Each day we use dozens of dispensable articles, such as disposable,diapers, paper towels and kleenex, paper plates, plastic knives, forks - and spoons, disposable, razor blades, shoe polish applicators and ink car- tridges in pens, We use them once and then discard them. No wonder our trash cans fill so rapidly. Man encases his products in plastic and cardboard. For example, we buy two batteries for a transistor radio. Each cell measures about three inches long and one inch in diameter, They are mounted on a piece of cardboard approximately four inches by six inches. Plastic covers the batteries fastening them securely to the cardboard. How we pry on that tough plastic' When we finally loosen the batteries, what happens to the plastic and the cardboard? We hurl them into the garbage bag. Notice the number of items, that are similarly packaged, in department stores. Super- markets and drugstores. Lipstick tubes, eyebrow pencils, razor blades, pens and pencils are only a few examples. Some tubes of shampoo are enclosed in boxes twice their size. Man also envelopes his food in foil, cellophane and cardboard. When we unwrap the meat, vegetables arid fruit, where do the containers go? They fall into the garbage pail. Do we consumers really want this elaborate packaging? Would we settle for less foil, cellophane and cardboard, if we were assured of lower prices? In an effort to lower the cost of living, would we supply our own bags and boxes in which to carry our groceries home? Perhaps the packers aren't totally to blame. Some of we consumers have become pam- pered, and we are reluctant to sacrifice those extras. In the western world, man thoughtlessly displays his wasteful tendency. An average Canadian or American discards more food each day than a starving African eats in one week. We take for granted our good fortune. Have'we lost the' ability to discern worthlessnes from practicability? What is the destination of our daily tons of trash? If we're lucky the refuse ends up in sanitary landfill sites, better known as dumps. Acres of farm land have been sentenced to receive our gar- Octes R2 Mrs. Ada Smillie, Queensway Nursing Home, Hensall, 90 on Thursday, February 20. bage. On certain days, pungent smoke indicates the location of area dumps. Much of our refuse becomes sidetracked; for some reason, it doesn't reach its designated burial plot. Instead it lands in alleys, gutters, ditches, fence bottoms and gorges. Our cities, towns and countrysides are lit- tered with papers, tin cans and cartons. Wherever man travels, he leaves a trail of candy wrappers, apple cores, bottles and cigarette butts. Evidence of our throw- away society abounds. Besides garbage, what else has modern man thrown away? We have discarded open fields, unlittered landscapes, fresh air, rushing rivers, sandy beaches, and clear lakes. To satisfy our wasteful whims, we sacrificed much. Now we suffer the consequences of man's throw-away society, !vas ,tegagn,„VigEi • •••••••••••'''''''''"••••"' "' The January birthday party was held in Huronview Nursing Home auditorium, and owing to weather conditions the lunch and gifts were provided by the Blyth Women's Institute and the program and party by the Huronview staff.
