Members of the executive com- mittee for this year are Jean Liesemer of Mildmay, Ken Petrie of Port Elgin, Jim Green of Wellesley and Gordon Rathburn of Durham. 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. ALF LOCKRIDGE Secretary -Manager W.O.A.A. 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. • Pro Products "In hockey some of the' boys went on to greatness, such as Paul Henderson, Oary Doak, Larry Jeffery, Doug Brindley, Don Liesemer and out of our mi- nor system now. there is Bill Brown of Wingham, Andy Whitby o Lucknow, Danny Gloor of Mit- Raised near Lucknow . •Prof. Richbrds heads study of ministry ofagriculture ESTATE MARKETING SERVICES Auction Administrators Acting .in your interests sell- ing houiiehold effects and an- tiquities through a respected, established auction centre. b./Ingham, Ontario J.

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.

"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 1 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. .17 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.
