If they aren't, what will they learn? Pollution! Is there a reason for pollution? The children won't even see any of our animals, such as the whooping crane, black -tailed prairie dog, prairie chicken, big -horned sheep found on the Rocky Mountains, pereg- rine falcon, Eskimo curlew, kit fox, and many more. They are already exstinct. What will there be left when theyare born. When most childen are born, there will be nothing to see in the way of nature. Could we help this way of doing things? Yes we can! Some people do not know what work is, but if they don't know they will have to learn. Is it possible that some people - will refuse to do this? Yes, it is. But what will be the reply from us? This is it. "Pollution is the trouble today. We have ten years to work, and put the world back to the way it was planned. Teenagers thin, we're having a nice time. At night we go out and have fun. We don't seem to get hurt from what you call "Pollution." When we get home from school we have records we can play. We don't have any time to do what you call "Help clean up Pollut- ion." Well, after we have fin- ished listening to them, they do sound pretty busy. But as far as I am concerned, going out at night could be cut out along with playing their records. If they were busy and didn't want to help, we wouldn't have too many hours, because quite a few people in this part of the world are teenagers. It is not all teenagers that talk this way, but about eighty-nine percent do. After we had done our part of helping pollution, the teenager s we have now would have child- ren and their children would be living in a well-planned world. These teenagers now would be happy they helped because their children would be living in a clean world. by Donna Riddell. A is for animals which will die from pollution.

DON' T LITTER Most people in this world throw their litter everywhere except where it is supposed to be. Then later it becomes a habit, then over and over again they pile up their litter until they have caused pollution. Here is an example of litter spread around, such as on the beach. People pull dogs in the water and don't take them out after they're finished playing with their'. Other people have camp fires and don't clean them up after they are finished with them. The next day more people come and leave more litter lying around instead of putting it in a trash can. Just think about people who keep on pollutingthis land that was once a beautiul place to live in, and a place of fun and happiness. Why in the next ten years this place will be so polluted no one would want to live in it. All this land would be good for is dumping your garbage. So, people of this land, "please keep Canada Beautiful!" by Joyce Murray POLLU TION Keep your car in good cond- Wedding DOXTATOR - LAVERY Hensall United Church was the setting of a quiet but pretty wedding on Saturday, May 9, at 4 p.m. , when Rev.

We should put a filter on all the cars to help keep pollution down. Some huge jets give off as much exhaust as 1, 000 cars put togeth- er. Everyday tons of garbage are dumped into the rivers. A long time ago you could go down to the beach and see beautiful water and sand. Now you can go and see dead fish lying around the beach and polluted water. Rem- ember you and I can prevent pollution. by Mark Adams.
