Zurich Citizens News, 1964-05-28, Page 8PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1964 Cabinet Minister Visits Grand Bend Suggests Park May e Enlarged Grand Bend—The Hon. Kelso Roberts was in Grand Bend Tuesday for luncheon at the Green Forest Motor Hotel, He was on a tour of the Great Lakes shoreline, on which the Department of Lands and For- ests has a number of parks to supervise. Questioned on the possibility of the provincial government expanding the present Ipper- wash Provincial Park, the min- ister stated that he was inspect- ing it via car. and also the Pin- ery Park. Any plans he might formulate with regard to these parks, would have to come be- fore the Parks Integration Council in Toronto for decision. He spoke to a group of about 40 guests and members of the Lands and Forest staff, and noted that it would take about ten days for a "pow -wow" with the senior officials of his de- partment and with the other Judging Masses Held at Seaforth • Over 180 contestants judged 10 classes of livestock on Sat- urday, May 23, at the Seaforth Fair Grounds. High contestant in the com- petition and the winner of the Blatchford Feeds Limited tro- phy was Jim Papple, RR 4, Sea - forth, who scored 645 out of a possible 700 points. Tied for the runner-up placing were Miss Amy Stewart, RR 5, Seaforth, and Miss Deanna Dale, RR 1. Clinton. The C.N.E. shield, donated by the Canadian National Exhibi- tion Association to the high novice judge, was won by Jim :McAdam. Don McNeil, RR 6, Goderich, won the Carnation Milk Company Limited trophy for the top dairy judge. The C.I.L. trophy for the top swine judge was won by John Bradley, RR 3, Goderich. A special program in charge of summer assistant agricultur- al representative, Murray Shep- herd, was held in the afternoon for novice' judges. Instead of giving reasons for placings they were instructed by Mr. Shep- herd and several 4-1I Club lead- ers on how to judge. qvir groups involved before any de- cisions would be made. Guests included Chief Telford Adams of the Sarnia Indian Re- serve; C. E. Zanes, farmer mem- ber for Lambton East in the legislative assembly; Mayor Wilfred Cassidy, Forest; Reeve William Sitter, Thedford, of Bosanquet; Murray Gaunt, of Wingham. MPP for Huron - Bruce. Reeve Sitter brought greet- ings from his council, and told of the terrific amount of traffic which showed up in the ipper- wash areas during Sundays and holidays. "I believe, sir," he said to the minister, "that if you visited us then, you would not think so much of the beach- es in Bosanquet." Mayor Cassidy noted that his people in Forest greatly appre- ciated the existence of the parks. Chief Telford Adams, of the Sarnia Indian Reserve spoke briefly, admitting that "our forefathers, the original owners of this land, would appreciate the great improvements which the Department of Lands and Forests had made already to this area." "Grand Bend is a good place for a rest and a `breather'," said Mr. Roberts, as he ad- dressed the gathering. He not- ed that Ontario touched on all of the Great Lakes, •and there is over 3,000 miles of shoreline. "You certainly have a mag- nificent shoreline in Lambton county," said the minister, "It is wonderful white sand." The Hon. K. Roberts ex- pressed the importance of get- ting as much of the shoreline as possible under control of the province. without infringing too much on private ownership. "We have good relations with our Indian friends," he said, "and we hope to look closely at the Indian reserve at Kettle Point, and see what can be done about assisting there." "It is important that the prov- ince continue with a policy of land acquisition," he said, "to secure these lovely places for the use of the public in future years." He urged his listeners to plan their holidays to include vaca- tions in Ontario's north, and also in Eastern Ontario, to get to know their province better.

Canada appears to face only two eventual choices — either a tailspin into economic nationalism, or development •of a free trade area with our big brother to the south.

Washington rejected Canada s proposal to raise our tariff co imported auto parts. The Canadian Government has been zeroing in on the auto industry as the most obvious field in which to cut down our unfavorable trade balance with the U.S. Although Canada's total world trade picture should be in the black on imports vs. exports this year, we're still running in the red with the U.S., buying about $850 million more than we're selling there, Of this, imports of auto parts account for about $500 million. Ottawa has side-stepped the issue of higher tariffs by a com- plicated system of bonuses to Canadian car makers. They're being allowed a $1 refund on import duties for every $1 of exports. The Big 3 of the auto industry think they can boost profits 15 per cent and create up to 50,000 extra jobs by mak- ing more car parts in Canada. But the scheme is unpopular in the U.S., where it has already caused layoffs. This is one field in which the ,no- -a^.• Special Feature I U.S. is being hurt. In other fields, Canada is suffering, not- ably in U.S, restrictions on Ca- nadian lead and zinc and pres- sures against lumber imports from. Canada. There are a variety of organ- izations working to improve re- lations between the two coun- tries. Finance Minister Walter Gor- don's so far fruitless attempts to curb U.S. investment in Can- ada shook these groups to their roots—but also made Americans take a harder look at Canada's many justifiable complaints, American ownership of Cana- dian industry is now so over- powering that it is no longer realistic to talk of buying back Canada. Seventy-six per cent of foreign investment in Canada is U.S. controlled. This gives Americans control of 95 per cent of our auto industry, 90 per cent in rubber, 60 per cent in mining, 75 per cent in oil, An increasing number of thoughtful observers on both sides of the border now favor formation of a customs union or free trade area with com- plete abolition of across•the- border tariffs. Many Canadian fear eco- nomic union would lead to po- litical annexation, but it is pos- sible that free trade would strengthen our political inde- pendence. If it meant expan- sion to •the vast U.S. market to our manufacturers, such would be the case. But it must also be recognized that free trade COLONIAL STYLE 2 -Piece Chesterfield Suite Only $169 EXTRA SPECIAL — LIMITED QUANTITY Spring -Filled Mattresses REG.

Free trade into the U.S. would give Canadians the advantage of trading north and south—the Maritimes into New England, central Canada into the Mid- west, and Prairie and B.C. trade into the Northwest. Free trade with the U.S. shapes up as the big decision for Canada in the 1960s. 4,1 FOR ALL YOUR MINNEAPOLIS MOLINE MACHINERY REQUIREMENTS CONTACT US! Also Featuring the . .
