ROCKY RACCOON
BY MAITLAND VALLEY
CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
Maitland Valley's "Rocky
Raccoon" has some tips on how
to keep your woodlot healthy so
that you may gain some of the
benefits described in an earlier
article.
Some of the most common
and harmful factors influencing
your woodlot are cattle, disease
and insects, rodents and fire.
Farmers may use the woodlot
for an additional grazing area,
unaware that by allowing cattle
to walk over the forest floor the
combined problems of trampled
roots, destroyed seedlings,
broken saplings and compacted
ne- soil - soon take-their 'toll.
Cattle also 'drainage trees by
exposing„a the,4 inner,-.1 parts,
through tearing off bark, which
allows insects and disease an
. easy entry into the trees. While
some insects and diseases affect
the leaves, or food converters of
the tree, others attack inside
and cause irreparable damage.
A common example of this is
the dutch elm disease.
Rodents, such as mice and
rabbits also destrcy a large
number of trees. By removing
bark, these pests also help to
spread an infection of disease
or insects.
The fastest and usually most
dangerous enemy of the
woodlot is fire. Unnoticed
Dave Stark of Zurich, right, was all smiles this week when he was presented with a $500
cheque from Kinsman Dave Dorrie for winning the Kinsmen Draw last Friday night. Dave
doesn't look too happy at giving the money away, though. (News-Record photo)

"Happiest Days"
proves to be
happy play
Central Huron Secondary
School drama club's first
production of the 1974-75
season, "The Happiest Days of
Your Life" was well received
by appreciative audiences
spread over three nights last
week, The three act play deals
with the problems faced when a
boys' boarding school in
England, under the exigencies
Of war, found itself ordered to
share its daily life with that of
St. Swithins, a school for girls,
who had suddenly been billeted
at Hilary Hall.
The cast handled the British
humour of the script quite well
although the audience at times
were slow to warm to the in-
nuendoes of certain lines. Top
acting honours, without doubt,
went to Dave Thomson in his
role as Rupert Billings, the
senior master. Credit must go
to the director, Linda McKen-
zie, producer George Cull and
stage manager Ron Smith.
The individual members of
.the drama club worked very
hard - and it is hoped there will
be another production in the of-
fing before too long. Rocky

ground fires can burn out
seedlings and saplings and set
back natural successiwn by
years. Destruction of leaves on
the forest floor not only expos
es soil to leaching and erosion,
but also removes organic food
which plants need for growth.
It only takes seconds for a fire
to destroy what may have
taken decades to grow in your
wood lot.
Rocky suggests that to solve
some of these problems you can
fence around woodlots to keep
cattle out, remove infected

Down to the southern States
for three days this week were
Mr, and Mrs. Milford Durst of
Mary Street. They hosted a
Party of nine on the Ralston
Purina Dairy Research Farm
trip to Little Rock, Arkansas
and Gray Summit, Missouri.
On Monday morning them
was a tour of the famed
Arkavalley Purina's 802 acre
management research dairy
farm at Little Rock. During the
farm tour, there was a
discussion of problems encoun-
tered and solutions in running
a dairy farm.
Monday evening saw the
group in St. Louis for a supper
and floor show at the. Ramada
Inn. Tuesday morning there
was breakfast at Purina's other
research farm at Gray Summit,
Missouri, followed by a tour of
the units where Purina's basic
research on nutrition is carried
out, Tuesday afternoon the
group flew back to London.
Those travelling with their
hosts were Murray Cole, Alec
Ostrom, Wayne Pickard, Joest
Vienstra, Larry Lovett, Glen
McGregor, Doug Farquhar and
Mr. and Mrs. William Treble,

Death notices which we write
up for the paper do bring
sobering thoughts, especially in
the close knit atmosphere of a
small town. Our staff was par-
ticularly saddened this week
with the passing of Mrs. Grace
Middleton. As our Middleton
correspondent, her writing
always reflected her wit and
wisdom. Her interests were
wide - with perhaps one of her
' outstanding endeavours being
the annual outdoor service of
St. James Anglican Church,
Middleton, held each summer
at her home picnic area. It is
with a deep sense of sadness
that we must write the repor-
ter's "30" after Grace's final
column.
