Today Point Farms has been returned to its previous state as a popular summer vacation area, Clinton News-Renard, nitArKlay,.4141Y 1, 1971 SA 11 KR TA 410411 4 TAU causaPIOTICIs '114t' 4`:\ .44N • 7140 Ilit4;11 1, molter of principle BY J. CARL HEMINGVyAY hrtproveraeat projects at ...Mitt Farms Park In one of my previous articles I° raised the question of how the government would arrive at the value of a Man's labour if they decided to fix wages. Apparently, Bert Lawrence, Minister of Health for Ontario, ran into the same problem at the Provincial Health Ministers' Conference. They got into a discussion about the great variation of income in the medical profession, particularly about the very high income of some r' )ctors. We , Mr.' Lawrence, I have another problem. A year from now or five years from now or sometime, you will have to decide when and how much of a raise or (perish the thought) a cut, in income is justified. As a farmer, I think I have a pretty good understanding of the way I would like to have my variation of income regulated. When I work extra hours over the prescribed 40-hour week; when I improve my knowledge in my line of work; when I increase my productivety per hour or year; when I produce a higher quality of product; I think I am justified in expecting an increase in income. On the other hand, much as I might dislike it, I think any income should decrease if I fail to produce effectively. If I fiddle a half an hour for coffee breaks instead of 15 minutes; if I am careless in my work and have half a crop; if I neglect my livestock and have resulting losses, my pay should be cut accordingly. Finally, I feel it is my responsibility to get to my place of work on my own time. Basically I think all changes in income should follow the same pattern. The present attitude of so many to take more and more pay for less and less work can only end in revolution some day. Why should I have, to pay a carpenter, a plumber, an electrician, a doctor, or a veterinarian from the moment he gets to his shop or office and gathers up his tools and drives 20 miles to my place? On the other hand, if I live beside the carpenter, why shouldn't I pay for his mileage for 20 miles? I shipped milk for many years. We all paid the same per hundred to have the trucker deliver our milk to the plant, Azia'irgfavia!' Itlii"Orill" of us to produce enough milk to make the operation of a milk processing plant possible in our community. It was the large number of producers around the circumference of the area that really produced the volume, rather than the few around the centre, that kept the plant operating. The same applies to the carpenter, etc. It requires an area FOLLOW SMOKE 'S RULES CAREFUL,to crush all smokes dead out. with a certain radius to provide work for him in order that he can locate in the community; therefore, everyone should share the responsibility of paying his mileage, When it comes to charging for loading up tools in the morning, and putting them away at night and for travel time, I think this is going too far. These should be on the worker's time not the employer's. The current battle over teachers' salaries in the county is out of my field, but the argument that Huron County teachers should get a raise simply to keep up with teachers in surrounding Counties, doesn't make sense tome. Just because the farmer _next door got a higher income than I did last year is no reason for me to expect an increase in my income, If we follow this idea, where do we stop? Because the dock workers got a raise, the airways' employees got a raise, Because the airways' workers got a raise, the plumbers got a raise. Then the postal workers went on strike, then the carpenters, electricians and now the teachers and ministers want a raise over and above the annual increment. All this increases the cost of living so the "butcher, the baker and candlestick maker" start the merry-go-round all over again. Seems to me too many are interested in getting a living and too few interested in earning a living. The Ontario Automobile Association reports ever increasing requests for information on trailer parks, campsites and camping. Many requests are from persons who have never camped before, and the majority of people who want this information have families and are attracted by the economy of camping and because it is an ideal way to see nature at its best. Camping can be fun - but unless that trip is properly planned ,and all safety precautions taken, it can be very dangerous, too. If you are pulling a trailer or camper with the family car, then it should be completely safety checked - tires, brakes, steering, springs, side view mirror., and an APPROVED trailer hitch. Because of the extra weight your car will be pulling, your normal driving speed will be reduced, so allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. If you haven't camped before, it is a good idea to talk to people who have. They can advise you on many things, such as: equipment, clothing, supplies and so on. With children, it is, of course, imperative that they be under your control at all times. They can stray away, become lost or wander Into unsafe conditions. Give them little chores to do around the camp; -advise them of the safe way to do things. Deep them away from your camp axe and other dangerous camping equ iptnent. In setting up your tamp, avoid proximity to poison ivy and other poisonous plants, Look at the trees around you; is there danger of them being unsafe in a high wind? Don't get under that tall, solitary tree; it could be the target for a bolt of lightening. Experienced campers tell us The Point Farms Provincial Park located near Goderich is undergoing several new improvement projects ''hich will make its facilities even more attractive as a recreational park for both vacationing campers and day-use, Hydro facilities are being installed • in 74 campsites. Installation of the hydro outlets is now being completed and they are expected to be ready for use during the month of July. There are a total of 235 camp and trailer sites now in the park. A complete new modern sewage system has been installed in the Park with central lines and a pumping unit to convey sewage underground to a large lagoon. Construction of the lagoon was done by earth moving equipment last fall, and lines installed in preparation for this season's operation. The new system replaces the former individual tile bed facilities and has a capacity for more than double the present requirements of the whole park, allowing for the planned future expansion of camping facilities when required. A new sanitation station has also been installed at the park to provide a sewage dumping location for trailers. The Park Superintendent, Clifford Bates, and his staff anticipate increases in visitors to the park this season, both for camping and for day-use. Attendance is already up this season for the month of May over last year, and for the May 24th weekend camping was nearly double the normal number of campers. Many of the that the best place for food is in the car trunk, so that the food odors won't attract raccoons, skunks and bears, who are natural scavengers, Whatever you do, don't feed wild life. They can be real pests if you do, and they could bite or claw you. Have a good first aid kit with you? Fire Precautions - The importance of this can never be stressed often enough. As a camper you have the responsibility of seeing that your fire does not result in a major fire, even, a forest fire. Never leave it unattended, Keep water The humble ant may help man in his fight against tree-destroying insects, if an experiment now being conducted in Quebec by federal research scientists is successful. Two species of ant - one from Manitoba and one from Italy - win be used in the experiment by Dr. Raymond Finnegan, of the Canadian Forestry Service based at Ste-Foy, Que. The ants are known to prey on other insects, attacking them mainly in their immature stages of development. Dr. Finnegan hopes they will be interested in the jackpine sawfly, one of the many insect pests which take an annual toll of Canadian forests. For the past six years leader of a group studying ant behaviour and nutrition, Dr. Finnegan, an entomologist and forestry engineer, is convinced that the insects can be used to control tree pests, He has carried out extensive work with native Quebec ants, and has even developed man-made anthills designed and built in the laboratory, enabling control of their feeding habits and behaviour. While on a recent study visit to Italy's Institute of Agriculture at Pavia, near Milan, Dr. Finnegan had the chance to observe the extensive use made of ants to control infestations of insect pests in that country. He decided to carry out his experiments in Canada with two species - one (formica lugubris) imported from Italy, and a Manitoban variety (formica - handy. To extinguish your fire, douse it with water, spread the embers, and keep drenching it with water until the embers have cooled off. In heavily forested camp areas use water always to douse your fire - not dirt, The humus in the soil could burn also. Finally, please do your part in keeping our National and Provincial Parks free of litter. These parks have proper garbage disposal facilities. Please use them. Get the whole family into the act by "policing" your camp area daily, picking up paper, cans, bottles, trash and so on. obscuripes). In some European countries, ants are so valued as pest controllers that their colonies are protected by law. Taking advantage of expected sawfly attacks this year, well-populated anthills will he introduced into the Upper Saint-Maurice area of northwestern Quebec, to evaluate the ant's efficiency in freeing a wooded area from the pests. Both species of ant are known to he voracious predators, preferring to attack insects feeding in large groups. The experiment will be strictly 'controlled to exclude the possibility of harmful results from the introduction of the new ants. In addition to this work, Dr. Finnegan and his associates are carrying out research on natural anthills near Drummondville, Que., where they have surrounded an anthill with a three-foot-high fence, buried to a depth of two feet. The fence is sea designed that, though the insects can leave their hill freely on foragieg expeditions, to return with their prey they must pass through tubes controlled by the researchers. In this way, specimens may be captured and their feeding habbits, work capacity and other data recorded. Thus the ant, whose highly-developed social life often pits it against man as master of the world in science fiction, may become our ally in the fight against our natural enemies.

The most attractive feature of Point Farms Park is its excellent beach along the shoreline of Lake Huron which is ideal for swimming and boating. Day-use visitors to the park are mainly local residents in the Huron County area to whom the large public beach is a popular attraction for swimming and picnicking. Point Farms Park is located four miles north of Goderich on Highway 21. It is a recreation class of Provincial Park established on 584 acres of land which since in the 1920's was mainly used for farming. Prior to that for the period of more than half a century it was the site of a large summer resort the first of such resorts established in South Western Ontario. In the 1860's the original summer resort was called Point Farms, Most of the Park property is still open land overlooking the Lake Huron beach area from a height of 75 feet above lake level. Extensive tree planting has been carried out over the past few years by the park staff and Ants may help fight forest pests Date of filingt June 18,'1'971. Signature: "Elmer F.
