Consider investing it in your future. For example, you may elect to start a new mutual fund savings program. With $500 you can open a new mutual fund account investing in U.S or International emerging growth stocks. Or you could contribute to your 1994 RRSP to generate another refund. Or you could open a Registered Educational Savings Plan to fund your children's education. I'd be happy to review these options with you.

Pro -choice group says insert full of inaccuracies TORONTO - A pro -choice group has denounced a publication called "She's a Child, Not a Choice" as being full of factual errors and misleading information. Planned Parenthood said the I 2 -page supplement to many Ontario newspapers, including its insertion in the Times -Advocate by Strat- ford and District Right to Life, alleges a link between abortion and breast cancer, and blames incest and rape victims for their own sit- uations. Although cancer researchers generally agree a full-term pregnancy before age 30 offers some protection against breast cancer, Planned Parenthood says research into links between abortion and breast can- cer "has reached no consensus on this issue". A study published in the British Medical Journal followed 49,000 Swedish wom-n for 20 years, and found no overall increased risk of breast cancer for those who had abortions. Planned Parenthood also said the supplement condemns girls and women who become pregnant because of rape or incest, saying that incest survivors who choose abortion are accused of silencing the in- cest, and rape victims who have abortions continue the violence of the rape. "To use the awful experience of incest survivors and rape victims to further the anti -choice position is cruel and callous," said Cath- leen Kneen, executive coordinator the Assaulted Women's Helpline. Kaelc Jubas, Planned Parenthood's coordinator said the pro-life supplement has a lack of current scientific references and needs to be examined critically. "Planned Parenthood Ontario secs this material as a thirty dis- guised attempt to manipulate women by encouraging feelings of fear and guilt," said Jubas. "It would take another I2 -page publication to refute all of the false claims and utterly ludicrous assumptions con- tained here." An Open Invitation Paul Klopp MPP for Huron is pleased to announce that THE HONOURABLE RUTH GRIER, MINISTER OF HEALTH will be holding a reception to announce the HURON -PERTH DISTRICT HEALTH COUNCIL Friday, June 10, 1994 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Seaforth Legion Hall 4 Recycling expansion creates jobs Thousands of households will utilize new Huron Park facility By Erin Lobb T -A staff HURON PARK - The Bluewater Recycling Association, (BRA), which provides waste reduction ser- vices to more than 45 municipal- ities has opened a new facility in the Huron Industrial Park. As result of the opening 10 new jobs are being created. "We have hired six new plant workers, one driver, and one operator. But, we are still looking for another driver and a plant worker," says Associa- tion president Francis Veilleux. "My constituents have made it very clear' that waste management is foremost on their minds," said Huron M.P.P. Paul Klopp at Sat- urday's grand opening. The new facility will handle over 5,000 tonnes of recyclable materi- als. However, at maximum capac- ity the Association is able to pro- cess 15,700 tonnes of recyclable materials per year, an average of 62 tonnes per day. Last year the old facility handled 2,419 tonnes of old newspaper alone. Presently the Association handles newspaper, aluminum cans, glass, and other recyclable materials. However, in the search beyond the blue box, programs for tires, used oils and paints, batteries, propane tanks, and Christmas trees have been implemented. The new plant is three times the size of the old location. The pro- cessing machinery has been re- designed to handle waste more ef- ficiently, by making products easier to store and ship. A new confer- ence centre and environmental re- source centre arc other highlights of the new building. The BRA is a non-profit associa- tion of municipalities. The re- sources and ideas, combined with other municipalities have combined assets of 1.5 million dollars. Their goals are not only to create and manage a structural approach to re- duction, but to also keep abreast of developments that will better meet the needs of participating people and businesses. The service area consists of 109,305 people, which includes 113 schools, 1,055 commercial lo- cations, industrial locations. These numbers do not include the over 6000 campsites and seasonal households. "It's more important than ever to recycle," said Paul Steckle, who ex- plained that waste in his office in Ottawa is also extensively recycled. Students put marketing skills to the test with displays EXETER - Anyone who has been walking on the Main Street of Exet- er over the past week has probably seen high school students busy set- ting up window displays at local businesses. The creative works are pan of a marketing assignment for the South Huron District High School stu- dents. While the students will be graded for their efforts by their marketing teacher, the students will also be judged for a competition put on be the BIA. "Each member of the winning team, will receive a certificate of achievement along with a silver pendant showing the school logo," said BIA representative Karen Brown. Two of the pendants were donat- ed by Anstett Jewellers and one by McDonald's. As well, four were provided by the BIA. Krista Schilbe on right and Amy Rader put together their marketing display at Stedman's. Playhouse had full house for tourism night GRAND BEND - A preview per- formance of Peter Pan opened up the Huron Country Playhouse for the summer season Friday evening. Formally entitled Tourism night, the performance was a sneak pre- view for arca businesses and part- ners of tourism to see what the theatre had to offer. "It was to give them an opportunity to speak first hand about our facili- ties, and entertainment," said John McHenry, Public Relations director for the theatre. The evening was also a first chance for the theatre to show off the completed renovations. The air-conditioning, special effects, acoustics, and set have all been ren- ovated to make the show a better experience. The line-up this summer features not only Peter Pan, but Lend Me a Tenor, Deathtrap, Not Now Dar- ling, and Oklahoma. Special features are also being of- fered for music lovers and children. The closing evening will be an awards benefit concert put on by members of the 1994 company. All tickets are available through the box office, or by calling 238- 6000.
