Progress In Conservation
I Authority. The Minister of Plan- Mu«t Level Spoil Bank
ning and Development has as-*
sured a grant of 50 per cent of
the costs and contribute 90 per
cent of the Authority’s share.
The remaining 10 per cent will
be shared by all other member
municipalities of the Authority.
In recognition of the service ren
dered to the Authority by its
Chairman, it was unanimously
j agreed that this-structure shall
foe known as the Morrison Dam.
Due to the shortage of steel,
the original recommendation,
which called for control gates
in the dam, had to be revised.
The new plans will allow for an
overflow type of spillway, pro
viding the same amount of stor
age in the reservoir.
Arbor D*y In'Ad*)j»id*
Tfoe annual Arbor Day pro
gram took place in Adelaide
Township on May 4, with the
co-operation of Mr. Walter
F^asey, Adelaide Township rep
resentative and owner of the
property where the planting was
I done. About 3,000 trees were
, planted by 60 school children.
The Department of Lands and
Forests assisted in the program
and provided a .demonstration
With a tree- planting machine.
The weather was discouraging,
but in spite of this the teachers
kand pupils did a fine job of plant
ing the trees. Cold and mud were
quickly forgotten when the cho
colate milk and doughnuts were
distributed, Suitable prizes were
presented to each school taking
part.
A group of twenty Girl Guides
from companies' in Huron Dis
trict helped to replant a section
of the. Authority Forest which
had been hard hit by last sum
mer’s drought. The planting was
done as part of the requirements
for the Woodsman Radge.
Scouting in the District re
ceived a helping hand from the
Ausable Authority in. keeping
with the 1956 theme of a “Con
servation Good Turn”. Members
of the 1st Exeter Troop plarited
50 trees each in the Authority
Forst, and at the beginning , of
June'a one-day course was given
-to Scouts from Huron District
on the requirements for the
Water conservationist Proficien
cy Radge.
Assist Tr** Planting
A number of persons in the
watershed planted trees on their
own proprty with the help of the
Authority. Roth hand-planting
and planting with the Authority
tree-planter were dbne to im
prove woodlots and establish
shelterbelts.
Three thousand pine, cedar and
larch were provided by the Au
thority, free of charge, to cottage
Owners wishing to do planting on
their lots in the Authority’s sub
division at Port Franks.
An* agreement has been ap
proved by the Authoriy which
Woud give the Sarnia Roy Scouts
Association a lease to a section
to Authority property, bordering
on the "cut”, west' of Highway
No. 21, and in the same agree
ment the Authority will purchase
from the Association a strip of
land south of the “cut”, for
development aS a recreation
area. Picnic tables and .waste
containers will be provided for the
section adjacent to the highway
While plans are being considered
for the development ol the more
inaccessible portion as an exten
sion of the existing cottage sub
division owned by the Authority.

I The Farm Pond Advisory |
> Board now requires that the* spoil?
[back be levelled on any pood-
i built with Authority’s assitance. I
j To keep members informed of <
, ponds built in the area, the new}
application form must be signed i
by the municipality’s representa-!
five before engineering or a
grant is provided. Owners of
114 ponds have received engin
eering assistance and subsidies
totalling $4,154 since November |
11955. This; brings they total of
I ponds built with the assistance of I
the Authority to 487, at a cost of I
over $17,000, since 1952. ’
I The Public Relations Advisory I
Board made use of television for j
the first time this spring in its
program pf acquainting people
with the work of the Authority.
A panel discussion carried over
'CFPL-TV, London, was conduc
ted by Mr. Roy Jewell, who
questioned Mr. Morrison, Mr,
Andrew Dixon (Chairman of the
Public Relations Advisory
Board) and the Field Officer,
Mr. Hooke, on the work and pro
posed projects of the Authority,
glides taken, on the watershed
were used to illustrate the an
swers.
Talks, illustrated with coloured
Slides, were given to ten groups
during the latter part of the win
ter, and numerous pictures were
•added io the Authority’s col
lection to.bring it up to date.
Calculates Erosion
The heavy rains during the
first part of May did much da
mage to cultivated land in the
watershed, as was shown by ari
interesting experiment carried
out by Mr. Andrew Dixon. Mr.
Dixon removed a’quart of water
from the Ausable River at Exe
ter during the peak of the flow
on May 11. The. water was fil
tered .and the residue weighed
at a stage of crumbly dryngss.
One quart oT water was fouhd
to contain .03 lbs. of soil. Further
calculations showed that shortly
after the rains, every 11.1 feet
of river-length contained a five-
ton truckload of sJil, or a total
df over 350,000 tons of earth
Which was typing lost into Lake
Huron. Flowing at an estimated
speed of 6 m.p.h., water from
the source, witn its lead of soil,
would reach the mouth in 24 hrs.
The Authority has moved its
office in the town of Exeter tp a
more suitable location.. The new
office, one block south of the pre
vious location, provides greater
space and more parking.
