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

part of the expense.

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

Now Ronnie and Lil were
beginning to pray,
That `they wouldn't have to

The till was ringing, Judy was

With all the customers, Bernice

ded to the MV9A library, the
success of the trailer which had
been taken to various fall fairs
and the International Plowing
Match in Sebringville and the
success of the SWEEP project
in Authority activities.
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.
