The annual meeting of the Blyth

Tuesday’s storm last week and had
to be cancelled. The meeting will
now be held January 6.
Mr. and Mrs. Ken Chambers,
and Nina Sykes of the Rammeloo
Rest Home accompanied Mrs.
Jackie Rocho of Seaforth to
Cambridge and to Simcoe to see
the lights.
Blyth council endorsed a resolu-
tionatitsDec. 15 meeting last week
which calls on the province to
curtail the useof bio-unfriendly
materials such as fast food styro
foam packages.
The resolution, circulated by the
township of Peel at Drayton, points
out that the use of foam containers
has not diminished despite the
increasing evidence of their detri
mental environmental consequen
ces and that disposal “of these
burgeoning mountains of waste is
threatening to contaminate our air,
soil and waters.”
It calls on the Premier of Ontario
to enact legislation without delay,
that “would limit, curtail and in
some instances, prohibit the man
ufacture, use and distribution of
bio-unfriendly materials.” It also
calls on the province to use
taxation, negative taxation, subsi
dies or other incentives to encour
age areduction in the volume of
domestic, commercial and indus
trial waste.
Municipalities across the pro
vince often circulate resolutions to
other municipalities on various
subjects but these usually get short
shift with the Blyth council. This
one, however, got unanimous
support. “It’s a good resolution,
councillor Bill Manning said. If the
use of such containers can be
stopped, he said, itwill save the life
of the landfill site. “The govern
ment is probably the only one that
can do it,” he said.
I agree with it, ’ ’ councillor Lloyd
lo one and all
go our hopes for
peace on earth and
joy in your hearts.
