Cold temperatures and rain didn't stop Tots of people from stopping at the midway, though. (Staff Photo) HAVING FUN ANYWAY—The cold wind and the rain was not going to dampen the spirits of these Howick Township youngsters, as they rode the "Scrambler" at Howick Fair on Saturday. The midway did a remarkably good business, considering the weather. MVCA proposes prgIects.. Advisory body set TO am up for business or Canada Works progvr c,anaaa v�►orKs The Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority is awaiting a deci- sion on its application for a grant under the Canada Works pro- gram which, if approved, would provide a number of jobs during the winter. Both field work and technical projects are proposed in the application, Dave Grummett, re- sources technician with the authority, said last week. How- ever, the application must go through the county and since this is basically an agricultural area with not too much unemploy- ment, he expects the county grant from the federal govern- ment will not be large. One project the authority pro- poses is an "old time type" of maple syrup demonstration, which it wants to undertake on an experimental basis. Its object would be primarily educational and not commercial, Mr. Grum- mett said. "It is not our intention to buy hundreds of containers and sell the syrup." He said they already have much of the necessary equip- ment, but have nowhere in their present budget for the manpower to put the whole thing together and operate it. Much of the needed building material is available from that salvaged during the de'molition of houses on the Turnberry floodplain. Several sites are being re- viewed as possible locations for the maple syrup project, he said, but no decision has yet been made. The authority owns a num- ber of pieces of land which would be suitable. Other proposals include a water resources technician to undertake ground water mapping from infra red aerial photo- graphs and a planner -designer to help with displays for the plowing match, maple syrup project, his- toric mills and Others. FLOODPLAIN PROGRAM The MVCA is still trying to decide what to do with the pro- perties it has acquired in Lower Town Wingham under the flood- plain acquistion program and next spring intends to start work on a master plan for the entire Turnberry floodplain area, Mr, Grummett said. Wingham already has a unique park system running along one side of the river„ he noted, and there is no intention of duplicating that. The authority will also survey what other services are now offered by public lands in the area. "Down the rgad 25 years, I think we're lookingat a pretty nice wildlife area," he said. Other possibilities for the land in- clude nature and cross-country ski trails. At the present time the author- ity has acquired about 15 acres of land 'there and is restricting its purchases to priority one pro- perties. Turnberry Township, which participates in the pur- chases, has indicated it wants to concentrate just on priority one lands, particularly those with houses on them, he said. The whole area earmarked for possible future acquisition total's about 100 acres of priority one, two and three lands, but priority two and three lands may never be bought, he added. At the moment, the authority has already com- mitted most of its floodplain acquisition funds for next year. The priority classifications are made under the "Hurricane Hazel" criteria established by the provincial government following that storm during the mid-1950s, Mr. Grummett ex- plained. They use the hypotheti- cal situation: If Hurricane Hazel centred on Wingham, how high would the water go? Priority one lands are those which would be under five to 11 feet of water; priority two are three to five feet and priority three are three feet and less. The authority has gotten "a lot of static" over the standards set by this measurement, he added. "Many people feel it is too high a criterion." However. he pointed out. "The criteria are dictated by the province." The authority also hopes to get its erosion control assistance program off the ground. Under the program •,the MVCA would match dollars with a landowner to a maximum of $500 for private erosion control projects. They are hoping for a lot of applica- tions so the program won't be cut from the h'dget this year. he said I'he reforestation program An Ontario Advisory Com- mittee on Small Business will provide a forum for dialogue be- tween government and small] business representatives it was announced. Industry and Tourism Minister Claude Bennett said that the mandate of the 12 -member com- mittee is "to identify the oppor- tunities — and problems — faced by small business in the Pro- vince, and to submit comments and recommendations to the government. The Committee representing various regions and a variety of small business sectors will hold its first meeting on Nov. 1. continues to be very successful. All the applications are already in for 1978 and most for 1979, though hehopes to double the program that year. The authority has been plant- ing an average of 40-45,000 trees each year for the past 5-7 years under this program. Plots a mini- mum of One acre or a maximum of 10 acres in size will be planted, at a cost to the landowner of one cent per tree and $20 per thou- sand for machine planting or $25 per thousand for hand planting. Mr. Bennett stated: "I see this as an exciting challenge which will provide the opportunity to in- fluence the development of government policies that concern or relate to small business enter- prises. It should greatly assist the growth and prosperity of small business." The advisory committee on small business comprises the following members: Oscar A.
