A-B Authority
receives
grant
The Honourable Leo Bernier,
minister of natural resources,
recently announced the ap-
proval of a provincial grant of
$5,615 to. the Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority for
capital improvements to be un-
dertaken in a number of small
conservation areas under the
Authority's jurisdiction.
The conservation areas in-
cluded in this program are:
Thedford, Port Frank,
Morrison Dam, Lucan, Stephen
Wildlife Area and the Ban-
nockburn Wildlife
Management Area.
All member municipalities
will bear the Authority's share
of the cost.
Additional grants for the
Authority's larger conservation
areas will be announced at a
later date.
As the cost or commercial
fruit production increases,
today's homeowners are star-
ting to realize that they can use
their gardens for economical as
well as esthetic purposes,
John Hughes, a her,
ticulturalist with Ontario
ministry of agriculture and
food, suggests that gardeners
visit a local roads* market or
garden center operation for
good-looking plants that also
hear fruit, Strawberries can be
naturalized in a reek garden or
terrace; raspberry hushes and
currants .con be used .effectively
to .screen compost piles or gar,
bap cans, A few blueberry
bushes or a row or grapes
would make an excellent ad-
dition to your vegetable wirdeo.
Dwarf apple trees and peaches
can be used. as specimen trees
in your lawn and flower beds.
In most cases it will take a
year or two for the plants to
fruit, but while you're waiting
you can enjoy them as attrac-
tive additions to your land-
scape,
Dr. Alec McCarter, Director
of Research Laboratory at the
University of Western Ontario,
spoke to members of Huron
Unit of the Canadian Cancer
Society in Exeter last week on
some aspects of scientific
research being carried out in
the cancer field. He prefaced
his remarks by underscoring
the importance ,of the Society's
yearly campaign for funds, the
greater part of which goes to
research.
He explained the process by
which grants are obtained by
individuals working in that
area, He also explained the
kind of research being done,
such as examining sources of
contamination and cancer
producing agents. He stated
"viruses can produce cancer in
animals - a proven fact, and we
are pretty sure they can also
cause cancer in man, but we are
still looking for the proof. It is
a fact that cigarette smoking is
directly related to the
prevalence of lung cancer, yet
in England, for instance, 3.6
billion dollars a year is still
being speri'4.'' o ciaretfe s- •
t7nAvele .:;71;r tie' Ggreif
some plant alkaloids such asYri
periwinkle in the treatment of
some types such as leukemia,
but again much research is
needed, and he concluded with
the assertion that "the work
you members are all doing in
April is the most important
anyone can do."
Introduced by Harvey John-
ston, of Clinton, Dr. McCarter
received warm words of ap-
preciation by Chester Ar-
chibald of Clinton,
During the business session
conducted by president Gordon
Richardson of Clinton, Norman
Whiting of Exeter reported
$10,554 raised to date in the
campaign. Reports by the
branch service to patients
chairmen showed a marked in-
crease in the number of
requests for assistance and type
of services provided to patients
throughout the county.
