Trustees Oppose Private School Funding Northumberland and Newcastle school trustees have joined in a eall opposing public fttnding for private schools. The N & N board took littîe time in supporting seven school boards in Metro Toronto in their bid to stop such funding. Bill Carman, Ward 3 trustees from the Town of Newcastle stated that private schools will get at least partial funiding. It was Carmanwo introduced the motion to support the objection of tbe Metro Boards. Carman pointed out that there were six private schools ini the samne area as the board's jurisdictioni and he said he would expect this would grow. Carmant said the province isn't funding public educa- tion to a sufficient level ai the present timie and to spread the funds even thinner is ludicrous. Carman said it was im- possible to judge just how fàýt the presenit 680 in the N&N board jurisdiction will grow in the future. 1984 110W termed 'A Seedy Year' Thomnas Farmner - Forest Technician Give or take a million, Linds;ay district collected 112,573,650 white spruce seeds during 1984.

Aswel 111 hcctolitres, of cones from w vhite pine, red pine, Norwýay>\1spruice and Euiropeani larch were col- lec[ed and sippiied to Angus for pracessing.- Tree seed was abundant duringL the 1984 season, enabling Lindsay ý,district sýtaff to reach or exceed manyv of their- seed collection targets.

Carried out at the Orono Nursery, White Spruce Seed Produc- tion Area, the collection will determine the actuial yield of seed cones per inidividual t ree. An area of this specially managed plantation was miarked off and each tree was mreasured for beigbt and diamieter, and the jnforma- tion recorded. Every seed cone was picked fromn the trees and the volum~es obtain-. ed were recorded separaiely for each tree. Notes on formi, site class, age and other characteristics were recorded for aIl trees. A one litre samn- pIe of conies fromn each tree will be used to determine seedl yield, germination percen- tages an-d other information, Such as the presence of insect or disease damiage. The numbfer of good conies per tree can beclgur,ýd out very accurately using these sampl- ing techniques. The information obtained fromt the project wilI be useful in forecasting future seed cirops and in determining how many hectares of seed production area are required 10 ensur-e an adequale and continual product ion of white spruce seed.
