Pinery Provincial Park, Friends of the Pinery and the Bluewater Re- cycling Association will jointly sponsor a stop over at the Pinery by talented entertainers Jim Gordon and Dave Archibald while on their "Awesome Environmental Adven- ture" throughout the province. Jim and Dave combine theatre, • song and audience participation to devel- op separate adventures on which they discover that abuse of nature has ruined their holiday plans. Acid rain has killed all the fish at their fishing hole; water pollution has wrecked the beach; the thinning ozone layer makes it dangerous to be out in the sun; there's garbage everywhere because the landfill sites are full, and an industrial park has replaced Jim and Dave's fa- vourite wilderness retreat. At the conclusion of the one hour show the audience is left with solutions that can be easily applied at home, work and school. The 7 p.m. Pinery Park Outdoor Theatre presentation Monday, July 29 will be both entertaining and in- formative according to park staff, Bluewater Recycling Association membership and Friends of the Pin- ery. The usual park entry fee will be waived for those attending the show.

What goes around comes around. Consequently, the CO2 con- tent in the atmosphere is ris- ing, and in a few hundred years we are all going to die. It says here. I can hardly wait. On the other hand, an in- crease in CO2 will stimulate the growth of vegetation, and the system will tend to be self-correcting. IT didn't say that; I did. You see, what the experts seem to forget is that our Creator, in his infinite wis- dom, invented both Brazilians and photosynthesis, not nee- essanly-in That order. And that an expert is some- one from out of town. BAILEY'S OF HENSALL LTD. FURNACES - HEAT PUMPS CENTRAL.
