Sweep cleans up province
That tired old saying, "a new
broom sweeps clean." has cert-
ainly. proven true in Ontario
over the past three years.
Since 1971 more than 5, 400
secondary school students have
helped to clean up their prov-
ince each summer under the
auspices of Project SWEEP,
short for Students Working in an
Environment Enhancement
Program. This year over 1, 400
youths are working on projects
from mid-June to early Sept-
ember.
Commenting on the program
the Hon. Leo Bernier, Minister
of Natural Resources, remarked,
"The fact that so many of our
young people, both girls and,
boys, have been involved in
SWEEP since its inception three
years ago shows an enthusiastic
interest in improving the envir-
onment which I hope will cont-
inue to grow with each succeed -
TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
A quiet, diffident boy, Marty, almost eight, needs love and re-
assurance. Unhappy experiences, before he came into the care
of the Children's Aid Society have left him without confidence in
himself. He should blossom in the warm, encouraging at-
mosphere of a family which he knows is his very own.
Marty is Anglo-Saxon in descent,good-looking and slightly
built with lovely brown eyes. blonde wavy hair, fair skin and a
dimple in his chin. He is in good health. A slight speech defect is
gradually improving without therapy. He is not difficult to
understand.
Going into Grade two, Marty is at Least average in ability. He
tries hard to do his best in whatever he attempts. Pleasant,
polite, well behaved, Marty is talkative when with people he
knows. He enjoys attention but does not seek it.
Like most small boys, Marty plays a lot with cars and trucks.
He takes them apart and since he has a good deal of manual
dexterity and understands how many things work, he also puts
them together again. Marty loves to help his foster father fix
things around the house. He is fond of skating and likes the
water though he hasn't yet learned to swim.
Lovable young Marty needs a home where he will be the only
child or the youngest by several years and where the mother and
father will want to spend a great deal of time with their son.
To inquire about adoptingwMarty, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
please contact your local Children's Aid Society.

inyear. Ontario's conservat-
ion authorities are to be comm-
ended for sontributing to this
worthwhile program,'
Last year Project SWEEP,
implemented by Ontario's 38
cnnservation authorities and
co-ordinated through the min-
istry of natural resources' cons-
ervation authorities branch, at
Queen's Park, became part of
Experience '73, the collective
name for all student programs
administered by the Ontario
governm'ent's youth secretariat.
The purposes behind both Exp-
erience and SWEEP are employ-
ment opportunity andincentive,
plus developing programs that
provide a constructive service
to communities involved.
The work varies from author-
ity to authority. Basically,
however, it consists of such
tasks as the general clean-up
of roadsides, stream banks and
unofficial dumps, to the re-
construction of pioneer vill-
ages and the initial develop-
ment of new conservation areas.
Thirty-eight students employed
by the Credit Valley Conservat-
ion Authority, for instance, are
undertaking a number of jobs
which include such diverse
activities as house demolition
in Belfountain to painting play-
ground equipment in Mississ-
auga.
Much of this work could not
be undertaken without the
annual co-operation of Ford of
Canada which has lent the
project a number of trucks
since SWEEP began in 1971.
This year a total of 140 trucks;
70 1/2 ton trucks (pickups),
30 vans and 40 1/12 ton stake
trucks has been supplied.
The vehicles were picked up
at an official presentation held
in Ford's central office building
at Oakville June 7. They were
accepted by William T. Foster,•
the assistant deputy minister of
natural resources for Southern
Ontario, from David Welch,
vehicle sales manager for Ford.
