Kingsley:
"There are more than
150,000 species of flowering
plants. They all have the
same basic structure. Each
flower consists of a floral
stem at the top of which are
carpels and beneath them,
the pollen-bearine stamens.
These are surrounded by the
petals (corolla) and the
sepals (the calyx); together,
these form the floral
envelope.

"The question then is how
does the authority raise that
kind of money in a period of
restraint?" commented Mr.
Howard. ,
By - taking advantage of
government employment
programs resulting in sav-
ings in the authority's 1983
operating budget is one
method. Mr. Howard in-
dicated theauthority is mak-
ing eXtenSiVe use of labor
under the Parks Special
Employment prografn with
wages paid by the
Unemployment Insurance
Commission and a further
subsidy by the province.
For 1983, the authority is
anticipating a building
reserve of ,800 as a result
of the employment pro-•
grams• Alt extra $L0,000 is
already in reserve from a •
1982 fire insurance claim.
The remaining amount of the
authority's share is expected
to be raised as MVCA con-
tinues to use the various
emp loyment programs in
198
There will be no special
levy on the authority's
member municipalities for
the office expansion project
emphasized Mr. Howard.
The general -manager also
pointed out that if the
Ministry of Natural
Resources considers the ar-
chitect's design fees to be
grantable, the authority's
share could' be reduced to
about $95,000.
MVCA chairman Dave
Gower of Goderich said the
authority is fortunate to be
able to put together an
employment project such as
the construction of the addi-
tion.
"Except for the architect's
fee, 100 per cent of the costs
are going back into the com-
munity, '
omamunity," added vice-
chairman Vince Judge of
Listowel.
The addition is expected to
be completed by March of
1984.
