farmers that their welts have been low ered as water consumption in the two municipalities has in creased with their growth The organization of a conser vation authority was first sug gested by A Richardson chief conservation engineer of the de partment some time ago at a meeting of the Aurora Board of Trade At first it was proposed that every municipality which touched on the Holland Valley be included but this proved an unwieldy arrangement Several meetings were called in the in tervening months but lack of quorum prevented any action from being taken More recently it was proposed that the suggested authority be reduced to those municipalities with an immediate interest in the Holland Valley A conservation authority is financed in part by grants from the government in part by a share of cost from each munici pality An authority is concern ed with every phase of conser vation from the building of dams and Aurora face potential and such large works to water shortages in the

be helping Col I Why Not Pool For Newmarket What about a swimming- pool for Newmarket Isnt it about time we had one In a sidewalk conversation this week a local builder suggested that a swimming pool could be built quite cheaply by using cement blocks plugging them with cement and waterproofing their surface The blocks could be laid by volunteers he points out and with enough the job wouldnt take long We dont know how practical the suggestion is but we do know that if enough people in Newmarket want a swimming pool there are the resources and the volunteers to make it possible All that is required is a group to start the project At the present time the Lions club is sending the children from its supervised playground to a near by lake for weekly swims How simpler it would be to have our own pool There is more to the suggestion than providing recreation Think of how many Canadians drown each year because they cant swim or arent sufficiently used to water to know how to act in it Every child should know how to swim Its knowledge they all need at one time or another They should be able to learn to swim at home under proper supervision They can if we build a pool And that pool can be built if some one or group will head up the project Newmarkets tackled bigger jobs than that Weve a topnotch artificial rink Were getting a floodlit ball diamond We can have the swim ming pool the same way if we want to and who doesnt want to when we all know how important it is to know how to swim So about how about it Whether concreto blocks or by some other way a pool can be build simply and cheaply if we all pitch in All that is needed is a start ft X A HUMANE SOCIETY TRUCK KEPT BUSY INTEREST INCREASES The new truck of the North York Humane Society has been kept busy since its
