( Photo, by Joanne Buchanan) Brennan .Mulhern wins contest Twelve -year-old: Brennan Mulhern, son of Jim and iVloiiiai MWhern -of- Goderich; is one of ten. children from across Canada to have been chosen grand winners. in OWL Magazine's Gireat Airplane Building Contest. The winners, . each ac- companied .by a chaperone, were brought from all parts of the country to Toronto last weekend for a weekend of "flying fun" as guests of OWL and the co-sponsors CP Air, the Ontario Science Centre, The Cara Inn and The Organ Grinder Restaurant. On Saturday morning the young designers met in the auditorium of the Ontario Science Centre to demonstrate their winning planes to the public. "Winning a trip to Toronto and taking part in a weekend of special aeronautical activities is an exciting prize for our winners," --say OWL editors, "but it also a great opportunity for them'to swap ideas with each .other. After all, they may be the professional airplane designers of.the future." OWL magazine earlier this year challenged the children to design and build airplanes of paper and any other imaginative materials. A team of judges from OWL and the Ontario Science Centre chose winners from over 450 entries, awarding points for time in the air and aerobatics as well as originality of design and decoration. Brenhan's entry, entitled. `Avian' is described as a decorative work of art. Fish ladder in operation on Nine Mile River Last Sunday the fish lad- der went into operation at Port Albert. Bay Bellinger, Con- servation Officer, reports he has been quite impressed by the number of fish that have been tagged. Ten were tagg- ed Tuesday, seven Wednes- day, nine Thursday and seven Friday. Two of the fish recently tagged had been stocked two years ago and were now abut six inches in length. The fish ladder will be in operation until November. Bellinger reports the weather has been good for fishing. However, he would like to see more water in the river. This writer, in speaking to several fishermen Thursday morning, found they seemed discouraged with the poor fishing in the Nine Mile River. Sunday afternoon Dean Ellissat, age 13, from Kitchener, who was spen- ding the weekend with his parents at their cottage, caught a 14 pound Coho Salmon in Lake Huron just at the mouth of the Nine Mile River. Dean is a student at Grand River Collegiate in Kitchener and no doubt he will have an interesting story to tell his friends how he had to battle with that Coho before he could land it.

And if you never take the time to crack the surface, and find out the facts, you might very well -be denying yourself, and a foster child, a very rewarding experience. Your willingness to care maybe all the qualifica- tion you need to be a foster parent. Financial assistance, guidance and support are available to foster parents. The personal rewards of sharing your love with a child or young person who really needs you are very great. Please contact your local Children's Aid Society or Family and Childress Services, and find out more about foster care. The children need you now, more than ever before. And maybe you need them too.
