Good farmland is being washed down the river and there isn't any government body doing anything about it, members of the Huron Federation of Agriculture were told Thursday night.

Mr, Alexander, who has studied erosion problems since his retirement in 1974 from his Londesboro, seed cleaning business said government departments are too fragmented to deal with the problem. There is no single agency responsible for erosion in Ontario, he said. One ministry does not know what information the other has collected. The ministry of Agriculture wasn't even aware of river sediment studies carried out by the Ministry of the Environment until he showed them the information, Mr. Alexander said. These studies show the sediment load in area rivers increasing dramatically. The Ausable river which drains 334 square miles had an average daily suspended sediment load of 106 tons in 1970. By 1975 this amount had jumped to 228 tons. , The Maitland river which drains 630 „square miJes has a much smaller suspended sediment load. In 1970 the river carried 33 tons per day and in 1974, 45 tons per day. The sediment carried from farmland is very costly as it blocks rivers and causes flooding, Mr. Alexander said. , ( Roll up your sleeve to save a life... BE A BLOOD DONOR "Erosion is costing thousands of dollars. The Federation of Agriculture should get a knowledgeable committee and find out what is ha'ppening," he said. Mr. Alexander presented the Federation with recom- mendations he had given the Ontario Government earlier in the day at a conference in Lon- don. Demonstration models should be set up in the county showing tile mouth protection and rip-rap spillways at the end of municipal and private tile. Velocity reducing methods for water existing from culverts .hould be demonstrated in the county, along with seeded waterways over the and fords across ditches and creeks, Mr. Alexander said. Provisions should be made to train back-hoe operators in drainage installation and repair, so that they would be available as sub-contractors for hire by ditch and tile contractors. Tile in- stallers and ditch contractors should be trained in rip-rap construction, and other erosion control measures, he felt. Bulletins on erosion control should be made available to farmers, Mr. Alexander said. The only bulletin available was compiled 17 years ago, he said. "Somewhere within our ministries we need trained soil conservationists like they have in the Soil Conservation Service in the United States. Some con- sulting engineering firms have no trained soil conservationists on their staffs," he said. After a brief discussion Federation members decided to refer the matter to the land use committee to draw up a resolution. The Huron County Board of Education approved a suggestion Thursday from South Huron Secondary School in Exeter that a student be hired to repaint the lines on the school gymnasium floor saving the board about $1,000. The suggestion was made when school personnel asked if a student could do the work when a custodian, who will be sanding and refinishing the floor, said he felt repainting the lines was not maintenance work. John Cochrane, director of education, told the board that two problem areas had to be con- sidered before a decision was made. He said the dicision may ruffle some feathers since the student to be hired was the son of one of the school's physical education instructors and that the project may go against board policy with private enterprise. Huron Hope — Continued from Page 4 programs that were previously not available to us. The videotapes are loaned to us from the Board's Media Centre. All the children have now seen 12 programs from the first series of Readalong. The advantage of videotape over T.V. is that we are able to stop the action at any time for a still picture or a replay. As well, we are able to show the tapes several times each at a time during the day that suits us. A list of the words covered this term will be sent home with the children. You may wish to check the T.V. guide for summer viewing of this program. The present series is shown on TVO at 9:20 and 1:50 daily. The children always enjoy having their parents visit and we encourage both parents and friends to see our program. The pupils are quite comfortable with visitors and are proud to show them their work. Mrs. Verbeek, Mrs. Bowker and Mrs. Szabo spent some time with us recently. It is a long time to think ahead to the Winter Games at the University in February but two of our Mothers, Mrs. Klungel and Mrs.' Rowe are making up scarves and hats in a variegated red, white and blue yarn for our team members to wear. Another six lessons of swim- ming have concluded and we want especially to thank the volunteers, Aileen Klungel, Mrs. Klungel, Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Lovell. Their help was very muc.: appreciated. In the fall we will again be asking for volunteers to help with the swimming and we will also be asking for someone who would be interested in helping out students in a sewing program. A new zig- zag sewing machine has been ordered and should be arriving soon. "Have a good summer" Eleanor Scott Marina Jaques Mildred MacGregor Cochrane said the school would like to hire the son of the in- structor since it was advised the student is reliable and it would be more convenient for his father to supervise and probably help him. The director also said the commercial rate for stripping, repainting court lines and refinishing the floor would be about $1,200 and the minimum wage paid the student plus the cost of materials would total about $200. He asked if the project would affect the board's policy on advertising work and how the board felt about com- peting with private enterprise. The board resolved that the principals of county schools may hire students provided the student's capability to perform the task is agreeable to the principal, superintendent and plant. The board resolved that the principals of county schools may hire students provided the student's capability to perform the task is agreeable to the prin- cipal, superintendent and plant superintendent, that the minimum wage be paid and that the total cost of such work is deducted from the appropriate budget and does not cause a ,deficit in said budget. a careless i match can start a AWN e Hifi Times-Advocate, June 30, 1977 Page 5 STEPHEN GRADUATES — The annual grade eight class graduation exercise was held Monday night at Stephen Central School.
