It is a very good opportunity for a town to take advantage .of what a Conserv vation Authority can do," said McBride. "There have been' significant improvements in 'a number of communities in the watershed." At Listowel, McBride told council, over $100,000,jhas been spent and a similar amount' has been utilized at Wingham. About $139,400 has, been spent at the Falls Reserve near Be°nmiller to date. More improvements are slated 'for that area this year, said McBride. , A small dam and -pond for "put - and take fishing" is now being planned as well as a maintenance building, a games field and a hall park. He also said the Authority will spend about $6,500 in 1972 to find out if swimming facilities in the area of The Falls are feasible. For the first time in, 1971, Mc'l3ride said, a fulltime superintendent 'was hired for the Falls Reserve park. For the first time, also, 'the area showed . a profit at year end. "We're looking forward to a better year , in 1972,Y' said McBride who also noted. that increased camping space is being planned at the l enni1ller site.

IThroti Riding, Mar 18 and 19. 0 A few weeks ago the Si,gne),-Star,pubI is"hed a photograph and story °about Stewart Steenstra, operator of the B•ur'ger.Baron K ingston Street, who found a .woman's watch had been frozen with a bag•of potatoe chips and shipped all the way from the frozen food manufac'turer's plant in New Brunswick to him. Mr. Steenstra only found the watch, however, afier he had fried the chips (and watch) at,temperatures about 350 degrees. He took it out, let it'cool off, then wound it up and away it went. Of course it had to be a Timex. This week, Mr, Terrance Hussey ofSeaforth, seen above with hits new Timex Marlin watch, dropped into the Signal -Star office and filled us Mon some ne9'v developments. He had seen the story published"about the accidental torture test, clipped it out and sent it to the Timex - p people. They promptly .replied with a letter saying they received many such 'stories from people about their Timex watchesbut that this one was one of the most unusual. Mr. Hussey also received "the new watch for his trouble. .. ' n d Advertising In addition, theSignal-Star received a loner, from the t?o al sand Reynolds Ad ertisirig Story rv' and Marketing Agency, asking for co re+spf the aboutOK Steenstra's'discover'y. The Advertising Agency has the Timox COM ariy.iimong its .client$ Atthough M- Steenstra had written the TienexpeOple right after the incident, hi has at yet had no reply. The plot thickens.
