FIRST SNOWMOBILE
Wingham produced its first
snowmobile in February of 1930
when E. Webster of the Wingham
Machine Shop completed his ma-
chine. Unlike the rest of the drift
jumpers, its motive power was de-
rived from an aeroplane propellor -
attached to the crankshaft, thereby
deriving lots of pep and speed.

BELMORE—Recycling and waste
management was the topic of the
March meeting of the Bellmore
Women's Institute. Thirteen mem-
bers were prese4t;
Mrs. IVIacAdam outlined the
highlights of a recent Kingston con-
ference on recycling, Ontario citi-

problems are -mounting, site report;
ed.
Many municipal disposal sites
are nearly full and 'nobody wants a
new dump at their back door. There
is a great need to recycle as much of .
the garbage as possible, ,Mrs.
MacAdam continued. japan al-
ready recycles 90 per cent of its
waste.
The Ontario government now
provides grant for recovery and re-
cycling projects. Mrs. MacAdam
noted 'that on a recent trip to
Cobourg, the blue boxes were al-
ready in use and Wingham soon
will be providing them.
Bottles can be crushed and with
the addition of other materials,
made into new glass, she claimed.
Steel -and tin cans can be separated
and re -used. Newsprint is de -inked
and made into egg carkms. A total
of 45,000 torts Of garbage is re -tried
each year, Mrs. MaeAdam noted.
Some household waste cans can
be used to build a compost heap to
enrich gardens. A pamphlet is
available on how to make a com-
post heap. Another way of recy-
cling waste is to reject products in
stores with unnecessary packaging.
Take your own container to be re-
filled at a bulk food store and do-
nate good used clothing to charity
We must all participate to con-
serve our natural resources, protect
the environment and thus make our
community a better place in which
to live, she concluded.
Mrs. Doris Hays read an article
about the work of the Women's In-
stitute in England, where there are
35,000 members. They are consider-
ing opening branches in urban cen-
tres, hospitals and factories and
also are concerned with the topic of
consumer credit.
Tice English frequently hold mar-
kets where fruits, meats, baking,
pickles and crafts are sold, reported
Mrs. Hays.
