Onforto at yan + 'hunting
season for residents
Ontario residents will get a
bead start in future Ontario hunt -
bit s according to Premier
Wim Davis.
T. Ministry of Natural Re -
sower; is going to provide • resi-
dents
with an advanced hunting

paeify hunters throughout the
Province because of what Mr.
Davis termed "growing concern
over hunters from outside the
province arriving before opening
day andsetting up spots in prime
locationsalbdof local citizens."
The premier also referred to
tourism industry loans initiated
to help winterize, renovate or
generally upgrade and Amprove
facilities for resort operators.

terms and sizes of loans made
more generous." '

many chapters and stories in the
growth and development of his
athletic association in a history of
the WOAA.

of Brussels,, vice president ; Dave
Neilson of Gorrie, second vice

8,045 Play on 412 Teams
"For the benefit of those who
do not understand the league and
how it operates, I would like to
draw your attention to a few
facts. In 1972" the league spon-
sored 412 teams all told, in the
different sports, baseball, soft-
ball and hockey and 'a total of
8,045 players, coaches and man=
agers have registered," said Mr.
Lockridge.
"In addition to your executive
and secretary -manager, a great
many conveners are required,
and I want to thank them for their
co-operation and the part they
play in the league's operation.
•
"In baseball and minerham,;
the league is forced to operator la.
territory allotted to that by tom'
parent bodies.

Many Changes
"A great many changes have
come about in the league in the
first 30 years of 'its existence,
First came the AFFL with the
OHA and this was the work of
Tory Gregg. It was through his
efforts and hard work, and don't
you think for one minute that
these things come easy. This .has
;been lost
oi thinking, on
some day your executive can re-
gain this. f believe it is
sary, and 00144 be for the bet-
terment ,of hockey,.
`There was no intention of
operating other sports, only
nor hockey at that titer, but the
pressure from almost every town
and village in the territory on the
executive caused the eapanslon
to one sport after another, f
they wade quite* contribution to
sports over the years.
Gregg Gets Iced
"As there was not artificial ice
except in Owen Sound, Wedid the
same as they do now, kept may-
ing, and when we were ready fes`
playoffs there was no ice. That ,.
was where Tory area came a
the rescue and through h his .co
nections with the manager of the
Owen Sound arena, the teams
played off there with no _charge
for the ice time. What a relief
when that was over,
"The league in the beginning"
opened up a place for the yoring
player to start and. the men _of
that day realized thisand really
backed the league. That is When.
rinks started' to go up with ice
plants in them, and today there
are not more than three or four
with natural ice.

Throwaway. lines....
•In the U.S., close to 2.5 billion
steel eans will be pulled from
municipal garbage by magnets in
16 centres across the country.
That's three times the number
reclaimed in 1971.
Four markets have been found
for the reclaimed metal.
The steelindustry remelts cans
for use in new steel.
The copper firms use them to
precipitate copper from low
grade ore.
Other centres recover 7.5
pounds of tin coating for every
ton of steel cans.
Alloy manufacturers use scrap
cans with silicon and manganese
for melting and casting purposes.
It's developing into a business
reclaiming goods that " would
otherwise disappear for good in
the waste stream.
But the simplest solution to
waste overload is to keep the con-
tainers and packages that en-
close almost everything we buy
from entering the garbage flow.
A task force established by On-
tario Ministry of the Environ+
ment is well into nine months of
intensive study of waste prob-
lems. One of the challenges it
faces is finding ways to direct
lgo ,ods into a reuse cycle instead
of the dead-end path of throw-
aways.
One area under close examina-
tion is beverage containers.
When you finish your soft drink,
beer, ale, wine or liquor, what
happens to the container?
The trend over the past . few
years has been definitely towards
more and more throwaways.
That means, with cans for ex-
ample, that steel, tin and alumi-
nuni are disappearing into sani-
tary landfills where their reeov--
ery becomes a practical impossi-
bility.
And that's not all that's lost. .
Glass, tin, steel and aluminum
all consume energy iiYtheir pro-
duction. In the case of the metals,
more energy disappears into the
process of forming them into con-
tainers,
And our neighbors jn the U.S.
are in the midst of an itergy cri-
sis. Can we, in a society whose
health depends on energy and ,the
exploitation of resources, afford
to spend this energy inefficient-
ly?
It is a, matter of practical ex-
perience that ane reusable bottle
can be used an average of 20
times. That's one container doing
the work_ of 20 throwaways.
Of course glass is not the only
material suitable for reusable
containers. i!'ou have only to look
at the milk industry to see that.
There, plastic jugs are reused. As
far as that goes, one of the oldest
reusable containers in North
America has to be the milk can.
Not the little one you buy in the
store, but the big one the farmers
used toput out for the dairy pick-
up. They are still around. Bou-
tiques paint flowers on old ones
and sell them at outrageous
prices.
Next week We'll talk- about
some of the options in govern-
ment action that cduld reverse
the trend to throwaways.

Mr. Stewart saithe nine -man

`The Ontario Government's
Land Ilse Conference exposed a
corpt of civil servants eager to
land -zoning that
and xin n g rules t at
would strip farmers . of proper
compensation for development
rights," tlays Frank Wall, vice
president of the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture.
"Farmers should be on the
alert, and make sure they are in-
volved in land -use planning at
both the municipal and the 'pro-
vincial levels.
"We have a lot ,of educating to
do, even among agriculture's
civil servants. Many of these
people were too ready to make
land -use decisions without
enough inilut from the farmer.
It's the, destiny of the farmer's
land that is being decided."
Wall told delegates at the prov-
ia a -wide Toronto. gathering that
Zw n re -zoning takes : away a
farmer's development rights, he
must. rn
t

be co tied "When
l��
society:; ionespaufannee :� and
and causes the value to depreci-
ate, then' society must pay the
farmer for his. loss,
"Many farmers in urban ring
areas are assessed on values in-
flated by development rights.
These development rights have
cost farmers a lot of money in
taxes. Therefore farmers 'de-
serve the right to sell Ato a de-
veloper—to recoup these losses.
If society takes away this right
and gives nothing in return, the
farmer is doubly penalized.
"The OFA supports land -use
planning on the conditionthat
farmers play an active,role and
are compensated for loss of
rights," said Mr. Wall.

Need stressed for
resource planning
Land resource use planning
must get more attention and
more action, says Professor N. R..
Richards of the Department of
Land Resource Science, Univer-
sity of Guelph.
Professor. Richards, for ten
years the Dean of the Ontario
Agricultural College in Guelph, is
a former Bruce County resident
and was raised near Lucknow.
Professor Richards told a re-
cent conference on resource use
planning at the University of
Guelph that increasingly omi-
nous signs point up this need.
High quality land resources are
in short supply. ,
Agriculture -Waste Disposal
. Land is required for many
uses, of which an important one is
agricultural, the production of
food and fibre. Other uses include
urban expansion, recreation,
highways and other transport
mechanisms, and waste disposal.
Some uses require a higher
quality of land than others. For
example, the quality of land re-
quired for agriculture is higher
and the requirements more
specific if used for production of
food than when used for highway
development, urban development
and even airport sites.
No one use can claim all the
high quality land under all cir-
curnstances. If there is a choice
between high and low quality
land the high quality portion
should be reserved for agri-
culture.
Rural Space Fills
In spite of the fact people con-
tinue to migrate to cities, there is
a reverse migration to the coun-
try and rural space is becornln '
more fully occupied than at any-
time previous in this century.
The Land Use Conference was
one of several offered by the Uni-
versity during January.
'Warmers subsidize , food costs
and pay an unfair share ofrop-
erty'taxes. If the future of their
4,
land is decided by non -farmers, it
will Wye sec.4 very .u.,E elitc-
ful for the large contributions
made to the economy by, farm—
ers."
Mr, Wall criticized the Soils
and Crops Branch of -the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, the conference organizer
and host, for not . having enough
farmer input.
