PAGE 13 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.

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. 0 A man of understanding finds less difficulty in submitting to a wrong-headed fellow than in attempting to set him right.
