Important informations by J. Gilchrist District Visitor Services Programmer The 1981-82 winter season will be the last year that the Ministry of Natural Re- sources will "supply funds under the Winter Recreation Trails Maintenance Program for snowmobile and cross-country ski trails. Funds have been spent on signage, brushing and grooming of trails in the past. This year most grants in Lindsay District will be limited to maintaining trunk routes between towns and villages. The portion of the "Sno 1" trail in Lindsay District, from Vansickle to Nephton, will be groomed by some of the local snowmobile clubs. Grooming of trails through the Ganaraska Forest will be done by Ministry of Natural Resources personnel. Cross-country trails at Balsam Lake Provincial Park, the Emily Tract of The Victoria County Forest and the Northumberland County forest will all be groomed. Since 1974, the Ontario Winter Recreation Trails Maintenance Program has provided 1,300 clubs in Ont- ario with $2,850,000. The program has operated each year as an interim measure to encourage private clubs to develop trail systems in their areas. For further information on trails in the area please contact the Lindsay District office. FISHING SEASON Anglers are reminded that the fishing season inDivision 6,including the Kawartha Lakes, closes on November 30th this year. No angling is permitted in these waters until the last Saturday in April. This closing date does not apply to Lake Scugog or designated Lake Ontario tributary streams having ex- tended trout seasons. On Lake Scugog, the fishing season for yellow pickerel will remain open untif March 15,1982; CHRISTMAS TREE As Christmas approaches, we all start preparing for the celebration of our most trad- itional of family holidays. The basic adornment of this festive season is the Christ- mas tree. Like everything else, the cost of purchasing a Christ- mas tree has increased sub- stantially over the last few years. Unfortunately, many families or. individuals have tried to sidestep this expense by taking a drive out in the country and simply "taking" one for themselves, whether it be from private or Crown land. The implications of such an act can be quite serious. First of all, taking something without permission is theft. Secondly, as most of the Lindsay District is private land, charges of trespassing could also be laid. In add- tion, most conscientious Christmas tree growers chemically treat their pine and spruce stumps after cut- ting to prevent the outbreak and spread of a root disease, Fomes annosus. To cut a tree without authorization can be much more serious to a forest owner than the loss of a single tree. Wise management of 'our forest resources, including Christmas trees, ensures a plentiful supply for the fut- ure. For more information contact: 571-3211 Winter Trails Program - R.

Scugog Island news By Mrs. Earl Reader The corner at Highway 7A and Regional Rd. 7 from the main Island Road is well lit up at night now with the additional pole lights at the new Baptist Church. On Wed., evening all the "Head" UCW members but two enjoyed a Mystery Sister supper at the Community Hall when the "Grace' UCW served a delicious meal. After an exchange of gifts and the disclosure of the years mysteries, serveral comedienne members prov- ed hilarious entertainment for the rest in skits and songs. Many thanks to all who planned the evening and did decorating and provided * favours. Now we are headed for another year of fun and mystery. This coming Sunday will be a busy one at the Island Church. -At the regular morning service, the Sunday school will present a White Gift ceremony when wrapp- ed gifts will be presented by the children for Christmas distribution. We know the adults would like to get in on special gifts too, so this has been arranged. Our Mission and Service giving are low according to our allotted objective, therefore special M&S envelopes will be found in the pews for your conven- ience. In the regular weekly envelopes, some people do not put in donations on the M&S side. In making a comparison with the other part of the Pastoral Charge, Manchester seems to have no difficulty in exceeding their one-third share. So: please be prepared to bring ours up. i ) Now to finish the details for next Sunday. Everyone will go back to the Island Church again at night for the Christmas Variety Concert presented by the Island Choir and Friends at 8 p.m. There: will be a free-will offering in appreciation. After the program there will be a social hour and lunch. Those who have attended before know what an enjoy- able evening this can be. Okay tell your friends and encourage them to come and support those who work so hard for our pleasure. For those who are interest- ed in New Years Eve dance we hear it is time to your plans and reservations. You might consider the Island Community Hall where there are still a limited number of tickets available. For information please call Mrs. Pat Gracey 985-2634. We thank all those who responded to the request to leave gifts of money dona- tions at an assigned place for the recently married seven young people. Xmas gifts needed Christmas is fast approa- ching, and we at Whitby Psychiatric Hospital are getting into full swing to make it a special holiday season. We would like to ask that in your Christmas preparations, you keep in mind the people who will spend the festive season in a psychiatric hospital or rehabilitative centre, such as an approved home or home for special care. New items or cash dona- tions are always apprec- iated. Please do not wrap the gifts as each patient receives several packages carefully selected by nursing . staff familiar with the patient's preferences. When you select a gift, just choose a small item which a man or woman you know would enjoy. Gifts can be left at the Administration Building Switchboard or Volunteer Association Office at Whitby Psychiatric Hospital.
