From the generation which now fills the class- rooms of senior elementary and high school grades will come the men and women who will add their touch to the development of our community and provide influence on its direction. In, that youthful group of today are the politicians, professionals, volunteers and business people of tomorrow. Also included are those who are concerned only with becoming responsible citizens, but who, in reaching just that goal, find theyhave gone on to realize far more than the original modest but valued goal they had set. For those who now govern, develop and work toward creating healthy growth in our community it is comforting to see signs in- dicating that our future is almost guaranteed to be in safe, respon- sible hands That today's young opIe can and do follow a strong and responsible set -of vai'ues whic,'h wiII prepare them for the rigors of ckdi* un1ty. d_eveloprnent tomorrow. Helping• , thie, of course, are the area's_ excellent Prograrns in minor sports and other organized activities. Recognition in each of these programs is passed on to those who excel through many in- dividual and group awards and honors, and deservedly so. For the past two years, there has been another award which rec- ognizes a young person in our community whose actions are indic- ative of a willingness to accept the responsibility of our community's destiny. Originated by its benefactor, an active com- munity member and leader, the Margaret Bennett Junior Citizen Award is now a memorial to her. Last year, Mrs. Bennett presen d the first ever award to Wing - ham's Jonathan Gibbons. Last week, her husband Roy made the presentation of this r' �.ar's award to Stephanie Goll, also of Wing - ham. Each of these your ig people, through g their example, standards for otheryoungoP e, have set y have taken the first bold steplong the pathway of community ow. e leader- ship. Along with the rest of our community, we at The Advance -Times congratulate Stephanie P Goll on being the recipient this year of the Margaret °Bennett .Itlnibr'Citizen• Awivard :. ; A It's our turn The:Town„of Wingham is to be commended for its initiative in es- tablishing a recycling program which will soon be underway in our town. On Saturday, an open house will be held at the town hall and in the nearby parking lot to provide residents with information on the program. In addition, they will have an opportunity to see a demon- stration of how their recyclable materials will be handled by the special vehicle that collects them. Next week, the "blue boxes” are to be distributed to every household in town and it is with these that we make absolutely cer- tain the program works. Without our participation, recycling in Wingham will have failed and we will go back to the grim prospect of having done nothing to combat the' steadily increasing cost of handling our waste. Plan to show up this Saturday at the town hall and then make a commitment to rnakin ,the blue box program a sound inert. The box Won't do 'any good"int just Oollects dust in •some corner of your home. In most case, inactivity results from not knowing the program's steps. That's what the open, house is for. See you there. Spend to save There is merit in the suggestion that the provincial government could save taxpayers money at budget time by increasing its allo- cati©n to a health related -program which is now in jeopardy. The Toronto Star points Nit that by giving homemakers across the prov- ince 'a raise, Ontario Treasurer Robert Nixon could be cutting costs in other health care: pprograms. We agree. By making homemaking -- a program highly touted by the prov- ince just a few years ago -- a better paying job, more people will be kept out Of hospitals. One ' does not have to be an accountant to, recognize the feponvmic good sense in keeping the many elderly, - disabled -arid chron6liyijl at fiersie with qualified capable -care and out of the farmore.cosffyhQspitais. In addition, the�acute care hos- pital beds,are, then - free - to be just that. The homemaking programs across Ontario are saddled with huge operating deficits largely due to training 'eosts associated with a high staff turnover related to a job which pays barely more than minimum wage in lost cases. In this case. the recommended increase in pay is not only merit- ed, but sensible.
