barrie. Mr, Crawford is mechanical engineer at the local Goodyear Plant. He is well qualified to fill the office of District Governor as he is a Past President of Bowmanville Lions Club and a Past District Secretary. This is the second timig' the Bowmanville Club has been thus honoured, as J. J. Brown was elected D.G. several years ago. As a further proof of the aggressiveness of its members, Charlie Carter was_ also honoured recently in being elected Deputy District Governor of this zone. TRANSFERRED TO COBOURG Announcement was made by Hon, H. C. Nixon, Provincial Treasurer, that the Ontario Government has made arrangements to transfer the Ontario Training School for Girls, now located at Galt, to Cobourg. The buildings at Galt are being loaned to the Department of National Defense, Navy Services, for the duration of tho war. - The Government has leased the property in Cobourg known as the Me- Cook estate for the duration of the lease calls for possession August Ist and as soon as necessary alterations 'are completed the staff and pupils will be moved. It is expected that this Iwill be around August 15th, GANDHI'S WARNING Bombay, Aug. 3.--India's national- ist leader Mohandas K. Gandhi warn- ed the United Nations that "we know if India doesn't become free now, hid- den discontent will burst forth into a welcome to the Japanese should they effect a landing." "We feel," he wrote in his news- paper, Harijan, "that such an event would be a calamity of the first mag- nitude; but-we can avoid it if India gains her freedom." « The All-India Congress Party is to reach a final decision next Friday on Mr. Gandhi's projected non-violence campaign against the British for fail- ure to give India immediate indepen. dence. Mr. 'Gandhi wrote in his newspaper that the "chorus of indignation" from Britain and the United States over his plans for a civil disobedience campaign would not deter India. [The All-India Congress Party is a dominant Hindu group and does not repredent the Moslem or other minor- ities. Britain has promised India postwar independence.] 1 ; 0 a rs a' ey SINTER R I WRAY 7 REN The
