The unmerchantable Scotspine Scotspine stand was bulldozed, by the landowner, into east-west windrow during the winter of 1973-74. Left to dry until now, each windrow was carefully burned to eliminate the slash and prepare the site for planting next spring. Equipment and manpower consisted of hand tools, two tank pumpers each holding 1000 gallons of water, four Ministry employees, assisted by 2 seasonal employees and 5 experience 75 students. These resources were strategically placed around the perimeter and ensured a safe controlled burn. Fire when used by an expert can be a useful silvicultural tool. However its use should be restricted to those who have the knowledge, skill and equipment to always keep it "UNDER CONTROL", states a Ministry release. On Saturday members of the Ganaraska Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources Resources viewed this site where the operation was explained. It is now expected that red pine trees will be planted on this location with the possibility possibility of scouts and cubs assisting assisting in the planting. The group also viewed a site which had received the same burn treatment and was replanted by scouts and cubs this past spring to red pine. A red pine forest takes at least 90 years to reach maturity. Work activity for welfare cases ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, JULY 16, 1975-5 LOCAL NEWS Mrs. Saide Hamilton of R. R. 2, Orono returned home last week after a delightful vacation in Alaska. Durham Region Council will be asked to approve a program designed to reduce expanding welfare rolls although although the program was cut during budget debate. The work activity program, which would attempt to instil the work habit in about 70 people now receiving general welfare assistance, was reintroduced reintroduced at the social services committee meeting Thursday by Coun. Jim Potticary (Oshawaj. At the last meeting of the committee, members were informed that the number of welfare cases rose 30 percent between May 1975 and May 1974. Indications were that this increase would not subside during the balance of 1975, but become worse. Activities could include helping senior citizens cutting grass, or doing household chores. According to Mr. Johns, this would also tend to keep more elderly people at home longer, instead of moving into a home for the aged. Oh ter work, activities could include painting municipal property or cleaning pathways pathways in parks. Mr. Johns emphasized these jobs would not otherwise be done and no worker would be put out of work by them. "If we can take 10 people off welfare, it might mean a saving of $50,000 in one year, and that's only the first year. In 10 years, the saving could be phenomenal." "It's better to tackle the hard-core welfare cases, the people who are in good health but have lost their morale because they've been without jobs for a long time," said Coun. Potticary. \seeV ft »x< Y V e 0* Maintain the fresh appearance and taste of fruits in salads and desserts and other freezing, canning and preserving by using Ascorbic Acid 25 gr. $2.00 ORONO, ONT. 983*5009 Check your Phene 983-5693 HEATING SYSTEM NOW!
