A surplus .of over half a 'Million
dollars for the Province of On,
tario was forecast by Provincial
Treasurer Dana, porter when he
presented the Etidget to the .I-Tense

and hospitals. lie asserted that
these increases would be met with-

Some $88,000,040 will be spent
on Ontario's highways in 1956.
Money raised through gasoline

fees comes to almost $150,000,000.
One of the largest increased ex-
penditures is for Ontario's Ind-

The debate• on the Speech from
the Throne concluded last week.
At that time Mr. Harry Worton,
Liberal, Wellington, asserted that
he felt the province brought great
hardship to citizens by delaying
payments from the Unsatisfied

them to costly litigation in order
to get paid. Mr. John Spence,
Liberal, Kent East, made a plea
for marketing assistance for farm-

The federal government's part
in civil defence is mainly to co-
ordinate provincial plans with the
over-:all plan of the country in
event of an enemy attack, It must
provide direction, assistance, train-
ing, But, as Health Minister Paul
Martin has said, "civil defence
cannot be imposed from the top,"
"No goverment—not even the
federal government—can do this
job alone," he said in a recent
speech. Under Canada's constitu-
tional setup, the job of organizing
the civilian population so that it
can protect itself in event of a
disaster such as nuclear war falls
to each level of government—fed-
eral, provincial, municipal.
The federal government recog-
nized the need of civil defence in
Canada as far back as 1948 when
it appointed F. F. Worthington as
federal civil defence co-ordinator.

At that time civil defence came
under jurisdiction of the. Depart-
ment of National Defence. It was
switched to the Department of
Health and Welfare, with Mr,
Martin as the responsible cabinet
minister, in 1951. A federal-provin-
cial conference of civil defence
officials agreed on which govern-
ment would share what responsi-
bilities.
It was agreed that the Federal
government would operate a cent-
ral training school for civil de-
fence' specialists. The Canadian
Civil Defence College was estab-
lished at Arnprior, Ont., 40 miles
northwest of Ottawa. More than
7,000 persons have been trained by
the federal civil defence organiza-
tion so far and Canada now has
some 72,000 fulitime C.D. workers
including firemen, policemen, etc.,
where normal jobs fulfill a C.D.
function and 107,000 volunteers.
Courses are held at the college
continuously except for the month
of August when it closes for va-
cation. Its staff of about 20, has
given courses to police chiefs, fire
chiefs, doctors, industrial person-
nel and many other groups from
across Canada.
Through the Health Depart-
ment's information services the
federal C.D. organization also has
carried on an intensive educational
campaign to acquaint Canadians
with the importance and function
of civil defence.
The federal government is res-
ponsible for cooperation with
United States C.D. planners and
establishment of a warning system
to tip the country of any possible
enemy attack. It is stockpiling me-
dical supplies at strategic points
across Canada. It has provided es-
sential C.D. equipment, training
manuals and publications.
It agreed to carry out research
on civil defence through govern-
attack supplies.
3. Coordinate the nationwide
jobs of other federal agencies and
keep the prime minister and the
people informed of the attack's
effects.
4. Participate in decisions con-
cerning emergency restoration of
communications, transportation
and other essential functions.
But in the words of Mr. Martin
again:
"Senior government can offer•
guidance, planning and financial
assistance, but the successful pro-
secution of a civil defence program,
depends, in the last analysis, on
the participation of individual citi-
zens and on community leader-
ship."

Small Papers Are
Gaining Readers
Small Canadian newspapers are
increasing their readership despite
competition from television, W. H.
Cranston, Midland, president of'
the Class "A" Newspapers Assoc-
iation, said in a Toronto meeting.
"The 62 papers in our organiza-
tion now have a combined circula-
tion of about 250,000 and handle
more than $5,000,000 in advertis-
ing lineage a year," he said.
"To a great extent radio, tele-
vision and some of the larger city
dailies are becoming media of en-
tertainment rather than informa-
tion, but small town newspapers
are still concentrating on local!
news and putting greater emphasis
on editorial research."
He said the editorial pages of
the smaller newspapers are as a,
result attracting more readers and
consequently becoming a greater-
"influence" in community life.
