fertilizer in the case of those farmers who have suf lered 25 percent or more crop loss all of these programs have been very well received and have been of considerable help to the farmerproducer mr kerr said t however he said an ade quate crop insurance program is also needed the proposed program will provide coverage up to 80 per cent of the normal production of a particular crop protection is

hon j r snnonett minister of energy and resources management all applications for grants under the new reservoir policy must be in by december 1966 but we have reason to believe that some type of

000 almost 93 percent of this money has been designated for water conservation the state ment added on executive mr mcmjilan announced that he had recently received word of his appointment to the exec

the rainbow pert 19yearold helene balabon sees no reason why a young lady can t pursue a career in conservation after working from the hal ton region conservation author ity office for the past two weeks the blonde haired green eyed university student reports i ve heard a rumor that i might be the first woman in canada do this kind of work but it doesnt make any difference to me i don t see why others can t do it as a summer assistant she will have to learn to scale logs and measure them make a col lection of plants do odd jobs around the office cruise he woodlots learn a little survey ing and work on the blueprints for a creek diversion plan most of these jobs might be considered mens wark but helene doesn t see why i should be able to do them with out too much trouble every one seems very friendly and theyll help if necessary she said she has just completed her first year of an agricultural course at the university of guclph and next year she hopes to start a haveyear forestry course at the university of to ronto it never really occurred to me to do anything except work with nature wildlife intrigues me and collecting plants has been a hobby of mine for a long time helene indlca ted although some might consid er her a misplaced lady she refuses to accept the suggestion that she is invading a man s world when she joins a conser vatlon stag this type of job suits me fine and i hope i do well enough to encourage other girls to do this work that is if im really the first woman in canada to try it she added versatile is the word for her entertainment diet she ikes folk

a mouel of an open channel which would contain and control the waters of morrison and wedge wood creeks in the event of flooding caused by another storm like hurricane haiel tests on the model are being done by dr a brebner and professor s s lazier of queen s civil engineering department for j m tomlinson and associates of burlington a consulting en gineering firm which has been engaged by tlhe halton region conservation authority the plan calls for the waters of the morrison and wedge- wood creeks to be diverted some 2 000 feet into 16 mile creek queen s engineers were given the job of testing a model of the chute spillway section of the channel which would tame the torrential flow in the event of another hazel maximum flow along this sec tion has been set at 3 000 cubic feet per second or nearly 2000- 000 gallons per minute prof essor lazier and student assist ant david carney of elliott lake ontario are now testing the model at what would be peak flow 380 gallons per mi nute constructed of plywood on a scale of 130 the model consists of an open channel of rectang ular crosssection with a slope of four per cent followed by a chute with a 30 per ceqt slope at the bottom of this very steep slope the velocity of the water is approximately so miles an hour the tremendous energy in this high velocity jet must be de before the water ea ten 10 mile creek said pre feasor

hydraulic ju at the base of the steep chute there is a stilling basin u blocks which break up the wat ers flow causing k to swirl and expend its energy working with plans provided by the consulting
