This celebration took place at Springwater Provincial Park and Hendrie Forest. The County of Simcoe can be justly proud of the Agreement Forest. It is at present the largest in Ontario. It is perhaps no coincidence then that the County of Simcoe has been named 'The Forest Capital of Canada for 1982"'. May 8, 1922 was the start of the first Agreement Forest in Ontario. The County of Simcoe had just bought a 1,000-acre tract of land that later became known as Hendrie Forest and a co-Operative reclamation of these wastelands began. The original 1,000 acres purchased by the County of Simcoe back in 1922 have been expanded through purchases to more than 26,000 acres which are now placed under agreement with the Minister of Natural Resourses. Financial encouragement to private landowners to reforest their lands was provided by the County of Simcoe from 1912 to the 1930s. Because of local interest, a trial private land planting assistnace program was carried out by the Province in four of Simcoe's townships in 1964 and 1965. This trial program was followed by im- plementation of the Province's Woodlands Improvement Act Assistance Program in the County in 1966. Since 1905, private landowners have planted more than 45 million trees and in the past 15 years, another 33,000 acres or more of private lands have been managed under the Woodlands Improvement Act. Port MeNicoll Senior Citizens Club held their monthly Euchre Party on April 29 at the Port Legion. There were 16 tables of euchre players. Clifford Ward held the highest score at the end of the evening with his total of 75 points. Rita MacMillan had the highest ladies' score with her 74 points. Frances Whale held the ladies' second high with her 71 points while George Rumney won the men's second high with his score of 70. The two lows went to Edna French and Glendeau Achinson and they carried home the booby prizes. Leonard Maheu won the prize for the most lone hands with his total of 6. Winners of the 50-50 draw were Mrs. McCormick, Mr. Harrison and Roy Head. A lovely lunch rounded off the evening's card playing. On Friday, April 30 more than 90 youngsters attended the Teen Dance at the Community Centre which is sponsored by the Port McNicoll Recreation board. The kids (12-17) were well behaved and had a good time. Spot dances were won by Ted Black and Chris King, Chris King (a second time) and Terry Contois. Ian Barr won the door prize. Special thanks are extended to the chaperones Barbara Young, Doreen LeClair and Cheryl and Frank Kelly who so kindly came out to supervise the Teen Dance. The next Teen Dance will be held on May 14th. The Recreation Board have also planned an Adult Dance for May 15. Though at- tendance isn't always high at these gatherings, the people who do go really know how to enjoy themselves. E.S.P. will be on hand that night to supply the live entertainment so do try to keep this date open. The Area 3 Public Speaking Contest was held at Regent Public School on Tuesday, April 27. A Port MeNicoll student, Bruce Busch, won second place. Bruce's topic was "'Big Foot"' and for his second place win, received a_ book. Congratulations, Bruce! Village Council met with about 100 residents from Paradise Point on Saturday afternoon at the Community Centre. The residents were concerned about by- law 691 which prohibits any further building in their area because of the problem with the septic system there. The meeting was a friendly one and very informative. The residents and Council members were pleased to have all un- derstandings cleared up to everyone's satisfaction. Sacred Heart Church, Port MeNicoll was full at the 10 o'clock Mass on Sunday, May 2nd as relatives and friends attended First Communion Mass for eight children. The youngsters to receive the Blessed Sacrament of Holy Eucharist were Ber- nadette Chretien, Christopher Burns, Wayne Thompson, Dana King, Steven Lalonde, Paula Moreau, Deidre Henne, Barret Smith and Sarah Belfry. The C.W.L. of Sacred Heart Church presented the children with small gifts to mark this special occasion in their lives. Victoria Harbour by Mrs. M.
