were subjects which gener-
ated a great deal of dis-
cussion at .the fifth seeon-
dary plan seminar Monday
evening at the East
Wawanosh Public School.
The topic of discussion for
the workshop was natural
environment. Clerk -
treasurer Winona Thompson
acted as chairman.,
Gary Davidson, Cindy
Fisher and Malciolm McIn-
tosh of the county planning
department were on hand, as
4•were Bryan Howard of the
Maitland Valley Conser-
vation Authority and Warren
Knight of the Ministry of
Natural Resources.
Mrs. Thompson posed
several questions to the
gathering of approximately
80 people. The first question
was: What value do you
plat on the natural beauty
of the township? Should cer-
tain areas be preservedfor
conservation of the natural
environment?
Alice Beecroft asked how
the township enforces the
tree -cutting bylaw. She
stated that the bylaw has
been passed, but trees are
still being cut.
Mrs. Thompson answered
that tree -cutting is con-
trolled by the county. -Mr.
Knight said that an exemp-
tion or special permission
can be granted to cut certain
areas. It depends . upon the
size of the area and the kind
of trees growing there, for
instance willows or poplars
as opposed to hardwood
trees.
Miss Beecroft said she
knows of two locations in the
township where the trees cut
had not been willows or pop-
lars -and no steps have been
taken to replant these areas.
Yvonne Coultes asked if
there was a penalty imposed
upon those who disregard the
tree:cuttinir bylaw: e
Mr. Knight answered that
the penalty is a maximum
fine of $5,000 or a three . .
month imprisonment. Mr.
Davidson reiterated that
under the old bylaw very
small fines were levied to
offenders. The new bylaw is
much more insistent the
trees be replanted.
Mr. Howard added that the
tree -cutting bylaw stemmed
from a provincial. act. It has
been. left up to the counties
how to enforce it: some en-
force it rigidly while others
ignore it totally.
Mr. Davidson said that if
properly managed wood lots
should show a high yield of
lumber and maple syrup.
Mr. Knight estimated an
annual net of $40 per acre on
existing wood lots which is
comparable with barley. He
said that the decision to clear
a wood lot should, be weighed
carefully.
John Gaunt stated that a
freeze on clearing wood lots
should be imposed now.
EROSION CONTROL
The second question
asked: What value do .you
place on erosion control?
Should the remaining wood
lots in the township be pre-
servedto prevent wind and
water erosion of farm land?
Clint Wilson stated that
there is no erosion problem
in East Wawanosh to worry
about. Wayne Caldwell dis-
agreed, he had worked on the
Avon River near Stratford
where there is considerable
erosion. He found that area
to be very similar to East
Wawanosh.
Roy Pattison confirmed
that there was some water
erosion occurring on his own
farm. After a hard rain
gullies form in the fields,
which must be filled in.
Ralph Campbell asked if
clearing fence -bottoms con-
tributed to erosion and if so
should it be halted?
Mr. Davidson answered
that fence -bottoms have a
certain erosion control value
and without them soils are
very susceptible to wind ero-
sion.
After a brief intermission
the third question was
posed: Should drainage 'of
existing wetland areas which
are not presently used for
agriculture be permitted?
Mr. Pattison stated that
there are still some wetlands
in the township that need
draining and some areas
whi'c1fE' 'ha$m been drained
that should not have been.
Mr. Knight said that tile
drains are much better than
open drains for controlling
erosion. Mr. Howard said
that if a drain is designed
properly and maintained it
should last many years with-
out being cleaned. The popu-
lar drainage ditch with its
steep sides was pointed to as
a major cause of erosion.
Dick Moore asked if rep-
resentatives from the con-
servation authority and the.
Ministry of ligature! Re-
sources would be attending
the special council meeting
on Wednesday to discuss the
Thacker ditch proposal. Mr.
Knight and Mr. Howard
replied yes.
The fourth question posed
was: What would you con-
sider to be the major natural
environment areas in East
Wawanosh and what value
do you place on the pre-
servation of these areas?
Mr. Campbell stated that
the Maitland River is the
major natural environment
area in the township, but
there should be more , trees
planted along the river.
Mr. Davidson said the dan-
ger with clearing land right
to the river's edge is that
pollutants from fertilizer and
soil nutrients are lost into the
river. This causes the tem-
perature of the river to rise
and sport fish cannot survive
in temperatures above 70 de-
grees F.
Everyone was in agree-
ment that the natural.en-
vironment areas must be
preserved and enhanced.
Mr. Gaunt said large num-
bers of people must be kept
away from. natural environ-
ment areas because they
threaten the delicate balance
of life. Mr. Davidson said
that for many years it was
assumed that natural en-
vironment and recreation
.nixed, but, now it is believed
if the natural areas are to be
preserved people must be

kept away.
Mr. Howard commented
that it is.no longer viable for
government to buy up large
tracts Of land to be design-
ated as conservation areas.
He said that conservation
must be started on private
land in .cooperation with pri-
vate landowners.
• Mr. Gaunt stated there is
no greater conservationalist
than the private landowner.
The next secondary land
use plan seminar is to be
held on April 6 at 8 p.m. at
the East, Wawanosh Public
School. The topic to be dis-
cussed is extractive re-
sources, with references to
the recent Pits and Quarries
Act. Councillor Donald
"Schultz will act as chairman.

Our memories are great and
our love has grown ever

We miss the smile that
brightened even our dark-

And we miss the way, she

little happier,
She may have been taken
away, but we'll always
keep her love and mem-

SHIELle—In loving memory
of -a dear mother and grand-

passed away five years ago,
April 6, 1976.
Five sad and lonely years
have passed
Since our great sorrow fell;
The shock that we received
that day
No one can ever tell.
God gave us strength to meet
it,
And courage to bear the
blow,
But what it meant to lose
you.
No one will ever know.
It's lonely here without you,
We miss you more each day,
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away
No farewell was spoken,
And no time to say goodbye;
You were gone before we
knew it,
And only God knows why.
it broke our hearts to lose
you.
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
That day God called you
home.
—Sadly missed and ever
loved by, daughters Anne and
Gladys, son-in-law Allan and
grandchildren; Jeff, Gary
and Heidi.
