The three-day carnival concludes on Fri- day night. For more than twenty-five years the people of this district—and many more from other districts—have learned to know and appreciate the work of the Seaforth Lions Club. And they have become accustomed to showing their appreciation in a prac- tical manner by their support of the Lions summer carnival. By their attendance at the carni- val they become, in fact, partners with the members of the club in their work, on behalf of not only the boys and girls, but all the people of the community. Additionally of course those that attend the carnival will enjoy an outstanding program and be enabled to take part in the many games and amusements that will be in operation. Probably- the most widely known feature of the Lions Club work i.5 the park and swimming pool. Here each year thousands upon thousands of -people, within a radius of fifty miles of Seaforth, look forward t6 picnics at the park, or attendance at the ball games, or a swim in the pool. The work of providing services and improving the facilities at the park in order that those who use it may better enjoy themselves, is never fin- ished. This year, for instance, an area to the north of the park is be- ing developed and shortly will be available for the use of picnic groups. Each year sees the picnic facili- ties of the park in increasing de- mand. This year groups from Kin- cardine to St. Marys, and from Gode- rich to Kitchener, have either held picnics or have reserved dates. The Seaway The economic development of Can- ada is dependent to a great extent on an early start being made on the St. Lawrence seaway. Canada has indicated its willingness to get the project under way, but United States participation is being blocked by cer- tain interests in that country. Canadian speakers take advantage of every opportunity to recommend the seaway, and one of the best bits of promotion work done in some time was 'a recent speech by Prime Minister St. Laurent in his address at Northwestern University. The University is at Evanston, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Mr. St. Laurent drew upon the be- ginnings of white settlement in the Illinois country to make his point. "It was some three hundred years ago," he said, "that a Canadian mis- sionary, Father Marquette, becatlle the first white marl to sojourn on this site,' and was it not a Canadian trader, James Kinzie, born in the City of Quebec, my home for over forty years, who is reputed to be the father of Chicago? These early Can- adian connections with Chicago have never been lost; in fact we in Canada are doing all we can to make them deeper by pressing for the improv- ing of the water route between Que- bec and Chicago." - Other Lions Club projects which are well known throughout the dis- trict include Christmas activities, when Santa visits those families who through no fault of their own, might otherwise have had a barren festive season. Assistance is given regular- ly to other worthy projects, such as the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and juvenile activities, in - ,eluding Boy Scouts and Girl Guide Another Lions service—but one that that operates quietly—is the club's crippled children's work. For obvious reasons the club doesn't broadcast details of the crippled children that ,Brough the years have benefitted from Lions Club assistance. But that doesn't alter the fact that many chil- dren who might otherwise have been condemned to a life of inactivity have, as a result of the work of the Seaforth Lions Club, been restored to a point where they have been en- abled to take their proper place in the community. You can have a personal share in the work of the Lions Club by patronizing the carnival, and by buy- ing as generously as possible carnival tickets. • As Others See It Women for many years have prob- ably been thinking it, but it remain- ed for a plump -Little grandmother from Ackworth, Iowa, to put it in words.

M., in Winnipeg Free Freak) In Alberta, as in the other' eut on outside 'materials., will be Prairie Provinces, it has been the the nickel refinery of Sherritt custom for years to consider this part of Canada as the area which makes other parts rich. By toil and struggle our primary, produc- ers have wrung their products from the soil and the forest, ex - Ported them to other parts of Can- ada or abroad where they were Processed by secondary industries at a good profit. Now, however, you do not hear nearly so much of this hewers -o - wood, drawers -of -water kind of talk in Alberta.— particularly in this part of Alberta (Edmonton). For Alberta, wealthy almost be- yond measure in the resources for primary production, is on its way to becoming an intermediate pro- ducer on a big scale, combining with its own basic products those Gordon Mines. ,It will also be in the Edmonton area. Like the cel- lulose plant, its cost will be much greater than the cost of the com- pany's primary producing and pro- cess n g facilities. It will cost about $17.5 millions as against Sherritt Gordon's proposed expen- ditures of about $9 millions on its copper -nickel mine development, plant and townsite at Lynn Lake in northern Manitoba and its Lau- rie river power development. The company plans to have both the Manitoba and Alberta ends of the project in operation by the last quarter of 1953. Its copper con- centrate oncentrate will be custom smelted at the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelt- ing plant at Flin Flon, but the nick- el concentrate which will form the greatest part of Lynn Lake's pro - from other provinces. , It is indicative of this develop -duction, will be brouhht to the AI - I berta refinery, which will employ ment that the two biggest indivi- I dual industrial projects slated for! the company's new ammonia leach - Alberta in the next year or so will mg process of smelting.

It is to be built Just' ammonia sulphate fertilizer. east of Edmonton, on the south' In both these great develop- ments, the magnet which has drawn them to Alberta is the province's resources of oil and petroleum gas. The gas, besides supplying power, also is the source of many chemicals vital to the cel- lulose or nickel refining industries. Just as in Texas where the petro chemical industry became a multi- million dollar outgrowth of gas and petroleum production, so tdo is it becoming in Alberta. The prov- ince will soon become an import- ant producer of sulphur, of which there isa world • shortage and which is essential to the produc- shore of the North Saskatchewan river, Work has already started clear- ing the ground preparatory to con- struction and the plant is expect- ed to be built and ready for opera- tion early in 1953. Its cost was originally estimated at $41 millions gut a more recent estimate places t at about $50 millions. This plant will produce acetic icid and industrial alcohols from the by-products of natural gas. The acetic acid will be combined with wood pulp from the new $27 mil- lion dissolving pulp plant of Col- umbia Cellulose Co. Ltd.

The second big project, depend- • Work Between High School and College (From the T'3r oto Star) loii. 'Milton Gregg, Minister of Labor, gave sound advice to parents and youths recently on the subject of preparing for a career. He said a 16 or 17 -year-old high school graduate should try to choose his future car- eer and then go out and work for about two years at what he can get in that general field. Then, if he still has the urge, he should go back and start at a university. Many parents do their children a disservice by sending them directly from high school to university. Teen- agers often have only vague or un- tested ideas of what they want to do. Lacking a definite goal, they tend to fritter away their time at university, gaining little either of practical in- formation or of the intellectual and cultural enrichment available there. There are, of course, many excep- tions—students who achieve correct orientation at an early age and need continuity of study for maximum benefit. But it is probably true that a majority of university. , students should not be there at the time they are there, and some should never go at all. - A few years of work between high school and college can be helpful in several ways. It convinces most young people of the advantages of further "book learning." It teaches others, those whose aptitudes are -es- sentially practical, that university would be a mistake. It tends to confirm or convert pre- vious ideas as to the right occupa- tion, so that the individual who de- cides to go to university makes good use of the opportunity. A year or two of experience in earning a living may mean that it is an adult instead of an adolescent who enters the col- lege classroom. Mr. Gregg speaks from experience in this matter. For three years prior to his entering the government in 1947, he was the popular president of the University of New Brunswick. There, as in universities across the land, war veterans studying on D.V. A. grants showed the scholastic way to the students fresh out of high school. Many veterans had been away from the books so long that they were academically "rusty," but the handicap was more than offset in most cases by their . mature outlook and assuredsense of direction.

As, an approach, he figures in terms of a 200 -acre Mis- souri farm, with five 40 -acre fields, level, not subject to erosion, and farmed under a good rotation of corn, oats, wheat, grass,, but .with all crops sold as such, not fed to livestock. He found that to re- place, artificially, theminerals re- moved by such cropping, the fer- tilizer bill would come to $8.15 a year. In other words, on this 200 - acre farm, "the fertility equivalent of $1,630 is taken out of the soil annually." To return some of the fertility by feeding liastock would help; but even then more than $500 a year in mineral nutrients, A1- brecht figured, would walk off the place to market, or be trucked off as Milk and livestock. Without livestock, the farm in question, al- though secure against erosion, will be "sold out of its fertility in 200 years." RURALITE • Wingham, Ont., July 28, 1951.
