After talking about what has been done and then, seeing it, it is much clearer,This trip also brought the class to-gether and we learned a lot about each other. I know that some of the kids who went just to get out of school, returned with more interest in the course." "Mr. McCauley, this trip was excellent in my view; I believe I learned more on this outing than on any other trip I have taken with the school." "As an Environmental Science student I feel that all who went on the field trip would benefit. There was something for everyone. It showed us how the public's money is spent and I feel that all of the public would be pleased with their projects. One of the things that fascinated me was the fact that the areas the Authority used were very clean. I was very surprised at how good the park That's what Alliston needs." (end of quotes) Well, Bill I think the above "says it all", However there are a couple of thoughts I would like to leave with you and the people of the Exeter area. One never really appreciates what he has at home until he leaves and comes back to visit. That's how I felt on Saturday travelling around town and seeing old friends and acquaintances, I heartily encourage all your citizens to boost the Exeter Centennial celebrations and for heaven's sake get involved , be a part of something that will be remembered into the next cen- tury. Then, when visitors drop in and compliment your town on its achievements, you can have the satisfaction of saying to yourself, "By, gosh, I had a hand in that." Andy Dixon once gave me a definition of a "conservationist", which I think is still quite apt. He said a "conservationist is a fellow who plants a tree under the shade of which he knows he will never sit." Such a philosophy is not quite true now from a technical standpoint with mechanical tree-spades and such available, but I believe the basic idea is still valid whether applied to citizen involvement with community affairs or to conservation. Happy Birthday, Exeter! You may be 100 years old but you wear well, and you're still pretty enough to have some secret admirers! DANCE to the "'sic of Stor ,Trex Saturday, June 16 9 1 a.m, !MERTON ARENA Admission $4 per couple Sponsored by Arena Bawd Abraham's Children & Casper Concert & Dance Friday, June 15 8:30 p.m. ILDERTON ARENA Admission - Advance $2.00 At door $2.50 some residents are blaming me for the closing of the dump. When I Appeared at the OWRC hearing in the early spring I did not object to the site being used as a landfill site. I did object to the way it was being operated. I objected to the burning of rubber tires and plastics from local industries. I still object to the clouds of smoke which hover over the area almost every day. The smoke is un- sightly, smelly and I wonder about its effect on the health of people and animals. also wonder if all this waste of materials is necessary, Each time I buy a bicycle tire I wonder if I am also paying for one that has been thrown out at the dump. I have also heard rumors that some residents plan to dispose of their garbage along the roadsides if the dump is closed. I hope that no one would be so thoughtless and uncaring. However, I realize that these people are unhappy with the decision to close the dump, I urge these people to go to council with their grievances and to discuss possible solutions to the problem. The council meetings, like the OWRC hearings, are open to all citizens. Stephen township council meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. Yours truly (Mrs.) Margaret McClure Best personal regards Terry McCauley Alliston, Ont. * * Dear Bill: It was enjoyable seeing you last Saturday when I was in town for the, official opening of the Ausable BayneId Authority of- fice. It is certainly a far cry from the back seat of Fred Jackson's station wagon or the cramped quarters in the house on the south-east corner of Main and Huron Streets. Our short conversation reminded me that I had intended to share a few student reactions with you, which came out of a grade 11-12 Environmental Science and Geography field trip to the local watershed on May 10 and 11. During the school year, I have been referring to the Ausable- Bayfield area as a "case-study" of how conservation "ab populo" is done in Ontario. The two-day field trip to Western Ontario was the culmination of these discussions and the following typical quotations from their reports on the excursion, show how interested and impressed they were: "I found this trip very wor- thwhile and I think it should be intensified and studied yearly." "Although the Ausable- Bayfield watershed is out-of-the- way, because it is the oldest and because it is different from our own (the Nottawasaga), it arouses greater interest in the students," "None of the people we talked to talked above our heads. They talked to us and they didn't treat us as if we couldn't possibly understand, The atmosphere was one of friendly, hospitable people who were as interested in us as we were in them," "This area was really big and a lot of work has been done. It's the biggest project (of conservation) I've ever seen, and the people in the Ausable-Bayfield watershed should be proud. I think more work of this sort should be done." A YOUTHFUL HELPER - During Saturday's car wash at Dole's Sunoco sponsored by the Registered Nur- sing Assistant students at South Huron hospital, a youngster got into the act. Above, Kim Hoffman of Dashwood helps Donna Schilbe with her polishing chores. T-A photo Sir: In last week's paper the write- up of Stephen Council meeting announced that the dump on lot 3, concession 5 is to be closed. The Ontario Water Resources Commission has decided that because of the high water table the site is unsuitable for a landfill operation. In fact, because of the high water levels the township has not been able to carry out their proposed plan to cover material each day.
