Money Spent on Parks Is Well Spent
The recent purchase of property in
Colborne Township by the Maitland
Conservation Authority assures the
public of the continued•, use of an area
that is as well adapted"to park purpos-
es as. any in the county. The action
might well point the way to similar
action in other parts of Huron, so that
not only this generation but future gen-
erations as well, may have the benefit
of park lands within ready distance of
their homes.
The Beacon -Herald discusses the
benefits in a recent editorial in these
words:
The merit of the decision , by the
Maitland Conservation Authority, to
acquire ownership of the Falls Reserve
property near Gbderich, is one which
can be seen readily by people in the
Stratford area.
An older Conservation Authority,
the Upper Thames, has shown the way
in this kind of imaginative enterprise;
by acquiring land at Harrington, at
HarmonS, and north of Shakespeare,
for ,development as conservation areas.
The result, in each case, has been to
preserve for the -future, and for the
use of the public, a bit of the outdoors.
As Southern Ontario becomes more and
more crowded, land which is attractive
for recreational use is rapidly disap-
pearing into private. control. We are
fortunate in the Stratford 'area that a
Conservation Authority moved when it
did to -bring the Harrington, Harmony
and Shakespeare sites into the public
domain, and keep them available for
public use. The Maitland Conservhtion
Authority has shown wisdom and fore-
sight in taking the same action with
respect to the••Falls Reserve site, which
has greater natural assets than any of
the three which have been developed
for public .use in the Stratford neigh-
borhood.
The disappearance of natural picnic
spots from the Ontario countryside'
does not proceed so rapidly that it is
noticeable in any one year, and. yet
over a space of 20 years or so, the total
disappearance can be considerable, and
can narrow the opportunities for ord-
inary people who like to get outdoors
for an evening or a day. It is not givgn
to everybody to have a cottage in
Northern Ontario, and enough leisure
time to drive hundreds of miles for
every outing. The use which has been
made of the three small recreation areas
near Stratford is the best evidence that
there was a need for them, and that
there are many people who benefit
when outdoor recreation is put within
easy driving distance.
The Conservation Authorities in On-
tario are well suited to be the public
'agents for saving local beauty spots.
They can spread the cost ($8,000 for
-purchase of the Falls Reserve property, -
for example) over a number of muni-
cipalities, so that it is not expensive
for any one. At the same time the
Authorities are local in their interests,
and keep control in the hands of local
people.
What a man looks for in a'woinan is
something I daresay,like a good piano
minus the loud pedal. What he looks
for is tone, modulation, essential pre-
cision,music that is well composed, soft
and' lovely.—George Jean Nathan.
Avoiding the Easy Approach
•
(Ottawa :Journal)
When . Justice Minister Favreau
spoke to the Empire Club in Toronto,
recently, he told of the grievances that
French - speaking Canadians have
against the Canadian partnership, as it is today, and traced those grievances to
their historical roots.
Later, Mr. Favreau spoke to
the Kiwanis-Maisonneuve Club in Mont-
real. He . spoke on the same basic sub-
ject; but the approach was different.
For example: '
"One does not ask an adult to avoid
a norrnal crisis of growth; one only
advises him totake as a guide for his
conscience or as a confidant, a respon-
sible man, understanding, open-minded,
wird would not lose sight of the inter-'
ests of the youth concerned. The same
applies to a nation . . .
"Today, perhaps more than in the
past, French Canadians as well as Eng-
lish Canadians, 'have no right, nor can
they afford the luxury of putting their
political fate in the hands of irrespon-
sible leaders, 'nice speakers' who are
promising paradise on earth. You are
mostly businessmen, and beforefollow-
ing• the disciples of any politician and
before promoting the idea of one new
impoverished leader, ask yourself, if,
in normal times, you would be prepared
t� entrust to him the management of
your business or of your wealth. If not,
beware"
That is sound advice on judging
those who would be political leaders.
Mr. Favreau himself has set a good ex-
ample of responsibility in these two re-
cent speeches in Toronto and Montreal.
In each city his remarks were framed,
not to fit and flatter Ithe viewpoint of
his hearers, but to brdaden-it. A, lesser
man would have courted easy applause
by making the Toronto speech in Mont-
real and .-the Montreal speech in
Toronto.

"AND WHOSE LITTLE BOY ARE YOU?"
Macduff Ottawa Report
THE WHITE PAPER
OTTAWA—A bold, imagina-
tive white paper on defence was
introduced into the House of
Commons just before Easter by
Hon. Paul Hellyer, Minister of
National Defence. . He. has
brought logic and clarity of
thought to a tough assignment
that saw his predecessors shud-
der and shy away from the task.
Canadians -generally will want
the young Defence Minister to
succeed in the. difficult job he
has taken on because it could
mean both savings of 'millions
of tax dollars and better value
for the defence dollars that one
spent.
Under the plan as outlined in
the White Paper this country
will become the first major
world nation to merge her
three military, services into a
unified defence force. The uni-
fication. will start at the top ,
with the appointment of a sin-
gle defence chief and, move
down through the chain of com-
mand. It is expected to be
completed in three or four
years.
Mr. Hellyer. • estimates the
move will save $1,000,000,000
during the next decade, He be-
lieves that- it would result in
savings at the end of three
years of about $100.000,000 a
year and bring about a cut m
•the armed forces of about 10,-
000 personnel. A large num-
ber of the -cuts in staff will be
in the Ottawa area. Normal at-
trition will account for many
of them... But there will be al-
so some 'compulsory" retire-
ments.
The savings expected •toe ac-
crue from, the revolutionary.
changes will in large part be
plowed back into the purchase
of new . equipment. It is esti-
mated that sufficient ' savings
should be made to permit a
goal' of 25 per cent of the bud-
get to be devoted to capital
equipment.

For years, ever since the
Second World War, there has
been a steadily mounting re-
alization 'on the part of senior
officers of the armed forces in
Canada that integration was the
only answer. The confusion
and overlapping that has grown
up bringing about a' waste of
money and duplication of serv-
ices has made it abundantly -
clear that unification of theSPARKS by Willis Forbes
Navy, Army and Air Forte was
sensible and logical. But there -
has also been a hard core of
resistance to such a move.
Two objections were always
given •as reasons why integra-
tion should not be undertaken.
First, that' morale or "espirit
de corps" would be weakened,
and -second, that competition
would be diminished.
Neither of these objections

class honors in their second

It is stated that Dr. Coleman.
is making preparations for the
erection of a new foundry
building on a large scale on
his property near the railway
tracks in this town. We hope
this is correct, as he has ample
means to establish and carry
on such a business, and nothing
he can do will tend more to
advance the prosperity of the
town in which' he has so large
an interest..
in the opinion of the Minister
stand, against careful scrutiny:
"Espirit de corps" by nature is
associated with ship, or corps,
or regiment or squadron as
well as with the service.'There
is no thought of eliminating
worthwhile traditions and there
is no reason why morale should
not be high -a direct result of
effectiveness. Similarly there
will be no lack of competition.
The sailors will press for more
ships, soldiers for more tanks.
and airmen for planes.
Mr. Hellyer rather than back-
ing 'away froth the difficult job
has apparently tackled it with
relish. This should not be ' a
surprise for Mr. Hellyer has
made it apparent from other
decisions •he has taken that he
is prepared .to take the bold
approach. For example, he
beached 14 ships of the Royal
Canadian Navy, closed two of
the five interceptor bases in
Canada and one of the Ii.CAF's
four bases in Europe. This
Minister is one' who is not
afraid to take action even in
the area of sacred cows. •
Legislation has been drafted
amending the National Defence
Act. It will be placed before
Parliament after Easter, to
abolish the chiefs of staff and
other senior commands of the'
three armed forces, putting the
services, under the direction of
a single chief of defence .staff.
Civilian control will be also in -
'creased by extending the auth-
ority of the Deputy Minister of
National' Defence.
Mr. Hellyer said he planned
to recommend that the present
chairman of the chiefs of staff,
55 -year-old Air Chief Marshal
Frank Miller, be named the
first chief of , the defence staff.
The success of the Minister
of Defence in maintaining an
effective civilian control raises
—in the words of the Glassco
Royal Commission ori Govern-
ment Organization •— a "need
for a strong staff group which
is essentially civilian in char-
acter, outside the framework of
the armed forces."' The Gov-
ernment has accepted and will
implement the recomme'hdation
of the commission "that the
Deputy Minister be given great-
er responsibility for keeping
under review the for
and administrative methods of
the Canadian defence establish-
meet, and assisting the Minister
in the discharge of his responsi-
bility for the control and man-
agement of the armed forces."

HOLIDAY IN THE KITCHEN
I'm going to punch right on
the nose the next, person, be it
man, woman, child or nice old
lady whose bones are as brittle
as soda -crackers, who asks me,
"Did you have a nice Easter
holiday?"
Some school teachers have a
nice Easter holiday, and good
luck to them. But English
teachers are- not among them.
English teachers have -the
same sort of holiday a bus driv-
er would have if he were -giv-
en a week off and told he was
to drive a bus from Halifax to
Vancouver in the next seven
days.
When the holidays began, I
had examinationpapers to
mark which represented a total
of about 480 student writing
hours. (They could have pro-
duced the works of Shake-
speare in the same time.) This,
in turn, means that I have about
100 hours of marking time.
No complaints. It's part of
the job. But things were a lit-
tle- more complicated this year.
The women of the house came
down with 'flu, just as the
"holidays" began.
The result was that, instead
of sitting quietly in m'' study,
and having countless cups of
tea and coffee, innumerable
beers and sandwiches• brought
me, to keep me going, I found
.myself trotting up and down
stairs about six hours of each
day, bearing up tempting little
things on trays, bearing down
dirty dishes. While my pillars
of papers sat and gathered
dust.
Results of turning the old
man loose with the grub for a
few days was interesting. My
wife has.. almost decided to be-
come a permanent invalid. My
kids realize that their father
has another brilliant, unsuspect-
ed dimension.
The Old Lady was feeling,
horrible with the flu but there
didn't seem much wrong. with
her appetite. She gained about
eight pounds. Of course, she's
not used ,to my lunches. In-
stead of the soup -and -sandwich
routine she's accustomed to,
they consisted of something
like this: glass of sherry; grill-
ed sausage with butter -fried
mushrooms and- cheese ` ome-
lette; tossed salad; blueberry
pie, and ice . cream; coffee; bran-
dy; cherry -centred chocolates..
The kids were a bit shaken
by some of my casseroles. Per-
haps the most successful was
the lasagna. Basis, .a can of
