8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville; March 12, 1975 Section Two YOU'RE PART OF A TREND- That seemns to be what this calf is learning. There are about 745 4-H agricultural clubs operating in local communities across On- tario, a number that is growing steadily. In 4-H, young people take part in a learning experience. The 4-H'ers, living mostly in rural areas, participate primarily in projects of livestock, crops, ag- ricultural engineering, natural resources and farm management. Or if there's sufficient local in- terest in a different type of pro- ect, they can start up their own club. The community is involved closely with local 4-H groups. Leaders, for the most part, draw on their own experience to help these young people "learn to do by doing" - the motto that is fore- most in 4-H programs.

Under the new regulations, a custom sprayer is required to obtain an appropriate oper- ators and land exterminators hicense or lhcenses as follows: A Class 6 operators license to operate a land extermination business; A Class 5 license to perform exterminations using pesticides other the herbicides on agricultural land and or A Class 6 Licènse to perform exterminations using herb- icides on agricultural land-, The only exemptions to the fore mentioned requirements would include where an agri- culturalist is not operating an extermination business but instead is involved with shared work agreements, shared equipment or bas received an exemption from the director of the Pesticides Branch. The requirements that an operator must meet to obtain A /1 414%y Auto Repair 623-3896 3 Queen St. Iowmanville am Agri an operators license are that the applicant be at least 18 years of age, provide a letter financial responsibility from someone such ,as a bank manager , submit a $5.00 examination fee payable to the Treasurer of Ontario, pass an oral examination as set by the Board of Examiners, Ministry of the Environment and must offer proof of insurance before receiving the license. Requirements for land exterminators license classes 5 and or 6 are a medical certificate to be signed by a medical prac- titioner, certifying the can- didate is physically fit to do extermination work, proof of grade ten education or equiv- alent, two letters of character reference, the applicant must be at least 16 years of age or over .and be must submit a $5.00 examination fee for each class of examination, cheques to be made 'payable to the Treasurer of Ontario. The changes that have been made in t he Pesticide Act have created a lot of questions in many farmers minds especially those who do small amounts of custom work for neighbours or individuals who do not have sprayers of their own. A farmer should ask himself a number of questions such as: are you a custom sprayer who does a fair amount of custom work? Do you spray an occassional field of grain or corn for a neighbour and do you receive pay for it or do you just exchange work? If the an- swers to some of these questions aboveyare ·es, th-en you may find you will bave to have a custom sprayer license for 1975. In other related cases rou may not need such a icense. To answer these and other related questions, the directors of the Durham Soil and Crop Improvement Association recommended that we set up a meeting for the County farmers who are interested in the changes made in the Pesticide Act where farmers could get more information from personnel in the Ministry of Environment Pesticide Section as well as the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture & Food staff.

Federal Gov't Serves Notice lt's Takling Over e Puickering The Federal Government is serving legal notice that it is taking possession of lands expropriated in 1973 for the construction of Pickering air- port, it was announced recent- y by the Honourable Charles M. Drury, Minister of Public Works. Letters are being mailed today to all former owners giving notification that the Crown will take legal possess- ion of the land May 30, 1975. This fulfills a requirement of the Canada Expropriation Act which is admnistered by Public Works Canada. Because of the present postal situation, these letters were deposited at the post office in Markham, Ontario, for distribution to sub-post offices in Brougham, Stouff- ville, Claremont and Aurora, which serve the majority of the former property owners affected. Some letters were sentthrough the Toronto main post office. Approximately 70 proper- ties, 36 of which are occupied are located in the area where construction is planned to commence in 1975. These properties comprise approx- imately 1,800 acres of the 18,000 expropriated. The De- partment is offering lease arrangements to ail other occupants of properties in the expropriated area at rates Lands' based on a fair market value established by an independent survey of comparable value for farms, residences and vacant lands in the adjacent area. All properties occupied by former owners has been on a rent free basis since the expropriation date of January 30, 1973. Within a few months of January 30, 1973, the Depart- ment made 717 offers of compensation to former own- ers. Only 35 did not accept the government offer. Those who did receive payment without prej'udce to their night to miak eaclaimfor aditional compensation. To minimize disruption of occupants of the zone im- mediately affected, consider- ation will be given to an extension of one month. This will allow families with child- ren to plan their move to coincide with the end of the school ternm. All former owners in occu- pation will be given first o tion to purchase their res- idences for removal from the site. The construction sched- ule is resently being pre- pared by the Ministry of Transport. To facilitate leasing ar- rangements, Public Works bas a property management office in the Pickering area at Brougham on Highway 7.

Dog Owning Councillor Advises Citizens to Control Their Pets Or Council WiII Have "If people would control their dogs, we would not have a dog problem in Newcastle." This statement was made by Councillor Kenneth E. Lyall of the Newcastle Council in an interview last week. "In my experience, munici- pal officiais have spent more meeting time debating dog nuisances than any other municipal matter," Mr. Lyall said. "The problem would be so easily controlled if people would only take the time to look after their animals properly*" According to Mr. Lyall, the majority of dog complaints are received by Town officials following garbage collection. "There is nothing in the world as angry and hostile as a householder who beholds the sight of garbage strewn all over a front lawn, the result of a garbage can having been tipped over or garbage having been ripped and chewed over by dogs." "I am a dog owner and a dog admirer myself," Mr. Lyall continued. "My Nick is a well-known and well-behaved and a well controlled dog but despite my feelings, I too join the anti-dog brigade when I see strewn garbage all over the place or a bunch of male dogs running the streets in a Victorian Papers Show A Different Mark Lenon, son of Bill and Urla Lemon of Ontario Street, Bowmanvilie was in Oshawa the other day to watch the demolition of a house in which the family had lived several years ago. He found some antique papers among the rubble. They are beautifully printed and engraved copies of a London monthly tabloid called "The British Workman". The issues Mark found are dated between January and Septem- ber 1888W Despite their 87 years, the papers are in wonderful condition, but tbat is not their only attraction. Lately it bas been fashion- able to debunk the old cliche phrases in favor of a racier interpretation of Victorian society. The recent book by Kellow Chesney, The Victor- ian Underworld is a good case in point. These papers serve as a nice reminder thatpeople like Chesney are only deahng witb a small percentage of the Victorian population. The British Workman as the name implies is directed at the large artisan class. One article entitled "The Engine- driver's, Story" exborts tradesmen, however modest their incomes, to buy life insurance to keep their wives and little ones out of the workhouse if the breadwinner should be "untimely taken". cî does a Victoriana fan- cier's heart good to see that our forefathers were not just a more bypocritical version of ourselves. Every article bas a message, usually clothed in an earnest little story of domestic difficulties finally resolved by return of the prodigal to the straight and narrow path of virtue Every phrasewe have ever used to describe the character of the age fits The British Workman. It is tem- perate, earnest, morall up- right, serious, and endorses hard work. And above ail it is World refreshngly literate! The following tidbit by a Dr. Channing entitled "Time for Self-Culture" is a good example: It is asked, How can the labouring man find time for self-culture? I answer that an earnest purpose finds time or makes time. I seize on spare moments, and turn fragments into golden account. A man who follows his calling with industry and spirit, and uses his earnings economically, will always have some portion of the day at command; and it is astonishing how fruitful of improvement a short season becomes when eagerly seized and faithfully used. It has often been observed, that those who have the most time at their disposal profit by it the least. A single hour in the day, steadily given to the, study of some interesting subject, brings unexpected accumulations of knowledge. The British Workman January 1888 to Stepin Spring pack, fighting and snarling over a bitch inheat." According to Mr. Lyall, there are more anti-c ç0 people than there are lovers and the dog admirerS had better become aware of this fact, that unless dog owners commence right now to look after their beasts, so that the do gs do not become a nuisance, t he anti-dog people a're going to push successfully for t he implementation of real severe antî-dog laws. Mr. Lyall said that the New Town of Newcastle has in- creased its animal control division from one officer to two officers and bas doubled the capacity of the Town dog pound in Bowmanville. "How- ever, unless dog owners smarten up, all that official dom can do will be negated and this. will suret y resultin a public outcry for harsher dog control laws." Mr. Lyall concluded by saying "Dogs are the best friend that a man, woman or child can have, but a stupid person's dog that is allowed to run loose is a biight on a neigbourhood. I JOHN F.
