And a Christmas tree for chickadee-nuthatch Woods, Water and WildIfe fly: Ron Red - Federation of Ontario Naturalists It's Christmas ture once again, and in parking lots across the nation row upon rows of fresh-cut Christmas trees lie in waît for Christmas shoppers. Despite the in- roads of tinsel-and-plastic ar- tificial trees, natural evergreens at $20 and up are still the mrost popular cen- trepiece for Christmas celebrations. If you select a natural tree, don't feel gui;ty about despoiling the natural en- vironment, since almost ail Christmas trees are now grown commercially. However, you can also make Christmas an occasion to help improve the environ- ment, with a little- thought. As a small beginning, leaving your. discarded Christmas trees beside your bird feeder for the winter can provide welcome shelter for. your chîckadees and nuthatches. Some naturalists also decorate a second tree, preferably a live one in their yard, to share Christmas with the birds. Chains of popcorn and peanuts, suet balîs stuff- ed with seeds, pieces of stale cake and cookies, and caches of sunflower seeds poked into the branches and crevices can ail provide a feast on a cold Christmas morn. You might also want to consîder a live Christmas She saîd the present level of service has neyer been given before and it is being used quiteextensively. She said with a news report earlier this year that the ser- vice was to be discontinued she had approached Charter- ways who had been most co- operative and who have im- proved service in the Ward. The bus service is provided on Tuesdays departing -from Kendal at '9:40 a.m. and tree, that can be planted after the festive season. 0f necessi- ty, live trees are usually smaller, since the potted roots are heavy. A smali white pine i 's usually cheaper and easier to handle than the traditional spruce. When the potted tree is brought insîde, it should be watered welI, but mnake sure that the pot has drainage holes so that the roots are flot damaged by constant saturation. Hot, dry houses are very hard on live trees, s0 try to keep your tree in a cool spot, and mist it frequently. If you are careful, a tree can bc kept indoors for several weeks without damage, but five to seven days is a better rule of thumb. After Christmas, plant the tree in a hole you prepared before freeze-up. Banking your new- tree with snow ovýr the roots will likely also help to prevent it from frost damagc. In the rural and northerni areas of Ontario, cutting your own Christmas tree is an annual family tradition. Balsamn fi- or cedar are a bet- ter choice than spi-uce in this case, since they hold their needies more îightly. One friend annually scouts the surrounding woods for a wind-thrown fir, so that he can harvest the top six feet or so. He ends up with a dense, cone-laden Christmas tree, without having to rob the forest of' any of its living resources. returning 5:15 p.m. The ser- vice includes stops at Kirby, six stops in Orono including the Senior Citizens Lodge, thi-ce stops in Newcastle andi two in Bowmanville. T4he report to which Hamre referred also points out that connection can be made with GO service to travel to and from Oshawa.

He died this past weekend in a Midland hospit, afteýr suffering a lengthy illness. Jones, 44, was elected to the position of second vice- president at OFA's 1980 con- vention. He held that posi- tion until last month's con- vention, when he did not stand for re-election. He was' a strong, vocal pro- ponent of farmer's rights, and especially of the impor- tance of giving support and encouragement to young and beginning farmers. He work- ed diligently both at the local and provincial levels'to en- sure th at lai-mers were treated fairly. Jones, a beef and pork producer, had a long history of involvement in farm organizations. He was active- ly involved in t hemi for 12 years,.and was an OFA direc- toi- for seven. He chaired OFA's Properties Committee and was instrumental in help- ing Ontario get a revised Trespass to Property and Line Fences Act. Jones, renowned for, his sharp mmnd and sharp wit, served Ontario's farmeys with remai-kable, diligence. H'e was a representative to the On- tario Trails Council, past president of the Simcoe County Federation of Agriculture, and OFA's representative to the Provin- cial Stabilization Commr.ittee. His frankness, friendliness and bis unflagging dedication to, the issues he believed in, made hiu a welcome and ap- preciated contributor to these, and other organiza- tions. The OFA bas lost an ex- tremely valuable member. Jones is survived by his wife, Elaine, and four childi-en. The funeral services will be held December 14 at 1:30 at Nichol 's Funieral Home, Midland.
