RAR 3, Bowmanville 579-8323 ported in >rogram respect for law among Ontario's 60,000 Indian citizens, according to its originator, Mr. Goard. "The programi bas proven to be an unqualified success and the spin-off effect bas been tremendous," saîd Mr. Goard. Other provinces and certain areas in the U.S. are very seriously investigating its merits. One hundred O.P.P. trained Indian constables are dispersed among Ontario's 110 reservations. They receive the samne instruction atthe O.P.P. training and development centres in Toronto and Aylmer as any other constable. They are scbooled, in law enforcement methods, interpretation of the law, self- defence, and first aid. Upon completion of the indoctrination program, an Indian constable is assigned to a band where hie receives continuous practical on-the- job training from a coach officer. Indian citizens respond more favorably to an Indian constable, who understands them and their uncomplicated way of life. Unfair Stereotypes Mr. Goard explained that our Indian citizens are a very moral people and that the old stereotype of the drunken Indian in the street is an unfair one. Alcohol is stili the number one problem on the reservations, hie saîd, but it is the Indians' lack of exposure which bas caused the problem. Unemployment and a lack of education have been contributing factors also to the Indians' unfavorable image over the years. "Incidentally," stated Mr. Goard, "some band councîls have banned alcohol on their reserves in a concentrated effort to deal witb the problem. Good Resuits The Indian policing program is getting gratifying resuits and the Band Chiefs from Ontario's 110 reserves approve and support it. Indian constables are appointed under the Police Act by the Commîssioner of the O.P.P. and salaries are derived, from a federal- provincial cost-sharing agreement established in 1975. They are paid on a comparable basis with any Ontario Provincial Police constable. The Indian policing programn is administered by the 0. P. P. but when constables are assigned to a reserve, tbey are responsible to the Band Chief and Council.

Biggest Beat Mr. Goard told Rotarians another important aspect of the Indian Policing Program is the increased presence of the O.P.P. in the far north. Indian constables are now regularly visiting remote settlements in northern Ontario, whicb is one of the biggest police beats in the wotld. Rotarians were shown a film- in which Indians described, in their own words, the social problem and crime they face today and how misunderstandings arose when non-natives policed their communities. They also told the story of how the presence of special Indian constables, who are now important members of the community, bas împroved law enforcement and generated a heightened sense of pride and co-operation.

This had been suggested when land was r urcbased for the road, and later interested people urged it again. Now that completion of the plant bas been postpon- ed for some time, trees will be planted as part of the wrapping up process. Sue Stickley from Hydro, George Stapleton and Mrs. Marylin McHolm from Hope council, Kim Osmars from Forestry, Harold and Gwen Best, and Mrs. E. Barrowclough met on the access road on Thursday morning, April 12, to discuss the kind of trees and location. Tbey will line the road on one side from 401 to the lakeshore, and will be bard maple, white oak and white ash. Only younger people will see these trees reacb maturity but it is a great satisfaction to watch tbem grow. About one bundred years ago Hope council had a plan to beautify tbe roads and paid residents twenty-five cents for each maple tree planted and surviving the second year. Two.wbo did some of that planting were George Best and Simon Barrowclougb; the generations since have enjoy- ed their beauty but most have gone now from old age or- wind. It is a pleasure to know some will take their place. Planting would be difficult on most roads today because of saIt and spray but this road is wide. There is a long bistory of tree planting in Hope and readers may be interested in excerpts from sessional papers of 1885: "Mr. E. A. WIVESLEY VILLE 0SYAL LOt!

As soon as the field was cleared the spring dried up, and rerouted within the forest; it is now only at the junction that-I have water. If that were cleared up I should have none. To retrieve the mistake if possible, I am allowing this field to grow up in an underbrush, have kept cattie out for six years, and trust to see it again a forest. The field is now pretty thickly covered with young trees in all stages of growth, maple, elm, birch and basswood, pine and oak, froma the young elm which had just pushed through the ground last faîl, to the thriving maple of twelve feet in height - in ten years I shahl again have a forest here, and I think, my creeks again. - Mr. Lowe close by has twenty maples which had been set out in a double row sixteen years Powers, Hope township, Durham, states that the whole country is being very rapidly denuded of wood. It is selling now at $7 a cord, and an acre of good wood averaging between forty and fifty cords, the right to cut it readily selîs for a hundred dollars,, after which the land immediately produces a crop and conse- quently gives a, ren t. The consequence, is that the country is becoming bleak and cold and much of the winter wheat i annually winter killed; farmers are taking to coal, and in no long time if reforesting be not adopted, farmers must depend entirely on the United States for their fuel.;"The process of deforest- ing" , says Mr. Powers, "bas been very rapid. Twenty years ago there was a square haîf mile of forest near me, and plenty of forest ail around, but we a,, thought there would' always be plenty of timber, and we cleared it up. I have myseif fifteen acres of forest yet standing, but it is pretty well culled of the best timber, and my father and brother bave the3 right to cut wood as well as myself, so the wood is fast vanishing. I have a field of ten acres this side of it of under brush as you see (we were then driving along a sleigh track through the underbrusb in question)". Mr. Powers remarks that two small ravines run diagonally across the field in question, joining within bis 15 acres of bush. This ravine is now dry. "You would not think that in this serpentine hollow ran once a babbling brook; but it was an excellent spring creek, fed by living springs at the heads of these ravines.
