Speaking to the 10th anniver- sary dinner meeting of the In. dustrial Management Club of South Waterloo here, Mr. Winters said that these new jobs would Kincardine Quits Pool KINCARDINE -A meeting of citizens and council decided to landscape and beautify Connaught Stadium park as a centennial project rather than build a $3$,- 000 swimming pool beside the lake. The special meetingwas called after a pool campaign to raise $21,000 ended with only $5,000. There 'were many objections to an expensive swimming pool project for a town on Lake Huron. No. cost estimate was given for the new project.

Describing the present trade picture, Mr. Winters noted that exports have advanced 20 per cent to date this year over last and realization of the anticipated $1(1;., 000,OQO,000 level for 1966 would establish a mark 70 per cent greater than the totabof just five years ago. Canada's economic advance in recent years has been "virtually unprecedented" and a major share of this success can be traced directly to Canada's mer- chandise exports, he said. • The minister cited the success as proof of Canadian producers' ability to compete in international markets as never before. Further improvement in Can- ada's trade performance is essential and depends 'largely upon exports of highly man- ufactured goods, Mr. Winters declared. "Manufactures now count for a smaller share o f Canadian ex- ports and larger share of Can. adian imports than in any other industrial country," he said. This situation exists although exports of manufactured goods have grown faster than industrial ma- terials and primary products in the world trading community. He expressed concern over the inflationary tendencies and cost ' increases that' are outstripping productivity gains by "an un- comfortably wide margin." "Should these tendencies per- sist, there could be a serious erosion in Canada's competitive position in international mark- ets," he said. Mr. Winters suggested that improved productivity depended Yl to a large 'extent on finding 4"the., best possible ways of using our human resources." Canada has been "remarkably successful in attracting skill. •ed workers from abroad, but' *lit is unlikely that we will be able to rely as heavily on these •sources -in the-futur•.'' _"The:,_ d fo;° quatifted people has created "an explosion of leartling," said Mr . Winters, that will more than double, the numbers in Canadian univei}sit. les by 1975. This will require vast spending programs to ex- pand the university plants. Citing the Bladen Commission. report on Financing Higher Ed- ucation in Canada, , the Minister noted that it .had estimated con- servatively that expenditures for universities ten years from now would be over $2,000,000,000. Despite this enbrmous expan sion, he said, only one of 12 of university -age are at univer- sity in Canada, compared to one half in the Malted States. The Minister • described the federal proposal to assist pro- vinces with education costs through a special arrangement of unconditional fiscal transfers calculated in relation to the operating costs for post- secondary, education, but also urged greater financial participa• tion by industry to inture "the freedom of our institutions -from all arbitrary influence, includ- ing government." "Corporate ,business manaee. ment has •a long and distinguished history of rendering aid to high- er education in this country. We may take satisfaction-tha t our expanded educational facilities will help to bring us closer to our ultimate objective--a'rich and fruitful life for -all Canadians," he concluded. • MY SINCERE APPRECIATION FOR YOUR SUPPORT FRED W.
