Twenty years from now, crops growing on recycled garbage will be an everyday sight. That's pretty hard to imagine right now because most of us think of garbage as just that-garbage. But in fact, it's a potential resource. And the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is harnessing it. How does it happen? By recycling. Garbage will be taken to recycling centres where it will be shredded, separated, and some of it, turned into fertile soil to re- vitalize barren areas of the province. The same basic shredding and separating process will also produce fuel, paper, cardboard, metals. And we've just begun to explore the possible end uses of garbage. Landfill Retyclable materials Fuet ticipants. It's $12.00 a couple and this includes green fees plus the steak dinner. On Sunday, August 10 com- mencing at 1:00 p.m. we will be hosting our annual members children's picnic at Roy (Hillybilly) Hodgins farm. Don't forget, mom and dad - this is a big day for our children - so be sure to bring them. If transportation is a problem I am sure there will be ample to look after your needs if you will let our duty steward know. Here's something new and should prove to be lots of fun. On Saturday August 23 between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Branch 540 will be holding their very first amateur night and everyone is welcome. Anyone having any talent whatever, singing, dancing, telling stories are cordially invited to par- ticipate. Popular Tom Noyes will also be along to assist. Incidentally there will be prizes for those judged to be the win- ners. Give it a try -if the response is good - it is intended to make this a regular portion of our entertainment.

Separation of light and heavy material The ail Ontario Irma C'ompony Ilegun ur /8,'9 south eastern Ontario. In 15 years there will be recycling centres all across the province to handle 90 per cent of Ontario's garbage -everything from abandoned cars to organic waste. Why recycle? Because the people of Ontario -all of us-'pile up garbage at three times the rate that the population increases. The Ministry is working on ways to reduce that amount, but we'll always have garbage. And we're having trouble finding places to put it and the landfill to cover it. Once garbage is being recycled, those problems will be over But more important than the dumping problems, we're literally throwing .‘ away valuable resources with every ton of garbage we discard. In a community of 100,000, garbage recycling will conserve the equivalent of up to 3,500,000 gallons of fuel oil a year, 3,600 tons of reclaimed steel, 4,500 tons of glass, Our recycling program is considered one of the most advanced in the world, It's a ), commitment to a different way of living.
