(Wassink photo) last week's science fair. Glenn spent about Conservation centre built at Wawanosh A site near Wingham in the Wawanosh Valley and owned by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority will be established as an education centre. For now, part of the old barn has been renovated ' into a classroom. - The classroom is above the barn's foundation and although not yet finished, there is enough work done to. enable the visitor to visualize students chattering over their out-of-doors discoveries. Unfinished cedar panels cover the walls of the classroom. A kitchen area with cup- boards and a sink are off in a corner next to the cloakroom. The kitchen will suffice for cleaning any nature specimens gathered by the students. The Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity is making a committment to provide conservation education to the school stu- dents in its watershed, says MVCA's public relations co-ordinator Marilyn Wightman. About 520,000 to $25,000 • will have been spent by MVCA on the classroom for materials and labor. FUNERAL DIRECTOR ROSS RIBEY Ms. Wightman says that to further that committment beyond the physical class- room, a committee of MVCA staff along with representatives from both the Huron -Perth Separate School Board and the Huron Board of Education will hopefully be set up later this year. The public relations co-ordinator envisions the committee working on relating conserva- tion education to the schools' curriculum. Ms. Wightman hopes that 'a pilot project" will be established in the falkwhich would enable classes to visit the site. MVCA currently has a conservation education teacher who travels, when re- quested, to the schools within the water- shed. One of Deb Perkin's goals is to ,assist teachers in planning lessons to be used at the conservation area. Ms. Wightman says Wawanosh Valley has both a stream and river system within its boundaries. The stream is about 50 yards from the barn and from there, another 200 yards brings the stream into the Maitland River. SHORT SHOTS by Evelyn Kennedy A quickly given promise is less likely to be kept than one given after due consideration. At long last it seems that the Brussels dam is to be repaired. The federal government has announced approval of a 5260,199 grant for that purpose. This makes it possible for Brussels, with the co-operation of Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to go ahead with the proposed project. It would have been a shame to have been forced to abandon it and allow this scenic spot; with recreation possibilities to further deteriorate ' until it became even more of an eye -sore than it now is. The work required will create 24 jobs for 22 weeks. What Influenced the government to approve the grant at this time is not known. Could it he that an election is not far In the offing. No matter what the motive just let us be pleased about it. There have been babies born in a number of unexpected places but in a snowbank during a rainstorm must be a most unusual place for the delivery of an infant. But it happened. At 3:17 a. m. the expectant mother alerted her husband who went to get the babysittetCfor their other children. His car slid into a ditch. Thereafter there was nothing but trouble. He ran home, called neighbours and police for help. Several responded but the vehicles could not climb an icy hill. Husband tried walking his wife up the hill to a waiting car. Baby decided enough was enough and signalled imminent arrival. Husband threw his coat on the snowbank and covered his wife with his sweater. He had attended pre -natal classes and after telling neighbours to call the doctor and ambulance and to bring him a knife. scissors and two clothes pins, he attended to the delivery of his baby daughter. The ambulance picked up mother and baby, got stuck in the snowbank and had to be pushed by husband and friends, before getting them on the way to hospital. What a story that woman will have to tell to her grandchildren in years to come. Robots — those mechanical marvels that, if programmed properly, can in some instances do; many things better than humans. Some have been made to talk. They do not forget, make mistakes, or get tired, that is unless something goes wrong in their electrical "innards". it has been illustrated that they could perform some duties in hospital nursing. Ugh! What a horrible suggestion. What patient would want a lumbering, gruff -voiced, metal -fingered nursing assist- ant ministering to their needs? Where would be the comfort in that? Suffering humans need a nurse with compassion; encourage- ment; tenderness and gentleness. Do not tell me a robot can be programmed for those. Perish the thought of them in a hospital. Nature went on a rampage in some areas of the U.S. last week. Sixteen tornadoes In the Carolinas left devastation In their wake — death of at least 76 people; hundreds injured; thousands homeless; ravaged city and communities; flattened farm crops; destroy- ed buildings. Damage was said to be in millions of dollars. The day followingthe tornadoes the north eastern United tates had a blizzard with hurricane force winds. Thousands of people fled coastal communi- ties to escape neck -deep flood waters. What is happening in the world? There has been all kinds of disasters of nature — earthquakes. volcanic eruptions. tornadoes, floods, twist- rs to say nothing of world unrest and threat of war. is someone, somewhere, trying to get the message to us that things are not as they should be in our world and we should mend our ways? .DO YOU HAVE BOOKLETS ON DEATH AND FUNERAL SERVICE?
