Final nlans for the official opening of the school were talked over, and the minutes of the previous meeting and the month's accounts received approval. DEFINE A TOMATO How would you define a tomato? The Encyclopedia Americana shows that the def- inition depends on whether you're a lawyer, a botanist or an ordinary consumer. Legally, the tomato is a vegetable; bot- anically, it is a berry. But or- dinary people treat it like a fruit, eating it raw in salads and drinking its juice. Regard- less of how it is defined the tomato is the second most val- uable garden vegetable crop in North America, second only to the white potato.

A. Kelso Ro- berts announced last week. The tract, to be known as the Falls Reserve Conservation Area, was negotiated for pur- chase at the annual meeting of the Authority a month ago. The total cost was ' 000, and half of the amount will be raised by levy among the member muni- cipalities. Authority Chairman Robert O. Wenger of Wingham wel- comed Lands and Forests quick response to the request for a grant of 50 percent on the land purchase, He said application for a further grant would be made when development of the area gets underway. 0.M. Nickel of Listowel, chairman of the Conservation Areas Advisory Board, said a plan for development of the area would be obtained before any work is done. His commit- tee is recommending provision be made in the 1964 budget to engage a professional planner. Mr. Wenger agrees with the suggestion and said consequent- ly there would be no develop- ment undertaken this year. "It is doubtful if a plan of the area will be completed before fall. This will then have to be stud- ied by the Authority. Develop- ment is likely to be done by stages over the next few years: demonstrated a workedbutton- hole. At the eighth meeting the girls showed their completed work and Janie Woods was sec- retary. The book covers were completed and practice jud- ging was done. 0--0--0 FASHIONETTES LAKELET-The eighth meet- ing was held at the home of Mrs. Gordon Wright, assistant leader, with nine memberspre- sent. Roll call was answered by the showing of completed or nearly completed work. The leader, Mrs, Arnold Gadke, demonstrated the making of buttonholes. Wardrobe charts and the ex- hibit for achievement day were discussed. Finished record books and blouses are to be handed in at the next meeting. The Falls Reserve represents the largest conservation area undertaken by either the old Middle Maitland or the en- larged Maitland Authorities. It is also likely to be the first re- venue producing area, so a pro- per plan of development isnec- essary. Five applications have al- ready been received for rental of 40 acres of agricultural land on the site, Mr. Wenger dis- closed. These are being stud- ied by the Land Use Advisory Board under the chairmanship of Harry F. Tebhutt of Millet Township. The executive has decided that the section will not be rented for pasture purposes. Fencing problems and possible damage to small tree plantings were given as the reason. Ap- plication will also be made to Colborne Township to have a road opened to the property. The Maitland River winds for a mile through the property. An Old Indian camp site is lo- cated on the land and archeol- ogists have already carried out extensive digging, $600.00 Damage In Two Accidents Two separate accidents on Josephine Street caused an es- timated $600.00 in property da- mage over the week -end. At 5.30 on Saturday after- noon Sterling Haskins of Lions Head was proceeding north when he was in collision with another car driven by Herbert Philips of Wingham, just north of the John Street intersection. Philips was parked and when he turned out of the parking space into the traffic lane he was struck by the north -bound Has- kins car. Damage to the two vehicles amounted to about $300.00. The second accident occur- red at the same spot at 2.00 a. m. on Sunday morning, when a car driven by Donald Gurney was proceeding north, and was forced into a parked car owned by Harold Taylor, both of Wing - ham by an oncoming vehicle which was passing another car at the time. Damage to the Gurney and Taylor vehicles amounted to about $300.00. Both mishaps were investi- gated by Constable Ronald Zim- mer of the Wingham Police.
