God looked around His garden, And found an empty space, He then looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face, He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest, God's Garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best, God knew . that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well, In this world again, He saw the road was getting rough The hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, ' And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. —Lovingly remembered by his wife 1Vllargaret, Florence and Bruce, Wm. and Clara Anne, and grand- children. -38x • LARDER In loving memory of our daughter Shirley who passed away September 23, 1953.

On country roads near Guelph, you pass through -the shadowy arches of soft maple and admire the green profusion of the -crowded ferns, below. Amongst the flat cornfields near Lake St. Clair, you find tat- tered pockets of cattails. All these are threatened wetlands -one of Ontario's most un- derrated resources. Since the time of first set- tlement, we have been. draining; filling and dredging wetlands, with the result that 60-75 percent of southern Ontario's original wetland acreage has been lost. Their destruction continues, but the Federation of Ontario Naturalists is urging that we take a second look at their value. A marsh could be described as an oasis of life. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. A freshwater swamp or marsh can produce an average of 2,000 grams of growing plants per square meter each year. Compare that figure with lakes and streams at 500, and agricultural land at about' 650. That productivity shows itself in the number and diversity of wetland wildlife - millions of mosquitoes, yes, but also millions of other predatory insects and birds that help keep the mosquito population in balance. All of Ontario's waterfowl rely on wetlands for their habitat, as do dozens of other species of birds. Frogs, toads, and other amphibians, all insect - eaters, also depend on wetlands. Most of southern Ontario's mam-mals, from muskrat to white -tail deer, use wetlands during at least part of the year. No wonder a prominent Ontario biologist could proclaim: "Wildlife and wetland in, southern Ontario are almost synonymous. Without wetlands, the diversity and numbers of wildlife that we have today simply could not exist'. The water-holdiing capacity of wetlands is also important. Because their peaty soils act like a giant sponge, wetlands can store flood waters and gradually release them later in the season, thus reducing the damaging effects of floods and maintaining summer flows in streams. Some wetlands allow stored waters to percolate downwards into the ground water, assuring a steady supply to neighboring wells. One for all and all for a GOOD DEAL! .

G®derich A Average amount of wheat sold Ontario wheat producers have sold about 543,000 tonne of this year's wheat crop to date, which is about 79 percent of - the estimated production figure. According to figures released by the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board, the volume sold to the end of August -is average for the size of the crop which has been placed at between 600,000 tonne and 685,000 tonne. Last year at the same time, producer sales totalled only 267,000 tonne because of the small crop resulting from poor seeding conditions and winterkill. Total producer sales for 1978 crop were 320,600 tonne which has all been sold by the marketing board. Marketing board sales of 1979 crop producer deliveries to date total 339,623 tonne for both domestic and export markets. About 82,000 tonne has already been exported .and another 144,000 tonne will go in September and,Gctober. . The marketing board price to domestic processors for domestic human . consumption is $173 per tonne f.b.b. country shipping point for September, and the price for • October and -November will be set by the board September 14. Children need eye checks Sight is a child's most precious sense. From birth on, he gradually comes, to depend more and more on his vision for learning and guidance. In fact, about 80 per cent of all school tasks he per- forms depend on his vision, according to the latest figures released by the Ontario Association of Optometrists. Because vision is such an essential factor in child development, visual ability can affect a child's school achied"ement, his social adjustment, and some bf his physical capabilities such as hand - eye co-ordination. If his visual capacity is limited, his interest in activities and endeavours is likewise likely to be limited. Thus, a child's personality can be, in large part, molded by his ability to cope with visual tasks. The great tragedy of all this is that most children with visual handicaps do not know that they are seeing improperly — they assume that the way they see is the way everyone sees. Thus, the respon- sibility for a child's), corrected or improved, welfare, like all other for few health problems respond so completely to proper professional care. • For refractive errors (such as near- sightedness, far- sightedness and astigmatism) con- ventional glasses are ' usually prescribed. Lenses may also be prescribed to enable the child to function visually with greater care and efficiency. Visual training or orthoptics may be prescribed for problems of muscle imbalance, where twb eyes do not work ,together as they should. Sometimes a child may be given visual training to improve the vision of a lazy eye. (amblyopia) The Ontario Association o$ Optometrists recom- mends a complete, professional vision examination before a child. enters kin- dergarten, and annual checkups thereafter to provide maximum preventive dare and early correction. responsibilities for him, lies with his parents. Most vision problems can be corrected if they are detected early. Because of this, and because adequate vision is so important t� a child, the Association urges annual professional vision examination for all school children — protect your child's most precious sense. A thorough and com- prehensive vision examination for a child: 1) Cannot be done hurriedly — .often. takes an hour to complete all necessary tests arid may take more than one visit. 2) Includes a case history — this essential record will contain symptoms observed by parents and teachers, general health history, developmental history, and the child's attitude toward school and play activities. 3) Must contain a complete examination for eye diseases. All but a very few children can have their vision problems
