MVCA gets grant A provincial grant of $107,625 to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority will facilitate the purchase of 200 acres of property in West Wawanosh Township, Huron County. Purchase of the property is part of an • intensive water land management program • for forest and wetland areas identified and mapped by the MVCA, Natural Resources Minister, James Auld said recently in an- nouncing the grant. The purpose of the program is to protect all such areas, particularly those exceding 100 acres through the application of appropriate management techniques such as acquisition, agreement with land owners or regulation, the Minister said. The property to be purchased by the MVCA contains 60 acre Lake Wawanosh, 40 acres of cleared land and 100 acres of forest which resource studies suggest as ideal for forest management, con- servation education, wildlife habitat and various types of outdoor recreation.. The Authority plans to fence the property prior to the preparation of a master plan for the area. The estimated total cost of the purchase is $205,000. it.

The new G.L.C. wagon has 113%, more cargo space than the GLC, and is only 9" longer than the GLC. The new GLC wagon isn't a hatchback in disguise either. It's built to be a wagon, it weighs more, it's 2" higher in the back, it hos bigger front disc brakes, a bigger gas tank and higher road clearance. And in front of that, all GLC's have a new higher per- formance engine for improved acceleration, more pulling power and quieter operation. Just look at what we put into our GLC wagon. And just think of what you'll be able to. -- 464 .� Now in Stock at, First Volvo and now Mazda tool S M -W MOTORSLTD. Volvo -Mazda SALES & SERVICE 1114 EAST ST.
