COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1949 The Plan for the National Capital CANADIANS, WE ARE CERTAIN, want to see their beautiful capital city of Ottawa one of the finest capitals in the entire world, Jacques Creber's report: on the Plan for the National Capital, as presented to the Fed- eral. Government, provides details of large- scale, long-range improvements designed to make Ottawa into a well-planned and efficient city, and a capital which will reflect Cahada's achievements and status as a nation and be a source of pride to all Canadians. The Plan, which is the result of three years work by Mr. Greber and his Canedian • assistants, J. M. Kitchen, MBE, MRAIC, Ot- tawa, and Edouard Fiset, MRAIC, lePLGP', Quebec City, is described as a chart to guide the future growth of the Capital in the best interest of the Canadian people and of Ottawa, Hull and the 28 other towns, villages and •.cra1, municipalities in the 900 -square -mile National Capital District. • It foresees and provides for an ultimate population of ebout half a million within a five -mile radius of the Parliament Buildings: A "green belt", zoned for agricultural use or as permanent open space, surrounds the future built up limits of the Capital and serves the double purpose of limiting the ultimate urban growth and ensuring a permanent source of market garden end farm produce for the urban area. The population of Greater Ottawa and Hull is now about 250,000 and trends indicate it will reach 400,000 by the end of the century. Careful attention has been given in the plans to the present and future needs of the Capital as the centre of the Dominion's law and government and the home of its national institutions, and sites are recommended for new federal buildings and institutions to be built as the need for them arises. The Capital's basic planning problems, legacy of nearly a century of uneoetrorled industrial, commercial, transportation and resi- dential development without regard., for eco- nomic expansion Or future needs, or for its - functions as a capital, ere to be solved by a series of comprehensive, long range re -plan- ning projects. Largest of these is the plan to remove the present network of railway lines from the downtown areas of the city and re- locate them in a loop• around the south and east edges of Ottawa and the north and west edges of Hull. Linked with this scheme is a proposal to relocate industries now scattered along the railway lines throughout the city in new in- dustrial areas along the new rail lines. Abandoned railway rights-of-way throughout the city will become roads and form the basis of a new system of' arterial traffic routes which will relieve present downtown congestion. Unlike Washington, capital of the United States, and Canberra, in Australia, the Federal government has no jurisdiction over the muni- cipalities in the Cepltal District and the new plan can be carried out only with the full co-operation of Ottawa, Hull and the other municipalities concerned, and the provinces of Ontario end Qubeec. This applies particularly to the zoning legislation necessary to the suc- cess of the pian and the report recommends immediate steps to draw up the necessary bylaws. As the means of protecting Canada's in- vestment in its Capital and ensuring that future development is placed on a/sound and economic basis, the new Capital Plan is a matter of interest to all Canadians. Editorial Comment ... THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY—The reason a dog has so many friends is that his tail wags instead of his tongue. A hearty welcome to all our friends from all over the County of Huron on "Clinton Day," Saturday, May 14. "Clinton Day—Saving Day!" ought to be a pretty good slogan for the big event which is being held here this Saturday. The Department of Highways suggests you be sure your car is in condition for safe spring_ and -summer driving. Check the braises, lights, tires, steering mechanism, windshield wiper and other safety features. Help check acci- dents—the life you save may be your own. An interesting little booklet, sketching chronologically the history of the Royal Can- adian Air Force, has been produced in con- nection with the recently -observed Silver Jubilee of the RCAF. The Editor is in receipt of a copy and a letter from the Director of Public Relations for the Chief of the Air Staff in which he . expresses thanks for publicity given at the time of the 25th Anniversary. Most encouraging was the contention of Dr, E. G. Plevo, University of Western On- tario professor, in his address at the Chamber of Commerce banquet, that the "middle towns" of Canada—are on their way up and nothing can hold them back except the indifference of their citizens and lack of planning by their lenders. Truly, "a town is not a static thing; it is a living organism." Let's have same more speeches of the nature of Dr. Pleva's! rIH °tilt TIRE alas sy g4.;;4" F�us4 j (By W. A. G. Thurston, Strat- ford, Zone Forester for Huron and Perth) (This article is the seventh of a series written for local farmers. In too many cases the woodiot is not considered a valuable part of the farm. A woodiot oan be made a distinct asset and can provide much material that is of value for use on the farm and for sale). FARM FORESTRY Planting may be used as a means of introducing more valuable species into a wcodlot, if the ex- isting species are of low commer- cial value. If, for any reason, planting is necessary in a woodiot, great care msut be taken to ensure survival of the planted trees, else one's work may be done without achieving results. Many species of trees can not be grown in shade, since they need plenty of sunlight to promote growth. In a woodiot, one should plant young trees only in the openings, or around the sides where they can get an abundance of sunlight. Certain species can withstand a certain amount of shade, spruce being one of these. However, to be sure of not attempting to plant species that won't survive in shade, it is best to consult your Zone Forester. If punning to plant in a wood - 10, it must be realized that the There may be circumstances existing in some woodlots which necessitate the 'planting of trees. In general, however, this is not often necessary, If a woodiot has been heavily pastured for years, and is very open, with few trees left, plant- ing may be' the only way to get back a new stand of trees. Large openings may exist from previous logging operations, and for some reason have not become restock- ed with trees. In such a case, planting is a suitable remedy, W E, l lawan has purcliaaed St. Chtucli are: honorary Wad - George lidbecton'e;'.barber shop, Miss 'Winnie TVtc1G[ath .received a very painful injury wlien she slipped and hurt her knee cap.

You don't do it that way, of course. Like everybody else with a bank account—there are seven million of them—you simply get out your pen, write cheques and leave all the bookkeeping to your bank. That's the modern way ... easy, simple, safe. Handling and recording your ehequing transactions is an important job. Your bank must do it right—or a competing bank will. You'll see to that! Suppose there were no competition ... Could you expect the same efficiency, courtesy, eagerness to earn your goodwill? State monopoly of banks would wipe out competition and would open your bank account to the eye of the state official.
