Following are reports of the panel discussion and the highlights of the various speeches, written by students attending the conference. By RON GRASDAHL The first speaker at the conference was Dr. J.B. ,Robinson from the University of Guelph. His approach to the problem was of a biological nature attempting to show us the reason why we have such pollution problems. He stated that the problem is created by concentration in the agricultural industry. For example, we no longer have our livestock spread over large areas Sunday visitors with Mr. & Mrs. John Kingma were Mr. & Mrs. Cliff McDonald and family, Exeter; Mr. & Mrs. Sam Kingma, Exeter; Mr. & Mrs. Wesley Hodgson and family, Centralia; Harry and Johnny at home, Mr. & Mrs. Peter Toornstra and family, Hensall and John Vander Ley of Woodstock.

Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Baker but are now concentrated in a more confined zone making the disposal of their wastes a greater and growing problem. The concentration of industry in one place because of availability of transportation routes and labour was another example. He points out that of the 7 million Ontario residents five million live in urban areas. He then described the different types of natural decomposition of wastes, mainly Aerobic and Anaerabic Decomposition pointing out the problems and advantages of each of the systems. He also went into some detail on the carbon and Nitrogen Cycles. Probably two things which the audience found quite interesting in his talk was first he states that after the carbon is removed at sewage disposal buildings the nitrogen and phosphorous reconstruct later which fact make the sewage disposal plants almost useless. Secondly he states that Lake Erie in its polluted state is losing 70,000 years of its life. By RUTH ANN KING The second speaker at the conference was Mr. Chad Day, a Geography professor on the faculty of Geog. at the University of Western Ontario.

He had six headings under which he spoke — Regional Organization of Water Management, Administration, Legal action on polluters, Detection of Pollutants ..and Water Quality standards, culture — since we are all polluters, and the Education of people in regard to pollution. He was very dissatisfied with the general way that the agencies with regard to water pollution worked in United States and said that Canada's management is much more efficient. As all the speakers suggested, he felt that Ontario is far ahead of surrounding areas in the control of its water resources. By RICHARD TURKHEIM Mr. Cathcart of the Ontario Water Resources Commission traced the history of the Commission, noted the aims and accomplishments of the provincial body and some of the problems that have been encountered. In 1956, it was realized a commission on water control and quality was needed and the following year a regulatory board was set up. OWRC works co-operatively with municipal authorities and during the past 12 years has spent 1.6 billion dollars on water improvement. Water is now sold to municipalities on a per thousand gallonage rate. A total of 233 sewage projects are now being put forward in the province at an estimated cost of 500 million dollars. It is the ultimate hope of the Commission to equip every community with first and secondary sewage treatment facilities. The OWRC official said new industries are no problem when it comes to sewage control, but difficulty is encountered in getting the co-operation of established firms. One paper mill and there are 43 in Ontario, pollutes water as much as 200,000 people. Of 1,800 industries in the province, 300 do not meet OWRC standards but are being pushed along now. OWRC has also made regulations pertaining to pleasure craft. Dumping of raw sewage into lakes and rivers is prohibited. There are 55 pump-out stations available for pleasure craft in Ontario. By Joyce Dayman The panel discussion was informative and controversial for it allowed the audience, the students of SHDHS to fire stored-up questions at the guest speakers. The panel consisted of Dr. Robinson, University of Guelph, Prof. C. Day, University of Western Ontario, Mr. Cathcart, OWRC, Mr. Urquhart, Manager of Canadian Canners, and Tom Prout, a Grade 12 student. Mr. Vince Elliott acted as chairman. Mr. Elliott started the panel discussion by firing some well-prepared, if not embarrassing questions at the speakers. Tom Prout told us about his participation in a Conservation School, outside of Toronto. He explained that he was taught about the different land and conservation practices. He said that he saw new flood control dams under construction. Then the students had a chance to put the speakers "under attack." Many new aspects were brought forth in the questions. The questions reflected the genuine concern of the students on the pollution problems. As one of the students said: "One person's food, is another's poison." Thus the panel discussion ended, with I all feeling they had belleve, !earned something of interest really that day.
