The services provided at the three offices would be transferred to the nearest remaining office. By the end of next March, the province hopes to reduce staff in its regional offices by about -10 people, to 300. Six other regional offices will remain open.

The Liberal Party has called for a deposit on soft drink cans in order to en - Courage the retUrn of these containers and thereby eliminate much of the litter problem. Other alternatives will also be oonuidered, such as a combination deposit and tax, or an outright ban on pop cans. Alberta has a five -cent depomit on cans, of which two cents gd to -the consumer returning the empties and three cents go to the provincial government to help pay for a depot collection system.

Firm to reorganize' �� '�� Bendix Home 8ystemoo, Inc., a manufacturer of mobile and modular homes and recreational vehicles, announced last week a reorganization of its Nortb American operations Leonard P. Ferris, president, said the company's administrative headquarters will remain in Adunta, but the Q.S. headquarters for manufactured home operations will be moved from ' there to Riveroide. California, and the operations headquarters for recreational vehicles will be relocated yroqo Atlanta to Marlette, Michigan. He also announced that in Canada, Bendix Home Systems, Ltd. will move its headquarters for manufactured housing. operations from London to BcnyuU.und will consolidate its recreational vehicle headquarters with the D.S. R.V:,divioionin Marlette. Salaried employees whose offices are moving are being interviewed about tran- sferring, Ferris said, and many have already decided to stay with theb'jobo at the new locations. The purpose of the roocganizmdon. Ferris said, is to ''shift both product lines and facilities to markets where we see more active growth. Trends in the cost of conventional construction indicate that manufactured housing is an affordable alternative that more people will be considering in the period ahead. Our reorganization moves will position Bendix' Home Systems to meet the in- creased demand in this sector of the housing rnarket." �� George � ��N�8� � m�m ��m LIFE, Aim), FIRE ANDALL OTHER LINES ° " ' � w �� NNU� �N�� U��N0�0��N�V�� m�mn��p��^� GODERICH 1244411 314 HURON ROAD
