ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH
EARWIGS ?
OPNOTCH
Sir:
I was wondering if you could see your
way clear to give us first, a few minutes .•
of your time to read my letter and secondly,
if you 'consider it Worthwhile, space in your
paper so that the general public can pursue
it and think about it; then take some action
to bring the problem to a successful con- '
elusion. MY story starts_yvith the saying
-that we often hear in the spring just when
the snow has left "Isn't • everything so
It-sure,will-be-nice,w,hen_the_grass_
starts to grow and greens up, and we, get'
the spring rains to wash things 'dOwn."
well.the spring rains come, and the grass
grows and greens, but there are some
articles that the rains cannot wash away --
or the grass doesn't grow tall enough to
cover it and that is the litter that is so
carelessly thrown or placed along our •
highways, picnic or park lands. Even if
the grass .does 'Manage to cover it, there
are people 'who keep -adding to the litter
' year round.
The Highway Traffic Act states that
"Every person who throws or deposites
or causes to be deposited any glass,
' malls, tacks or scraps of metal or any
rubbish, reuse, waste or litter upon,
along or adjacent to, the highway, 'except
in receptacles provided for the purpose,
is guilty of the offence of litterit, on the
highway." If a person is convicted of
this offence, a sizeable fine can be im-
poSed by the courts.
A police officer can never be every-
where, so it is up to the public to help
their nlice force because a poliCe force
is only as good as the co-operation they
receive from the public. A policeman is
an employee of the public, but like an
emPloyee, he must have the equipment to
do the job and in his case, the more ,
information he can receive, the better
the job can be 'done. In this case, we
' are not asking the public for information,
but rather that they, police themselves
and the members of their families. It's
true that one little cigarette butt, one
_facial. • iLssue.,orke one. ,ice
cream wrapper, just to mention a few
• articles, doesn't cover much area, but
wow! -- If. everybody that uses our
highWays or parks dropped one little
article what a mess it would be. If
anyone cares to disagree with me, just
stop and look around and ask the Ministry
.of Transportation & Communications, ,or
the Ministries of. Natural Reaburces and
'Industry and Tourism how much garhage
they collect and what it costs to pick up
after the litter bugs have been there.
• People have always wanted to save
money; well .here is a case where we can
save millions. „Sure the government pays
for it, but •doesn't it come from your par
cheques? and we can avoid paying fines.
Who knows, if we all get on the band.
wagon and stop littering, 'the government
might ; just have •the money to. complete
that worthwhile project your community
wants and you might have a few extra
dollars for your own personal project.

Electronic data processing
has opened up new avenues in
the collection, storing and sorting
of farm information. Many of. the
old record systems can now be
replaced by more comprehensive
and' versatile information sys-
tems designed to describe the
economic condition of the farm
business, diagnose the problem

to contribute to the management
information needs of individual
farmers by assisting them to-
maintain a good set of financial
and phySipal records of their
own farming operations.
In response to economic pres-
sures, many farmers have begun
to search out and use some of
the more modern farm manage-
ment practices. To assist them,
farm management advisory pro-
grams have been Included in the
extension services provided by
the Ontario Department of Agri-

tion of lea cost rations, dash

credit agencies working with
farmers have introduced finan-
