The projects, which will allow the workers to supplement their unemploy- ment insurance benefits, offer a total of 220 weeks of work at a total cost of $119,543. In addition to trimming branches and clearing brush in tree plantations, four workers in the Chatham area will be developing local fuelwood volume tables. The tables will allow Ministry of Natural Resources staff to, for example, measure a 35 centimetre diameter tree at chest height and know the tree contains approx- imately one square metre of wood, based on the volumes of hundreds of other trees with the same diameter. "These are the kind of tools that will help improve our service to landowners who are managing their woodlots for a variety of useful purposes," said Natural Resources Minister Vincent Kerrio. In the Wingham area, three workers will construct walking trails in two conserva- tion areas administered by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority and make improvements to the Authority's educa- tion centre. At MNR's St. Williams Forest Station, another six workers will upgrade forest ac- cess roads and construct protective devices for young seedlings. Meanwhile, three workers will be ten- ding forests owned by local counties but managed by the Long Point Region Con- servation Authority. In Grey County, six workers will also be engaged in removing competing vegetation and pruning trees in tree plantations in four townships. "Keeping skilled workers in their com- munities is one of the goals of the Canada Works/Section 38 program," said federal Employment and Immigration Minister Benoit Bouchard. The federal -provincial job creation pro- gram is jointly funded by Employment and Immigration Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. The pro- gram includes fisheries, wildlife, parks, lands, forestry and conservation authority projects. Thefederal government provides workers with unemployment insurance benefits to a maximum of $318 a week. The Ministry of Natural Resources provides support costs as well as equipment and materials. The ministry may also provide a wage supplement to match prevailing wage rates. A great many dawns have come and gone since Frank Sullivan was born and, after a chat with the man, one would expect that there are many more to follow. Mr. Sullivan, now a resident of the Country Roads Lodge, has reached the ripe old age of 99 years and attributes his continuing good health to active walks and cheering at hockey games. He was born in 1888 in Kingsbridge where he farmed until his retirement. A great many members of that community were on hand last week to help Frank celebrate his 99th birthday including young Jillien Shelton. Happy birthday Mr. Sullivan and here's to many more.
