MAITLAND AUTHORITY ELECTS Bluevale Recreation Area for /Memorial Establishing a new policy for election of officers, naming an area the "Louis Blake Duff Memorial" and striking a bud- get which almost doubles the 1962 estimates were among the major accomplishments of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority during the annual meeting held in Brussels. Harold Cosens, Wallace Township representative, was again elected chairman and Robert 0. Wenger of Wingham, vice-chairman. O. M. Nickel of Listowel heads the former Parks and Recreation Commit- tee but which now becomes known under the title "Conser- vation Areas and Wildlife" ad- visory board. Alvin D. Smith, Bluevale and reeve of Turn- berry Township, retains chair- manship of the Flood Control Advisory Board. Other advisory board chair- men include W. J. Kelterborn, Milverton, public relations; Harry F. Tebbutt, Londesboro, Farm Ponds and Land Use and Daniel Bauerman, McKillop Township, reforestation. Other area municipal repre- sentatives elected to advisory boards are John R. Coghlin, Elora, flood control; James Reid, Mornington, Conserva- tion Areas and Wildlife; E, H. Strong, Howick, public rela- tions; Merril J. Mitchell, Mary - borough, Flood Control; Mason Robinson, East Wawanosh, Farm Ponds and Land Use and Ross Smith, Morris, Flood Con- trol, Recommendations of the nominating committee, head- ed by Mr. Cosens, were unani- mously adopted by Authority representatives of the 29 muni- cipalities, These call for a two year limit on the terms of the chairman and vice-chair- man of the Authority and a re, - organization of Advisory Boards every two years, NEW PARK When representatives agreed to accept a five -acre parcel of land without cost from the Blue - vale Recreation Committee as • a conservation area, Reeve Smith of Turnberry suggested the site be named the "Louis Blake Duff Memorial" in tri- bute to the native of Bluevale who became a leading national literary figure. Mr. Smith recalled that Mr. Duff, who still has sisters re- siding in the village, after graduating from the Listowel High School, became publisher of the Welland Tribune. He became a noted humorist and public speaker as well as writer. Mr. Duff was honored by a university and given a doctor- ate's degree for his work as historian of the Niagara dis- trict. LARGER BUDGET The Authority adopted a budget which hovers close to the $50, 000 mark, although member municipalities will only raise $24,165 with the re- mainder coming through govern- ment grants. The Maitland's total budget last year was $22,500. Purchase of a truck, engag- ing a full-time working superin- tendent and an increase in con- servation services are respons- ible for the budget hike. Conservation projects in- cluding a $2,000 expenditure in Harriston; $300 at Bluevale and $15,000 river retaining and bank stabilization program at Listowel were also adopted as Authority schemes. These, however, do not affect the overall Authority budget as cost Is borne almost equally by the benefiting municipalities and the Conservation Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, BAYFIELD VALLEY Representatives agreed to a request from Mayor William Miller of Clinton and Mayor Nelson Cardno of Seaforth for a meeting with Bayfield water- shed municipalities to acquaint them with an authority program. The chief magistrates explain- ed their municipalities are only on the fringe of the Maitland and said they would favor hav- ing the Bayfield watershed merge with the Maitland Au- thority.
