Advisory board annual tour Maitland Valley Conservation Authority members of the Con- servation Areas Advisory Board recently completed their annual tour of the watershed. The board's main objective was to tour the conservation areas to view development and discuss future plans. In Brussels, the board viewed a parcel of land recently proposed for purchase and discussed plans for the Brussels Conservation Area park where a general area clean-up has already com- menced. The Harriston-Conservation Area was inspected with empha- sis put on future development and maintenance. A picnic shelter and change room facilities have been. sur- veyed at the Galbraith Conser- vation Area. The board also dis- cussed a reforestation program for 1976 and 1977. The Advisory Board members were gravely concerned that no action has been taken concerning repairs to the Gorire dam, be- cause of the Conservation Au- throities Branch's reluctance to approve the program. However, progress has been made in gener- al landscape maintenance. The tour discussed the development plans at the Pioneer Conser- vation Area in Bluevale and then travelled to the Falls where ma- jor development plans for facility and trout pond expansion were discussed .

Procter ruedon: t• stay hi first The Wingham Midget,ba0. team lost its fit game in six consecu- tive games last Sunday, but two subsequent wins keep Wean in first place. The Midgets were defeated 6-5 by Goderich in the July 6 game, but played a very close and good game. July 8 found them back on home territory and victorious in a game against Seaforth. Wingham was down 2-1 going in for the last bat. With two out, Mike Mont- gomery managed to bat a double, and Kevin Lord followed suit for the tie run. Then Steven Mont- gomery batted a double to give Kevin Good the winning run. The final score was 3-2 'for Wingham. The Wingham Midgets re- turned to Goderich this past Sun- day to get their own back in an 8-0 victory. The success can be at- tributed to the tight playing of the infield, good retrieving in the out- field and some excellent pitching by Bernie Haines. The win puts Wingham into first place.
