The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-03-02, Page 15with Bill Dodds EDITOR'S NOTJ; This column, written by Bill Dodds, purposes to in- form .the public about what the Government of Ontario is doing re- gardling ;pall.ution problems. Readers having questions, comments or suggestions are invited to send them .along to the following address: Robert J. Keir, manager, Information Services, 880 Bay Si, TORONTO 5, Ontario. Daisies do tell, • . Sometimes plant life provides the evidence in uncovering air pollution. • But' it takes an experienced de- tective squad to follow the clues. A complaint came in to the De- partment of the Environment's Air Management Branch that . trees,- shrubs andhedges in an Ontario community showed leaf i damage. --always on their south- west sides. There,. were two suspects, an aluminum chloride manufactur- er about a mile to the west and a nickel refinery about a mile southwest. But there was little sign of injury to any leaves be- tween the damage area and • either of the two industries. The Department's Phytotoxi- cology Section—the plant squad—was sent put to get the ;:mute testimony -of soil and vege- tation analysis. Sulphur and fluoride contents were normal, --- SHOW TIMES Friday and Saturday a at 7:16 and 9:15. All other days, one show at 8:80, except where noted on the program. .SUR.-FRI.•SAT.

MAR. 4 chloride, aluminum and copper levels were upslightly, but nickel showed up in soil and plants in poisonous quantities. The nickel refinery was the only industry with.ths emission, the direction—southwest.-was consistent, and the evidence was complete. In another case, the plant squad checked a damaged property surrounded by seven in- dustries, and with wind * data, chemical analysis and knowledge of plant symptoms traced the damage to sulphur dioxide from a sulphite pulp and paper mill. There are times, quite often, when the evidence clears an in- dustry unjustly accused. In Scarborough, a. stand of Lombardy poplars was dying and suspicious eyes were being cast on a neighboring manufacturer of liquefied gases. But the investigation showed almost immediately that the trees were not poisoned, but died a natural death—from the dis- ease Dothichiza canker. Where a specific polluter can lie blamed, the complaint and the evidence provide grounds for ac- tion by the Air. Management Branch. When neglect or disease caused the _damage, the complainant is given advice or referred to an agency that can help. And the Phytotoxicology Sec-' tion moves on to other clues, other cases.

Seriously, - though, Mathieu IS 'something else' in to- day's world of recording artists and singing stars. In comparison to American stars, she is there with the best, easily on a par with greats like Streisand. . Mathieu does. not just sing a song; §he lives it, Words and music come from her mouth, but also from her heart and soul. I first heard Mathieu sing more - than five years ago when she was still in her teens; 'I had never heard anything like it. And she still defies conpparisons, though many still tend to compare her to the late Edith Piaf who was Paris' original little waif and be- came a star. Perhaps timing had something to do with - the com- parison; just when Parisiennes and the world were getting over the 'loss of Pililf, along came Mat- hieu with the same innocence, the same dark -eyed beauty, the way - with -a -song that could move you so quickly to tears. It was inevit- able that she be thrown' into the, former star's empty slippers and vacant spotlight. Mireille Mathieu was born 25 years ago in Avignon in Southern France; she is the oldest of 13 children and life has not been easy for her. Though she sang most of her life, her fame did not come until 1965 in Paris. Since then she has made several guest appearances in North America; her Canadian debut came in 1966 in Montreal and it was in Mont- real* that last week's CBC -TV special was produced. In it, she sang in five languages, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish; needless to say, the petite star is no 'dumb bunny!. Producer of the program was Maurice Dubois of the CBC in Montreal. Miss .Mathieu now makes her home in Paris; like Piaf she will not likely ever stray very , far from her b> loved:native land and the city that makes all hearts sing. , 0-4-0 Though he was not an enter. tallier as we often definlye the word, the death. of Walter Will chell in New York was of interest to anyone and everyone' iib . the world of .show] busi.

Monday and Tuesday on Twi- lite Theatre (6:30) you will see "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", a touching drama about a deaf mute (Alan Arkin) who tries to cope with life in a big city; some fine ' dramatic performances in this picture, made in 1968.
