As, aS, Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, September 26, 1984 Terrace Bay Council... continued from page 1 $233,287.43, and for Hydro in the amount of $55,620.59. Council approved in principle the amend- ment of a zoning by-law to include "vehicle ag- ency"' in the list of per- mitted uses in the Gen- eral Industrial Zone, as recommended by the Planning Advisory Com- mittee. The changing of the by-law will allow a car dealership to open in Terrace Bay. Councillor George Ramsay was authorized to attend the Zone 1, Municipal Police Auth- orities meeting in Atiko- kan, September 12 and 13. Councillor Ollie Chap- man has been working on the organization of a "Dialogue on Drinking Committee". A report will be forthcoming fol- lowing their initial meet- ing. ' There is concern among council members regarding traffic con- trol problems at Terrace Heights Drive and Hud- son at Simcoe, however ho action was taken to improve the situation. There will be a com- mittee meeting held in. the near future regard- ing sidewalk snow remo- val in front of Simcoe Plaza stores. There is some question as to who is responsible. Mrs. Chapman is con- cerned about the num- ber of small businesses operating .out of peo- ple's homes. It was sug- gested that they be lic- enced. All councillors _pre- sent were committed to the allotment of $3000 for the improvements to St. Martin School play- field being carried over to 1985, however, a re- serve fund was not thought to be -neces- sary. It was decided that canopy lighting on Sim: coe Plaza will continue to be paid for by the municipality and extend to include the new build- ings. Councillor Houston has almost completed the formation of a com- mittee to report on the feasibility of the de- velopment of the Agua- sabon Gorge. The next regular meeting of coun- cil will take place Tuesday, October 9 at 7:00 p.m. in the Coun- cil Chambers. _ A Look Back by MARY HUBELIT It's almost the end of - September - how many of us have been watch- ing anxiously as tem- peratures sag at sun- down? How many have checked the thermo- meter during the night? Now really, did you hon- estly think you would bundle up at 3:00 a.m. and go throw a blanket over your food or flow- ers? Well, you had the right spirit anyway! An analysis of Sep- tember weather condi- tions for the 20-year period 1960-80 indicates we have reason to be apprehensive - only three of those years were frost - and/or snow-free: 1963, 1967 and 1977. Frost struck overnight from the 1st to the 30th of the month, but snow occurred only in the last week, in all the other years. 1974 September was a real howler! Frost on the Ist, thunderstorms on the 10th, ice storms on the 20th, 22nd and 23rd; another _ thunderstorm attacked (with power outage) on the 28th, and we had snow on the 30th. The sun was seen only ten of those rowdy thirty days, and the mean temperature was 12 deg. C. September 1984 is be- having nicely so far. Perhaps we should approach October in a spirit of resignation and humility - we chose to live here, didn't we? Then we must try to ac- - cept bravely the chilling effort of old earth's seasonal toggling away from the sun. 1963 and Ag 7 talk directly to sewing machine, Mr. Stanchuk. available.

It is to forest production what agriculture is to food production. Through silviculture, Canada's forests can be made healthier and more produc- tive than ever before to meet the challenge of rising world demand for forest products. The forestry challenge is one of the most important we face, both as a nation and as an industry which harvests the- forest crop. Industry, governments and all Canadians recognize the immense potential of a well-managed renewable resource, and its contribution to the economic and social well-being of Last year, governments and industry spent $250 million on maintaining and improving Canada's forests. About 500 million seedlings were grown in nurseries for the next forest crop - nearly twice as many as five years ago. More is needed and more will be invested to meet the forestry challenge. Silviculture means not only estab- lishing a new forest, but also tending and protecting mature stands. In competing with man for wood, insects, fire, and disease destroy much useful wood fibre. Fire protective measures and the judi- cious use of other silvicultural tools, such as pesticides, cut these losses. Today and for future generations of Canadians, silviculture is the cornerstone on which to build.
