Conservation discussed
at high school session
13y Ann Creech
Did you know that there are
enough cars in Southern Ontario
to take every man, woman and
child for a ride, using only the
front seat?
This was just one of many
thought-provoking statements
heard at the Conservation Con-
ference, held at SHDHS, Decem-
ber 13. This was the first time
that a conference Of this nature
had been conducted in this area.
The conference was conducted
in a seminar atmosphere and
dealt with soil conservation and
land uses in general.
Professor D. W. Hoffman, from
the Soil Science Department at
Guelph, entitled his address,
"Wise Use of Land—How do we
know whether we are or are not
using land wisely?"
We must first teary what re-
sources are available and so use
them, One method of obtaining
this information is to take a soil
inventory or survey to learn

what resources are present. Soils
are characterized by their form
and shape.
They are studied by inspecting
a soil profile which is a vertical
cut in the soil, whereby the
definite soil layers and colors
are revealed.
A soil profile also tells whether
the soil will be moist or dry.
Soils are named for the area in
which they are found. Thus the
soil in this area is called Huron
clay loam,
A soil man maps and clas-
sifies different types of soils.
The prime method of classifying
soils is by the soil capabilities
classification. The four areas
under this system are forestry,
wildlife, recreation and agri-
culture.
Each system has seven classes
and these in turn have sub-
classes. These classes are a
great asset in comprehensive
planning for the use of soils.
He concluded his address by
Students hear about conservation
Students at South Huron District High School attended a Conservation conference at the school last Wed-
nesday. Above, one of the guest panelists, Dr, E. G, Pleva, of the University of Western Ontario is shown
chatting with Scott Burton, Ken Westlake, Clarence Ayotte, Bill Dinney, Fred Simmons and Don Wolfe.

stating that the capabilities clas-
sification is not to show the most
profitable uses of land, but in-
stead to provide inventories for
better land use.
Mr. A. Latornell, field staff
supervisor of the Conservation
Branch, Department of Resour-
ces and Energy, was the next
Speaker. His topic for the Con-
ference was the "Who of Con-
servation". This area involves
many governmental departments
at all levels.
Mr. Latornell's interpretation
Of soil conservation is "total
land use". He proceded to give
an outline of various government
levels which express concern
over conservation. lie mentioned
only a few of the many agencies
and organizations involved.
Five departments established
by the Federal government are
the Canadian Department of Agri-
culture, the Canadian Department
of Forestry and Rural Develop-
ment, ARDA, the one we are
most familiar with, is a scheme
to encourage better use of re-
sources of land in rural areas.
It is a joint effort of the federal
and provincial governments.

re,
Here's wishing you a bright and merry
Christmas and a Yuletide season
sparkling with good cheer.
to all. Giving of this nature can
take the form of visits to shut-
ins, preparation of Christmas
Boxes for those less fortunate
than yourselves, telephone calls
and greetings of cheer to those
who will celebrate Christmas
alone.
Christmas is the excitement
generated by the presence of
gifts under the tree, which cul-
minates in the wrapping cere-
mony that involves all families
on Christmas morning.
Christmas is the singing of
carols, be it in Church, in your
home, in a pageant or in a group
of carollers. "0 Holy Night",
"Ave Maria", "Joy to the
World", and "White Christmas"
resound through the crystal air,
involving everyone in the spirit
of Christmas.
The most important part of
Christmas is Christ. This is the
reason I have left this until the
last. Christmas is to be a joyous
celebration of the birth of Christ.
The purpose of Christmas is not
to see how many gifts you can
accumulate; nor is it to appease
your voracious appetite.
Let us not forget that Christ-
mas is Christ's birthday. Christ
offers himself as a help to any-
one who requests it. In the world
of 1967 this is the bestChristmas
present, as such, that any of us
could ever request.
May I take this opportunity
to wish you and yours a very
Merry Christmas and the hap-
piest and healthiest of New Years.
Christmas is hearing the happy
voices of children as they prepare
for a Christmas pageant at school
or Sunday school.
Christmas is, as the song says,
chestnuts roasting on an open
fire and Jack Frost nipping at
your nose.
Christmas is receiving cards
from friends you only hear from
at this time of year, and wonder-
ing if you missed anyone on your
list.
Christmas is decorating a tree
and the outside of your home,
then standing back and admiring
your work.
Christmas is glistening snow
and the sound of sleighbells on
the frosty air, as horses wend
their way through the billows
with their precious cargoes.
Christmas is the sm ell of
turkey, cranberries, pudding and
all the other good foods which a
Christmas dinner consists of,
being emitted from the kitchen.
Christmas is writing a letter
to Santa Claus and making sure
that Pepsi and cookies are left
on a plate for him Christmas
Eve.
Christmas is remembering
those people who aren't as for-
tunate as you and your family.
Christmas is the time for giv-
ing. Giving can be done mone-
tarily by donations to the Sal-
vation Army, Muscular Dystrophy
Tuberculosis Fund or any other
worthwhile organization. Giving
of oneself is of greater benefit

dependent upon the ways in which
we use our resources. This re-
sponsibility belongs to the indiv-
idual person. "The wise man-
agement of resources is a con-
stant challenge to everyone who
lives in this country," stated
Dr. Pleva.
Dr. Pleva concluded by saying
that much has yet to be learned
and then this must be applied to
our present knowledge.
The day's activities were
brought to a close by a panel
discussion. Members of the panel
were Prof. Hoffman, Mr. Lator-
nell, Dr. Pleva, John Goddard,
a Grade 12 student and a local
farm operator—Mr. Ian McAl-
lister. Mr. J. Wooden was mod-
erator.
Topics discussed ranged from
the involvement of young people
in planning regional development,
to satellite cities.
Those of us who entered the
conference room a bit skeptical
about the topic, had our skeptic-
ism removed and left with a new
and clearer realization of what
an important role conservation
plays in the lives of us all,
OUTLINES WORK
The Canadian Department of
Transport controls and finances
the building of major airports
which finance certain areas.
The Central Mortgage and
Housing Corporation control fin-
ancial arrangements which can
promote industry.
The Canadian government
through these departments offers
grants to the provinces for the
development of conservation,
The provincial government has
also organized various depart-
ments dealing with conservation.
The Department of Agriculture
and Food is responsible for soil
management and use across On-
tario.
The Department of Lands and
Forests is concerned with soil
management in the areas of for-
estry and wild-life, reforestation
and forestry nurseries for re-
forestation.
The Department of Municipal
Affairs is responsible for the
planning of land use in Ontario.
The OWRC influences urban
development by making H2O re-
sources available.
The Department of Energy and
Resources management admin-
isters the Conservation Author-
ities Act.
Area planning boards are the
major conservation organiz-
ations in Municipal Government.
Every municipality should have
a plan if there is any indication
of expansion in that area.
Universities contribute
through research. Students are
trained in resource management.
Geography departments and plan-
ning staffs are set up.
Mr. Latornell concluded his
remarks by saying that the field
of conservation offers all types
of opportunities to people who
are willing to take the initiative.
Dr. E. Pleva, professor and
head of the Geography Depart-
ment at UWO, spoke on "Why
we must preserve our soil and
land". He entitled his address,
"Pioneering of a permanent
land".
Dr. Pleva stressed that we
must manage our resources in
such a way that man can live on
earth without destroying any of
its resources.
Dr. Pleva pointed out thatCan-
adians are in one of the most
highly favored positions in the
world. However, our climate
places a limit on agriculture.
Thus we need to produce more
food from fewer acres. There is
a limited supply of H2O in certain
areas, such as the Prairies,
which causes economic difficult-
ies.
Dr. Pleva stated that in the
21st century, 90% of all Can-
adians will live in cities or urban
centres. Cities will become reg-
ional, thus governments will have
to be on a regional basis. Satel-
lite cities will evolve.
The survival of mankind is
