While the cost might be less than the Arrow; the same objections would prevail. If the Arrow was destined to be ob- solete before it went lido service, the same thing is more than true for any of the U.S. fighters—none of which are its match. Moreover, none of these planes would provide the range required to meet the new threat from the manned bomber, outlined by De- fence Minister Pearkes himself, with the "flying bomb" which can be fired up to 1,000 miles away from its target by an aircraft. We could install another type of missle, but there are none in pro- duction that would offer any im- provement over the Bomarc, which was really on the way to being killed less because of any funda- mental defects in its performance than because time had passed it by. We could abandon our air de- fences entirely and rely solely on the deterrent force to prevent the outbreak of war. The latter policy has been re- commended with growing force • in Canada as the only one that made any sense in an age when there was no real defence except the deterrent. With it gone the sug- gestion that Canada should become completely neutral and devote its defence funds to waging the fight for men's minds by increased for- eign aid to under -developed coun- tries, or stick to a purely conven- tional force which would be turned over to the United Nations to pre- vent little wars from becoming big ones. Canada is not neutral and not apt to become neutral. The United Nations does not have any perman- ent international. police force now, nor has it shown any real desire to have one. If, as all the authorities insist, the retaliatory power of the U.S. is the free world's best defence against attack then perhaps .the greatest contribution this country can make is to help maintain it. The U.S. for years has been bear- ing a much heavier defence load than Canada and the disparity be- tween the two countries has been growing as the Canadian defence budget• has continued to decrease, while that of the United States has moved upwards under the pressure of costs for ICBM's and ballistic missile warning systems. It would be an awful blow -to Canada's national pride to confine its main defence contribution to helping to pay part of the cost of the deterrent, but a large measure of sovereignty in the field, of de- fence has been surrendered al- ready. Considering the threat that faces Canada and the rest of the world —oblivion—it may well be that 19th century concepts of sovereignty are already far out of date. The British House of Commons has already been told by its new Defence ,Minister that the nuclear ICBM World'is too big a league for Britain to play in, and that Bri- thin could no longer afford to main- tain an independent nuclear deter- rent. The fact that the senior Am- erican ally cannot maintain an in- dependent defence posture may re- sult in a British effort to strength- en the NATO role in defence strate- gy as a counterweight to the U.S. Pentagon. Canadian initiative and participation in such an effort ap- pears to be the only alternative to complete Canadian dependence on • American defence policies. The lawyer informed his client, "I have arranged a 'settlement with your husband that is fair to both of you." "Fair to both?" she stormed. "I could have done that myself!

The corresponding secretary read Seaforth Member Is Vice -President Establishment of regional plan- ning boards to co-ordinate activi- ties of small-scale organizations was advocated last Wednesday by Norman Pearson, Burlington dis- trict planning .dirertor. Mt'. Pearson, speaking at the annual membership meeting of the Mid -Western Ontario Development Association at Stratford, said it was unfortunate that small plan- ning boards were fumbling through lack of trained staff and adequate finances to carry out their projects and found themselves frequently frustrated by some other groups just a few miles outside their plan- ning areas. The meeting was attended by Seaforth representative' Ross Sav- auge. Mr. Savauge was also elect- ed third vice-presidentof 'the p e re- gional association. He is a director of Huron County, Zone 1, of which Seaforth mayor, B. F. Christie, is secretary -treasurer. The speaker forecast this section of Ontario in the next 20 years would see building and expansion equiva- lent to all that has taken place since the country was first settled. Elmer W. Goebel, association manager, in his annual report,,said the goal in co-operation and plan- ning would be reached when muni- cipal leaders put aside the fear of losing their individual identities. He added that such a situation was, however, just wishful thinking. He did have one announcement that has passed the wishful think- ing stage: The MODA plans, the next few months, toiublish an industrial promotion booklet which may prove helpful to local industrial commissions and simi- lar groups. William McKenzie, of Exeter, in- coming president, suggested the mid -western rou should start group studying possible need for process- ing plants.. Goderich harbor facil- ity expansion if traffic warrants, and maybe establishment of an agricultural experimental station. Paris Club Visits Seaforth Lions Seaforth Lions at their Monday evening dinner meeting enjoyed a visit from the Paris Lions Club, which came by chartered bus, 35 members strong. When Lions get together they seem to have a very hilarious time, and this event was no exception. One of the Lions of- ficers is called the Tail Twister, and he seems to take a fiendish delight in twisting tails, in other words, twisting money by fifies out of the members to the vast enjoy- ment of those members he passes over, temporarily. But no one is immune. This was a triplehe' ded night. In addition'to the Paris visit, it was Fisherman Night and also nomination night. The chairman was Lion Ed. Keating, who had difficulty in keeping dontrol of two raging Tail Twisters. However, he managed to have Lion Mel Clarke introduce Mr. Elwood Epps, of Clinton, who showed, movies of fishing trips in Northern Ontario, and commented on the pictures with considerable humour. The 'chair was then turned over to Lion Clarence Wood, president of the Paris Club, who introduced Lion Dick Foulds who had re- cently returned from a vacation trip to Hawaii bringing movies al- so of some highlights of his trip. He showed scenic beauty and bath- ing beauties, both of which had considerable interest for his audi- ence—altogether a very fine even- ing. The Paris Club visit was arrang- ed by Lion Bill Moore, of the To- ronto -Dominion Bank, who was president of the 'Paris club before coming to Seaforth,—(Contributed). thank -you notes from Mrs. J. K. Cornish, Mrs. V� Haugh and Mrs. Robert Allan. Miss M. Swan read a paper on Christian Citizenship. Associate members' meeting will be held in June, with Mrs. Moffatt in charge. It will be an evening meeting, and lunch will be served. Mrs. L. Wilson read a short art- icle on "Our Parents: How Do We Care For Them?" Mrs. Lindsay Eyre and :rifts. T. B. Baird had charge of the study book, "Press in Africa and Radio and Television." Many papers are printed ,in English and the differ- ent African dialect's, and the publi- cations reflect the lives of the read- ers. The advertisements follow the trend of English papers. The radio has played an important part in their lives. News that used to take days, or even weeks to get to the farther corners, new reaches them by radio in minutes. Many women are broadcasters. Hospitals and agriculture are benefitted greatly by outside broadcasts. Mrs. Scott thanked the ladies for their part in the programe and closed the meeting with prayer for the missionary. Council Acts (Continued from Page 1) line would be quite shallow at the south end, -as the existing line is only three feet below the ground. Council left the matter in the Jjands of the committee to .contact the engineer and find out if the plan seemed feasible. The cost, said Mr„ Turnbull, would probably be about $11,000. It would be necessary to have an early start on this, he said; if it was to be finished by September school opening. Following a request from Mrs. F. Fingland, organizer of the Hur- on County World Refugee Week campaign, Mayor B. F. Christie was instructed to proclaim the period May 16 to 21 World Re- fugee Week in Seaforth. A renewal of hawkers' and ped- dlars' licence was granted to C. Leonhardt. Permission was grant- ed to allow a mobile van to be set up in Seaforth once a month by';a hearing aid company. The matter of a fee is to be discussed with the town solicitors. Highland Shoes were given per- mission to make a transfer sale of the old public school., which they use as a Warehouse, to the parent company, J. A. Johnson, Ltd. The permission was granted with the same stipulations as the original agreement—that the town be noti- fied before any resale, and be giv- en an opportunity to buy back the building. A grant of $500. was passed for Seaforth LionsClub to aidin. h b the 1 operation of Seaforth Lions Park, following consideration of the fin- ancial statement supplied by the club. Building permits, totalling $9,725, were granted to: George Broome; residence, $7,000; R. J. Boussey, garage, $1,009; Ben Van der •Akker, garage, •$100; L. F. Ford, carport, $300; W. L. O'Shea, carport, $300; M. Scarlett, repairs, $300; Dr. J. C. MacLennan, repairs, $600; Unit- ed Dairy and Poultry Co-operative, changes, $125. The special committee, set up to consider the building byblaw, were given permission to order application forms and permits. They are also to interview the ap- plicants who had answered a re- quest for a building inspector. Ap- plying were John F, Scott, John G. Lansink, John J. Clarke, Clinton, Austin Matheson and Harold Ma- loney. At the present time, council was told by Clerk D. H. Wilson, the building inspector receives 50 per cent of the permit fee. The grpup discussed the building question and decided the building inspector could issue permits while the council only passed them to make them official. Mayor Christie said either the building inspector or fire chief have the authority to stop con- struction at any time. A by-law, granting farm land re- bates to 14 owners in Seaforth, was given the necessary three readings. The rebates are given on lands of five acres or more located inside the municipality which are used solely as farm Jands. The rebate is 10 mills on the farm property. Prior to adjournment at 10:40, the Clerk reported the Separate school tax requisition was in as were the Public School and High School but some work was still needed before a tax rate could be struck. The public school request was the same as last year, while the high school was up two mills. The busi- hess rate wasn't ready, he said, as the rate was struck on the cur- rent year's assessment, and this wasn't filed yet. lief acct ¢28 • H A 'Schaefer Son, relief acct., 460; Ii, 11911191,114� relief sect., $20,74, 'Wm, Marruter, relief acct., $22 77•.

"With full employment, a treas- ury -overflowing, a record of good management, and a country so completely united (that it could even stand the strain of a Tory Government), the Liberals were forced to step ut of the picture in 1957. It would take a large volume of books to contain all the prom- ises made by the Tbries—a very slim one to record those that were kept," charged the speaker. Con- tinuing, he said, "They started in 1957 on one of the greatest spend- ing sprees in the history of Can- ada, with absolutely no regard as to the source of the revenue. They have increased taxes, deficits and debt. If the government does not manage our national' household well, all businesses suffer—and we are suffering some of the effects right now." Referring to national defence, Mr. Pickersgill said that anyone who has heard the word "Bomarc" can realize that the government has absolutely no idea what it is doing, or why. He said, "What is now clear is that the Americans are banning therBomarc, and put- ting new emphasis in fighter inter- ception. Mr. Diefenbaker, himself, destroyed the Arrow — and they haven't got one that is as good as it. As Lester Pearson pointed out just today (Friday), 'we would be very glad to have the- Arrow now'.' Regarding immigration, the for- mer minister :said that the last year he was in that position, Can- ada had the largest immigration' since 1913—and the largest British immigration in that time—and that practically all found jobs. "Last year we had the lowest i igra- tion in years, and at the ver best there were some 300,000 Canadians. unemployed. Within the past week, Prime Minister Diefenbaker in addressing.: the Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce in London, Eng- land, was quoted as having said: "This is going to be a good year; we can handle tens of thousands of immigrants." "What has happened to the big promises made by the Conserva- tives when in opposition and in their first years of office: to the Canadian farmer, the promise of "parity, not charity, and a fair. share of the national income?" The actual share of the farmer was lower in 1959 than in 1958.• As a result of the bacon and eggs pol- icy of Mr. Harkness, the federal minister of agriculture, and Elston" Cardiff, M.P., Huron, parliamen- tary secretary, with their new de- ficiency payments, the farmers are going to be still worse off in 1960. "We'must find a market outside our country for our products, and unles we can export one-third of what we produce, we are lost. We can not find a solution to this problem by building a wall around our country." In conclusion, Mr. Pickersgill said that the St. Laurent Govern- ment gave Canada a good govern- ment. The Tory policy is to promise people what they like to hear. The Liberals are more con- cerned with the contents of the 'package—not the picture on the outside. The president of the Western Ontario North Liberal Association, Hugh Hawkins, Clinton, chaired the meeting, while Mr. Pickersgill was introduced by Beecher Men- zies, Clinton, a newly -elected vice- president of the Huron Liberal As- sociation. Appreciation was ex- tended to the guest speaker by a veteran Liberal, Hugh Hill, Gode- rith. The meeting adopted a report of. a nominating committee presented` by Hugh Hill, Goderich.
