M•IVgA- The Maitland Valley Censer- vatiOn " Authority has given their ' approval to the acquisition of a 400 -acre parcel of land in East Wawanosh Tow ship. The decision came about during a general meeting of the Authority last week. The area, which is located Q the east half of lot 30, all of logy $1, and the west half of lot 32, con.7, East Wawanosh, consists of two sets of farm buildings, 160-170 • acres of flood plain area and the rest is forested area. It straddles the Maitland River and also has the Belgrave creek running through it. Resource Manager --Andrew McBride said he thought the area could be developed into a "pretty' gond,"' wildlife area and it has ,"o><te' of the best trout streams in the area." - Purchase price for the area is $55,000. The 'acquisition is sub- ject first to approval by the Ministry of Natural Resources. No definite phis for the area have been. made, but it will be managed, by the Reforestation, Land Use . and Wildlife Ad- visory Board of the Authority. A study of the land and plans will likely. lie made next `year.' Steps to control erosion at the'Lower Wingham Dam and po�,,d, will be undertaken sora' time in the new -year by the Authority: Erosion problems around the ,concrete abutments are caused• iby people using the dam for -r fishing. During the meeting, it • was also stated that the trees will have 'to lie removed froiii the dyke for the same reason. The trees are .rooted in the dyke and, if they fell over could damage the dyke and cause • floods to occur. • • The same type of work was ,undertaken last year in Gerrie said a member ,of the Authofity. - The area to be corrected is owned by Wi hm a.sti-. t was - stated in the notion• that°'they would 1?e responsible far la large part of the expense.

Mr. McBride said, "It will be easier. for us when we get ,our regulations passed. The present regulations have just not been s't'rict enough. We have now set down a set of regulations which will be as strict as those used int. provincial parks." - Grant McLellan; chairman of the Reforestation, Land Use and Wildlife Advisory Board reported that his board had tin dertaken the aquatic weed con- trol program, reforestation of some 8,800 trees, established wood duck nesting boxes, and other projects.

Regular customers as well as. casual acquaintances at CTC will appreciate it: CTC CHRISTMAS 1972 Twas three weeks before ' Christmas when all through the store, Hardly a customer had walked thru the door. The Christmas decorations were',all hung with care, In hopes that some customers soon would be there. The stock room was bulging right out by the seams, While Dick peered out his win- dow, with all kinds of dreams. Jack in the Hardware, Bill in the Sports, , , Had nice Christmas gifts of all differens sorts. Outside the ground was still green, as could be, Woody- had no tires to install and was blaming McPhee. When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter, Everyone ran from. the coffee - room to see what was the mat- ter. Then what to Dick's wandering thoughts should 'appear,'" But the Santa Claus parade bringing customers in high gear. Ian and Alberta, so' lively and quick, Filled up their shelves to suit dear old Dick. Poly & Alice, always in a dither, Could never find Bob neither yon nc r hither: Now Ronnie and Lil were beginning to pray, That `they wouldn't have to Fork coma; this"'Saturday.

Mr. McBride in his report -as. Resource's Manager, said, "Project SWEEP '72 deserves special mention , as 1 feel it was even more successful' than in 1971. Our SWEEP staff of 18 included eight giria who worked just. as ° Ijird as the — wr boys. Again we were lucky to have a conscientious group of students who are a credit tt their generation." Cost of the SWEEP project for 1972 was $17,523.80. The project is completely subsidized by the province. Jet 1972, the Authority budget of $180,675 ' was ap- proved. Thus far -they are under budget because many projects undertaken were not com- pleted. The MVCA proposed budget for 1973 is $292,707.
