worms ALLISTON Staff Farmers have beeti warned to be on the lookout for ar myworms by the South Sini coe agricultural office Southwestern Ontario areas have been plagued with severe infestations and they could spread to this county The best time to check field is in the early evening since they hide under clods or plaiit debris during the day These are dark brown greeii caterpillars marked with five long strips from head to tail it was ex plaincd If there are five or six caterpillars per square foot when you check you might consider spraying Once they are at inch and half long they will do little damage its the small ones to get concerned about Since they move from field to field like an army you can spray around the borders to protect afield Sevin Malathioti and Methoxychlor were all recotnmeded for control Where practical aircraft spraying is often the most practical way to combat this pest the agriclutural message advised ROI MEETING MIDHURST Staff North Simcoe Soil and Crop ini

taking place across the province are simply mat ter of safety It is easy enough to say that the roof looks per fectly safe or to claim that we always feel secure when we are iii our local arena but it really is imposSible for us to tell just what condition the building is in As Labour Minister Dr Bette Stephenson said the Ontario Government is not about to risk the lives of innocent people iii order to keep some unsafe arenas open The Liberals or the other hand are openly defying the provincial safety standards and claiming that they would be willing to be held responsible if we leave the arenas open and something happens so says the Liberal Mll for Prey Dr Stephenson tOIIlliltllltd have never heard such cavalier attitude towards public safety iii all my lile It takes qualified engineers to professionally inspect the arenas The trouble is many arenas budt more than ten years ago follow ed design made for the almost snouless conditions of South iarolma This design was made before engineers learned about technology that takes into account uniform and nonuniform snow loads In the past teii yeah we have learned about the three main forces that affect an arena its own dead weight snow loads and the wind and designs have been adjusted accordingly Thats why the prOVlnClai government has undertaken to professuinally inspect sine 350 arenas in the province They Just may not be safe And the only thing to do under the cir cumstances is to close them down until the necessary rcpairs have been made Although the Opposition is complaining about the lack of advance notice given for some of the closings the fact of the matter is municipalities have been warned for seven years that arenas not meeti the prescribed safety stan ards would be closed Of course the government never anticipated that there would be so many arenas found to be substandard and we are ready to help municipalities repair their facilities The Minister of Culture and Recreation Bob Welch an nounced in the House that up to half the costs of necessary repairs will be paid by the Oti tario government The offer seems to me to be quite help The government at an an 13mYTs 5m 5214 Tat will pay 25 per cent of repairs up to 375000 and further 25 per cent in matching grant to communities which manage to raise up to 25 per cent of the cost This will come frotn Win tario funds As inconvenient as it may seem think that we should all put safety fist and buckle down to ensuring that our arenas are ready for use as soon as possible 21th Eiilh nd The Downtown Berri ODresses miTShirfs Commencing Monday June
