Mike Latta, senior project linIlet's happenings Fun For Everyone Skating was enjoyed by the pupils of Hullett Central on the afternoon of March 14, the last day of school before the Winter Break. The pupils travelled by bus to the Clinton Arena right after lunch. Skates were laced tightly and one and a half hours of fun and exercise followed. The skaters were taken home from the arena on their regular buses an hour eearlier than usual. A Swinging Good Time engineer with the environment Ministry, said the proposed undertakingem `is u ite an un ands g for aplacethe sisize of Egmondville." He said provincial grants would cover 75 per cent of the -cost of the project, resulting in a net charge to Egmondville ratepayers of about $225,000. The ministry would own the system, he said, with the • municipality repaying the capital cost over the 40 -year • period. Measurements of the Bayfield River, he said, showed existing private waste disposal systems were a significant source of water Pollution. The ministry has estimated that "only perhaps 20 per cent" of the existing sewage system February. Elimination and spot dances were a part of the fun. Pop and chips were sold as refreshments.

Residents appeared ,ta feel.. t new system is needed but questioned the costs involved. Resident Lou McNichol said he was concerned that if the residents don't soon act to end the. pollution, the government may order a sewage system be constructed in several years. "And just think what that would do to the costs," he said. Mr. Latta would not rule out the possibilitity of the province ordering the residents to pay for a system at some later date. "We just don't know what the plans are at this time," he said. If approved by a vote of residents, the new sewage system could be started inlate 1976 with a May, com- pletion date.

When you put AAtrex Liquid to work on your weeds, you get more than just AAtrex-clean cornfields. You also get a new ease of handling, convenience and even greater efficiency. That's because AAtrex Liquid is a liquid suspension with no dust AAtrex Liquid gives you the un- equalled AAtrex flexibility of applica- tion: pre -plant, pre -emergent, post -emergent And AAtrex Liquid requires only 10 gal/acre for pre - emergent control and 15 gal/acre for post -emergent c trol. So you can spray more ac es per tankful and take less trips • to your water source. �qJ Plus, you can substitute liquid fertilizer for water during pre - emergent spraying and feed while you weed. Some carry-over may be found where ,spraying has overlapped,. but most crop rotation is unaffected when AAtrex Liquid is used according to label rates for most weeds. This is what makes AAtrex Liquid your best choice for controlling most annual broadleaf weeds and grasses. AAtrex Liquid. The easiest way yet to'grow maximum yield corn in the cleanest fields.

The Government of Ontario recognizes that the cultural traditions and heritages of its peoples are just as important as skills �r, education in building abetter life. We know that it is people and not things that deter- mine a society's greatness and there,, is nothing more valuable to people than their culture. That's why Ontario has established a new ministry devoted solely to supporting com- munity and personal betterment—the Min- -istry of Culture and Recreation. We hope that through a wide range of programs from theatre to hockey, dance groups to libraries, we will be able to keep alive the spark of individual creativity and human excellence that makes a culture worth preserving,. More importantly, we hope to share with others the riches and insights that come from active involvement in community life. A culture must be Shared with other people if it isto stay alive. It is by living our culture that we can really share this gift with other peoples and promote greater understanding among Canadians. The Ontario Ministry of Culture and Rec- reation has been established to promote --a er o,ptagg, cultural expression of all kInd§-and 6ftit peoptes in our province We'T. know that keeping alive our cultural heritage • .is essential to the future of everyone. In Ontario we're doing something about it.
