Plan Replacement Of Goderich Street Trees
During recent years, as area highways
have been rebuilt, we have seen hundreds
upon; hundreds of stately maples and
elms sacrificed to the demands of a wider
road.
Many of the trees were cut down as
work proceeded, while others since have
paid the price of severed roots and injury
from passing equipment.
In a few cases, contractors and high-
ways officials took care to preserve the
trees, but mostly they were regarded as
something to be removed as quickly as
possible. Even when the trees survived
the original construction, it seemed that'
the disruption had been too great and in
subsequent years, one after another has
died off.
Since it seems inevitable that full
grown trees must be sacrificed to highway
construction, would we not be wise to
plant new trees outside the limit of activ-
ity. We are thinking particularly of the
trees on Goderich Street, which even now
are showing the result of heavy traffic and
construction work of one kind or another.
Each year additional trees are dying and
the time cannot be far removed when,
what for generations has been a proud
.7tree-lined thoroughfare, will become a
barren strip of asphalt paving.
The answer, of course, is that ,new trees
be planted at the property line as soon as
possible, so that they may be reasonably
advanced when it becomes necessary to
remove the original trees. The task is one
which Council cannot initiate too quickly,
if a naked Goderich Street is to be avoid-
ed.
The Department of Highways, of
course, is not unaware that each slaught-
ered tree brings in its wake a wave of criti-
cism. To its credit, some steps are being
taken to replace that which has been de-
stroyed. '
In a booklet entitled, "Trees For .the
King's Highways", the department .tells
what is being done:
"Along the King's Highways and sec-
ondary highways in Ontario the Depart-
ment of Highways planted well over 46,-
000 trees in 1960. Over the past decade
the Highways Department has planted
about 1,600,000 trees and shrubs of ar-
lious species across Ontario.
"During the same period the Depart-
ment's tree -saver ' successfully removed
and replanted nearly 1,800 trees, many of
which were mature trees up to 30 feet in
heighth. Had it not been for this tree -sav-
ing device—the only one in Canada—these
trees would have been destroyed during
highway construction.
"Almost 6,000 acres or 28,556,000
square yards along highway rights-of-way
were grass seeded during 1960, using the
new mechanical seeding method whereby
the grass seed is sprayed over the area.
"As in previous years, a great variety
of trees and shrubs was planted and care
taken to locate the correct species for a
site, bearing in mind both suitability and
eye appeal.
"The sturdy and adaptable Scotch pine
leads the parade with a total of 8,765
young trees, followed by 8,198 maples of
six well -tried varieties. Coniferous, other
than Scotch pine, totalled 11,738 spread
over 23 species, some of `which, like the
Junipers, belong in the shrubbery group.
"In locations where they can be display-
ed to advantage, more oranamental trees
.and shrubs were planted, such as flower-
ing crab, barberry, lilac, honeysuckle, sil-
ver birch, weeping willow, and other eye-
catching varieties.
"It is interesting to learn that of the
46,530 trees and bushes planted, only
8,081 had to be purchased from the out-
side. The greater balance was, produced
by the Department of Lands and Forests,
or considered of local material."
Surprise
Members of Seaforth Council and
others who for many months have been
pressing ' the Ontario Water Resources
Commission to begin action on Seaforth
sewers, will be interested in a recent press
release from John C. Scott, information
officer of the OWRC.
The press release points out that 37
projects were involved in the federal -pro-
vincial
winter works subsidy program,
which concluded May 31st, and that the
projects provided 59,846 days' work for
741 men.
Then follows this statement: "OWRC
projects which received 1960-61 winter
work subsidies were" and high on the list
under Sewers appears the name "Sea -
forth."
There may have been some activity in
connection with Seaforth sewers at the
OWRC Toronto headquarters during the
winter just ended, but we doubt there
was enough to justify such a press re-
port. Certainly word of the activity never
reached here and as far as Seaforth is con-
cerned there is nothing to show for what-
ever subsidies the OWRC says were paid.
Recipe for Killing Associations
a..
Every organization has difficulty from
time to time in maintaining interest in its
activities, and in attracting members to
assume responsibilities. Sometimes this
can be pretty frustrating and can lead to
the conclusion that perhaps after all the
worry isn't worth the results.
Realizing this difficulty, the Canadian
Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors As-
sociation has listed foolproof methods of
effectively killing an association or organ-
ization, regardless of its aims.
Here is the recipe:
Get sore if you're not appointed to a
cominittee. If you do get on a commit-
tee, don't show up for committee meet-
ings.
If the chairman asks your opinion on
important matters, tell him you've noth-
ing to say. After the meeting, tell every-
one
how things ought to be.
Do only what is absolutely necessary.
When others work, complain that the or-
ganization is run by a clique.
Hold back your dues as long as possible
—or don't pay at all.
Don't bother about getting new mem-
bers. Let the secretary do it. ,
When there's a dinner, tell everyone
Money is being wasted on "blowouts" that
aecompljsh nothing. But when no din-
ners are held, say the association is dead.
Don't ask for a dinner ticket until all
sere sold. Then insist you've been cheated
out bj',yours.
1.1 you're asked to sit at the speaker'd
two, modestly refuse. If you're not ask-
eii, > reign.
• Don't 'tell the organization how it can
help x944; If it doesn't help you, resign.
If you receive service without joining,
don't think of joining.
If the association does not correct abus-
es in your neighbor's business, howl that
nothing is done. If it calls attention to
abuses in your own, resign.
Keep your eyes open for something
wrong. When you find it, resign.
At every opportunity, threaten to re-
sign and then get your friends to.'
When you attend a meeting, vote to do
something. Then go home and do the
opposite.
Agree with everything said at the meet-
ing; disagree with it outside.
When asked for information, don't give
it. Cuss the association for the incom-
pleteness of its information.
Get all the association gives you, but
don't give anything.
When everything else fails, cuss the
secretary.
At 150 M.P.H.
It may be reactionary or even cowardly
of us to view the future with such trepi-
dation, but the prospect of travelling
bumper -to -bumper at 150 m.p.h. on an
"automatic" expressway gives us the
shakes. The prediction that this guided
control of private automobiles might be
a realjty within 10 years fails to allay our
fear that no matter° how pluperfect the
\system might be we'll find coming at us
on the same strip a carload of garrulous
ladies or a confused arrival from the
backwoods. Detroit Free Press.
SUGAR
and
SPIcE
By Bill Smiley
What this country needs more
than anything, in these trying
times, is more conservatives. Now,
don't go all chalky and trembly
like that that. I don't mean Dief.
enbaker Conservatives. I mean
good, old-fashioned, conservatives.
For the past couple of decades,
"conservative" has been practical-
ly a dirty word. People were as
afraid of being considered con-
servative as they are today of be-
ing considered conformist. Lying
awake and lonely in the small
hours last night, I realized sudden-
ly, with a flash like a camera bulb,
that at heart I am a conservative.
It was such a shock that I sat
bolt upright in bed.
This woke my wife, who lurched
to her elbow, turned on her bed-
side lamp and moaned, "Whassat?"
This, in turn, disturbed my daugh-
ter, in the next room. She yelped
in her sleep, rolled over abruptly
and crushed the cat, who sleeps
beside her. He squalled and dug
his claws into her. She hollered,
All this woke Hugh, who stagger-
ed out of bed and went to the
bathroom.
* *
The sound of running water was
too much for the rest of us, and
there was a steady procession to
the place, which wound up with
me having to go down and let the
cat out. He wouldn't come back in
and twenty minutes later, standing
there shivering and calling him
and. worrying a little because we're
not sure it's a boy cat and he
might get pregnant if he was out
all night, I consigned the whole
conservative issue to the appropri-
ate place.
But this morning, on sober sec-
ond thoughts, I realized that I had
truly seen the light, that I was a
died -in -the -wool conservative. I ex-
perienced a vast wave of relief,
as though I had just emerged from
the confessional, or had just been
awakened from one of those drag-
ging, nagging, not -quite -terrifying
bad dreams.
* * *
You've no idea what a release
it was, to 'shuck off that false -face
of liberalism I've been wearing all
these years, uncomfortably. I felt
better and better as the shabby,
borrowed layers of tolerance, rea-
son, and desire for change peeled
off one by one, and left me an
honest, naked, intolerant, illogical,
prejudiced, small -c conservative.
"Oh, boy!" I chortled. "No more
having to get sore at anti-Semites.
No more having to be nice to
Irishmen or Armenians or Negroes,
unless I like them. No more having
to be tolerant of half-baked re-
ligious sects. No more pretending
that women are as smart as men."
It's wonderfully refreshing to be
able to look at life through your
sharp prejudices and emotions for
a change, after years of gazing at
it murkily through the • thumb -
printed, thick lenses loaned by
small -1 liberalisre.
No' longer, for example, must I
put up the slightest architecture,
Now I can say what I think: that
new churches look like either tents
or silos; that you can't tell 'a new
school from a new factory; that
the new split-level homes, with pic-
ture window above and garage
yawning below, resemble ,one -eyed
harpies who have just been deliv-
ered of monsters, by caesarean sec-
tion.
Oh, I'm going to enjoy my con-
servatism, I can tell you. An im-
mediate project in mind is the for-
mation of a small -c conservative
men's club, with one purpose in
view—getting women out of our
hair and back in the kitchen. We'll
start in a small way of seeking
legislation forbidding women to
smoke in public. This would keep
about 50 per cent of them at home.
Another thing that's going to
give me a lot of pleasure, in my
new life, is squaring around some
of my small -1 liberal friends.
There's one who is always com-
plaining about the lack of 'toler-
ance shown toward minorities, in enay Lake, and extending slightly
our society. Next time he opens
his mouth, I'll say, loud and clear,
"You're a fine one to talk about
tolerance, when you can't stand the
sight of your own mother-in-law!"
Next time one of these birds
starts bleating about the poor,
starving people of Asia, I'm going_
to pull out a $20 bill and suggest,
"Let's kick in $20 each and send
it to CARE, right now." That'll
turn him green.
:k * *
As a conservative, naturally I'm
going to come out pretty strong for
some things. For example—lower
taxes; cutting off the baby bonus;
dispersal of revolutionary organiz-
ations like the Women's Institute
and the Canadian Legion.
But I'm going to throw my
weight and influence just as strong-
ly against other things, such as:
letting American tourists stay in
the country between sundown and
sunrise; drinking while diving off
anything higher than a dock; beat-
ing children with anything thicker
than a pool cue.
From now on, no more hiding
behind that phony liberalism, Let
the chips fall where they may. I'm
going to proclaim my real ideas,
regardless of prejudice, lack of tol-
erance, or any of the rest of that
bolshevik jargon, I'm going all out
to preserve the status quo, and if
that doesn't work, we'll try the
quo vadis. Better stand well back
so you won't be splashed when
I'm blown to bits by a bomb hurl-
ed by some wild-eyed member of
the CCF.

When Did the Boy Scouts Appear
- in Canada?
The Boy Scouts first appeared in
Canada in 1908, the same year that
the Scout movement was being
founded in England under Lord
Baden-Powell, In 1910 a Domin-
ion Council was formed, with Earl
Grey as Chief Scout, arid every
Governor General since that time
has accepted the office of Chief
Scout. In 1914 the -Canadian Gen-
eral Council of the Boy Scouts As-
sociation was incorporated by act
of parliament. Just this year the
name was changed to the Boy
Scouts of Canada.

Was the Great Western Railway in
the West?
Not as the term is understood to-
day, for the Great Western Rail-
way was opened for traffic in 1853-
54 between the suspension bridge
over the Niagara River and Wind-
sor, Ont., by way of Hamilton and
London. Later a number of branch
lines were built to such centres as
Galt, Toronto, Guelph, Sarnia and
Petrolia. During its relatively brief
history the Great Western absorb-
ed the Wellington, Grey and Bruce
Railway; the London, Huron and
Bruce Railway; the Canada Air
Lirie Railway; and the Brantford,
Norfolk and Port Burwell Railway.
It was itself absorbed by the Grand
Trunk Railway in 1882.

What Was Distinctive About the
Kutenai Canoe?
The Kutenai Indians of south-
eastern British Columbia used a
very distinctive type of canoe. It
was made of pine or spruce bark,
with projecting underwater bow
and stern. This kind of craft has
been found nowhere else in the
world except in the Amur River
valley of Asia. The home of the
Kutenai is a high plateau between
the Selkirk Mountains and "the
Rockies, including the fertile areas
of the Kootenay River and Koot-

"Relax --I'll get the other after my coffee break."
-RFV. ROBERT H. HARPER
WHOSE OX JS GORED
There is a saying that it all de-
pends upon whose ox is gored.
With all its implications and asso-
ciations, there is much truth in
the statement. It all depends upon
one's relation to a person or ,a
thing whether or not a certain
course of action is condemned.
A person employed as a collec-
tor, while knowing the difficulties
besetting a certain man, said to
him, "A man should keep his bills
paid." Years afterward, when the
collector came to •life's end, and
an accounting was made, there
was a list of unpaid bills and a
large overdraft. Evidently, the
collector had not been as hard
upon oneself as upon others.
It all depends upon whose bill
it is that goes unpaid, whose hard
circumstances should be allowed
to plead for leniency and consid-
eration. It all depends upon whose
need should be met when kindness
and forbearance should be exer-
cised.
It all depends upon what man
is involved when "circumstances
alter cases," when we should' ex-
ercise forbearance and mix love
with mercy and justice. So we
have often heard the injunction to
put ourselves in the other fellow's
place.
Just a Thought:
We can never really give the
other fellow "his due" unless we
accept the £act that he usually has
what he considers a good reason
for doing things that we do not
agree with or consider right.
The merchant sent his bill to a
slow -paying customer with the no-
tation: "This bill is one year old."
By return mail he got a greeting
card saying, "Happy Birthday,
Bill:"
over the Rockies into Alberta And
south into the United States It
is believed that the tribe spread
west from Alberta in prehistoric
times, perhaps as a result of hos-
tility with the Blackfoot. Today in
Canada there are betwegn 400 and
500 Kutenai Indians.

Are Commodity Standards
Something New?
No, ,the story of commodity stan-
dards for the protection of the
Canadian consumer goes back to
the early colonial days. Between
1680 and 1750 the cities of Quebec
and Montreal enacted a number of
trade regulations to establish stan-
dard weights and m e a sur e s.
Among the earliest grading laws
were those enacted in Nova Scotia
between 1761 and 1790. They pro-
vided for the grading of pickled
beef and pork, pickled fish and
butter. Compulsory labelling was
introduced in the butter statute by
requiring the quality grade of the
butter — "prime," "second" or
"third"—to be branded on each
barrel or tub. Similar standards
were established for bread, which
was to be "sound, good and well
made" and was to contain certain
spa ified ingredients.
A McDUFF OTTAWA REPORT
THE MARGIN NARROWS S
OTTAWA—Federal election pro-
spects for this year faded as politi-
cians from all parties analyzed the
results of the four by-elections
held late in May.
The Conservatives were happy,
but far from elated over the re-
turns, They had expected to win
only two of the seats. The fact
that they woh three was a reason
for rejoicing, but the sharp cuts
in the Tory majorities in all four
conftituencies name as a shock, as
did, the greater overall popular
vote won by tile Liberals.
The Liberals were disappointed
they did not win at least two of
the seats. But they were pleased
with the fact that they rolled up
a greater popular vote than their
opponents. And capturing Leeds,
long a Conservative stronghold,
took the edge off their disappoint-
ment.
what impact the New Party had on
the support for the two older par-
ties. Only in the B.C. constituency
did the New Party field a candi-
date in the four by-elections.
In 1958 the C.C.F, ran segond be-
hind the Conservative winner, the
popular George Pearkes. In the by-
election last month the C.C.F,-New
Party candidate was in third place
with the Liberals moved up to
close second place immediately be-
hind the winning Conservative can-

The Conservatives won the seat
in 1958 with 18,768 votes. This
year they won by collecting only
81597 votes. The Liberal candidate
was a close second this year with
7,828 votes; while the C.0 -F. -New
