Local workman
is low bidder
Council had some more trees
removed over the weekend and
the work was done by a local
man, despite the fact it had pre-
viously beer. suggested that an
outside firm could possibly do
the work much cheaper.
Don MacGregor, chairman of
the committee, said the firm
from Wingliani which had ex-
pressed an interest in working
here had been invited down to view
the five trees which had to be
removed and to submit an estim-
ate.
He said their price had been
$275 and when they were advised
this was too high, they, dropped
:t to $250.
The work was finally awarded
to Robert Pooley, who bid $148
for the removal of the trees.
Another area firm put in an
estimate of $190.
MY BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT
My dad (George Vriese) asked
me :f I would like to go to Holland
with him. The reason why he ask-
ed me is that this is the last
year I can go half hare.
He Is going to see his mother
and father and everyone else in
his family and is also going to
see his sister get married.
But there's only One thing if
I don't get a good report card
I won't he going and if 1 do get
a good report card 1'11 be going.
We will be leaving Tuesday, De-
cember 27, 1906 mil coming back
we'll he in Toronto January 10.
1966 we hope. So that's my biggest
gift I've ever received.

TAXES HIGH
-Higher taxes, increasing
costs of land. preparation for
planting and a retardation of land
offerings to the Authority pro-
duced a relatively slow year for
the reforestation and
t2ommittee.
Chairman C. Charlton explain-
ed there appeared to be a change
in emphasis from acquiring land
for reforestation to a greater
recognition of the need to im-
prove the management of private
woodlots.
Evidence of this is seen in the
passing of the Woodlands Im-
provement Act which is aimed at
rehabilitating existing woodlots.
It empowers the department of
lands and forests to spend money
to improve private woodlots.
The committee met to discuss
wildlife management as well and
it was suggested that Hungarian
partridge be raised and released
in the watershed. Snowshoe hare
may also be trapped and brought
into the area.
No action has been taken as
yet because Hungarian partridge
eggs are in short supply and the
snowshoe rabbit population can
best be trapped during January.
Wellington Brock, ARCA
chairman, commented on the
work of the committee and noted
that taxes on the reforestation
land in the watershed is now
about $5,000 per year.
He said this was a large bur-
den and said the department would
be asked to make grants in lieu
of taxes or have the cost of taxes
become a part of the administra-
tion of reforestation lands on
which a grant would be received.
MISTLETOE
In the good old days. the Druids
reguarded this green object with
great care, as it was sacred, or
was supposed to be. But in later
years, somebody got ideas.
He would hang it where the
most likely place would be, and
probably wait for some poor
soul to come, then presto, one
kiss. It probably went over big
with the men. until their wives
showed up,
It was and is a very cute
Christmas decoration and any
girl who doesn't recognize it is
in deep trouble but is usually
able to scare the poor fellow
away by showing him her face.
If he continues to try and kiss
her, he usually ends up with a
broken nose, black eye and a few
loose teeth, especially if she's
taken judo lessons.
So I guess the Druids were
right about this plant.

both for the Authority, and for
the other positions of leadership
he has assumed for other groups,
such as the Exeter centennial
committee and the Experiment
in International Living.
"You're just too modest," Ex-
eter's Fred Dobbs told McCauley
after the latter skimmed over
some of his activities in his
written report.
In other business, the Auth-
ority named Robert Austin. R.
E. Pooley, R. Flynn and C, Charl-
ton to the nominating committee.
Following the meeting, mem-
bers adjourned to the new work-
shop at Parkhill for dinner.
SCHOOL SUCCESS
In giving his report of the edu-
cation and information board,
Charles Corbett, Lucan, noted
that the Camp Sylvan conserva-
tion school "is continuing to win
converts to the Authority's phil-
osophy of integ, r al watershed
planning."
• we seem to have hit upon an
effectivepublicity formula here
for reaching the parents through
directly edu. ating their children
in our work". he said. adding
that this year was the third
"successful operation for the
camp school",
He said that the evaluation of
the program in the past year is
optimistie and recommends the
school again be organized next
year with as much growth in the
scope of the topics and participat-
ing schools as possible. Stephen
Central School and the new Huron
Centennial School at Brucefield
have already asked to be includ-
ed with other area schools.
A suggestion that the school
might grow into a year-round
activity with a permanent site
was aired and brought a warning
from Fred J. McLeod, Ailsa
Craig, that the authority ap-
peared to be straying a long way
from its original goal by con-
sidering such an extensive plan.
"I am very worried about what
we are going to get Into if we go
into permanent buildings," he
said.
Some future plans for the edu-
cation board are:
— Construction of a fossil in•
terpretative centre at Rock Glen.
— Completion of the booklet
"Twenty years of Conservation"
in 1967.
— Increased use of communi-
cations media, especially TV.
— A conservation poster con-
test for school children.
-- Implement a Conservation
Merit Award program in the
watershed as a centennial pro-
ject.
In addition to the reports at
the meeting, members saw a
moving picture of Conservation
Authorities in Ontario. Some
scenes from Camp Sylvan were
included,
