Hello Folks;
Well, once again the throne speech
debate has ended in the House of
Commons after the vote on the Pro
gressive Conservative Amendment
which was defeated by 99 to 69. .This
vote climaxed a debate which had
taken 15 sitting days in the House of
Commons and as I indicated earlier,
was interrupted twice for amend
ments to the Unemployment Insurance
Act and Germany’s entry into the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
Since this debate has been com
pleted Parliament has taken up the
legislation program of the session. A
week or two ago the Minister of Fin
ance tabled his estimates for the year
ended 31st. of March, 1956, These esti
mates indicated a total expenditure
for the year of $4,727, 866,393.as com
pared with $4,869,641,882 for the year
ended March the 31st., 1955, a reduc
tion of $141,775,4829 although this re
duction could be taken up in supple
mentary estimates which to date
have’t been tabled. This is a reduction
of approximately 3% of the total ex
penditure and it can readily be seen
that it will mean little or no reduc
tion in the program of heavy federal
taxation that seems to be necessary to
keep the ponderous machinery of this
Government in operation.
On Wednesday, February 16 th
there was a debate on Conservation.
I had intended to speak on this ques
tion due'to the fact that in the esti
mates of this year there was an item
of one million dollars which is to pro
vide for a contribution to the cost of
constructing a dam on the Conestoga
river at Glen Allen for the purpose
of flood control and water conserva
tion in accordance with the terms of
the agreement entered into between
Canada and the Province of Ontario.
This debate was brought on by a re
solution by Mr. Herridge, the Hon.
Member from Kobtney-West, and it
read that in the opinion of this House
advisibility of calling a Dominion-
Provincial Conference on Conserva-
the Government should consider the
tion with a view to the establishment
of a national policy on soil, forest and
water conservation dnd land uses for
Canada.
I was definitely interested in this
question because as a recent editorial
in the Fergus News-Record indicated
in 1957 when the before-mentioned
basis to prevent the further loss and
depletion of our natural resources and
that all Governments at all levels may
be co-ordinated to produce the best
results in this great field.
As I indicated, I was not able to
speak on this question. It came upon
Wednesday afternoon, which is our
short day in the House, and was talk
ed out*by the Minister of Agriculture
who, in one of his very eloquent
speeches, describing the many things
that this Government has done in the
past, gave no indication that they
would give any direction in the mat
ter. However, when the item comes up
in the estimates I hope once again to
have the opportunity of entering into,
this debate because I feel, that the
pattern which has been followed by
the Grand River Conservation Auth
ority is one that would commend itself
to many municipalities throughout
Canada. I would like to commend this
Commission on the interest they have
taken in all phases of this question
in connection with which I would like
to quote from an article appearing in
a magazine entitled “BUSHNEWS”,
which says that Ontario now has 17
tree farms as the result of the certi
fication of 11 wood lots in the Grand
Valley District of Southern Ontario.
The woodlots, totalling 423 acres, were
officially certified as tree farms at a
ceremony in % Galt sponsored by the
Huron District Tree Farm Committee
in the Grand Valley Conservation
Authority. During the ceremony one
of the speakers indicated that there
now was a direct market in Southern
Ontario for pulpwood from the Tree
Farms the Ontario Paper Company is
planning to purchase 10,000 cords of
pulpwood in the Southern Ontario
area next year.
WASTE WOOD GIVEN
FREE TO JOBLESS
The Board of Parks Management
and the welfare adniinistrator’s de
partment are doing their own little
bit towards easing the load on the
unemployed in Sarnia.
Because of the combined efforts of
the two departments, the unemployed
are receiving free wood for the kitchen
stove. Welfare Administrator F. W.
Holloway and H. B.’ Savage of the
Parks Department, figured it all out
weeks ago.
Some 60 acres of city-owned land
bounded by Michigan avenue and
Christina street north, were set aside
for future parks development. About
40 acres of this land will be used by
the city for dumping refuse.
But what to do with the trees that
had to be cut down? Give it to the
unemployed. This was the answer.

I would like to pay tribute to those
public-spirited citizens who, with no
momentary returns for themselves,
laboured tirelessly in this great
scheme of conserving the flood waters
of the Grand and thus preventing the
excessive flooding, erosion, possible
loss of life and of property which has
become the pattern not only in Can
ada but also in other countries of the
world where no comprehensive plan
of conservation has been developed. I
along, with a great many other Mem

this resolution because we feel that
in the best interests of Canada as our
population increases and as danger
of run-off and erosion of top soil be
