PSRTQ PERRY Did you know that hundreds of thousands of Canadian youngsters--your children and ours--are working to provide a better future for other millions of less fortunate children around the world? Each year at Hallowe'en, more and more Canadian children carry little UNICEF boxes on their "Pen- nies for UNICEF?' rounds. The coins they collect are used by UNICEF--the United Nationg Children's Fund--to help pro- vide food and health and school-- ing for other children whose hope lies in our concern. Last year, Canadian children collected the astonishing sum of $561,000 -- literally tons of coins--at Hallowe'en for UNI- Perry and Area Public Schools Farm Pond A federal-provincial ARDA contribution of 50 per cent of the cost of financing Ontario's $850,000 Farm Pond Assistance Program over the next two years has been approved. Federal forestry and rural development minister Maurice Sauve and provincial agricul- ture and food minister Wm. A. Stewart announced an equal cost-sharing of the $425,000 ex- penditure by the two govern- ments. : The purpose of the program is to improve the efficiency of agriculture operations in Ont- ario by providing farmers with financial assistance for the pro- vision of an adequate supply of water for livestock, spray- ing and irrigation through the construction of properly design- ed ponds. Under the Ontario Farm Pond policy, a grant of 50 per «children give it. : Editorial Page | Hallowe'en For UNICEF collected $267.27 in 1967 to help bring happiness and hope to the world's children. 'But more important, perhaps than the money is the lesson for all of us in the UNICEF Hallowe'en campaign. Our children respond immediately to UNICEF's appeal. For them the issues are simple. Other children need help, so our That is why Canadian child- ren carry the orange and black UNICEF boxes at Hallowe'en. That is why you should give generously when they ask you for "Pennies for UNICEF'. And, while you are at it, pause a moment to think about the ~open hearts of children. We can all learn a lesson from them. Assistance cent is provided for farmers who undertake the construction of an approved farm pond; the maximum grant being $500 for any one pond per 100 acres of land or fraction thereof. The assistance includes the cost of drilling test holes, exca- vation, levelling and fencing and is exclusive of the owner's labour, machinery or material. To qualify under the pro- gram, which is supervised by the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture and Food, a farm pond must have a minimum of 6,000 square feet of water sur- face and 1,500 square feet of water to a depth of 10 feet. In addition the farmer must own the land on which the pond is to be located and during the previous year he must have realized an income of at least $3,000 from his farming opera- tions. ; XX w on ---a -- " ~~) Loa - From the Imperial Oil Collection Cl (eereny< Samuel de Champlain on Georgian Bay, 1615. After his bitterly disappointing 1613 expedition up the Ottawa River in search of a northern sea that turned out to be nothing more than a figment of a fellow Frenchman's imagination, Champlain again braved the rapids of the Ottawa in 1615 as far as the Huron territory -around-Georgian-- Bay.

Champlain retreated with the Indians and 'spent' the winter going from village to vill- age recording the tribal customs of the various groups.
