During the day Authority mem- hero, who were joined u.t';i)iotowel by A. S. L. Barnes, acting chief of the conservation branch, 1'rom\To. mato, toured many points of inter.:* est in the watershed. The group first visited the Suns :;flint* Conservation area in Morris Town: hip, a 38 -acre 'tract which is being reforested. A few miles to tineast the tour passed another 350 acre property which has been purchased as a reforestation and wildlife preserve. Another lovely :site along the river known as the k:thel Conservation area, compris- ing some 27 acres in Grey Towns ship was visited. This area will be developed for recreation and re- forestation. Another tract of about 100 acres in Mnrnington Township, called the (.Galbraith Conservation area was included in the morning trip. This spot is already being used for recreation and has been largely reforested. It includes a spring.fed pool in an old gravel bed that will be used for swim- ming. 1'ravrlling north, the touring party visited the faro. of Albert Hamilton near Listowel, where they saw 0 farm pond that had been constructed by the owner and is used to provide water for stock and fire protection. It was a demon, stralion to Authority members of the type of work which can be ac- complished in this field, The Au- thority has already set a policy to subsidize such projects. Before arriving at Listowel, where they had lunch, the site of a proposed dam for flood control was visited on the river above Lis- towel. This project may not be- come a reality for years, but it was included in a report on flood control problems to the former Middle Maitland Authority when it was first formed. In the afternoon the group tra- velled to Harriston, where they saw an area being proposed by residents of that community for park purposes. Leaving Harris - tort, the bus took the party to Gors rite and on to Wroxeter where they saw a problem in connection with water control at the dam, See Wingliam Park Arriving do Wingham after view- ing the 01111 pond at Bluevale, the numbers were shown work which has been Anne along the river by the Wingham Riverside Parks Beard R. E. McKinney, a mem- ber of the Authority, described to the group the history of the pro- ject and its course of development.
