BY MARK BARKER 461B The Great Lakes, the world's greatest inland waterway, provides 1,200 miles.---• extremely cheap and safe ' bulk transport. Centrally located in the greatest industrial complex of the world, the Great Lakes transportation system supplies industry with raw materials and ships -its finished products. Lacking many local 'aw materials, the heartland depends '•• heavily on , the --„.Lakes transportation system. Iron ore, Coal and limestone brought in from areas around the lakes, supply the heartland's steel • industry which is 36% of the' world's steel: Besides ' these catgiies, - 'there is -grain, ..salt; petroleum, pulp, newsprint, cement and a great variety of finished and semi=finished goods comprising the major Great Lakes traffic. Many natural, ports dot the shorelines, of the lakes and surrounding these the many industries' have ,sprung up. From . these•ports, a very complete rail and. highway system links other centres. The unique type of cargo, weather, harbour facilities etc. found in the lakes, has led to the develop -Merit' of an- equally unique 'vessel. The "Laker” fills most of the present needs in' the 'Great Lakes Transportation system. Some of these- "lakers" 'reach 1,000 feet in length, although most are 730 -feet in length. These 730 ft; vessels can cart' -,1,000.,000 bushels `of `grain or 25,000 tohs'of iron ore,, Besides Ring an important gap in North America's transportation system the Great Lakes provide Canadians with a supply of fresh water fish and 4 • Canada with a product ,for export. Commercial fishing in the Great Lakes although declining drastically, in the past 20 years, still employs about 3,5Q0 men and 1,600 vessels. Modern 60 ft, steel -hulled deisel driven. fishing tugs have now replaced the old steam -powered wooden hull tugs. Radar, '-depth . ,,Sounders, ship' to snore; ship to ship comrnunication.s, along with a scientific knowledge M_of "fish Nhabits :.have increased the -fis/rtm harvests. Gi and dip nets are each used for differenr , i2ecies. One of'; the major problems of the fishing industry is the lamprey eel. This • parasite gained entrance into the lakes through the .Welland Canal. The total detrition of Lake -Trout end Whitefish almost resulted. Now with special poisons,• weir and .electric.. weir,- the spawning of the eel has almost been checked. Other. forms of pollution, especially that of •' •industrial -wastes` -. have hastened the natural aging process in' the Great Lakes- tremendously. An early maturing could end the entire existence of the ,'lakes lb: - the future. Whether through ,;aging or ,• poisoning, pollution will destroy 'tlie usefulness of the' lakes. These lakes are so valuable to North America, that if they are destroyed the entire economy would be in danger, A group, of Indian students from Moose Factory, Ontario, were in ,Goderich last week and were greeted by His, Worship Mayor Harry Worsell.
