sonic U.S. interceptors to equip the
RCAF squadrons. 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!
Why do you think I hired you„"

Committees Named
For .Refugee Drive
During the week of May 16 to 21,
under the auspices of the World
Refugee Committee for Huron
County, a general canvass of all
householders in Seaforth, McKil-
lop, Tuckersmith and Hullett will
be made.

Rena Fennell, secretary -treasurer;
Mrs. J. J. Maloney, Mrs. Carmon
Rowcliffe, Miss Jean Scott and
Miss Gladys Thompson, the presi-
dents of the women's organizations

divisions, and each organization
has accepted responsibility for the
canvass in that section.
On Tuesday, May 17, the first
'Blitz' will go into effect, with the

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).

Mrs. Lindsay Eyre and :rifts. T.
B. Baird had charge of the study
book, "Press in Africa and Radio

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.

their part in the programe and
closed the meeting with prayer for

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.

pletely harmonious: The St. Laur-
ent government led Canada
through the Korean - War."
"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-
