And they're inexpensive. But not cheap. Here's the difference. Inside most cheap watches, metal rubs against metal 432,000 times a day. Naturally, they wear out. But Cardinal's precision parts pivot smoothly on 17 working jewels. So a Cardinal keeps on keeping time long after a cheap watch has stopped. Give the gift of a lifetime. Give a Cardinal.

Area music lovers will have a rare opportunity this Sunday. The London Symphony Orchestra will be staging a program of Christmas sym- phonic music at South Huron District High School. The program is being presented by the Parent Teacher Association of Precious Blood Separate School. All proceeds will be for the South Huron Recreation Centre fund.

It's the first time in several years that the London Symphony has performed in this area, although the orchestra annually makes about 50 performances in the London area. The Flood Control and Valleylands comittee of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority reported on progress of their 1976 program at Friday's annual year-end meeting. This Advisory Board is responsible for the visible types of projects which one readily associates with water management and erosion control. In this latter area, the Walker Drain Erosion Control project, involving the Township of Stephen and the Village of Grand Bend,has been completed at a total cost of $90,000. The project, which consisted of regrading and lining 1,200 feet of badly eroded channel with gabions, should ensure the long term stability of the channel, thus protecting the investments of a considerable number of rate payers in these municipalities. An update of a preliminary engineering report on Erosion The orchestra will be under the direction of Clifford Evens. He said that the 30 full-time mem- bers of the orchestra have ac- cepted their new role of travelling musicians with great optimism. While capacity houses and standing ovations are in- vigorating, the frequent bus rides in uncertain weather coupled with a very demanding schedule offer a formidable challenge, he explained. Many commentators and critics have expressed surprise that a community of London's size could produce such a proficient and exciting ensemble and concert engagements in centres as far away as Kingston and Niagara Falls are in- Control in Grand Bend along the banks of the Ausable River has been presented by Crysler and Lathem Limited, and it is recommended that an additional $670,000. worth of erosion protection is required to achieve stability along these banks. It is expected that the project, to be funded jointly by the province, the municipality, the affected landowners, and the Conservation Authority, would be phased over a five year period, the most critical area to be un- dertaken in 1977 at a cost of ap- proximately $100,000. Reports have been received from Golder Associates, and from J. F. MacLaren Limited ion erosion control works requiredkOn the Pergel Gully in Hay ship, and on Kingsmere Gully in Stephen Township, north' of Grand Bend. Work on these projects may be undertaken in 1977 with financial support from the landowners involved, however, no firm commitment has been made as yet. The results of the Authority's Fill and Floodline Mapping Report, prepared by J. F. MacLaren Limited, are expected by year-end, and will provide the Authority and its member municipalities with a valuable tool for ensuring that new development or changes in land use occur in a manner which will 'not result in hazards to human Institute meets at Clandeboye The December meeting of the Clandeboye Women's Institute was held Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Gerald Lynn with president Mrs. Bruce Henry in charge.

Clifford Evens was appointed music director of the Symphony in 1949. Born and educated in Vancouver, he taught violin at the University of British Columbia and performed for many years as a professional violinist. He was a member of the Toronto Symphony for eight years under Seiji Ozawa. He is a former member of the faculty of music at the University of Western Ontario, where he conducted the orchestra and directed several major opera productions.

When the report and mapping have been finalized, the municipalities will be given the opportunity to review and adopt the recommendations so that the Authority can undertake to establish its regulation covering fill and construction in areas described by the mapping. While floodline mapping is valuable for ensuring that new developoment will be safe from hazards of flooding, it is recognized that a system of Emergency Flood warning is essential for existing areas of development 'which may be subject to some degree of flooding under certain conditions. Over the course of the winter, the Conservation Authority in co- operation with the Ministry of Natural Resources, will be contacting its member municipalities in an effort to establish in each a flood con- tingency plan. This plan, in ad- dition to identifying areas of possible hazard, will out-line a chain of responsibility and a system of procedures to be followed in order to protect human life, minimize property damage, and to provide relief in the event of a disaster. It is hoped that the municipalities will respond with enthusiasm and co-operation in the formation of this critically important plan. The Flood Control Advisory Board is headed by chairman Wilson Hodgins and includes Jack Delbridge, Joseph Hunking, Donald Lithgow, Gordon Mogk, William Schlegel, Robert Sharen and Paul Steckle.
