McCallum said during the second day of the boards hearing into the annex ation application Mr McCallum shocked lawyers and spectators at the hearing Friday when he an nounced that the city no longer is seeking to annex land from Oro Township The city had applied for an nexation of 2100 acres from Oro along with 13500 acres from innisfil Township and 4600 acres from Vespra Town ship The decision

annexation in so far as it applies to the township ofOro Mr McCallum said the city is not changing its formal ap plication but will present no evidence with respect to the proposed annexation from Oro DENSITY Mr McCallum told the board the inchthick Proctor and Red fern report on which the city based its original application used density of 15 per acre in calculating the amount of residential land needed The density figure is the same as that used in the citys current official plan However he said consultant Bacon coauthor of the report personally believes density of 20 per acre should be used and city council voted Thursday to accept his opinion and revise the report ac cordingly Financial calculations sup porting the citys application will also have to be revised The annexation bid is aimed at enlarging the citys boun daries sufficiently to ac commodate population of 125000 by the year 2011 the figure called for by theSimcoe Georgian Area Task Force Report earlier this year The

stripped from service clubs Dick llryan thinks service clubs should get into politics The Akron Ohio resident past president of Lions In ternational was speaking to the Barrie Lions Club Friday night on the occasion of its 45th anniversary Rotary Kiwanis lionsall service clubswarc placed un der this umbrella of non political he told about 300 Lions and guests For that reason they refuse to get in volved in the issues of the com munity think this term non political has to be redefined The intention of the founders was not to keep service clubs from getting into community problems We must meet the challenge of changing community said Mr Brvan and we must ask ourselves if the solutions we used for the past 45 years will work for the next 45 years Mr Bryan compared the world to village of 1000 people He said that if the people of that village re resen ted the people of the wor only 45 of them would be from North America 80 would be card carrying Communists and 324 would be under Community domination North America with the highest standard of living until now has the least represen tation he said And you know of those 1000 people 167 would die of malnutrition DO IT NOW am concerned about fish is more likely the reason Mr Desjardins is member of ministry research team working out of Sibbald Provin cial Park near Sutton Resear chers he said have found the old outnumber the young in the whitetish population It is difficult to determine where the problem originates he explained as the Whitefish dont normally leave their wning ground until they are ut five years old Further research will be car ried out this winter Whitefish may also be af fected the increasing number smelts and yellow perch appearing in the lake competing for food eh said Mr Desjardins said the ministry has mandate to con serve and protect Lake Simcoe particularly the sport fishing aspect Lake Simcoe attracts 15 per cent of the sport fishermen in Ontaraio seonc only to Georgian Bay he said One out of every three Toronto fishermen use the lake adding up to 65000 in the winter and 30000 in the summer For this reason lake trout stocking is the ministrys most visible program This year the ministry is introducing 60000 one and twoyearold fish to the lake up from 30000 It hopes to reach 100000 Stocking the lake not only im proves the sport fishing he said but the fish are clipped for identification and act as good barometers of the lakes en vironment The number of the ice huts on the lake has declined to 2000 in the 19708 from 4000 in the 1960s but the number of fishermen have increased with more favoring openice fishing The number of ice hut operators currently stands at 18 decline of 12 over the past four years Mr Desjardins passed no comment on the 65000 winter fishermen but silently showed series of slides illustratln the arbage debris and an goned ice huts left behind by the sportsmen Mr Desjardins also told the teachers LakeSimcoe is cross tomorrow believe now is time to stop and reevaluate this rapidly changing world of four billion people Mr Bryan gave brief history of Lionism He said the club was formed in 1917 when people representing 27 different service clubs met in Chicago He said two things came out of that meeting the name Lions and Melville Jones as the first resident The club first came international in 1921 when Windsor club was for med In conclusion he said think you should realize that club is made up of individuals and you should ask yourself What contribution have made as an individual You have no between cold and warm water lake Pollution and disruption of the lake come from faulty agriculture erosion domestic sewage industrial wastes and shallow water habitat destruc tion wharves and marinas Mr Desjardins said phos horus llution of the lake has eclin sincethe inception of sewage treatment regula tions of municipalities However he said there is in dication of mercury levels in pickerel is currently two times greater than the acceptable level for human consum tion He said the ministry oes not know where the mercury is coming from but believes it might eanatural source excuse for existence without becoming part of your com munity And you should remember what is known as Jones law You dont get very far unless you do something for somebody else The meetin which included dinner an dance was at tended by Lions from
