The following is a report of the three-day stay enjoyed by the grade eight students from Us- borne Central School at the con- servation school at Camp Sylvan. It was compiled by the students. Usborne Central School, September 30, 1966 a bachelors' breakfast which the girls enjoyed more than the boys who waited on table and did the dishes, Another pleasure (?) we en- joyed was swimming in 50 de- gree water. No one stayed in long including our principal. A Mystery Tour—what is it? Well, in our case it was a romp in the dark through a fair part of three hundred acres. Thirty- two of us joined hands to follow trails uphill and down, to race through the woods with branches slapping our face, to cross creeks, to go over fields and run into saplings half-killing our- selves or them, to trip over stumps and roots. If it was planned to tire us out, it was a failure. We still stayed awake half the night! A hootenanny and wiener roast also made for an enjoyable eVening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope that you will agree that it was quite worthwhile. Yours truly, Grade VIII Pupils These grade eight students of Exeter public school are shown climbing aboard the bus after spending three days at a conservation school at Camp Sylvan. As can be seen sleeping bags were one of the main requirements for spending two nights in the outdoors. T-A photo ers of a century old. We were told that one inch had been add- ed to the trunk in the last ten years. This experience taught us how important it is to not Cut saplings so that they can also contribute to Canada's wealth in the next fifty to one hundred years. (We replaced the sliver.) Mr. Wood, Ass't Field Of- ficer of the Authority, showed us how to classify soil and what to plant on different types, The control of erosion and land- drainage were discussed also, This will help us in our science lessons and farming too. Exploring the old village of Sylvan on which the camp grounds are situated was very interest- ing. On the hills we saw path- like laneways that led to what looked like the bottoms of stone fireplaces, and the cornerstones of houses. The fruit from the wild apple trees was quite good. In Big Creek we located what is believed to be the foundation of the mill. It is believed that when the railroad by-passed their village the inhabitants moved to where the highway is, or to Parkhill, or where the village of Sylvan now stands. Thanks to our cook, the food was very tasty. It consisted of pancakes, bacon and eggs, fried chicken, soup, roast beef with all the trimmings, cake, cookies, fruit, fruit juices and milk.

Effective October 1, it is an offence in Ontario to drive a motor vehicle on the highway unless the windshield, windows on either side of the driver and the rear window provide a clear view of the roadway and vehic- les approaching from either di- rection. The provision respecting the rear window does not apply where the motor vehicle is e- quipped with a mirror secure- ly attached to the vehicle in a position to give the driver a clear view of the roadway in the rear, other than through the rear window.

This maybe was the attitude of some of our parents as we set out for Camp Sylvan. Well, we didn't do much "read- in', writin' and cipherin"' but we did a lot of water, soil and tree "larnin' ". We thought you might like to hear about it. The main part of the camp where the sleeping quarters and dining-room are situated is in the style of an old western town. The dining-room is like an old store which was called Frontier House and has hitching posts standing out in front. The sleeping quart- ers are in covered wagons and a barn. We spent very little time sleeping! Stream measurement and im- provement was the subject given most attention. Much of the equip- ment used for this purpose had already been put into the stream. One of these was a V-notched weir to tell the stream velocity. When the water passes through the V, it is recorded on the notch- es shown on the weir. Another method of stream im- provement is the use of a Double Wing Deflector. This is made up of two railroad ties put into each bank on an angle so that there is about two feet between them. To hold them, a stake is put in front of the ties. This makes the pool deeper, the stream flow faster, and prevents erosion. We also saw how a Single Wing Deflector, a K-dam, and a Single Notch Log are used to deepen streams and increase the rate of flow of the water. Practising the idea that "see- ing is understanding", we did a lot of forestry work. Mr. Findling of the Department of Lands and Forests was our instructor. He showed us how to survey a forest and the use of an instrument to estimate the height of a tree. We found the age of a tree by using an increment borer which took a sliver out of the tree. By counting the rings on it, we learned that it was three-quart- The symbol of the Red Cross is the reverse of the Swiss flag. It honours its Swiss founder, Henri Durant. By MRS.

Mr. & Mrs. George Miner of Ilderton, Mrs. Wilson Britney, Mrs. Frank Harding of Trans- cone, Manitoba, were Monday guests with their nephew Rev. Stewart & Mrs. Miner. Thanksgiving service will be held Sunday, October 9 when the rite of baptism will be administ- ered. Sunday, October 16, the Thames Road anniversary will be held and the following Sunday Elimville anniversary.
