Natural resources re-organized, departments being relocated A re-organization by the Ministry of Natural Resources implements the moving of some offices from the Orono Tree Nursery to other District beadquarters. In general the re-organization has set-up seven regions with regional headquarters throughout the Province. The regions have been then divided into Districts which have almost doubled in number through the re-organization. The new scheme is to cut dowm on àdministration costs as well and accounting costs and to place more people in the field. The regions will handle all the adminstration and all the accounting for the districts and departments within the region. The districts will have only one or two office staff with the major portion of the office work being done in the regional offices. Receives Canada Cord The districts have been doubled in number and through the re-organization more people will be relieved to work in the field. The districts as a result are smaller than preylously. The Orono Tree Nursery now bas the status of a district but will only have concern for three growing. The Offices of the Conservation Officers and Timber Management will be moved from the Offices in Orono. The Orono Nursery will report to their regional headquarters in Richmond Hill. The operation and funcation of the tree nursery will not change at this time. Mr. Doug Powell, Conservation Officer for the Fjsh and Wildlife, Division is moved to a new office near Lake Scugog. Mr. AI. McFadyen also a Conservation officer has also moved to the new district headquarters. Mr. Doug Henson, a Timber foxester, will move to the Lindsay office for the management of Natural Resources. The Lindsay office staff will be eut to two again with the major portion of the office work being done in the regional office. Mr. Wayne Helson, a Timber Technician, is to remain in Orono for the time being but in the future is expected to move to the Lindsay office. At the present time calls for the Conservation Officers and Timber management officers will be received at the Orono Tree Nursery where they will be referred to the proper locations. In the future it is expected that Zenith numbers will be available to reach alf division of the Ministry in the district or region. ........... %A Nlb.P ... ....... .... . . . . . . ........... ... ........ to have received this honoured award and is to be congratul- ated.
