To help with their share to prevent this oncoming trad- gedy, great efforts are beîng put forth by local residents, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart MacKay to save the land surrounding them. They have been work- ing with approximately 475 acres of natures most beaut- iful' gifts, for the hast six years, restoring and'improv- ing the land. One of the most imtportant contents of this property is one pf the headwaters of the well known Wilmot Creek. The adjoining property to the north, which is owned by Mr. Carl Wilson holds the other part 6f these headwaters. Wilmot Creek is supposed to be one of the two pure water creeks remaining in South- eastern Ontario, and the MacKays are trying to keep it that way.' "But" they say "It is very hard, being so close to Mosport". During the race season, the roads are ouled and of course in the winter there is sait which is believed to seep into the creek. Also in the summertime, such objects as mattresses, pi 1eces of clothing, and other garbage have been pulled out of the water. Mr. MacKay said that hie wouhd hike to see the road bordering the creek closed down and used as a walkway for other people to enjoy the scenery. But it would be near to impossible, because of the use of the road for Mosport and the gravel pit. In order to remain pure, the creek must be cleaned out constantly during the sum- mer. If all goes well, the MacKays hope, to be hirîng several students, under the supervision of the M inistry of Natural Resources to work on, the land, and keep the creek free of polluting objects. It wouhd be a very interest- ing project, and it would certainhy 'keep the summer free fromn boredom for these students. .To aid in the holding of the water, there has been some 20,000 trees plants, with an 'expected number of ten to fifteen thousand to be planted this spring. Among these are red pine and black walnut. One, of three, ponds on the land has been surrounded by Cedar, Spruce, and Pine. Mr. MacKay said that in time hie hopes to plant hardwoods between the red pines and walnuts. To the south of the original land is their new addition, the old Coryell property.

Hiîgh Winds Delay Search ,TInursday's high-winds have forced a further delay in the underwater search for 'the body of Mrs. Kay Andringa who feli through the ice- on Lake Ontari o off Darlington Provincial Park on Sunday. Provincial Police at New- castle, who are in charge of the case, said today the waves are still too high to permit divers to search the lake bottom. Mrs. Andringa of Grand- view Ave., was walking along the ice with her husband and her family when the ice beneath her suddenly gave way and she slipped into the lake.

As for these conservation- ist's views of Clarke's Fish and Conservation Club's use of the creek for fishing they think it is ridiculous because the stream is too small. Their property displays a rare and interesting feature in particular.' Ontario's first farmer, William Nay, along, with his wife Rosanne, and several children are buried in a small graveyard, which can be seen from one of the MacKay's Houses. The date of Mr. Nay's death was some- time around 1850.
