Hello everyone! Rockey Rac-
coon is back. That's right, Rocky
the mascot of the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority is return-
ing to keep people informed
abotit the activities of the Aut-
hority and to present information
on a wide variety of topics
related to the conservation of our
valuable natural resources.
Rocky would like .to remind
everyone, at this cold and windy
time of year of the importance of
windbreaks.
A windbreak is one or more
rows of trees planted around
buildings or fields to cut down the
force of the wind. These rows of
trees are not as necessary or as
practical in towns and villages,
other building slow down the
wind in these areas. They are
valuable around farm buildings.
Council
(continued from Page 1)
was the go ahead and nothing has
been done yet. No matter which
way the council decided, they
would be criticized, councillors
felt.
Council's motion to go ahead
with the sewers authorized the
clerk and the reeve to sign any
further agreements with the
Ministry of the Environment.
Reeve Mccutcheon said last week
that construction should start in
1977: One councillor felt that the
ministry should be asked to get
construction started right away.
Councillors agreed that once
the sewers are underway the
committee which will be set up to
consider variances should include
at least one other person along
with members of council.
Reeve McCutcheon
recommended that when the
sewer work begins council hire an
inspector to make sure that all
work is done properly and all
pipes and drains from basements
are working properly.
A petition asking that council
members resign is apparently
being circulated by those who
wanted council to have a vote on
the se-Wer issue.

Trees planted in the right place
will reduce drifting snow. Anyone
who is continually pushing or
blowing out snow plugged farm
laneways would appreciate this
advantage.
Besides making homes easier
to heat and keeping laneways free
from drifting snow, windbreaks
can increase property values. In
the summertime, they provide
valuable protection for fields
resulting in less soil erosion by
winds, increased crop yields and
protection for grazing livestock.
• The most common varieties of
trees used in' windbreaks in
Southern Ontario are Norway
Spruce, White Spruce, White
Cedar, Scotch Pine and Carolina
Poplar. These species are used
because they are fast growing,
hardy, have a long life expectancy
are resistant to insects and
diseases and are pleasing to look
at.
An ideal windbreak will pos-
sess the following characteristics:
It 'will be composed of more
than one species of tree. The
trees will be planted in rows at
right angles to the prevailing
wind direction. (west or north-
west). It will be located from 60 to.
100 feet to 'the windward side of
