His opinion was backed up by other members of the C of C, members of the Grand Bend council and other inter- ested parties who watched the machine in operation, Looks like cultivator The machine is built along the lines of a spring -toothed cultivator and is about eight feet wide. The teeth are aps proximately one inch wide and are spaced an inch apart. The teeth on the machine con be set at various depths and it can be used for levelling the sand and keeping the beach smooth and free from stones and debris. The debris can either be dragged along and dumped at intervals, or it can be set on an angle so the debris is shoved into one path. It is pulled by a tractor with a set of half-tracks. The Chamber of Commerce has been conducting a sale on their Booster Buttons in an ef- fort to raise enough money to purchase the machine. Wassmann reported that the ratepayers' association "was definitely interested in helping to buy the machine". How- ever, they don't know how much money they have at the present time, he, said. The C of C president stated, "if the Ratepayers come along with half the cost, or even close, we'll buy it". The council has agreed to furnish the tractor to pull the cleaner. A similar machine has been used successfully at beaches at Burlington and Port Dover by George Knapp, who operates the Amusement Centre at Grand Bend. He reports that under ideal conditions the machine will even pick up drinking straws and small sticks from the beach. "They clean up about 75 per- cent of the debris on the beach", he stated, "and if they are used two or three times a week, keep the beach in top shape". leseleata=leeMeeelaseMAMeetete Message from Mt.
