Conservation Authority Reimbursed by Betchel For Pipe Betchel Canada Ltd., contractors for the Sarnia- Montreal Inter-Provincial Pipeline has given the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) over $14,000 to restore damaged CLOCA land in the Stephen's Gulch area. CLOCA was reimbursed for $14,000 by the contracting firm to plant about 500 trees and re-seed grass and ground cover on about four acres of land northeast of Bowman- ville. Before construction on the 520 mile pipeline began, line Dar Betchel signed an agreement with CLOCA to remove veg- etation within the construction limits of the pipeline. A program to revegetate the area crossed by the pipeline with the suitable species of vegetation is expected to be complete by the fall of 1976, a CLOCA report states. Betchel's Environmental Manager, E.W. Stobart has worked with CLOCA on the program to protect a total of 15 watercourses traversed by the pipeline.

After N Jack Thompson reviewed t mathematics program Hobbs School, he outlined t teaching methods used for t metric system. The parer present were given an opp tunity to try their skills conversion. Since tho present seemed to need mu more practice at this, it w suggested that perha parents should take some tin to master this system measurement. Mr. Clyde Wilson fro Durham College spoke to ti group and urged all the peop of Bowmanville and th surrounding rural areas1 make more use of th excellent facilities which w as taxpayers have alrea paid for. He asked f suggestions of courses whi would be helpful. One goo suggestion was a course f coaching various sports.

Many of the Shaw' residents would appreciat better shopping facilities righ here in Bowmanville. Sinc many of those we spoke t have difficulty finding enougl variety in our stores a present, they are forced t look for clothing and house hold items in Oshawa. It waz mentioned, though, that wE still do like to patronize loca well-known merchants for th staples of our lives and it mainly for the special items which families require now and again that we leave our town. We have noticed too, that many times we can buy more cheaply in Bowmanville and it is then that we realize that we are really paying for the glamour of the large shopping centre with its large variety and fancy stores.

Oshawa Pipeline Damage Restored for CLOCA Betchel Canada Ltd., contractors for the Sarnia-Montreal Inter-Provincial Pipeline reimbursed the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) recently for damage to property in the Stephen's Gulch area north-east of Bowmanville. Betchel's environmental manager, Mr. E. Stobart (left) presented a $14,149 cheque to CLOCA's chairman, Mr. J.G. Goodwin (right) to cover the cost of planting about 500 trees on four acres of land on the CLOCA property. re hit hMe and the le ad By John Squirrelly -egan tot g- The other night, I was talked ould sha to into doing something that I is, sort o y had managed to avoid ever writing t i- since my children started sort of thi s kindergarten -I attended a were ann nt home and school meeting. As I got up an y was about to drop my wife off ber and y at the H&S session enroute to engaged n my heading for a pub to watch research e. a hockey game, the associ- governme e ation's chaplain spotted me. up most r. "Why, Mr. Squirrelly, what a would re n surprise. I do believe this is decline to O the first time I've seen YOu. to pull the e here?' I started to protest that the excus a I had an urgent appointment into the b downtown but, by this time, he fans in t 's already had the door open and e was helping me out of the car. o "Oh, you'll enjoy the pro- y gramme to-night," the chap- e lain gushed. "This is our talent h night and all the little kiddies ,and some of their parents have ll been working for weeks on the ). show." I groaned audibly. t We had reached the front *e door of the school and Iknew I h was sunk. The good reverend o escorted me right to the >f auditorium and picked out a n seat nearthe front, probably so I couln't sneak out without s being the target of a hundred e recriminating eyes. t The president, Mrs. Crud- e buckets, called the assembly o to order and had the secretary h read the minutes of the last t meeting which apparently o consisted of a lively debate on the merits of white-washing s the school's bicycle racks. The e decision was deferred to the l following year. e Next on the agenda was an s announcement that the grade s one teacher, Miss Whammo, was leaving to get married and would be replaced by Miss Leadbottom who was then asked to stand up and be introduced. Miss Leadbottom acknowledged the polite applause unsmilingly and I began to feel sorry for the little kids in grade one. She looked like an ex-matron at the women's prison. Mrs. Crudbucket droned on for another ten minutes and ci then declared that the meeting was over and they could Da proceed to the entertainment. "Don't forget," she chirped, "immediately after we'll have p le oa our annual election of officers." Corri The show started off with a terrified little boy singing a ove song about his new shoes and generally giving the impression that all he wanted to do was use his shoes to get the hell out of there. He was followed by a plump girl of about nine who recited poetry to the accompaniment of a set of bongo drums which were as badly out of rhythm as the poetry was out of rhyme. The next attraction was the school choir which gave a rendition of someGilbert and Sullivan numbers. My ten-year-old son was in the choir and I could see him rhythmically pulling the pony tail of the girl in front of him. I managed to sleep through the rest of the programme. When it ended, Mrs. Crud- bucket reappeared and pro- claimed that the election of officers would take place shortly. I started to look toward the exit, wondering if I could still catch the third period and a couple of beers, when the chaplain sat down beside me. "I hope you don't mi," he said,'"b"uti nominated you for secretary- W E treasurer. I mean, since you don 't really have a steady job, it wouldn't be much trouble for you. There's almost nothing to it, anyway." He fnitted away before I had 215 a chance to say anything. When the elections came up, there were two candidates for secretary, myself and a stun- ning redheaded woman. I think that maybe we re the position, that f work together on he minutes and that ng. When our names ounced, she quickly nd stated that since her husband were in some scientific for the federal nt which would take of their time, she gretfully have to stand...I was about e same tactic, using e that my research ehaviour of hockey bars would not be completed until the last game of the Stanley Cup finals, when old Crudbucket declared that I was the new secretary - treasurer by acclamation. I got up in time to have the chaplain shake my hand and congratulate me. I never got in a word. Just as Montreal was prob- ably scoring the winning goal, someone came up and handed me a large box of papers, notes and account books. "These aren't in very good shape," he said, "so I expect that you'll have to spend a few hours straightening them out. Oh yes, don't forget to phone each of our 275 members to remind them of the meetings. Section1 That shouldn't take you more than a day or so each week. Also, we need ten copies of the minutes. Have fun." As I was leaving the auditorium, it occurred to me that if ever I was lucky enough to get rabies, I'd bite that chaplain. O"PP..
