Survey is underway
regarding conservation
If you receive a call in the near
future from someone who wants to
know what you think about conserv-
ing our natural environment, don't be
alarmed. It won't he a vacuum
cleaner salesman trying a new sales
pitch.
Dan Kennaley, a researcher from
the University of Guelph, has been
hired by the Ausable Bayfield Conser-
vation Authority to conduct the
survey and find out how much people
know and how they feel about conser-
vation, and the conservation
authority.
Kennaley used to work for the AB -
CA and is now completing his masters
degree in the University of Guelph's
School fo Rural Planning and
Development. He says the results of
the survey will enable the Conserva-
tion Authority to improve many of its
programs. "The conservation move-
ment in Ontario has always recogniz-
ed the importance of grassroots co-
operation and has further recognized
that this co-operation is largely
dependent on people have a positive
attitude toward conservation. We
want to find out how wide spread and
how strong people's attitudes toward
conservation are, but we also want to
find out what factors contribute
toward those attitudes."
Kennaley will be concentrating on
the flooding, soil erosion and water
quality aspects of the Conservation
Authority's work since these pro-
grams are highest on the ABCA's list
of priorities. The survey will take
three to four weeks to conduct. "We
are contacting a sample of 300 peo-
ple" says Kennaley. "and each
telephone interview will take approx-
imately 20 minutes. The telephone
numbers will be selected randomly
which means that we will be able to
generalize the results to the entire
42,586 people living within the
Authority's jurisdiction".
"If we know what factors con-
tribute to people's attitudes to the
Conservation Authority we can make
recommendations as to how the con-
servation authority can make people
more aware of the need for the wise
use of our natural environment."
Pam MacGregor from Parkhill and
Al Pym from Usborne township will
be assisting Kennaley in conducting
the telephone interviews, coding the
data and entering it into a computer
in preparation for analysis. A report
is expected to be ready by the end of
September.

Bell Aerospace closes
Continued from front page
at Grand Bend in October, 1985 and
since then the staff has dwindled to
the present nine.
They continue to supply spare parts
and maintain key people in the
various company disciplines in the
hope of winning new orders.
Bartlett said he felt the potential for
the air cushion vehicles, which can
carry payloads of up to 30, tons at
speeds of 50 to 60 miles an hour, is still
good, but the firm couldn't wait for
changes in the current market
situation.
The machines cost five to eight
million dollars each.
Attracted to Grand Bend by the
former airport facility in a sparsely
populated, rural area close to Lake
Huron, the loss of the plant will be felt
in the area, Bartlett suggested.
The firm had a payroll of two
million dollars annually and used the

said Bell Aerospace was one of the
largest users of the Hay Township
Municipal Telephone System.
He cited the technological advances
generated at the Grand Bend facility
and said the hovercraft had certain-
ly not been a failure. "There have
been a lot of brains pass through this
organization".
The equipment from the plant will
be dismantled and shipped to
Virginia, which has been the final _
assembly point for the hovercraft.
"We built the tough part", he said
in reference to the work completed in.

PLAYHOUSE DONATES
Huron Country Playhouse is
donating a number of scripts of past
productions to both the Lambton
County and Huron County Library
Systems. Scripts of such plays as
Balderston's Dracula, William Gib -
son's The Miracle Worker, W.W.
Jacob's The Monkey's Paw, Bill
Manhoff's The Owl and the Pussycat,
Lawrence Roman's Under The Yum
Yum Tree and Neil Simon's Califor-
nia Suite, The Star-Spangled Girl and '
Last of the Red Hot Lovers, have been
left in the capable hands of the Huron
County Head Librarian, Bjll Par-
tridge in Goderich to circulate
throughout the library system.
Says Partridge, "Huron County
Library appreciates the co-
operation of the Playhouse with this
ncltv service of scripts from past Ways
produced. This practice will help our
patrons and promotethe activities of
the Playhouse and we thank them."
The Playhouse is actually situated
in Huron County, although it is much
closer to the Lambton County Library
in Grand Bend where Judy Bowman,
Ilead librarian is receiving copies of
such scripts as Thomas Brandon's
Charley's Aunt, Agatha Christie's The
Mousetrap, Herb Gardner's A Thou-
sand Clowns, lfaimsohn, Miller and
Wise's Dames at Sea, George Kelly's
The Show Off, Philip King's Pools
Paradise and Robert Emmet Sher -
wood's The Petrified Forest. Says Ms.
Bowman, "Grand Bend is very for-
tunate in having high calibre theatre
this close, here at Huron Country
Playhouse for its permanent and
summer residents to enjoy.

following the first dissolution of the
legislature after August 31, 1986.
The boundary changes will now
mean the counties of Huron, Bruce,
Grey, Perth and Wellington will each
form one separate riding.
The Huron -Bruce riding of Health
Minister Murray Elston and Huron
Middlesex riding of 'Agriculture and
Food Minister Jack Riddell will no
longer exist. Both cabinet ministers
reside in—Auron County ---Elston in
Wingham and Riddell in Stephen
Township - and, though likely a
remote possibility, both conceivably'
could seek the nomination of the
Liberals in the newly created
constituency.
In addition to the nearby consti-
tuency changes, the new act - as well
as increasing the number of seats by
five to 130 -also makes changes to
most of the' other existing ridings.
However, the extent of the change
does vary.
Only slight changes will occur in 58
of the ridings while 51 have undergone
more significant shifts. Sixteen of the
ridings have remained intact.
The last redistribution took place in
1975 when the number of seats in-
creased from 117 to 125. Usually
distated by population increases
which dictate the need for change,
redistribution rarely - at least in the
past 50 years - occurs more frequent-
ly than about every eight to ten years.
The passage of this bill culminates
three years of legislative review,
public hearings and study by all par -
