But it seems rather a complex thing to steal. They tell me Christmas is 'Love, but, I thought Love was a warm puppy, so I'm really confused. But Orson, while everything I've told you about Christmas so far is confusing there's still one more facet about the day I can't quite figure out.

Some people just don't seem to cast more than a fleeting thought his way." "Well Mork, this Christmas you've wit- nessed it is truly a strange phenomenon. And just as we are confused about what this celebration is all about •I have to wonder if the earthlings who celebrate it, know any better- than etterthan we do just what it's all about."

(Continued from' page A31 southernmost tributary of the Maitland River which flows into Lake Huron at Goderich. Approximately 800 ha were low-lying lands which flooded naturally every spring. Diversity of wildlife species reaches its peak in the spring and fall when many species of migratory birds complement the indige- nous wildlife populations. Ducks and geese are especially attracted for nesting and feeding from nearby migratory flyways along the Lake Huron shoreline. It is this annual waterfowl phenomenon which initiated the hypothesis that if the area could be permanently flooded, it would constitute a major waterfowl habitat location within Southwestern Ontario. After detailed study by Ducks Unlimited Canada, the concept of extensive dyking structures parallel to the South Maitland River was determined to be the best approach for achieving the full management potential of the marsh habitat. The result has been the creation of seven major impoundments, totalling 750 ha. But while Hullett continues to do well, sustaining 5,000 waterfowl, and another 10 to 15,000 during migration, there are other wetlands in the area the ministry would like to investigate, Mr. Creighton said there are at least 900 wetlands, 300 of which are top priority, beyond the immediate area of Hullett the Ministry would like to preserve. "Right now we just don't have the manpower to do it, But we'd like to be able to get out there and make'people aware of what they have on their property," he said. "So if some money were to come our way it would certainly help." Roughly three-quarters of the nearly $1 billion , expenditure to finance Canadian projects for the 15 -year plan will come from U.S. private and government funding. The U.S. will spend an additional $475 million to finance U.S. projects under the plan. At present waterfowl are the most prominent and economically important group of migratory birds in North America. Supported by an abundance and diversity of wetland ecosystems on the North American continent, this resource is of direct benefit to substantial numbers of both Canadian and American interest groups. In Canada such activities undertaken by recreationists, na- turalists, subsistence and sports hunters generate direct and indirect expenditures in excess of rine hillinn dnllarc annually and SPECIAL HOURS FOR Christina For your shopping convenience the following Seaforth merchants will be OPEN TILL 9 P.M. \� AY TO FRIDAY, DEC. 16 TO 20 and MONDAY, DECEMBER 23 ANNA'S DRESS SIIOPPE 16 Main Street, 527-0489 ANSTETT JEWELLERS LTD. 26 Main Street, 527-1720 CANADIAN TIRE DALE DERBYSHIRE Merchandising 126 Main Street BOX FURNITURE 20 Main Street, 527-0680 SHOP IN SEAFORTH j •, Service Selection Savings KIKI'S 11 Main Street, Seaforth B TEEJ DEPARTMENT STORE 43 Main Street, Seaforth provide over 40,000 jobs. 1n the past there was success in restoring the Wood Duck populations from previously low numbers to those of abundance today.
