The monthly rate for Ajax-Pickering, for example is $10.70 as opposed to $5.55 in Blackstock. Ms. Veater told the meeting that Bell presently is considering an expansion to the exchange building in Blackstock for 19882, and the following year the company may decide to proceed with One dead, 4 injured (From Page 1) General in serious condition and Irene Fink, 17, of Scarborough was taken to Scarborough General Hosp- ital, also in serious condition. As of early Tuesday morning, police had not yet been able to determine who was driving the Firebird, and the accident is still under investigation. The second car was a 1977 Corvette driven by Peter McDermott, 22, of Oshawa. He is listed in serious NEED PHOTOCOPIES? We can do them for you. PORT PERRY STAR 235 Queen Street 985-7383 extending the toll-free service area. "The first step would be to conduct a survey to find out how many subscribers want the extended servce," she said, noting that the govern- ment regulatory agency (CRTC) expects more than 65 percent of the people to be in favour of such an exten- sion before it is implemented Figures from Bell suggest that the cost to implement condition in Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto. A passen- ger in the car, Randy Prosser of Mason Street, Blackstock is in Oshawa General, also listed in serious condition. As. of Tuesday morning, police had been unable to interview the injured persons, and no details as to how 'the accident occurred have been released. Damage to the Corvette is estimated by police at $9000 and $8000 to the Firebird. the service for new equip- ment would be about $600,000 and this would mean a hike in the monthly rates in Cart- wright from $5.55 to $7.15. And it would also mean an increase in the monthly rates to subscribers in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Hampton from the present $6.65 to $7.15. Ms. Veater said there is a possibility the company could move towards extend- ed toll-free service on an optional basis, that is for those customers in Cart- wright who want it, but not for those who don't want it. This option would push the monthly rate even higher, she said, for those who use it. While the committee didn't get what it was after from Bell Canada, it did get a resolution out of Scugog council supporting the com- mittee's actions. However, Cartwright resi- dents will have to wait until at least 1983 and probably longer before they are able to dial Oshawa, Bowman- ville or Hampton without a long distance charge.

Hints to control Birch tree pests If home owners don't take precautions, birch trees can be devastated by two com- mon pests--birch leafminer and bronze birch borer. If the birch leafminer is at work, circular or irregular tan patches appear on the leaves. When seriously in- fected the entire tree looks brown and wilted by mid- June. Injury is caused by larvae feeding in the central leaf tissue. A second genera- tion may appear in July but damage is usually less sev- ere. The Pest Diagnostic and Advisory Clinic at the Uni- versity of Guelph, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food, offers suggestions for partial con- trol. An advisor, Professor C.B. Kelly, says that with proper equipment, large trees can be sprayed with malathion, Orthene, Sevin or Meta-Systox R. "Spray when the first leaves are fully opened for maximum absorption," he says. "For better control, a second treatment will be needed in early July." Professor Kelly recom- mends that for effective treatment next year, the tree trunk should be painted when the leaf buds break. Painting can produce better results than spraying be- cause the chemical soaks into the tree and is carried by the sap to the infected leaves. 'Paint undiluted Cygon 2E in a band, the same width as the trunk diameter, as well as large branches on older \_ ( : port 3 ( Stationery & Office Suprrly 235 Queen St. - Port Perry - 985-7383 y See Us Today For .

"Caution should be used because chemical treat- ment can cause wiping to young or wea , og Ak transplanted within the last year." The paint-on treatment must not be applied twice in the same place because it wil kill the bark. Professor Kelly says he uses coloured thumb tacks to mark previous years' applications. The bronze birch borer is far more destructive than the leafminer. In a few years it can kill European, . white, and cut-leaved weep- ing birch varieties. The slender, white larvae bore into the sapwood, exca- vating crooked burrows. The insects' exit holes some- times exude sap. The tree slowly strarigles from lack of nourishment, causing yel- lowish or dying foliage at the tree tips. Again, control is ex- tremely difficult but Profess- or Kelly gives helpful sug- gestions. "Keep the trees growing vigorously by adding fertil- izer, mulch, or manure if the soil is depleted. In dry weather, soak the base of the tree with generous watering. Cut out and burn dead or infested limbs. If possible, plant varieties such as the native birch that are less susceptible to severe attack." Tops Club by Mary Payne On June 6th the Port Perry Tops Club held their meeting at the high school. It was a very rewarding week indeed as there was a total weight loss of 15Y4 pounds. The high loser of the week was Bonnie Payne while Mary Payne had the honour of being Queen for the month. As the meetings close for the summer months with just weigh-ins weekly it was decided to hold a picnic on June 20th at Poplar Park. So long until next fall when I hope to C.U. Lighter.
