Bruce man heads
conservation group
A Bruce County man has
been elected chairman of the
Association of Conservation
Authorities (ACRD) during a
meeting held recently in
Oshawa.
John Bruce, an Elderslie
Township farmer and chair-
man of the Saugeen Valley
Conservation Authority, was
elected for a two-year term as
head of the Association which
represents the collective con-
cerns of the province's 39 Con-
servation Authorities. A
member of the Saugeen
Authority since 1969, Bryce
fills the position previously
held by Upper Thames River
Conservation Authority
Chairman John Stephen of
Blanshard Township, Perth
County, who did not seek
reelection.
In accepting the position,
Bryce said that Conservation
Authorities will be facing
critical times during the next
few years as they attempt to
meet natural resources
management demands while

faced with provincial and
municipal government fun-
ding constraints. "Individual
Authority roles will have to be
negotiated with other govern-
ment agencies in order to pro-
vide an efficient delivery ser-
vice to the general public",
Bryce said: In order to
establish a common basis for
such negotiation, Bryce
stated that the ACAO must be
prepared to continue to work
closely with the Ontario
government and organiza-
tions like the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario.
Bryce made specific
reference to the resumption of
ACAO discussions with the
Ministry of the Environment
concerning the Environmen-
tal Assessment Act and the
need for further research in-
to agricultural land drainage
and soil erosion in coopera-
tion with the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
Also at the meeting Dennis
Reed, Chairman, Cataraqui
Region Conservation Authori-
ty, was elected Vice -
Chairman of ACAO. Reed has
had a long involvement in the
field of conservation, both on
a personal and a professional
basis. His first involvement
with the Cataraqui Authority
was in 1967 when he was in-
vited to serve as an ad hoc
member of the Authority's
Conservation Education Ad-
visory Board due to his
special interest in outdoor
education and his position as
a Learning Program Consul-
tant for the Frontenac Coun-
ty Board of Education.

A FOREST OF TREES -- Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority conservation ser-
vices coordinator John Schwindt checks some of the evergreens ordered by private
landowners for use as windbreaks.
"The generosity of
farmers, even during this
time of economic hardship,
attests to the broader world
view that you people (most
farmers) have."
So said Roy Schlegel, On-
tario director of the Men-
nonite Central Committee, at
the second annual sale of
heifers donated by dairy
farmers for world relief.
More than $140,000 was rais-
ed at the sale.
"It's kind of fantastic, the
way people responded," said
Roy Snyder of Waterloo, one
of the organizers.
Broad smiles greeted most
visitors and buyers at the sale
which was held at the
Brubacher Sale Arena near
Guelph March 30. An air of
fun and camaraderie
permeates the place during
these sales.: Everyone from
donors to buyers are aware of
the good work that will be
done with the money raised.
The arena is donated as is the
auctioneering. The heifers
are donated and even some of
the drovers donate their
trucks and services.
The spirit of giving is con-
tagious. A number of buyers
re -donated animals. In fact,
at least one was re -donated
three times! -
No one can deny the
depressed times in the farm-
ing industry and a surplus of
milk and dairy cattle right
across North Amerioa; yet,
the bidding was brisk because
everyone present knew the
money raised was going to a
good cause.
The idea for the sale was
the brainchild of the late
Ward Shantz of Waterloo
Region. The famous May sale
of arts, crafts, quilts and bak-
ing at the New Hamburg
Arena sparked the plan.
Shantz correctly figured that
the men needed an opportuni-
ty to match the efforts of their
wives who have always been.
the most active in preparing
for the New Hamburg sale.
But hold on, friends, the end
is not in sight.
Beef farmers --probably
hardest hit in this recession --
are not going to let their
counterparts in dairying get
the upper hand. They are now
preparing for yet another sale
being organized by the Men-
nonite Relief Sale Inc.
Farmers are now donating
animals for a sale that will be
held in mid-October at the
Kitchener- Waterloo
Stockyards, north of
Waterloo.
And not just farmrTs will be
invited. The general public
can participate in this sale.

Early spring is
second best time
When is the best time to
plant a tree? According to one
landscape gardener, the
answer to that question is
"Thirty years ago." The
Ausable-Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority will settle for
second-best. Early spring.
The seedlings and larger
trees ordered by the Authori-
ty for themselves and private
landowners are now being
delivered.
John Schwindt, in charge of
the tree -planting program,
said Authority employees will
plant 175,000 seedling trees
this spring, 125,000 on private
land and 50,000 on conserva-
tion areas. Fifty thousand
more are being distributed to
individual customers.
The little pine and poplars,
still called penny stock, now
cost a landowner 2.5 cents
each. They will be used for
field and plantation planting
and windbreaks.
The Ausable-Bayfield Con-
servation Authority will
distribute 8,000 larger
evergreens, each about three
to five feet high with roots
neatly wrapped in burlap, to
125 landowners. Deciduous
.trees can also be ordered.
