The survey consisted of water sampling programs in June1960, September 1962, and Novem- ber 1963. The report said the Mait- land River and its tributaries were receiving streams for both treated and untreated industrial and domestic wastes, but that Listowel and Palmerston were the only municipalities offering some form of treatment to the waste discharges. The results of samples taken at Listowel indicated an im- provement in stream quality since the installation of a sew- erage works, with lagoon -type treatment, but conditions had not been fully rectified at the time of the 1963 sampling. A sample taken several miles downstream from the lagoon's effluent discharge suggested the lagoon may have been over -loaded. A sample taken from the Wallace Drain, downstream from Palmerston, indicated the town was contributing inade- quately treated wastes to the stream. Samples taken at Harriston indicated satisfactory condi- tions in 1960 and 1963, but gross pollution in 1962. The report suggested the time of sampling and flow conditions ONDI MARKET FRUIT CLEVELAND HOT HOUSE 4 TOMATOES Ib. 39c JUMBO 23s CANTALOUPE each 49c LARGE Firm CABBAGE 2 heads 29c LARGE Sunkist LEMONS 1/2 dozen 29c TASTE TEMPTING 1 FINAL at the times of sampling could account for this fluctuation, Samples taken from the ri- ver at Wingham revealed con- tamination but this municipal- ity is installing a sewage works to rectify this situation. At Blyth, it was indicated dis- charges included wastes from a milk plant and a hide -tanning operation. The report pointed out the river was not used as a source of public water supply by any community, but was used for most types of recreational ac- tivities associated with a water- course, including boating, swimming and fishing. The discharging of untreated in- dustrial and domestic wastes created an unsatisfactory con- dition for such activities. The fact that pollution has been shown to exist, the report said, indicates that a contin- uous pollution abatement pro- gram must be carried out by municipalities and industries in the Maitland River watershed to ensure a satisfactory stream quality. The report called for action in this regard.

DOUBLE DUTCH Words which have come down to us frorn the Dutch fre- quently have confusing mean- ings. For instance, a "Dutch oven" was originally an iron kettle and in the Middle Dutch language a "stove" was a heat- ed room. As a matter of fact, this meaning is still'given to kilns and other structures used for drying manufactured arti- cles, raising flowers,. and so forth. ALWAYS CHOOSE I.D.A.
