PIPELINE BILL PASSES AT OTTAWA
The Trains -Canada pipeline bill has passed
into law at Ottawa, after weeks of strong
opposition amounting to. determined obstruc-
tion. Thoughout its passage it had the solid
support of the Government members and the
Social Credit group, while in opposition the
Conservatives and the C.C.F. members were
almost as solidly allied., The ranks of the
opposition parties were broken only by the
defection of Mr. Nickle, one of the Conserva-
tive members f -roan ('algary, who spoke effec-
tively in support of the bill..
The Governmentt, is advancing large sums
to the private company which is engaging to
construct the pipeline and bring natural gas
from the oil fields of Alberta to Ontario and
Quebec, and the Ontario Ura-vernnrent is eon -
EDIT
tributing $35,000,000 to the heavy cost of
putting the pipeline through the sparsely - set-
tled territory of Northern Ontario.
Alberta needs an outlet for its natural
gas and is losing millions every year it is with-
out one. Ontario is expected to provide the
principal market in Central Canada. To es-
tablish. the connection. between Alberta and
Ontario is no small undertaking, and as Can-
adian capital was not forthcoming the Govern-
ment finally made the arrangement with Trans-
Canada,, which has IT. S. capital behind it. If
the company fails to live up to the terms of a
stiff contract the Government is empowered
to take over the pipeline and either lease it to
another company or turn it over to a Crown
company.
R1AL NOTES

shows quite a number of new orchards. The
ravage caused in the apple orchards of this
county by the great frost of 1934 may never
be completely repaired, but it is gratifying to
see these new -plantings which indicate that
Huron may again be one of the great apple -
growing counties.

The destruction of the power statism on
the New York side of the Niagara River, with
an estimated loss of $100,000,000, following
the recent accident on the Ontario side which
temporarily blacked out a considerable part of
