Mr. Cunningham explains.

"We definitely discourage

Tup. seeks gsint
lights
Stanley Township has
applied for a Wintario grant
of ,$$11,200 to put ball lights on
the ball field west of Varna. If
the application is successful it
will be a big boost to Stanley's
recreation program. No word
has yet been received from
the Provincial Government
pertaining to the request.
Joyce DOwson. a member
of the recreation committee,
says at present all the
committee really talked
about is getting the ball field
west of Varna in good shape
and organizing .ball teams.
The committee hopes to
include all ages in its baseball
program from seven years
up, male and female. So far a
number of ladies have in-
dicated their wit r est to
play for fun, not ilk any
scheduled league.
Registration for *Yaryan*

continue until the last Week in
May with Moss Whittaker -of
Varna in charge of
registration.

also plans to sell tides on

Rustic Ball's Bridge
still to be maintained
Scenic and rustic Bali's Bridge near
Auburn is the subject of a bylaw which
will extend the restricted lead limit of
six tons on the bridge for another three
to five years, depending on the Minister
of Transportation and Communications.
Joe Kerr, chairman of the county road
department, said the present bylaw
protecting'' the bridge from overload
expires in November of this year. The
bylaw, according to county engineer Jim
Britnell, is designed to discourage area
residents from abusing the bridge.
Mr. Britnell pointed out that many
people in the area really don't want the
old bridge to be replaced with a new one.
He said the steel framework overhead is
a "vanishing thing within the county"
and is rather picturesque to many
residents.
"We'd like to maintain it as long as
possible," said Britnell. "With careful
usage, it will last for a while yet"
• Colborne Reeve Doug McNeil quipped,
"Enough people are leaning over the
bridge fishing all the time to slow Walk
down." 4

Cornrnereial salmon fishing
banned in Lake Huron
The federal and provincial
governments are taking steps
to close the commercial
• fishery for coho and chinook
salmon on Lakes Huron, Erie
and Ontario because of high
€ levels of polychlorinated
bltenyls, natural resources
deputy minister J.K.
Reynolds said on Saturday.
In an address to the
National Convention of the
Outdoor Writers of Canada at
Dorset, Dr. Reynolds ' said
that the Ministry of Natural
Resources and the Fisheries
and Marine Service of
Environment Canada are
satisfied that PCIA levels are
-sufficinetly in excess of the
£tentative guideline of vo
'parts per million to warrant
;the closing.
, The deputy minister said
" moves were also being made
to close the fishery for eels
• add channel catfish in Lake
' Ontario because of high PCB
levels.
"These steps are con-
sidered necessary to ensure
that contaminated fish are
not offered for sale to con-
' 'sut•ers at retail outlets," Dr.
Reynolds said.

opens its deers to a third
season of visitors on MAY
Visitors will be greeted by a
number of extensive changes
and additions to the faciity.
During the winter months a
number of projects *hued at
the eventual restoration of
the building have been un-
dertaken. Foremost among
these is the major refur-
bishing of the Gernor's
House,
By the opening date all
rooms with the exception of
the kitchen will have been
given the finishing touches,
and restoration to the turn of
the last century will be vir-
tually completed. In addition
to stripping and repapering
the rooms, the woodwork has
been re -finished and close to
50 pieces of authentic fur-
niture have been acquired
and placed in the building.
The house reflects the
gracious and ornate style of
mid-Victorian times.
Another area receiving a
major facelift has been the
stonemasonry walls
surrounding the complex. By
combining funds received
under a LIP grant with
Board revenues, the stone
walls have been extensively
repaired.
A century of patchwork
mortar is being cleared away
and replaced with skilfully
applied cement to restore the
intricate masonry work to its
original state. While the
entire wall surfaces have not
been repaired, priority has
been given to those sections
most badly in need of at-
tention. This section of the
project will continue
throughout the summer
months.
Finally, the winter works'
project included the
restoration of a first -floor cell
block to show the transition
over the 135 year history of
the building from the original
timber linings of the cells (12
x 12 hand-hewn pine) to the
most recent tongue and
groove board siding on the
interior of the individual
cells. A number of pieces of
the original gaol furniture
have been found and used as a
pattern for replacing the cell
block furniture.

question of contamination by
PCBs, there was sufficient
preliminary evidence to
cause concern about the
regular consumption of some
species. he said.
Dr. Reynolds said the
ministry was reluctant to
impose angling restrictions
because angling provided
recreation and relaxation.
"We want to emphasize to
anglers, however, that close
attention be paid to the advice
of health experts about eating
the fish caught," he added.
The ministry of health has
advised people to eat only
occasional meals of the kinds
of fish already referred to
from Lakes Huron, Erie and
Ontario. For example, not
more than one meal per week
of these fish should be eaten.
Women who are, or may be,
pregnant should not eat any
such fish.
Whenever posible., these
fish should be skinned before
cooking so as to remove fatty
deposits which are known to
store PCBs.
Results of analyses to date
have been consistent for
almost all coho, chinook, eels
and catfish, all of which
contained more than two
parts per million of PCBs, Dr.
Reynolds said.

1 am a Quaker and I have
recently been called upon to
testify in a criminal case. but
as you are probably aware.
many Quakers, including
myself, have strong' con-
scientious objections to the
taking of oaths.
Do you know if this is likely
to get me into any trouble with
the law?
No! Under the Canada
Evidence Act. if a person has
religious or conscientious
objections to taking an oath.
he or she is allowed to testify
under a "solemn affirmation"
than they will tell the truth.
The affirmation has the
same effect in law as a sworn
oath. So you need merely
inform the court of ' your
scruples before you are called
upon to testify. and you will
not be asked to swear an oath.
