Wingham Golf Club has set up a series of lessons for young golfersas an in- troduction to the Winner's Mark Program. This program, established first by the U.S. National Golf Foundation, has been adopted by the Canadian Professional Golfers' Association. It consists of a . series of tests in golfing skills, such as putting, chipping, pitching, fairway irons, - driver and sand shots. There are three ability levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. When a golfer feels that he or she has sufficient skillin one of these, areas he may try a test. If successful, he can put a mark on the ap- propriate spot on a plaque, ordered through the CPGA. The program has several objectives: to keep junior • golfers interested and ehal tinged; to? create in- terest in practicing; as a device to rate junior golfers; to provide an objective evaluation of a golfer's skills. If you know a junior golfer who might be interested in the program, contact the golf club for further information.

The. cattails ' were the reason :for the excitement. They warCheing planted in an artifioje marsh, an ex- perimental ;project being monitored at the.lagoon site by the' Ministry of the Environment. The artificial marsh, covering about 2.5 acres of land, was officially opened at 10 a.m. Friday when Ontario Environment Minister Harry Parrott, Listowel Mayor Vincent Judge and other members of Listowel Town Council hopped into a control cell. to plant it full of cattails. The cell was then flooded. The opening ceremonies, PeeWees win Red Henry tournament The Wingham PeeWee baseball team won the Red Henry Tournament, hosted this year by the Hanover Minor Ball Association, downing Walkerton in the rural game b'y 'a.1940 score. Eight, teams competed in the. tournament July 12-13, with Wingham meeting Kincardine in their first game. Kincardine scored two runs at the top of the fifth inning, however Wingham rebounded to score four and the final score was 4-3 for Wingham. Paul Good . pitched five innings; with;Mltd ell Braun pitching in OR a . fib. Wingham Dashwood' in the' second :game of the day,_ defeating that team by a score of 64. Braun was the winning pitcher, with Quinn O'Donohue behind the plate. The local lads went on to meet Walkerton for the championship Sunday; defeating them' by a 19-10 score. Both teams played a very competitive game, with excitement in the last inning. Braun . pitched an excellent game with Goodall catching, and McFarlan hit two home runs. Cameron came through with an excellent throw and fielding as both 'Melt! and outfield played their. best ball of the season. The team record this year is 16 wins against one loss. Bantams extend winning record Clinton travelled to Wingham July 7 and suffered a 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Wingham Bantams. This game was typical of the last few for the local boys, as they dominated the game except for one inning in which they seemed to let up. In this game they allowed Clinton to score four runs in the fourth inning, but otherwise controlled the game: Steve Gaunt was the big hitter for Wingham, with a double and two singles at the plate. Rob Strong, Kevin Saxton and the Schistad brothers all batted .500 to help the Wingham attack. Ron Schistad went 51/2 innings on the mound for Wingham and Jonas Kaciulis finished the game with a combined total of 11 strike- outs and nine walks. WiNGHAM OVER EXETER trauht hit a double and four singles and+Strong belted a home run, a triple, a double and another triple with the bases loaded to lead Wingham to a 12-7 win over Exeter at Exeter last Saturday. Saxton also hit well, with two singii s and a long t:1ple. Michael Pletch and Mark Foxton hit .500 ball to aid in the attack. Ron Schistad went the distance on the mound for Wingham with 13 strikeouts and eight walks. Again Wingham had a let- down in one inning; in this -case the team gave up four runs in the second inning. Also in Exeter's half of the seventh and last inning that team loaded the bases and was threatening with its fifth batter up before Rob Schistad grabbed a hot line drive to first and then stepped on the bag to get . a double play and end the game. This runs Wingham's record to to wins against only one loss.

The experimental marsh at Listowel will be fed sewage effluent from the community's lagoons on a carefully controlled basis, with some of the plants receiving partially treated effluent and others getting raw sewage. Dr. Wile explained cattails have a "great need" ffor nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus found in the effluent. The plants use the nutrients in much the same way lawns' use nutrients from manure and other fertilizers. With the cattails removing much of the nutrients' from the effluent, water courses such as the Maitland River in the Listowel area will be kept free from an excessive Recreation BY RENNIE ALEXANDER Rec.

Davy the Ifeavy, metals are another pollutant foutkd 'in sewage effluent. Dr. Wile said';the Mianistry has a natural marsh - in Bradford, but, it doesn't have the facilities for monitoring that the artificial marsh. at Listowel will have. In the past week, student workers and Environment Ontario staff have planted about. 10;009 cattails in the artificial marsh,. Two 10 -ton......_ trucks delivered some of the hardy aquatic plants from the Bradford marsh. Others where dug from nearby ditches and marshes and transplanted in the artificial marsh. • According to Environment Minister Harry Parrott, "This artificial marsh is a new approach which' could be used in other parts of Ontario to treat sewage effluent without building expesive treatment plantsn." If the marsh works as expected, it will mean the end of a problem for Listowel and its 5,000 people: Present sewage facilities are overloaded and other forms of sewage treatment are considered too expensive for the community to install. Futher commercial or residential development withoutnew facilities ivill threaten the shallow Maitland River which receives the town's sewage Report Funfest time is here once again, July 16-19.
