ce OS gOS ~ Soa RRI oe pen ee ees ~~ we Arbour Day planting Last Friday was Arbour Day. Monsignor Castex Public School students planted a flowering crabi in front of their school. Among them were Grade 3 students Shawn Mar- childon and Charlie Lesperance. The school students also picked up garbage in the area, as their contribution to Pitch-In Day. Penetang water draws customers On hot days, a familiar sight in Penetang is car loads of people lining up to fill their water bottles with fresh clean water from the town's artisian well. Located at the corners of Robert Street and Champlain Road, the well in operation since 1922 provides cot- tagers and local towns folk with the purest water in Canada. Penetang Water and Light Commissioner, Ernest Lalonde says the water is so pure because of large sand deposits the water flows through on its way into Pen- tang Bay. As a result the water is tested each Monday for chloroform and bacteria always comes back negative. The commissioner says the well is a cheap source. of clean water because it does not cost the town money to pump it to the surface. Natural pressure forces the water to rise 200 feet from bedrock to ground level. The pressure is caused by the water's movement from higher to lower ground as it travels from the surrounding hills to the bay. Lalonde says the pressure is strong enough to push the water 15 feet in- to the air if the well were left uncapped. Lalonde says many cot- tagers prefer the water out of thé Penetang well over their own shallow wells because they know they are getting the best in water quality. Four years ago the town undertook an extensive renovation of the well: The old gravel parking lot which was often full of mud- dy pot holes was paved and a new reservoir and filling station was installed. Lalonde says this was done to spruce-up the area and make it more attractive to Modellers meet Radio Controlled Model Aircraft, cars and boats will be holding their regular meeting in the Centennial Arena Boardroom in Midland tonight at 7:30 p.m. Aircraft and cars will be on display. tourists, as well as making it more sanitary and easier to maintain. The old gravel parking lot had to be refilled often and the filling station was beginning to show signs of algae growth. During the summer Lalonde estimates thousands of visitors to Pentang will stop to refresh themselves or fill their water tanks on the way out to the cottage. Drop by yourself sometime. It is well worth it. Sue <p ab fj Peruvian Russell Clarke is going to Peru this fall, to live ona farm on the western slope of the Andes Mountains. The Carleton University political science and law student, age 19, expects to live and work from September to December with a farm family living east of Lima. The family probably grows potatoes, he believes. This trip is through the auspices of Canada World Youth, -a non-profit Off to Peru organization sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency. Clarke has been abroad before on an exchange pro- gram. Through a Rotary In- ternational program, he went to Thailand.

He will have ample opportunity to practice before he goes to Peru. June through September in On- tario he will be working on a farm with Peruvians here on the Canadian end of the exchange. Clarke's understanding is that the farm he is going to in Peru is a couple of hours walk from the fields. Since the area to which he is going is on the side of the Andes, the elevation will be higher than that to which he is us- ed to.
