Rob Keip, information and edu- cation technician with the Mait- land Valley Conservation Author- ity, has worked for the past six months preparing for the week of camp. Mr. Keip went around talking to the various teachers and principals of north Huron County, setting up the various activities. Camp Wyoka was chosen as the' site for the camp and is owned and operated by the White Oaks District Girl Guides. The Guides have had the camp for 13 years and there is a total of 100 acres belonging to the Guides, with 15 of those acres being marsh.

The students studied wild- flowers, the food chain, orien- teering, animals and plants. One of the activities the stu- dents played was the "Survival Game". Marilyn Grainger, hired by the MVCA through Summer Experience 77, was in charge of this game that gave the students first hand knowledge of how the food chain in the animal kingdom works. The students would play the role of some animal, and Marilyn Grainger played the part of man, the hunter. The game would last about 40 to 60 minutes and when they were through, they dis- cussed how each felt in the role played. This activity received the highest rating from the students. On Wednesday, May 18, Rob. Keip invited principals, teachers and the media to come out and see for themselves exactly what the students did and the environ- ment they stayed in. Thirteen schools were invited to partake in this affair and the ones who did show up seemed greatly im- pressed. your tICet-tO eVery`N�e- aguaranteed used car_, .. rttttta►_ 1975 Pontiac Trans Am 1975 Ford Elite 2 door 1975 Ford Ltd Country Squire Station Wagon 1975 Meteor 2. door _ 1975 Torino 4 door 1974 Pontiac Catalina 1973 Meteor 4 door Two 1975 Ford F159 pick-ups 1975'Ford F150 Super Cob 1976 Ford Courier Pick-up 1974 Ford Ranchero Pick-up 1971 Ford LN 750 cab and chassis BRIDGE MOTORS Hwy. 86 East WINGHAM 357-3460 Notice of Road Closing The Municipal Act, R.S.O., 1970, for the stopping up and dos- ing of a certain road allowance.
