IT HURTS--- Rob Keip of the Maitland Conservation Authority looks sternly upon a scene caused by vandals at Galbraith Conservation Area, which has been plagued by such antics as picnic tables being thrown in the pond. (Staff Photo) andals pose threat to conservation area Conserving a conservation area is one of Rob Kelp's primary concerns. Mr. Keip is public rela- tions officer for the Maitland Val- ley Conservation Authority. The threat to Galbraith Con- servation Area, located on the Elma-Mornington boundary about eight miles southeast of Listowel, is vandalism. "We (the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority) want to develop the pork but until there's an end to vandalismi there is no way families will go obt there," Mr. Keip said. The authority purchased the land in 1953 in agreement with the old Department of Lands and Forests. The area had been used as a swimming area for years. lit 1972 development began with a nature trail and campsites. Vandalism has , slowed up further improvements. Some proposals are: more campsites, a picnic area, the swimming area with a raft (provided - by SWEEP), a picnic pavilion, washroom facilities, enlarge- ment of the area, pond improve- ment and stocking the water with fish. Some of these suggestions have already been started. But misuse of campsites, picnic. tables thrown in the water and cars destroying the lawn threaten Property damage ishaps reDorte G. H.

Stresses importance of leadership at service WHITECHURCH — The sanc- tuary of the United . Church was decorated with summer flowers on Sunday for tb�e worship service led by Lawrence King. Mr. King read scripture from the first Epistle of Peter, chapter two. In his meditation, he said, "Jesus Christ recognized that people could go astray and needed a leader to inspire them to great things. We see this in the world today; people need a visible example to follow." Mr. King spoke of the leader- ship that is readily available in Jesus and the example He set when He said, "Arise, take up your cross and follow Me". He stressed the importance of being a strong leader,, for each of us is a minister and must try to set an example. A quintet comprised of Mrs. Muriel Thompson, Mrs. Lorne Durnin, Larry King, Garnet Far- rier and Earl Thompson, sang ."Into My Heart", with pianist Mrs. Garnet Farrier accompany- ing. —A pew has been dedicated to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church by Mrs. James Thomas Smith Paisley in memory of her late husband. —Mr. and Mrs. Jim Meyer were guests Saturday at the wed- ding of Miss Karen Grant in Teeswater. Mrs. Meyer' was soloist for the occasion. —Mr. and Mrs. John Norman and family of RR 3, Arthur Bal- lagh of John Street, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Ballagh of Catherine Street and Fleming Ballagh of Carling Terrace attended the Ballagh family reunion in Tees - water on Sunday. —Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Smith and family, along with Mrs. Georgina MacDonald, have returned home after vacationing in Cape Cod and points along the eastern coast of the U.S.A. —Weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Forsyth were Dr. and Mrs. Bob Page and baby John of Leamington, Mr, and Mrs. Al Schwichtenberg and daughter of Penetanguishene, Mr. and Mrs. John Perrott and family of Orangeville, Miss Rose- mary Forsyth of Port Elgin and other nieces and nephews of Bur- lington. All attended the High- land Games at Teeswater and held a family picnic following the games. WHITECHURCH Mrs. Velma Falconer on Satur- day, July 20, attended the wed- ding in Montreal of Neil Fal- coner, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Falconer of B.C. progress. "It's a favorite drinking spot for the local' youth. we've asked the OPP to do spot checks, but because it's out of the way it's pretty hard to keep track of everything," W. Kelp said. One solution to the problem is to hire apart -time supervisor and to erect a gate strong enough to keep vandals out after dark when most of the damage is done. As it' stands now,' three groundkeepers maintain the area along with 13 or 14 other conser- vation areas. Part oftheir duties at the. Galbraith Conservation Area is to chain the picnic tables to trees after fishing them out of the pond. The chain at the en- trance also has to be replaced ' about as often as the crew arrives. Mr. Keip said he was told that about 100 people will use the area on any given Sunday.

SWORDThat's Students Working on Resource eve pp- ment, a.park of the Ontarie Gene retnetWe mer student encecam e; . 'ro c's 'Expel i- '�. Six SWORD stud nus, may very well prove to be the pioneerafa different kind of provincial park. Exptains 20 -year-old Kathy Dunainore, motor servicers pro - grains director, "Point Parma is the testing gni for new park ideas. These include a creative pla�ouund, figs drill, ?nd naturygrae and pleasure trail; Thena there's the completer; reassemb- ling of park brochures, and also the creation' of a recreation centre within the park'sold barn. But that's just the floor plan. Bryan ter Haar Romeny, a second year student at Queen's University . expounds, "there's great things in store for the camper." He himself is busy exa- mining the plant and wildlife and finds •the area ''quite amazing". "After you get around it's unbel- ievably interesting:" There's also the promise of slide presentations to campers during the summer. This rests in the capable hands of 23 year-old Wayne Zelmer, a fifth year stu- dent of architecture at the University of Toronto. Explains Wayne, "One of the presentations is the park without people in it. Right now I'm constructing Point Farm scripts." Wayne was ec- static when he discovered such a program existed. "It was quite close to what.I wanted to do." The fact that his pos`tion is career oriented meets with hs approval and.it's just "great" getting paid. The other three students will arrive within a week's time, and there will .be more than enough to keep them busy. " e fitness trail has been map ; d out which is 11 miles long wi 16 stops. R's a cardiovascular fitn s drill, not a muscular • one. Each stop .will display a sign indicat' certain, exercises to do."

But never fear,peri says Bryan, VII be more than happy to accompany them alonir the trail. It'll help me out too, as I have to . go, around and check plants by their flowers anyway." But perhaps the greatest effort of all may be revealed with the recreational centre located ,within the park's barn. Already work has commenced. Games Of. ah deeeton—indoors andout- door, for all ages, are rapidly ali- bis, the centre. " y games" informs Kathy,' "will be loaned out too the camper." So don't fret, there's lots to do on those rainy days. „ Bryan is sure that ail the pro- jects will prove "enjoyable to the whole family. Should they Rice to help, we'd be more than happy to receive it." Admits Wayne, "Everyday there's more and more." "It's a fairly good effort in working together," adds Bryan,. A. project that SWORD _ is working on is an attempt to educate the students yes, but it's also an endeavour to get every- one involved, whether for just one night, one week, or a month. And the SWORD 'students like that idea. "It's the campfire at- mosphere . that We're trying to achieve," points out Bryan. But you den' have to -bea former Junior Ranger', liko Bryan %' appreciate the °campfire, gatherings.
