They were greatly impressed by the large numbers of security and press people in the entourage and the very fit appearance of the Prime Minister. We were fortunate to be present also at' the Orono Horticulture meeting, last Thursday evenîng when Mr. Robt., Cheeseman, Ad- ministrator for Landscape Ontario was the guest speaker. Hîs topic included "The Return of Arbor Day into the Sehool System" and a slide presentation on " Green Survival". We were mucb impressed by bis remarks of the need for the training of our young into respect for our trees and surroundings, as an attempt to stop the tremen- dous rash of vandalism. We certainly agreed witbhlhm when he stated "If school, children had to dlean up their surroundings and were taught the great value to mankind of every single tree, then likely they would pay greater respect to their surroundings in general." He urged the large audience to contact Mr. Samn Cureatz M.P.P. to urge bis support on the bill to parliament which bis organi- zation has presented. It is their attempt to get Arbor Day legislated back into the system. During the question period about Green Survival we questioned him on just how, we the local citizens, could go about saving the best piece of green property-park land which is in our commun- ity - namely the Pine Ridge School. His answer was again, to contact our M.P.P. to ask bis support for our Regional officials, when they attempt to purchase the/f property. Readers please take note and do your duty on these two important issues.
