SHO DRAW 30 GRAND PRIZES* THESE YOUNGSTERS, had a great time last Wed- nesday morning ,at the Wingham Nursery School, as they all got a chance to dress up for Hallowe'en, play games and receive treats. Patience is the key in raising funds, speaker tells foundation Patience, a positive at- titude, good communication with all sectors of the coln- munity and an active educa- tion program are the major components necessary to achieve a successfull in- formation program. This was the theme of an informal talk given by Char- les Sauriol at a meeting of the Maitland Conservation Foundation, and members of the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority execu- tive and staff, held Oct. 28 in Goderich. The talk was just one stop on a two,day-visit he and his assistant, Anna Martin, made to the area last week. Mr. Sauriol is project director of the Nature Con- servancy of. Canada, a non- profit, fund-raising organization, working to insure the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage. His work in the conservation field extends back over a period , of 40 years; `a period in which, he says, there has been a reversal in attitudes and philosophies toward con- servation; from skepticism and antagonism to con- fidence and collaboration. He is no stranger to the local area and the work being done in the conserva- tion field, having assisted in 50 - **No subsidiary prizes. 6—$100,000 24-$25,000 Based on 6 million tickets issued.

MrYOUR NOW $1.00 1 e fund-raising projects con- tributing $52,000 for the pur- chase of several parcels of land now under the manage- ment of the Maitland Valley e. Conservation Authority. As a relatively new organization; Mr. Sauriol re- minded Foundation mein- bers that progess is often slow and that they should not be discouraged in their ef- forts. "The seed will come back," he said. "Everyone is a client whether their donation be five dollars or $5,000. Each donation is equally import -'e ant in achieving our goal." Mr. Sauriol reinforced this point by commenting that good things often start small and that patience is the best ally. In establishing priorities for the upcoming year, Mr. Sauriol suggested that the members:;µ• , dertake a ,pro- gram-. at •fnforiiiaing • watershed residents about the. 440Mdation. This, • he - said; should beetumber one' on?their"ust. ...t1►" mutual='feeling. of trust and confidence mutt be built up, he continued, and this can only be done through a concerted effort of co -opera - ion. In closing, the speaker said that while much remains to do in the Mait- land Valley area, a good . beginning has been made by the Foundation, and he extended an open invitation to any who may wish to dis- cuss specific problems or questions. In a discussion period which followed, Jack Graul, chairman of the Maitland Conservation Foundation, pointed to an often held mis- conception about Authorities and Foundations: that they are government agencies and that the land theypur- chase is taken out of the hands of the public. In fact, the reverse is true, he said. These organizations are not government agencies, he said, but rather organiza- tions formed as a result of the initiative of local citi- zens, and the land purchased through their efforts is not being taken away from the ssdYe residents, but rather being put back or preserved and -or developed according to the public's wishes and in harmony with the natural and cultural resources of the area. Mr. Graul pointed out that while it is true that the Mait- land Valley Conservation Authority, as all other Authorities, receive some funding hi the form of grants, from the Province, the amount of this grant is based on the amount of funds raised through the Founda- tion. pie benefits of ,any 4gnations which the Founda- tion receives work tothe advantage ofall residents in the Maitland Watershed as they replace monies which would normally be raised through the general levy on member municipalities, he said. Mr. Graul said that although the Conservation Authority's outdoor educa- tion programs are, in part, aimed at correcting the fallacy, there must be a more concerted effort to reach all ages as well as local organizations and busi- nesses. "Conservation is every- one's responsibilty . and everyone can help". In the Foundation's busi- ness meeting which follow- ed, discussion centered around their present object- ive:' raising funds of $24,000 to retire the debt on the pur- chase of the Lake Wawanosh property, and a 200 -acre parcel of land comprising a mature hardwood bush, wet- land forest and a 60 -acre manmade lake ` in West Wawanosh Township: Achievement 9'` 1 m ends successful 4-H pre ject• The 4-H Homemaking Club School; Belgrave, Saturday, achievement programs for Nov.. 29, 9:15 a.m. at East 'Food for Friends' Wawanosh Public School; represents the end of another Clinton, Wednesday, Dec. 3, successful 4-H project in 7 p.m. at Huron Centennial Publi Huron County.
