THE POLLUTION PROBLEM
of entire watersheds. If plenty ofegood, clean
water is necessary for our. future development,
then we ,shbuld have no choice 'but to get on
with the job. The need must be obvious. Other,
less developed areas offer an easier, but.i.by "no
means less important ,job-that of, preventive
a*Ction, where we can apply the lessons -already
leaned, and to -Save ourselves the future expense
of the measures which are now needed in much,
'of Seuthern Ontario. -
• "The job, then, seems, to fail into two main
phases: first, correction, or pollution abatement,
to' make immediate use of our present waters
while we undertake the long-term watershed,
rehabilitation that is needed to maintain and
improve the quantity of the supply; and second-
ly, oreventiOn, the proper management of water-
sheds which now afford plenty of usable water.
Everyone has a stake in the waters' of thiS
Province. It is up to each of us to see that
,it is handled carefully:
If the( second half" of this century is to
belong to Canada, 'we in Ontario can assure
ourselves of our share of its benefits by making
our lakes and rivers serve us for industry, power,
recreation, food production, and all other uses,
each use compatible with the othel. Above all,
we should' never lose sight of the aesthetic, with
which there is no dollars,and-cents comparison.
With all our spending, there are still some
things that money cannot Way."
ED. NOTE: The contents of the ,above art-
icle 'were thoroughly discussed at a weekend
convention in July at the Huron Fish and Game
ConsetVation club house, Clinton, of Zone Six of
the Federation Of ''Anglers and Hunters of On-
tario.
And there is a Flame of Love in my
heart."
Mumtaz Sha Nawaz:
"I hold the oar of Faith
(By R. II. Millest, bn.the only-August -issue 'of /
Sylva, ea, publication issued by the Ontario,
Department of Lands and Forests).
, "IT HAS 13EE;sT •SAID many times during '
the past few years that the second half of the
Twentieth Century belongs to Canada. No other
country in the free world can inatchrher minerals`
and renewable natural resources, the materials
on which modern civilization depends, afid to
'which much of. the world is now lopking.
"Perhaps our greatest natural fesource, and
the one which is limiting development in many
'parts of- th@ world, is water, the very _basis' for
much of Ontario's present prominence in the
Canadian scene, The people of Ontario have
been blessed with one of the greatest supplies
of good, clean water in the world, a water supply
so bountiful that, many of us have taken it for
granted. Look at a map „„of the Proviiiee-the
Great Lakes and their connecting waterways,
the St. Lawrence, the Ottawa, and countless
'thousands of inlaid lakes and rivers, all add up
to more 'than enough to ensure even the most
optimistically expected needs of the Province.
Foreign' Industrialists recognize' the value of
such water supplies, and many are looking to .
Ontario because of it in planning future expan-
sion.
"Perhaps then, it is , time to take a long,
Serious look at this vital resource, and see to it
that we assure ourselves of its best possible uses,
not only for ourselves but for future generations,
If we do so, 'ire can immediately see mistakes
which have been' made and, on looking more
closely, can see where these mistakes are now
limiting industrial and agricultural" development
and, in fact, where they are actually retarding
the growth of some parts of our large commun-
ities. Those who are familiar with the intensely
farmed and industrialized parts' of Southern On-
tario know this only too well, The task in such
areas is now one of correction through costly
pollution control measures and the rehabilitation

"The Bible and the newspaper,
go together as "musts" for today's
reading public. goes' without
saying that the Bible should be
studied assiduously and faithfully
by Christians. It is their source
book for religion and life. It is
the aothorative word for all sorts
of situations and for any 'day. It
contains the drama of the unfold-
ing of God's purpose for the re-
demption of 'the World. by Christ"
But the newspapers should also be--
read and studied assiduously". So
M stated the L.M.S. Chronicle.
"The reputable papers• and per-
iodicals provide news and accounts
of people, • events, movements,
problems to which the Bible
speaks," The Chronicle continues.
An interest in the world mission
of the church is, evident' in the
secular press' from the noteworthy
amount., of space given religious
matters these days. Much that is
not directly of religious. nature IS
'relevant to the overseas work of
the church.
Recently most informative art-
icles have appeared on Africa, •In-
dia and the Far East. These pro-
vide valuable background for the
study of areas- where the church
is planting the truths of the

AN IMPRESSIVE list of dawning -deaths
in Ontario- over last weekend brings the cdm-
pelling thought that, "If those people had been.
able to swim well, they quite probably would not
have been drowned.'
- Where does One learn to Swim well? What
better place than a supervised pool. with capable
instructors?
Clinton will have that supervised' pool and
instructors if the plans presently being made by
the swimming pool fund committee are carried
out and if everyone in Clinton and the commun-
ity pitches in to help. •
The need'for a pool is evident. There re-
mains only the adt of getting it done.
Another thought - particularly"for those
making plans for the building. What about ten,
fifteen or twenty years froni now, when it is
found practical to heat the pool, and build over
it so that swimming can be done the year
round? After all 'it seems rather unusual to
invest $35,000 in a piece' of prope,rty which will
be used only 100 days in the year. Why not
make arrangements now, so that heating equip-
ment and a building can,„, be erected without
making any changes in the initial structure?

It is only by learning how to think, and by

position for enjoying a happy life. • This is a
very, important reason for wishing to continue
at schabl and get an educatien., Education,
- when of the right sort, helps you to, see things
clearly, to distinguish betWeen the essential and
the trivial, and to give you a- frame of mind
