LIMITED Chevrolet — Oldsmobile PHONE 235-0660 EXETER The Home of Guardian Maintenance a) In this day and age when more and more persons have more and more leisure time on their hands, our provincial and federal governments are taking steps to provide much needed additional park lands and camping sites. Only Thursday of last week, Ontario Premier William Davis announced that 18 million dollars would be allocated to develop recreational facilities over the next six years at the provincial park at Wasaga Beach. There are now 108 provincial parks in Ontario, employing 1,800 summer time attendants. The parks cover 10,236,909 acres of land. The largest is Polar Bear Park on James Bay consisting of 9,300 square miles. At the other extreme is the five acre St. Williams Park on Lake Erie, south of Delhi. Ontario is now in the process of gathering land for a 3,000 acre park at Methodist Point, near Penetanguishene. When completed it will be the largest provincial park within a 100-mile radius of Metro . Toronto. Talk of establishing a park there began in 1962 but actual negotiations with owners and Tiny Township didn't start until 1965. Another bonus for Ontario park users has been the recent breakthrough in negotiations between Ottawa and Queen's Park on a new national park for Ontario. Ontario has been relatively poor in regard to national parks. But when Pukaskwa Park is opened to the public in 1973 or 1974 it will be the largest national park in Ontario. Pukaskwa national park will comprise 750 square miles of wilderness on the north shore of Lake Superior. In the setting up of national parks, a province supplies the land free and surrenders resources rights. As recently as last March, Federal Minister for Indian Affairs and Northern Development Jean Chretein expressed impatience with Ontario over the increase of • national parks. He said at that time that Ottawa was anxious to open more national parks in the province but Ontario was reluctant to let go of timber and mineral rights. There are only three national parks in Ontario at the present time with all of them being comparatively small. They are at Georgian Bay Islands, St. Lawrence Islands and Point Pelee on Lake Erie. Ontario's parks draw almost as many visitors as the entire national string of parks. National parks drew just over 13 million visitors in 1970 while 12,172,254 were in attendance at Ontario parks. Only British Columbia came close to Ontario in attendance at provincial parks with visitors numbering about eight million. The use of Ontario parks is growing at the rate of more than one million per year. In 1968, attendance was at 9,440,000 while it rose to 10,460,000 in 1969 and an increase of more than a million and a half last year. Jim Keenan, director of the parks and recreation areas branch for the department of lands and forests says Ontario has no mathematical system to keep park space on a basis of so many per capita but does stress that future plans anticipate increasing demands. A good advantage enjoyed by the province in planning wilderness parks is the fact 90 percent of Ontario land is publicly owned. There are 344,092 square miles of land in Ontario with 68,490 square miles of water. In these vast areas, Ontario has more than 80 reserve areas earmarked for park expansion in the future. They encompass 1,300,000 acres. The department's greatest difficulty lies in acquiring land now in private hands. Ontario expects to spend about two million dollars this year in parkland acquisition. Some years it has gone much higher than this figure.

In the fifth, Brian Tuckey scored the third Exeter run on three Zurich errors. The final Exeter run came when Perry Stover singled and scored on a fielding muscue. Paul McKnight went the first three innings on the Exeter mound and gave up the only Zurich run, Dwight Noels finished up, allowing two hits while chalking up three strike- outs.

Crediton midgets win over Zurich A six run rally in the top of the second inning allowed the Crediton midgets to carry on to a 9-6 win over Zurich in Western Ontario Athletic Association play, Tuesday.

Rick Bowers and Larry Gibson shared pitching duties for Crediton while John Mom- mersteeg went the distance for Zurich. splashes oil Nesting rafts for ducks In a recent issue of the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Review we found an interesting article regarding the building of nesting rafts for wild ducks. With the recent problems at the Morrison Dam area with damage to wild duck eggs by animals and the theft by humans this idea could be very successful here. The nesting raft in question has been used for five years on lakes and ponds in the Sudbury area and it is inexpensive and simple to construct. The raft is made of several six-foot cedar logs held together by two-by-fours. The nest box placed near the centre of the raft, is 18 inches square and six inches deep. It is packed with leaf litter and screened with brush. The raft is then covered with cedar boughs to protect the nest from crows and owls. It should be anchored at least a hundred feet from shore by means of a large rock and a length of sturdy, rot-proof rope. At hockey school Jim Veri, one of the goalies with the Exeter Broncos when they won the zone novice hockey championship last spring is getting some top notch coaching this week.
