While Ethiopia had 80 percent tree cover at the turn of the century, now they only have six percent of their land covered by trees. Howev- er, the countryside within the juris- diction of the ABCA has an even lower average - around five per- cent. A healthy environment requires at least ten percent tree cover to provide good water quality, control soil erosion, provide food and shel- ter for wildlife, and produce oxy- gen. Reforestation is a popular de- velopment project in Ethiopia, just as it is here. Every year, landowners, the ABCA and other agencies work to- gether to increase the amount of tree cover. This year, the ABCA was involved with the planting or distribution of 386,000 trees throughout its 1000 square mile area of jurisdiction. The goal of the Authority's pro- gram this year was to work with as many landowners as possible to get a variety of sites planted. The Au- thority planted treks for 67 clients and nearly 200 people picked up 1140,000 trees at the ARCA and planted them themselves. Why did. people want to "tient tines this year? According to the program's supervisor Steve Har- burn, many project were under the Permanent Cover II (PCH) program funded by Agriculture Canada and administered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Associa- tion. Landowners received grants to take fragile land such as eroded hillsides and unused land out of production. Crop yields on those lands were poor because much of the topsoil had already been eroded," said Steve Harburn. "Windbreaks were planted on sandy, erodible lands to protect their crops and preserve .the thin layer of topsoil." "Many of these lands should have been taken out of crop production and put back into trees years ago, but there was never any money to do it until thhePCIII program came t0 be," said Harburn. n. Conservation Authority planting went smoothly this year. "All our planting was done in three weeks. In addition to one ABCA machine - planting crew, two contractors were hired. Seventeen hand planters were hired and did a very good Collection reflects forty years of diamond design LONDON - The De Beers' Inter- national Jewellery Collection is an outstanding 44 piece collection that chronicles the emergence of diamond design throughout the past 40 years.

Weather that is good for vaca- "lions is not always best for the sur- vival of young seedlings. He says thai the hot,. -dry weather in May could decrease survival rates. The trees that were planted later in May may have better success due to ade- quate rainfall. At sites planted by the ARCA, staff apply herbicide to control veg- etation which competes with young Imes for necessary nutrients. Be- cause of this spring's windy weath- er, the ABCA is behind its schedule of applying herbicides and this may also have a negative influence on survival. Authority staff provide free tech- nical advice for landowners who are interested in planting trees. "Our watersheds really need more trees. To do this, landowners, municipalities, the province and other agencies all need to make the commitment to establishing a healthy tree cover that will benefit the environment," concluded Steve. "The challenge is large, but meet- ing the challenge is vital if we are going to pass on a good quality of life to future generations." Illness topic of meeting CLINTON - Dianne Prato, Re- gional Co-ordinator of Southwest - em Ontario for the Depressive/ Manic Depressive Association of Ontario (DMDAO) will be speak- ing at Clinton's OMAF Board . Room on June 17 at 7:30 p.m. to .those people in Huron County area who are interested in learning more about Depressive and Manic Depressive illness which affects one in a hundred people. Prato will talk about what De- pressive/Manic Depressive illness is, what some of the causes are and thow episodes can be handled. and .prevented. Those diagnosed with the illness, family, friends and oth- - ers interested in the illness are in- vited to attend and learn where they.can get more information and help. One in a hundred people are di- agnosed with depressive/manic de- pressive illness. It is an illness that affects not only them but their families and friends. It can be han- dled and a healthy lifestyle can be 5 achieved but his requires available information and resources. These two things are unfortunately in short supply. This information evening will talk about the illness, resources available and the possibility of starting a support group for those affected with and by the illness. Depressive and manic depressive illness is one that sends those in- flicted on emotional roller coaster rides. The people that have the ill- ness have very good even great days full of energy, achievement and ideas and really low, low days where the individual barely has the energy and incentive to lift their heads off the pillow. Some of the world's most creative artists, writ- ers, politicians and public figures of this century and others had the illness. It is an illness that can be coped with and controlled. But to do this, people with the illness and those affected need to learn more about it. That is the rea- son behind CMHA/Huron and DMDAO sponsoring this informa- tion evening. Those planning to at- tend are asked to call CMHA/ Huron at 482-9311 to ensure an ac- curate donut and coffee count.
