Conservation Aut hority Expected to Look After Marshes at Hydro Plant West Durham District Appreciation Night Outdoor Consultant for the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education, King Baker, showed slides and gave a talk to Scout leaders at the West Durham District Appreciation night, held Fri- day, April 4th, in the New- castle Community Hall. The slides depicted a recent trip up the Missmabi River to Moos- onee. The trip by canoe was taken by Mr. Baker and a friend. The slides showed undisturbed wilderness and the beauty and danger of nature. Comment- ary was on a tape recorder and the sound of wolves howling in the background added to the show. Mr. Baker commented that it was training as a Boy Scout that inspired him to undertake such adventures. He also expressed his fear that such areas as those in the slides would disappear to make room for progress. He stated it was his hope that these areas would be preserved as they are for future generations. Appreciation night is held each year to present awards to those Scout leaders, Cul masters, etc. in this area wh have earned them.
