Twenty-eight Ontario high school students with an interest in conservation will spend seven weeks this summer learning and working in the field. The students, aged 16 to 18, have been chosen from across the province to take part in the Junior Conservationist Award Program, administered by the Conservation Authorities and Water Management Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. "I am delighted that we are able to give these young people a hands-on experience in conserva- tion," said Natural Resources Minister Vincent Kerrio. The program, which began on a small scale in 1966, is designed to increase appreciation of conser- vation and resource management issues through working and learn ing. The 28 students are divided into four groups of seven to par- ticipate in specific projects hosted by four conservation authorities. This year the conservation authorities involved in the pro- gram are Ganaraska Region, Sault Ste. Marie Region, Credit Valley and Lakehead Region. The students, selected by a panel of ministry officials, were sponsored by their high schools or by a conservation agency such as a nature club, fish and game association or 4-H club. The students receive a week of orientation early in July before breaking up into groups.

An excellent perfor- mance by all the various emer- gency agencies managed to sup- press this fire before serious.dam- age could occur. During the height of the fire, planned evacua- tion procedures were initiated. Residential dwellings adjacent to the fire were evacuated.

On June 19, the Sachigo Fire: Fire has reached half a mile from airport - no evacuation taken as et. § On May 14, in Valrita: Five hundred people were evacuated this day. Evacuation plans have been prepared for most cities, towns,villages, whether they be enacted by by-laws of Councils of Municipalities or plans co-ordi- nated by the Ministry of Natural Resources. It is the responsibility of this MInistry to advise Communities of the conditions regarding fire hazards during the fire season. Realistically, with the chang- ing of the weather, everyone should be constantly aware of the requirements of evacuation, whether it bea tornado, flood or a forest fire threat.
