The Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children in co-operation with 226 service clubs, are currently holding their annual Easter Seal campaign to raise funds for the many services required for the needy crippled children of Ontario who total more than 15.000. There are five specially designed and operated summer camps for crippled children that will accom- modate more than 1,200 boys and girls for two and three week holi- days this summer. These children will be taken away from the gruel- ing heat of the summer to exper- ience a real camp programme with l the emphasis on participation by the camper. Here. in these fairy- tale -like settings the young crippled boy from the city finds the motiv- ation to do for himself that which he had not thought possible, A polio child may learn to swim. As a matter of fact, every summer many of these children pass their junior and intermediate Red Cross swimming test. Perhaps the most important part of their unforgettable days at FOR DEPENDABLE HEAT A!' Winter Long LORNE E. HAY Locker Service—Roe Feeds Phone 10 (Collect) Henson camp—even more valuable than the theapeutic value—is the boost given to their moral. When a boy cooks his own break- fast of hani and eggs over an open fire in the hills—that is something to talk about to his friends long after the camps have closed down and the dreary winter months have set in. When a boy hits a home - run on a camp baseball team, or catches a fish for the first time—or when a little girl takes part in a camp play or diligently makes her mother a string of beads, or her father a pair of Indian Moccasins, they become an intrical part of the camp games and a real part of the game of. life. For three memorable and sun - drenched weeks, they forget that they are one of the wheelchair— crutch—brace brigade, and become one of the gang. Easter Seal con- tributions make the whole thing possible. The campaign runs until April 2nd, and needs the support of ev- eryone who has received their Easter Seals. 0 Highway Allotments The Ontario Department o f Highways has released details in- volving construction and mainten- ance covering the allotments made to various municipalities for ex- penditures during 1961-62.

MacNaughton, MPP for Huron, was heard over a network of Ontario radio stations last Fri- day night, speaking with Hon, Wil- liam Goodfellow, the Ontario Min- ister of Agriculture, on the sub- ject, "The intelligent use of Land and Water." After being introduced to the radio audience by Mr. Goodfellow, Mr. MacNaughton went on to say: I propose to discuss with you briefly — some facts concerning what I regard as our most impor- tant natural resources, I refer to water. Water Here in Ontario we are virtually surrounded by water, but neverthe- less we make the observation "wa- ter, water everywhere—but some- times, in fact all too frequently— not enough to drink" Also I ani sure you will agree with me when I say — while no one will deny that water is our most importnat com- modity—we are all prone to take it for granted. In all too many cir- cumstances it is the rule, rather than the exception—"that we nev- er miss the water till the well runs dry." Singularly enough, there are areas of the Province — partic- ularly in south western Ontario, where, as a result of low rainfall and other factors — wells have lit- erally "gone dry." An interesting commentary on water is found in an article reprin- ted from the Kiplinger Magazine entitled "The Fabulous Fifteen Years Ahead." The article states that—"Of all the problems that will plague governments in North Am- erica between now and 1975, few will equal those which relate to water supply." " Consumption In Ontario current water con- sumption is about 100 gallons per capita per day. In a few short years consumption per capita will increase to around 125 gallons per day, This does not appear in pro- per perspective until the figure is translated into totals. On this bas- is, however, it simply means that the present daily consumption in Ontario is 500 million gallons daily and in ten to fifteen years this figure could increase to between 600 million and 750 million gallons every day of the year. The industrial thirst for water will be fantastic. Huge quantities are used now, particularly in such key industries as oil refineries and pulp and paper mills. Food pro- escsing and chemical industries al- so consume large quantities of wa- ter. But, the demand is bound to increase as we spread our horizons industrially.

Ontario municipalities already are spending in the vicinity of $80 million a year on such plants and on sewers, a figure which is bound to increase. This would indicate that the next five years would see about $470 million spent in Ontar- io in this connection if the present rate of increase in yearly expen- ditures continued. Here in Ontario, the problem was not only recognized five short years ago, but was translated into action in 1957 when the Ontario Water Resources Commission was set up by Legislative action and when The Ontario Water Resources Commis- sion Act was placed on the statute books of the Province. Since then, great strides have been made in the direction of re- clamation of water that is presently unfit for use by means of sewage treatment facilities. Already in the short space of four years combin- ed OWRC-municipal or straight municipal water supply and sewage works have involved an estimated cost of close to $450 million, While this is a very commendable record, it would be dangerous indeed to rest on our laurels. It will take the concerted action of the Com- mission and its municipal allies with the OWRC's complete facilit- ies 'just to stay even" with the pro- blem, and not only the continuing efforts of the Commission, the mun- icipalities, but also the co-oper- ation of all conservation minded people if we are to forge ahead. That is why we on the Ontario Water Resources Commission will lend full co-operation to the over- all plans described by the Minister of Agriculture who preceded me in this broadcast. You and I know—we all should know, that as a national resource water occupies a position of prim- ary importance because if there is no water—there is no life. The time for the inteIIigent use of wa- ter is now.
