However, he said it was atwO- way street and municipalities should consider the projects be- ing undertaken and make their representatives aware of how they feel. to obtain at least two appraisal reports from licenced appraisers in regard to each parcel of land expropriated. — That authority members be required to report regularly to their municipal councils. The group felt that the request for such reports should come from the councils and one other mem- ber suggested authority members should receive remuneration for their work. It was felt members should also report at nomination meetings. — That authorities exercise their power to control pollution under the terms of the Act inco.- operation with the OWRC. In summary, Charles Corbett noted the various recommenda- tions had been discussed briefly and hurriedly and some were full of a multitude of implications. He said the meeting shouldn't be the end of study on the re. port, but that members should continue to give it further study and debate.

Hooke said the fact that auth- orities were lax in presenting information to the ratepayers in their watersheds created many problems. However, he said the ARCA appeared to be an excep- tion in this regard, and he commended the members for their public relations activities. "Authorities have grown inthe past 20 years and are doing good work, but they have left the people behind them," he commented. He said as a result there was a backlash of problems, because if people don't know where their money is going, they are certainly hesitant in paying". "The solution is to keeppeople informed," he said. The former local resident ex- plained there were 127 rec- ommendations in the select com- mittee report, and while some will have a profound influence on the work of authorities, others seem only like good house- keeping. A report that is expected to have a great impact on the dir- ection to be taken by conserva- tion authorities in Ontario over the next few years was discussed at a special meeting of the Ausable River Conservation Authority in Luc;a.n, Friday. Several recommendations from the select committee on conservation authorities were discussed by five panel groups consisting of ARCA members and area councillors. About 65 at- tended. Charles Corbett, Lucan, who chaired the meeting, noted that a similar study had been con- ducted 15 years ago and told the audience they would be astounded to see how much influence it had on conservation since then. He predicted the present report would have the same impact. "I can foresee a new era if the recommendations are put into effect," commented Wellington Brock, chairman of the ARCA. He said the sliding scale of grants as proposed by the com- mittee would change the whole idea of the work of the Ausable group. Highlighting the program was an address by Hal Hooke, former ARCA field officer, who was technical advisor to the select committee. He said the committee heard a number of complaints about the present operation of author- ities and said one of the weakest points of the present setup ap- LLOYD RADER IS THE MAN TO SEE AT THE AGRICO SERVICE CENTRE AT DASHWOQD Girls finish A-H project Ready Mix CONCRETE P1 ant 235-0833 Residence 228-6961 C.A.McDOWELL Going Out Of EVERGREEN Business Evergreens and Shadetrees Tulip Trees Hydrangea Trees Locust Trees REDERS' FLORISTS 235.2603 He's right in your area ready to help you plan your fertilizer program.

SCI This is the AGRICO difference The discussion groups debated 34 of the recommendations in the report and found favor with about all but one or two. One of the disagreements came in the recommendation that an owner whose land is expropriated be reimbursed for reasonable legal and appraisal costs. The group pointed out such a pro- vision would stimulate all land owners to contest the acquisition of their land andpractically every case would have to go to the Ontario Municipal Board at cost to the authority. Although public relations had been cited by Hooke as one of the main requirements of the author- ity, the group discussing the sug- gestion that authorities provide daily and weekly newspapers with more press releases and pic- torial material was not over- whelmingly in agreement. Bill Amos, who served as re- corder for the group, said press releases issued in the past had not been printed correctly and these reports then gave the public the wrong interpretation. However, they agreed it should be done as much as possible. Some of the recommendations which received support from the various discussion groups were as follows: — That the Act be amended to permit the total authority share of the cost of a project to be borne by a single member municipality. — That funds donated directly to authorities be considered for government grants on the same basis as municipal levies. — That authorities be encour- aged to undertake resource man- agement measures on private lands and that grants be made available to help finance such work. — That where size and fac- ilities of conservation areas are adequate and other factors make it practical, conservation author- ities should be encouraged to charge user fees to offset main- tenance and development costs of the facilities. That authorities work in close cooperation with historical societies in the restoration of historic sites. — That the department of lands and forests advise the authorities of the appraised timber value on land before it is optioned by the authority for forest purposes. — That authorities be required AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS LIMITED LONDON • ORANGEVILLE • PORT HOPE MANY CHALLENGES "S o m e exciting challenges have been presented," Hooke stated "and your actions will tell whether you are taking up that challenge." He outlined some of the rec- ommendations that he felt would affect the Ausable group. They were as follows: That the Conservation Authorities Act be amended to provide for declaring void any contract or agreement between an authority and one of its members and for the unseating of that member. — That at least three general membership meetings of conser- vation authorities be held each year at regular intervals. — That the Act be amended to require municipalities to for- ward to conservation authorities at least half of the annual levy by May 1 and the balance by September 1. — That grants be paid on main- tenance costs. Hooke said this was one of the most often heard requests as the committee held meetings across Ontario. — That conservation authori- ties acquire wherever feasible limited estates in privately owned land rather than full ownership. — That the owner whose land is required have access to the appraisers' reports on which the valuation has been based, — That the authority's offer for land shall be single and final.

Although not all the food dishes have re- ceived good comments, the girls have been enjoying the making and eating of dishes from such sourc- es as Early Canada, The British Isles, France, Germany, Holland and the Scandinavian Countries. It was most interesting to learn of these food characteristics in this Centennial year, and how these particular countries af- fected Canadian history. The meetings were held each Monday evening for seven weeks alter- nately at the homes of the lead- ers, Mrs. Tom Hem and Mrs. Tom Brock. The final meeting was held Sat. April 8 at 2:00 o'clock in the form of a quilting party at Mrs. Hern's home, when the mothers were also invited to attend. This was quite an experience for some of the girls who had never quilted, but all thoroughly enjoyed them- selves. The meeting closed with a lunch of blueberry buckle, German tea squares, relishes, chocolate milk and tea.
