Gauthier Clerk-Treasurer Invest With A Winner If you're currently a marine dealer or thinking of becoming one, you owe it to yourself to con- sider the retail opportunities available with Mariner Outboards. ae | Proven Growth Record: Mariner is a division of the Brunswick Corp., one of the world's fore- most manufacturers of recreational products. We didn't sell our first motor in the U.S. until 1976, yet we're already one of the top four brands in a retail marine business that totals over $8 billion annually. Of course the impressive level of growth that Mariner has ex- perienced thus far hasn't happened by accident. It took an aggressive group of marine dealers backed by a Mariner blueprint for growth. Products That Perform: Mariner Outboards have a reputation for reliability. After you sell them, they don't come back. We offer a complete line of outboard power options from 2 thru 200 horsepower, plus six electric models. Support Programs That Work: We take care of our dealers. We support them with financial assistance, sales incentives, local co-op and national advertising programs. They're simple, straightforward programs, directed toward bolstering the "bottom line" for Mariner dealers. Dealers Who Make Money: We understand that profitable dealers are the key to our growth. And we're firmly committed to developing a network of strong, independent dealers who are properly spaced. So they'll compete for sales with other brands, instead of each other. Opportunity Is Knocking. Are You Listening? Our dealer organization is growing rapidly, but we still need representa- tion in a number of areas. So there may be an opportunity for you to share in our growth and success. To find out, call XN) MIAIRIRER ©. 20x 298+ mississauca, { OUTBOARDS ONT. L5A 3A3 « (416) 270-8287 S A BRUNSWICK COMPANY By Conrad Felber Cochrane-Superior MP Keith Penner, in a visit to Terrace Bay last week, said it is time for northern Ont- ario to be treated different- ly from the rest of the province. "We have to have some sort of breakthrough and have a policy just for north- ern Ontario," he explain- ed in an exclusive inter- view with the News on June 2. The problem is that there has always been a reluct- ance to deal with such a suggestion, especially at Queen's Park. "Our quality of life is not on a par with southern Ontario," he noted. '"'We need a series of breaks here throughout the tax system to make things a little more even."' A good first step; Penner said, was the so-called Rosehart Report, which was released on the same day as Penner's visit. The report, which was written by an Advisory Committee established by the Minister of Northern Developmént and Mines, includes 80 recommendat- ions, including one which calls for a reduction of gasoline prices in the north by five cents per litre. An- other recommendation urg- es the provincial govern- ment to give northern res- idents a $100 annual heat- ing tax credit. "We don't want to be too critical, but I would like to see more breaks like this," Penner said. "I do not think this would divide the province...we all just want to have a greater degree of fairness.' He said there have been some programs for North- erners already, like the RDP (Regional Develop- ment Program), but these, he added, have worked with mixed results. Gasoline prices in the northern half of Ontario is a special concern of his, he admitted. "It's still a problem," Penner said. "Aviation Minor Ball starting this Minor Ball The Minor Ball program goes into full swing this week in Schreiber. Prac- tices are being held on the diamonds at the two elem- entary schools. We could still use a few more coaches. If you are in- terested, please contact us at the Recreation Office at 824-2317. Ball Hockey . Mens Ball Hockey is finally underway with games being held every Tuesday and Thursday evening between 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. There are four teams participating again this year. Stop by the arena and catch the exciting action of Ball Hockey. Junior Ball Hockey The Recreation Depart- ment is offering Junior Ball Hockey for the first time this year. Games are played every Monday and Saturday starting at 7 p.m. Registrations are still being accepted for boys between the age of 13 and 16 years of age. Swim Program Swimming lessons will commence July 7 with two sessions running from Ju- ly 7 to July 25 and the se- cond from July 28 to August 15. Registration forms will be distributed through the schools next week. Canada Day Celebrations The big dance will be held on Saturday, June 28. The band will be "Black On White" who play all the top 40 hits. The Kinsmen are planning a very big family day at White Sand Lake on Tues- day, July 1. Everything will start at 10 a.m. This year they are adding two sets of canoe races. The first race will be a simple out and around the marker and back. Prizes have been donated by Spadoni's, Schreiber Foodmarket and Birch's. There is no limit and no entry fee for this race. The second race will be a relay race with two run- ning sections and a canoe- ing section. There must be at least one member of the opposite sex involved in the four member team. Entry is limited to 10 teams and a small fee will be charg- _ ed. The prize for this event is dinner for eight at the Rossport Inn. There will also be children's races and other attractions. Plan to attend and bring the whole family. Mixed Slow Pitch: Standings as of June 4 (Numbers stand for: games played, wins, loss- es, and points.)

He agreed that there has always been a gasoline price differential between northern and southern Ont- ario, but the gap seems to be growing. Penner approved the Rosehart Report's recom- mendation on gas prices, but felt even more can be~ done. "The province should also monitor gas prices to notice discrepancies be- tween here and the south," 'he said. "The dealers are not the culprits here...they have signed contracts with the oil companies and are locked into them."' week Dead Heads: 3- 2- 1- 4 Birch's: 4- 2- 2- 4 Odd Balls: 3- 1- 2- 2 Pays Plat: 3- 1- 2- 2 Recreation: 3- 1- 2- 2 Stray Cats: 3- 1- 2-2 Leftovers: 4- 1- 3- 2 A-Team: 2- 0- 2-2 Steel Wheels: 3- 0- 3-0 .

The damage caused by wildfires in On- tario's forests, however, extends far beyond number of trees lost. Fire causes social dis- ruption when it endangers a community. Disruption of commercial transporta- tion, highway, and rail and air service can be very ex- pensive. Destruction of vast scenic vistas can wipe out a local tourism industry that depends on healthy, green forest, sparkling lakes and rivers, abundant wildlife and fishing. The disruption of wood supplies to local mills can be a severe economic blow to a community. PHOTO PRINTS --.

Rainfall running over barren, scorched earth car- ries silt and ash into lakes and rivers, which may damage water quality and fish stocks. Wildfires also kill young trees--the forests of tomor- row. And the fires can change a forest of valuable timber into a forest of in- ferior "weed" trees. Re- peated fires can prevent a new forest from starting. We all know that with- out trees, we wouldn't have the paper and wood pro- ducts we use and depend on every day in the home and work place--products that range from facial tissue to furniture to newspapers. But consider some of these other products that also find their origins in the many tree species that grow in Ontario's forests: paints, lacquers, soaps, polishes, cleaning fluids, tanning materials, a wide range of chemical pro- ducts, charcoal, drugs, chewing gum, confections, firewood for the family fireplace or stove, wood alcohol, road building materials, and soil con- ditioners. There are also a wide ar- ray of wood products that form the basis for the many small businesses and in- dustries across Ontario that employ thousands. In addition to the com- mericial, recreational and ecological impacts, forest fires also result in major firefighting expenditures every year. Ontario is now continued on page 9 wove
