In scanning the Mitchell Advocate we note that the
Public Utilities Commission has had nine years of acci-
dent - free work. --- Frank Anderson, marked his .80th
birthday, was honoured on the occasion by his family and
grandchildren at a supper which was held at the Lions
Park. --- Mr. and Mrs. Norman Dow, Hibbert, son-in-
law of Hector McPhail, Mitchell, held a birthday dinner

was caught by Bill Barnes of Penetang and Exeter OPP
Constable Bill Lewis is his son-in-law.
A delegation of Senior Citizens met with Bayfield
council with a request that they consider a senior cit-
izens home for the village. Council agreed, according
to the Zurich Citizens News, it was a much needed pro-
ject and would give it every consideration.
The Wingham Advance-Times reports that negotiations

The oldest settlement in Can-
ada, at Annapolis Royal, Nova
Scotia, has been partially re-
stored at the O'Dell Inn Mus-
eum in the style of the 1850s.
One room houses "The Days
of Sail" collection. This is a
display of pictures, records,
mementoes, models, and tools
of the ship-building trade from
1840 to the end of World War
1. The first ships build in
North America were launched
nearby in 1606.
The Schoolmaster's House,
dating from 1790, contains a coll-
ection of education aids from
pioneer days.
These two buildings are the
first phase of a restoration of
St. George Street, the home of
Canada'S wooden shipbuilding
empire. It was the third largest
in the world at the time.

Stunting the plant growth and
yield reductions can be caused
by various factors: inadequate
moisture, poor soil, improper
spray methods. Recently air
pollution has been found to be
another factor affecting plant
growth.
Three main components of air
pollution injurious to plant growth
IF existing in high enough quant-
ities are sulfur dioxide, fluoride
and ozone.

in herbicides and fungicides, as
well as testing various plants
for pollution-tolerant strains.
When present at low levels,
ozone screens out harmful ul-
traviolet rays of the sun. Oxone
levels increase when partially
burned hydrocarbons and nit-
rogen oxide compounds react in
sunlight to form ozone. At these
high levels, Ozone mixes with
other particles in the air to pro-
duce a "photochemical fog" or
smog. Ozone is the main com-
ponent in smog.
Smog occurs in "episodes"
- periods of 2 to 3 day duration.
All it takes is one episode to
wipe out certain crops, such as
green onions, or damage others.
Plants with slight ozone damage
often show a spotted upper leaf.
More serious damage can scorch
the leaves completely, causing a
partial or total breakdown of
photosynthesis (food producing
mechanism) in the leaves. Gen-
erally there is some yield re-
duction. Soybeans, tobacco, on-
ions, tomatoes, potatoes and
white beans are particularly sus-
ceptible to ozone damage. Some
strains of tomatoes and tobacco
are tolerant of fairly high levels
of ozone.
Muck and cash crops are not
only ones affected, says Dr. Or-
mrod. Soybeans, white beans
and hortiChltural plants have been
damaged in areas near an in-
dustrial or built-up area or down-
Wind from them. Corn sprayed

Ozone smog can damage crops
episode of smog is often dam-
aged when only the weeds are
affected under normal conditions.
Dr. Ormrod said that plants
treated with fungicide have add-
itional protection against fungus
infection through the interaction
of the fungicide and ozone.
Research indicates that crops
fed with nitrogen are more likely
to be damaged when the nitrogen
and ozone interact. By apply-
ing a sulfate compound the dam-
age was reduced on test crops.
The main drawback of this treat-
ment would be the greater cost
involved in commercial crop pro-
duction.
It has been found that envir-
onmental factors such as high
temperature, high relative hum-
idity and high light intensity,
when combined with air pollution,
can cause severe setback to
crops. Also plants that are irr-
igated regularly appear to be
more susceptible to ozone dam-
age. Water-stressed plants (th-
ose that get a minimum of water)
have been found to withstand
pollution episodes relatively
well.
Research is continuing atGu-
elph to help the farmer under-
stand the relationship between
Plant growth and air pollution.
Planting tolerant varieties and
the application of chemicals to
combat the effects of ozone are
time consuming and costly. But
awareness of the problem and
further research may help pre-
vent crop losses.
