Smith survey; B. M. Ross, 0:L.. The following motions were pass- ed: That the minutes of the May 7 and May 21 meetings be adopted as read; that in response to Fred Regier's written request to have the open portion of the Haberer Drain cleaned out at the time the Zurich Drain. South is being clean- ed out, the council proceed to tak• action; that we approve of the sub- division of part of Lot No. 13, L. R.W., owned •by G. and a. Smith, the plan having been submitted by S. W. Archibald, O.L.S., be approv- ed and that By -Law No, 10, 1951, approving and restricting the use of the land subdivided, be passed. That a notice be placed in the Zurich Herald stating that persons doing any work on the roads of Hay Township will not receive pay unless authorized by the road sup- erintendent to do the work; that William Watson be hired to spray Hay Township roads at $4.00 per hour, Wm. Watson to supply his own helper; that the clerk proceed with Engineer S. W. Archibald's re- ports on the Zurich Drain South, and the Schwalm Drain, according to the Municipal Drainage Act of Ontario; that the account received from Peter Deichert for costs of seeding the south portion of John St. in the Volland Survey, Zurich, and then destroyed through the construction of the road, same be referred back to the Trustees of Zurich Police Village. That owing to the effect of the Great Lakes (Continued from Page 2) spent $300,000;000 over a period of years tor dredging the river below Montreal, constructing the present canal system between Montreal and Lake Ontario and building the Welland Canal. The United States has provided locks at the Sault and dredged channels in our St Clair and Detroit Rivers. The latest estimate..ot the total cost of the Great Lakes -St. Lawr- ence Seaway, including the devel- opment of 2,200,000 horsepower in the International Rapids Section stands at $806,000;000. The United States share will be somewhat more than half. Since Canada will receive credit for what has already been spent on the completion of the Welland Canal, this share will be only about one-quarter, or $204,- 000,000. Navigation and power develop- ment factors have been compelling arguments for the completion of the Seaway. Defence considera- tions now give added urgency to the project. Let us take the ex- ample of steel which is a vital sin- ew of modern war. For many years the North Amer- ican steel ,industry has depended on high grade ore from the Mesabi Range to the south of Lake Super- ior. As this ore becomes depleted we will have to turn more and more to the newly -discovered fields of Quebec and Labrador. To take these rich deposits from Seven Is- lands to the steelprod.ucing centres of the Great Lakes the cheapest route at any time—and in wartime the safest—would be up the pro- tected passage which the Seaway would provide, There are other important peace- time and defence reasons for the improvement of the St. Lawrence both for navigation and for power. Among the principal defence con- siderations are these: 1.;It would provide a short, pro- tected' route from the heart of North America to overseas ports. 2. Naval and merchant ship- building could be carried on in the comparatively safety of .the ship- building centres of the Great Lakes. 3. It would encourage greater in- dustrial development in the less vulnerable inland areas. • 4. It would yield additional sup- plies of hydro -electric power essen- tial, to the expansion of our mili- tary strength. . 5. It Would make possible a great dispersal of facilities that are vital to our industrial defence potential. 6. It would supplement normal transportation facilities which would inevitably be overloaded in time of war. The Canada -United States Perm- anent Joint Board. on Defence have recommended the early completion of the Seaway as a vital measure for the defence of this continent. In the Board's opinion: "The addi- tion which the project would make to our military potential would far outweigh the Minister of Transport has again emphasized that our coun-initial expenditure in - man- power, money and critical mater- ials." I have attem-pted to tell you just what the Great Lakes -St. Lawrence Seaway is and to indicate its im- portance from the standpoint of navigation, power and defence. I have also given you some idea of the physical dimensions and finan- cial implications of the project. This is all very well, but where do we stand today? What are the proSpects for its speedy implemen- tation? As I see it, the present position Is .something like this. While the piencillieal development of the St.. Lawrence system began hundreds of Years ago, a complete plan in - Val -Ong Canadian and United States partkipation. was not developed un- til tth Oat the tint ,of this century, :,•Bittee IOW at least the project has Atift:itlie full and cohtiritiolifl sup- banatia.

Within the last month my colleague, Mr. Chevrier, the Mini- ster of Transport. .has again em- phasized that our country stands ready to proceed with the project just as soon as the agreement of the United States can be obtained. What, then, is the situation in the United States? Every Presi- dent from Harding to Truman, has endorsed the plan and has sought the approval of Congress for its execution. In 1941, Canada enter- ed into an agreement with the United States for the development of power and navigation on the St. Lawrence, This agreement was ar- rived at only after years of careful study by competent engineers from both sides of our border, President Truman has asked Congress to rat- ify this agreement and it is now before the Public Works Commit- tee' of the United States House of Representatives. In the evidence presented before this Committee, Mr. Charles E. Wilson, United States Mobilization Chief and former President of the General Electric Company, stated that the St. Lawrence project was so attractive that, if he had been free, he would have liked to under- take it as a business venture. Moreover. the two bodies that are concerned with matters of mutual interest along our boundary — the International Joint Commission and the Canada -United States Perman- ent Joint Board on Defence, have both gone on public record that the Great Lakes -St. Lawrence Seaway should be promptly proceeded with, The United States Public Works , 'CLINTON The Sunday School executive of Ontario Street Church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.,,Hog- garth on Thursday eVening, with 20 members present and the super- intendent, Mr. C. Stewart, presid- ing. The hymn, "Blest Be the Tie that Binds" and prayer by Mr. W.' M. Aiken, opened the meeting. The minutes of the previous meeting were received as read and routine business attended to. The treas- urer reported a substantial balance on hand. It was decided to hold the•annual picnic on July 18 at the Lions Park, Seaforth, and com- mittees were appointed to carry it through. Entertain Societies The W.M.S. of Ontario Street Church entertained the Baby Band and Mission Band at their June meeting on Monday, June 12. Mrs. McMurray presided for the busi- ness part of the meeting and Mrs. W. J. Woolfrey conducted the de- votional period, the theme of which was "Worship and Work," using Mark 6:1-5, John 17:1-5 and Acts 18, as Scripture passages to ac- company her topic. A bale, valued at 5160, and weighing 220 pounds, shipped on June 2, was reported by the supply secretary. The July meeting will be an outdoor meeting at the home of Mrs. G. R. Fear. A piano solo was contributed by Mrs. E. Rad- ford and Mrs. W. M. Aiken gave a report of the Conference Branch meeting, held in Chatham May 8. Reports of Miss Russel's talk, Rev. N. Mackenzie's, returned mission- ary from China, address, and Rev. Ann Graham's address on "Great- er Works," at this conference, proved very interesting. The 'Mission Band president, Douglas Batkin, then conducted their meeting, while the Band pre- sented their program, consisting af songs, a piano solo, readings and a playlet. Lunch was served the children and their mothers, and the Mizpah benediction closed the meeting. University enrolment reached the all-time peak of 85000 in Canada in 1947-48; it is now about 70,000. Committee is expected to complete its hearings sometime this month. It is my earnest hope—and that of the Canadian Government — that Congress will ratify the 1941 agree - men without delay so that this pro- ject can at last get under way. Throughout the entire course of human history, sealanes have been the very lifeline of trade and com- merce' between peoples. Canada, like otner great trading nations, re- lies heavily on water for transport. The proposed Great Lakes -St. Law- rence Seaway would, in peacetime, be of inestimable value to our na- tional economy. As a citizen of Windsor, I know how much it would benefit this area. The St. Lawrence Seaway, i n peacetime would strengthen prosperity in Canada and in the United States. In time of danger to our democra- cies, it would powerfully reinforce the defences of this continent. • .• .."•'. • • •••, • . • •• • . r • . • TREIRTRON EXPOSITOR. 4.M.' said report wilt be reconsidered Huron Presbytensal July 3 meeting of the colt:00M Council made the •purchase Of a Plan Ral y in Auburn one -ton Ford truck.

In the early summer, sprays of small inconspicuous whitish flow- ers appear in the axils of some plants, usually followed by clusters of greenish -yellow fruits about the size and hardness of peas. With autumn many of the leaves turn orange, red and scarlet, but with the cool frosty nights they curl and turn brown. As the leaves drop the fruit becomes more noticeable and it has turned from its summer green -yellow color to a white and waxy appearance.
