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 • 'oadaceeleeeliaelezaaialraiaeleseellaerereataaeaeralieaeeer.iagreceeeleeeelPetaelsavdeeceta 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.

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. A Bankof Montreal g Canada's First Bank a.

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 From ti R. E.

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.
