The budget fereeasts an in- crease of $4,000 in the annual levy on the 23 municipalities in the watershed. The total muni- cipal contribution, which is in- dividually determined on the basis of both population and assessment, will rise from $23,000 to $27,000. The four new projects ap- proved in the budget include; --A forest and wildlife dem- onstration area on the Sweitzer property, a 100-acre farm on lot 14, concession 14, Stephen township; --A stream improvement program on the Nairn Creek and tributaries which will include structures for erosion control and development of fish habitat; --A further development, in- volving land purchase, at the Rock Glen conservation area near Arkona; --Purchase of a gully in East Williams on which to establish a land use demonstration area. Other features of the budget include; Purchase of a bulldozer, for which $6,000 was budgeted, to assist in the development of cons ervation programs and maintenance of present proper- ties; A cutback in the reforestation program, Which has involved eonsiderable land purehasing over the past 10 years; A $3,000 expenditure for dredging of the Exeter pond (half of this amount will be provided by the town). ,, OAC course in February RM gibgiSfri/ alef ire" We want to take this opportunity to thank you, our good friends, for thinking of us through the year, and to wish you and your families every joy of the Christmas Season, GOULD & JORY and Staff Phone 235-0270 Exeter saWq.,f6' aPrd'aT,e' tr.1•7.P4 aNa, 'af•A 't*ed tP7..,G4'<qed zr4iVAt4g,4 . zlled t:FAi PS pupils Small raise in levy To buy soon forecast by budget kind for dam Land owners affected by the Proposed millionedollar Park- hill Dam have been told by A s abl e Authority officials farm purchases will be made "as quickly and as fairly as possible", The assurance was given at the authority's annual meeting Dec. 18 in Parkhill, attended by some of the farmers who were concerned about the plans they should make for crops and other operations in 1964.

"The main aim of the school will be to direct student atten- tion toward our natural environ- ment and the need for conser- ving our renewable natural re- .qeMcieeteteee-efeewetweete.eigeeteeeeeeiteeteetteteeeeeeeeeteeeteeeteW sources.

Principal A. B. Idle has an- nounced that the boys and girls, donating money towards the adoption of a child rather than buying gifts for each other, have raised o;er $200. The cost of adoption, under the Foster Parents' Plan Inc., is $190. Principal Idle was delighted with response to the project, "We estimate the childrenhave given an average of 40 cents each, about the same as they would have spent on gifts for each other, It shows that the true spirit of Christmas still exists." He particularly appreciated the co-operation and encour- agement of the parents, who obviously supported the pro- gram. • The adoption plan was a pro- jection of last year's program when the children donate d money toward the Children's Aid Society. As a result of the response to that project, the principal and his staff felt suf- ficient funds could be raised for an adoption. "The children are very en- thusiastic," he said. "T hey can't wait to find out who they have adopted and to hear from the child. We hope that we'll be able to exchange letters with the child." The brief Ftroposes that, in the initial eteges,etedentsfrom Exeter, Centralia and Parkhill elementary schools, along with those from NOrthMithdteSPX and .South Huron, would be involved. The students would be selected and recommended by the prine eipals and two onerweek cours, es are suggested. Students will live right at the camp in sleeping accommoe dation which is already estab, lished "th.apioneer setting of a circle of Conestoga wagons", Sleeping facilities also are available for the staff, A "Frontier House" at the camp would serve for dining and group activities, The camp is close to a number of projects of the Ausableauthe ority which could be visited by the students. These include the proposed Parkhill Dam, saw mills, fish hatchery, conserva- tion areas such as Rock Glenn, In addition facilities nearby would lend themselves to land use, soil judging, farm weather studies, and observation of var- ious types of farm operations. The topics of study would in- elede the eiwireninent of Camp Sylvan, which is described as "being rich in historical signi- ficance"; forost conservation, recreation, soil coneervatien and agriculture, water 'Censer- vation, weather studies, fish and wildlife,. Principele of Scouting, re- Cognized as being-universally applicable to outdoor educa- tion," would be an integral part of the progrem. Implementation of the school will require the co-operation of the London District Council of Boy Scouts, owners of the camp; the departments of education and lands and forests, local school boards and officials, Staff for the school would include a professional Scouter, meteorologist, conserva- tionists, agriculturists, student teachers and et least four ex- perienced School teachers. The brief on the school was prepared by Ausable authority fieldman J. T, McCauley, and the local public school teepee- tor, J. G. Burrows. •••••••••"*5.; <Alex:0k* To The Citizens of Exeter and District EXETER eekoe*...t.e.ezekeseeeeteeeeeteee eeeeeeitieeeeereeeeeeeseeeseeeeeieelee WE, your council, wish to extend heartfelt greetings for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
