Years ago, Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier predicted that the twenti-
eth century would belong to
Canada. In many respects his
prophecy has been coming true
before our eyes. The popula-
tion grows. Social services are
spreading and economic advan-
tages are increasing. The St.
Lawrence Seaway is bright with
commercial promise. The gen-
ius of science has rolled back
new frontiers to reveal Alberta's
oil, Ungava's ore and Deep
River's atomic energy."Canada
Unlimited" seems to be the
name by which this country is
known throughout the world.
Much has been written and
spoken concerning M.P.'s at-
tendance in the House of Com-
mons, especially since the sal-
ary increase. I was absent from
the House of Commons on Fri -

day, November the first.
Twenty-two Members had
the opportunity to observe two
other areas where the genius of
science is rolling back new
frontiers. Members of the Fed-
eral Government must under-
stand problems pertaining to all
areas of this great country.
Some years ago while pros-
pecting for oil and gas resources
.in Saskatchewan, it was dis-
covered that underlying very
large areas of this province
were tremendous deposits of
potash. A predominantly rural
area, such as my constituency,
will readily understand the im-
portance of this fertilizer in-
gredient, not only nationally
but also internationally.
Some of this mineral is min-
ed in the conventional way
through a shaft. Two years ago
in one of my radio addresses,
I described the terrific hazards
and costs of this type of oper-
ation where the cost of sinking
the shaft was $40,000,000.
Our visit to Saskatchewan,
Moose Jaw, Lake Centre con-
stituency last week was to ob-
serve at first hand the second
method of mining this very
important mineral.
Solution mining of potash
ores is an important first for
Canada's mining industry and a
valuable addition to its mining
knowhow.
Much of the potassium min -

GOOD WEATHER has assisted workmen installing trunk
sewers for Wingham's new system. Crews are now
laying lines to the north of Victoria Street in the
Riverside Park. This picture shows some of the huge
pre -cast pipes that are used to build the manholes in
the line with part of the trenching showing in the
background.

Mr. and Mrs. Peter New-
bery, Miss Sue Seymore of Tor-
onto, and Mr. Dick Porter of
Cargill were Sunday dinner
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Ferguson. Mr. Newbery and
Miss Seymore are students at
Emmanuel College, , Toronto,
and conducted services at Mild-

ed to Ottawa on the holiday
week -end to visit Mr. Vernon
Inglis, who is on the staff of
the Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce there.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Ing-
lis and daughter, Lois Anne, of
Stratford visited at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. James Inglis Sr.
on Saturday.

ers of Lakelet completed a well

eral in Saskatchewan is locat-
ed too deep to be mined in the
conventional way through a
shaft. Solution mining is able
to recover this essential min-
eral from the deep deposits in
the Province and makes it pos-
sible to establish a potash in-
dustry in areas where only a
few short years ago it was im-
possible.
The technicalities of this
process are too complicated for
other than engineers to under-
stand. However, the maze of
equipment for conveying, stor-
ing and refining this product
have a construction cost of ap-
proximately $45,000,000.
The expected output of this
mine will fill 100 railway cars
each day. The estimated re-
venue for the Canadian Pacific
Railway servicing only one of
the four potash developments
in the province will be some-
where in the neighbourhood of
$10,000,000 per year.
We who live in the valleys
of the Saugeen, the Maitland
and the Grand are not unfamil-
iar with conservation measures.
We are very grateful that so
many dedicated Canadians had
the foresight to promote mea-
sures for the conservation of
our forests, our soil and our
waters in the past.
The second highlight of our
trip West last week was to visit
the site of the South Saskatche-
wan Dam. Once again I was
amazed at the thorough at-
tention to detail of our modern
engineers; their ability to esti-
mate costs and to project in
detail the many benefits which
make a development of this
magnitude possible.
This great river which was a
trade route for early explorers
and fur traders and envisaged as
a potential navigation route
from Fort Garry to the foot of
the Rockies is in the process of
being harnessed to provide pow-
er, irrigation, flood control,
recreation and urban and rural
water supply.
The largest of its kind ever
to be built in Canada, the pro-
ject is a joint undertaking be-
tween the Government of Can-
ada and the Province of Saskat-
chewan. The total cost of the
reservoir works is estimated at
$95 million, and will be shar-
ed by the two Governments,
75% by the Federal and 25% by
the Provincial.
At the time of our visit 32
construction contracts had been
awarded valued at approxim-
ately $58,000,000. To ac-
complish this work, a labour
force of from 800 to 1200 men,
depending on the seasonal re-
quirements, was employed at
the site throughout the year.
After completion of the darn,
the backed -up waters of the
South Saskatchewan will form
a reservoir with a shoreline of
almost 500 miles.
This is Canada on the march,
when the development of the
South Saskatchewan promises
an assured supply of water to a
province already rich in agri-
cultureal and mineral resources,
bringing with it the potential
to stabilize agriculture, gen-
erate hydro power, and broad-
en the economic base of the
province and the nation..
