McCurdy Public School and Clinton Public School assisted the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority with tree and shrub hand planting at the Morrison Dam Conservation Area and Clinton Conservation Area recently. Through planting the trees and the shrubs the students gained first hand experience "why trees and shrub species have to be planted in certain areas: They also discussed the water holding capabilities of forested areas and their wildlife potential. The Conservation Authority field staff are very busy as well this time of year planting seedling stock on private as well as Authority owned properties. The Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority, through its reforestation assistance programs offers the private land owner an opportunity to return •marginal agricultural land to forest or replace or establish a shelter belt on their property. .The Authority suggests in- dividuals order now for next year to avoid disappointment, The Authority, through its mechanical tree planting assistance program, will plant a minimum of 1,000 to a maximum of 5,000 seedlings at a charge of Suggest cards at scout house The annual question of a facility for Exeter's card players has been turned over to the board of management of the South Huron Recreation centre. That was the information given to Councillor Harold Patterson when he broached the matter this week. Councillor Lossy Fuller, a member of the Exeter recreation committee, said her group had turned it over to the board. When asked if the board had come up with a solution, Mayor Shaw said he thought so, an- nouncing that the card players have been advised to conduct their daily games at the Scout Hall. "There is no alternative," he said. Councillor Ted Wright agreed, saying that the place was set up for them and that's where they should be. "It makes so much sense," Shaw added, there's a senior group there already and all the card players are senior." During the winter months, the card players use the bowling green clubhouse, but must vacate during the bowling season. $35 per 1,000 seedlings planted. The cost of the seedlings is $10 per 1,000. The Farm Tree Replacement Program will provide lan- downers with large tree stock for establishing or replacing wind- breaks or shelter belts, These trees are approximately three feet high and cost from $1 to $2 each. Through the Authority's mechanical tree spade service large stock, up to 3 112 inches in diameter, can be relocated and planted, The rental charge is $45 per hour plus a mileage charge. This service does not provide the tree itself. Fence corners, steep slopes, or wet areas can be hand planted. The Authority will provide a $50 subsidy per 1,000 seedlings No action on bridge • Exeter council took no action this week on a suggestion that the splash panel be removed from the west side of the Main St. bridge. Works superintendent Glenn Kells explained that the bridge had been damaged three times in the past year and a ministry of transportation and com- munications official had won- dered if the splash panel could be removed. Kells said a flashing light could then be placed on each end of the bridge to warn motorists that the travelled portion of the road narrows, Councillor Ted Wright asked if the splash panel would save a pedestrian who may be walking on the bridge when a car hit. Kells said a pedestrian would probably be killed because the panel did not act as a guard rail, Reeve Si Simmons said he would be against removing the splash panel due to the number of small children using the walk on the bridge. Councillor Ken Ottewell agreed, noting that during some horse play a youngster could be pushed onto the road if there was no panel. Council then turned their at- tention to the foot bridge that was damaged in the park this spring by flood waters. Kells said the arches had been broken; although the decking was still useable. It was agreed to take the matter up with the Exeter Kin- smen, who had erected the bridges during Exeter's cen- tennial, to see if a deal could be negotiated to have the bridge replaced. The Canadian Cancer Society's annual expenditures on research have now risen to $10 million. What is being done with this money? Right now in Canada, the search for causes of cancer in the environment is being undertaken by cancer epidemiologists. These scientists hunt for possible connections between cancer incidence and sex, age, diet, social habits, race and geography. Epidemiological studies have already singled out cigarette smoking as a cause of most lung cancer and some cancers of the bladder, It is anticipated that, in the next few years, studies of the Airs objections over littering Councillor Ted Wright said this week the amount of littering on Exeter's Main St. almost makes him ashamed to be a citizen of the community. "People don't give a damn about nothing," he commented, adding there wasn't much sense in the local businessmen planning to beautify the town until people became more concerned and took steps to correct their habits. Wright noted that students who eat their lunches on the steps of the municipal office leave debris around, as do others elsewhere on the street. Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor suggested Councillor Steve Pfaff take the matter up with his fellow students at the the high school. "It's not just the high school, it involves adults too," Wright explained. Mayor Bruce Shaw said there was a $10 fine, but the bylaw needed to be enforced. Councillor Ken Ottewell said he would take the matter up with the police but indicated the depart- ment probably wouldn't do much about the problem. "Don't expect too much in the way of results," Ottewell an- nounced. diet, social customs and habits, previous illnesses and medical care, occupation and even the ethnic origins of Canadians will lead to the identification of more causes of cancer in our en- vironment. This, in turn, will make it possible for greater prevention of the disease. Some Canadian scientists are engaged in immunological research aimed at unlocking the mysteries of the body's natural defence mechanism —its immune system in the hope that it can be harnessed to fight cancer cells. This system attacks and disposes of foreign substances, including foreign cells. For some reason, which scientists are hoping to discover, the immune system tolerates cancer cells, which are foreigners. Researchers are looking into the possible ways in which the body's immunological response may be stimulated to fight cancer. While epidemiological and immunolgical research will probably make important contributions to the control of cancer in the future, there is research being carried out out which has a more immediate contribution to the welfare of cancer patients, This involves the testing of new surgical and radiotherapy techniques and new drugs and drug combinations. These clinical trials, as they are called, compare the ef- 'DARLING'S IGA LUCAN OPEN MONDAYS OUR, AD NOW IN CONSUMER NEWS -EVERY WEEK — DARLING'S — The City Supermarket In Lucan tillage festiveness of different treatment methods. Successful results lead to widespread adoption of more effective treatments. What have we got to show for the million which the Canadian Cancer Society has already spent in the past? The five-year sur- vival rate for all cancer sites now averages 52 per cent compared with 40 per cent twenty years ago. The problem of cancer can be compared to a giant jig-saw puzzle and the pieces are hard to find - very often it is even difficult for trained investigators to know CLOCKS AHEAD Area residents are reminded of the return to Daylight Saving Time this weekend, Clocks are to be turned ahead one hour before retiring Satur- day night and all churches in the district will be starting services at the new times, PINERY OPP Cpl, D.E.

The Conservation Authority urges you to act now if you wish to plant next year. The increased demand for trees at all nurseries necessitates the early ordering. Many different deciduous and coniferous species are available. Contact the Authority Office in Exeter and talk over your planting needs. They would be only too happy to give you their individual attention. Planting a tree gives one a personal contact with something living and provides a great contribution to the watershed. 3 BIG DAYS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY OF PRE-INVENTORY BARGAINS ' Next week, at the conclusion of our first year in business, we must take stock.
