"Beaver'" Division of the Girl Guides and Brownies held an Executive meeting at Irn, maculate Conception School, Formosa, Ontario with 18 members present. Beaver Division comprises an area encircled by Goderich, Clinton, Listowel, Palmerston, HarriSton, Mount Forest, Durham, Walkerton to Lucknow, It was noted that Barrie is going to host the "Guider Gathering" on March 8th and 9th . . Four BroWn Guiders and Four Blue Guiders will be able to attend from Beaver Division. The choice of girls to attend will be announced at a latei date, The Area Annual (Silver Birch Area) is to be held on April 5th and 6th in Kitchener while the Provincial Annual will be held at Peterborough on May 10th, 11th and 12th. A Commissioner's Training session Was set for Alliston on February 15th and 16th. All District Commissioners were urged to attend this important meeting. A Volleyball and Badminton Tournament has been planned for Guelph at the University of Christmas festivities throughout Ontario and Canada wouldn't be complete without an evergreen tree. The production, harvesting, and sale of these trees has created a thriving industry in the province. The tree you choose is the result of several years of careful production by operators of Ontario's Christmas tree plantations, says W.J. Devins, a farm products inspector with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Grade standards are set by the Ministry, but they are not man- datory. Christmas tree producers keep on top of consumer trends when it comes to tree sizes and species. While Scotch pine is still one of the most favored trees, cultured spruce and balsam firs are gaining con- sumer acceptance. "Since it takes an average of eight years Guelph sometime in May. is the hope of prompters to even- tually gear this tourney to a Provincial playoff and perhaps a Dominion,wide tourney, At present it will be an Area event, but this will still Mean that in order to see which team and what individuals will get to go, there will have to be District playoffs and also a Division playoff. There seems to be considerable interest in Beaver Division by the girls to enter this competition, so the event should prove most suc- cessful, Executive members likewise felt there should be a closer relationship in Beaver Division, so a Divisional An- mtt was planned for April 27th in Hanover (Satalite Com- pany to be the hosts) and this will allow the Guiders a chance to meet one another. The various departments in Beaver gave a report on their work over the past year and what they plan to do in the future.. The Division's Budget was also set for 1975 with ex- penditures expected to meet the $1,800.00 mark. The next meeting will be held in Clinton's Legion Hall on Monday, March 5th. for Scotch pine and eleven years for spruce to grow to marketable size, plantation owners have to plan well in ad- vance," says Mr, Devins. In addition to the species, producers have to keep close watch on the' size and shape preferences of the buyer. "For awhile, trees that were too dense were being produced and offered in the market. The ap- peal of a natural tree was lost. Now producers are careful in trimming, so that the trees have all the benefits of trim- ming, yet retain their natural appearance." Most trees sold are from four to eight feet high. In addition to trees available from lots within the com- munity, a number of Christmas tree producers operate their plantations as "cut-your-own". Trees available for sale are 'Marked out so, you and your family can pick out the tree you want. Two new township directors were named recently at the an- nual meeting of the Huron County Soil and Crop Im- provement Association at the Pineridge Chalet near Hensall, Donald Rader, RR 3, Dash- wood will represent Hay town- ship replacing Howard Datars of Dashwood who just com- pleted his term as president of the Huron group. A change also took place in Usborne township with Murray Dawson, RR 1, Hensall` taking over from Maurice Love of RR 3, Exeter. Members passed two resolutions which will . be presented to the annual meeting of the Ontario Soil and Crop annual meeting to be held at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto on January 28 and 29, 1974. The first resolution .asks utility companies and railways to use non-agricultural land for transmission lines in the future. The second resolution deals with the possibility of moving the site of the Ontario annual session to different centres in the province. Regulations now state the meeting must be held in Toronto. The request asks to remove the restriction of mobility. -Pat Lynch a soil and crops specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food outlined some of the projects completed in 1973 and those expected to be under- taken next year. The first snowfall is the signal for winter • fun to snowmobile enthusiasts. However, because the machines are so mobile and powerful, snowmobile operators should be careful not to damage plants and crops, says Burke McNeill, a horticultural specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Snowmobiles may break young trees and shrubs, Small evergreen plantings, such as are found in conservation areas, are often covered by only a light layer of snow—and are of• ten damaged by passing machines. Operated on lawns, fields of winter wheat or hay, especially where snow cover is light; they compact the snow, killing the crop or sod. Remember that if you do your own servicing at home, fill the machine on the driveway. Spilled gas or oil will kill grass. Enjoy the thrill of snowmobiling, but drive carefully, Avoid sites where trees, sod, and crops are plan- ted.
