WHITECHURCH Aeration Sweep cleanin Rivers, parks and roadsides in the Maitland River valley have been getting a sprucing up since June 26 by two crews of student workers operating out of offices o the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority in Operation Sweep conducted through the .province by the Ministry of Nat- ural Resources. This week one crew of six stu+ dents, known as the Benmiller crew, was at work along the river course in Wingham, particularly around the lower dam area with Les Tervit of Wingham as fore- man. Another crew was in action in Atwood just west of Listowel, with Michael McNoll as foreman. Actually, it is incorrect to refer to them as six -man crews, because six girls are employed on the Wroxeter crew ancd, two girls in the Benmiller gang. Girls Rough It The female workers are• right into the rough work as well as the boys, and at any distance are in- distinguishable in sweat shirts,. jeans, boots and safety helmets. The girls are into the water, muci, garbage and general slugging en- tailed in cleaning up the water courses And neighboring banks and parks. When visited by the camera- man at the lower dam, the crew was variously engaged in cutting down dead trees, removing old bottles, cans, discarded tires and other refuse from above and be- low the dam. A stake truck, loaned by the Ford Motor Com- pany was being used. Foreman Les Tervit advised that his gang has covered a lot of territory since going into action late in June. They have worked at Benmiller in Colborne Township on clean-up jobs as well as Falls Reserve Conservation Area, their home base, and have also been on clean-up projects at Carlow dump and elsewhere. Another project .was straightening up re- cently planted trees at Howick B'Imore Mr. and Mrs. `Digman of Ux- bridge visited last week with their daughter, Mrs. Vivian Ker- win and family.

Mr. and, Mrs. Walter Moore, _.Linda, Richard and Cindy visited from Thursday to Saturday with her sister, Mrs. Bernard Smith, Mr. Smith and family at Mount Brydges. Their mother, Mrs. Gertrude Moore of Riversdale, was also a visitor at the same home.

The president, Mrs. Oliver Dus- •tow opened the meeting with ,the call to worship and Miss Linda Harkness was in charge of devo- tions. "For the Beauty of the Earth" was sung and .Miss Hark- ness read scripture. The roll call was a favorite book and some- thing about it. Mrs. Jim Busby read several thank -you notes. For the feature of the meeting Miss Gail Renwick played "Jesus Was a Carpenter" and "He Turned the Water into Wine" on her accordion. For study Lois and Eileen Dar ling gave the origin and contents ofrthe new hymn book. They also told of the dedication service held in Trinity United Chuj ch, : Kitch- ener.

Dionne in Magistrate's court at Goddrich Monday on a charge of wounding a Lucknow area youth in a shooting incident July 14. The accused was camping in East Wawanosh park near Bel - grave when there was a disturb- ance alleged to have been caused by the wounded man, William McDonald, 19, of RR 2, Lucknow, along with Ronald Snowden, 18, John Martin, 19, and Terry Jamieson, 16, all of. RR 2, Luck - now. They have been charged with creating a disturbance. Charges of willful damage have also been laid against McDonald and Jamieson involving. a camper trailer owned by Mr. Dionne.

Still another project in this area was cleaning up in the area of the • Senior Citizens' home in Wingham. As the crew toiled in ,the heat and humidity of a sunny summer day, it was interesting to note that in the refuse were a few beer cans imported from the United States and no doubt discarded by campers or fishermen from the south side of the border. There's one consolation about gathering up old discarded beer bottles. The turn -ins are accumulating a small fund which just might finance a back -to -school party for the workers at the first of Sep- tember when they will be re- leased. The foremen will be re- tained until September 15 if available, to continue working with the Maitland Valley Conser- vation employees. This is the second year for Operation Sweep in this area, according to Brian Denney, senior supervisor at the Wroxeter office of the authority where u Mary Anne Fier of T sto*el is his assistant. Working on the crew involved hi the Wingham clean-up were Melannie Matzold of Seaforth, an honors chemistry student attend- ing ttending Waterloo University, who has for company another female stu- dent, Sharon Van Der Meer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maur- ice Van Der Meer of Goderich. Sharon is a fine arts student at the University 'of Guelph. Neither claims any connection with gar- bage collection and their univer- sity courses, but both have a keen interest in preserving the ANOTHER GARBAGE ITEM removed crew members was a discarded truck tire.
