Urges Group Action to Arrest Pollution in Talk to In the second part of his pre to the Concerned Cit izens of Georgetown hut week Carl Orchard Blvd of the Ontario Water Resources Commission gave many dram atic illustrations with recom mendations Showing slides to illustrate the many different forms of at gae he said Basically algae are absolutely essential in wa ter because they not only main tain the oxygen balance they sustain the entire food chain that exists within the aquatic environment They are the tiny plants upon which the micro- crustaceans and other tiny forms live upon This what feed the small fishes which in turn feed the larger ones and so without the product ion at the base you would have no fish production the top Problems with algae occur however when nut rient wastes accumulate in terg creating overgrowth of different algae forms One form of algae will cover shorelines another can clog filtra tion plants and decomposing in the lower waters create tremendous oxygen shortage as the bacterial action draws ox ygen from the water With the CANT Illustrating this problem he showed the pulp and paper In dustry at Ont where organic wastes ore decreasing the oxygen supply in the River Above the mill in Lake are found a wide diversity of fishes walleye perch boss pike whltettsh which is characteristic of any unpolluted environment Below the mill however In the river Is no fish life and not be fore miles down stream do any traces of gome fish re appear Loss of fish life also results from mine wosto operations which by producing a high acid ity condition destroys the car bon dioxido in the water and without this algae cannot grow ECONOMICS PREVAILS It becomes a problem of ec onomics versus natural values and as always the case econ omics usually prevails Mr Schenk continued This ten only true for pollution but for other considerations as well contamination of soils noise pollution urban sprawl to Church Immanuel Lutheran Church Windsor Road

St Albans Hall Dedication 11 John will speak Missions to Seamen at both services Many will claim that the technology that has gotten us Into this mess will gel us out but I wonder whether really the entire fabric of our framework is not so complex that in effect it Is becoming a most impossible to reach a sin gle consensus of purpose which will allow us to achieve an ad equate degree of environmental pollution control sold Mr You really feel especially for the individual who is cons tantly wondering What can I do I think more than any thing else though it means that a lethargic public is going to to get Interested and by itself separate fact from the fancy In the matter of en vironmcntal concerns to press for the right hind of action to motivate our politicians at every level in proper direction he said GROUP ACTION this raises tho ques tion of group action Mr Schenk continued I think this Is an organization such as CCOG should Investigate problems marshal tho facts and prepare sound statements or purpose on specific issues I think than anything else wo should express our views to our elected represents Uvea and I think that th3 can best be accomplished through group action As individuals there are many we can do in our own small ways we can stop littering produce less garbage refuse to purchase pesticides and other harmful products re fuse to uso products in non re turnable containers etc But while these are worthwhile con tributions I think it will take strong government action which can only be accomplished If our elected representatives championing environmental causes at the expense of prog ress in the commercial fields I don think they will ever do this until wo the public give them no alternative he THE REAL KEY come close to home It is significant that In spite of the fact that of George town has quadrupled since the war we still only have one swimming pool wo only have one arena and one library There are no significant Ions which

Baptist Church I think this Is a legitimate point of view that in spite of all Its growth tho typo of develop ment and lack of planning which characterizes so much of our organization docs not bring with it tho necessary things which lead to a quality of exis tence stated Mr Schenk I think this is the real key that if we get bigger and bigger it not necessarily better Returning to water control Carl concluded I think that this group should start to accumulate Information on the major activities and progress of the Conservation Authorlt You have a tremendous river resource and if properly oped con go a long way to meet tho full outdoor recreational needs of this part of the ho sold When we get to the stage of having river basin planning boards which arc essentially going to bo Inte grated government efforts there will be a means of com municating with the people and what their programs going to be for the watershed FOR FUTURE Its going to be Ineffective unless ore soma means of getting information down to the people of what the govern merits Intentions arc and in turn receive a playback of what it is the people really want said Mr I think In tho final analysis it up to you and me to see that orderly planned develop ment occurs In our area most of tho development of our natural assets not only for our own enjoyment but for the benefits of the future NOW WITH GOVERNMENT
