By the looks of both dumps, they should no doubt be closed and cleaned up The top photo to tYe right is a section of the Zurich dump, while the lower one is a partial view of the Hay Township dump. Both might be described as mes- ses, even though they have Leen bulldozed in recent weeks. To make matters worse at the Zurich dump, there is a small stream running through the prop- erty at the bottom of the dump grounds, and officials have stat- ed this is being polluted. There is also water close by at the Hay site. A move to abolish all municip, al dumps in seven area municip- alities was begun about a month ago, and in the very near future representatives of all the areas involved will be meeting with officials of the Department of Energy Resources, waste disposal branch, to c 1me up with a suit- able answer to the problems. At a recent meeting in Credit- on, a suggestion was put forth that the seven or eight municip- alities go together and operate three or four waste disposal sites in the area. These waste disposal sites are operated as a land fill project, and as the garbage is dumped it is covered up with ground again. Officials stated that after a couple of years land used for this purpose can be used for crops again. The estimate cost of such waste disposal sites has been set at approximately two dollars per capita, per year. ZURICH MUNICIPAL DUMP SHOW ME ALOTOF SPOOKS ANP GOBLINS AND MONSTERS.� ...CARRvING BLACK AND ORANGE CARTONS., J AND I'LL *SNOW YOU SOME GREAT YOUNGSTERS COLLECTING:._, UNICEF FOR I'VE JUST BEEN LISTED IN "Y4 O'S V1ITCI-C © 1969 by News Syndicate Co. Inc. World Rights Reserved Children Ready for UNICEF Campaign. This year, about 3/4 million children all acrd'ss Canada, most of them under 12, will become, for a few short hours, the most important part of int- ernational aid in Canada. At Hallowe'en, armed with their familiar black and orange boxes they collect, along with Hallowe'en treats, a major part of UNICEF's Canadian Income, mostly in pennies and nickels. The money they raise -- last year about $666, 000 ---goes to help children much the same age as themselves in the devel- oping countries of the world, with long term programs of ed- ucation, health care, nutrition and, where necessary, emerg- ency aid. Before they start collecting, a great deal of activity takes place behind the scenes. Boxes have to be distributed and the young collectors have to be told the reasons why they are collect- ing and the good their money will do. Many volunteers and organizations assist in the work of preparing the children for their important night. After- wards comes the task of count- ing and banking the money. All this sounds most worthy and commendable, but quite frankly, don't the kids find this serious stuff a bit of a drag? Wouldn't they be happier if we just left them to collect sacks of candy? Probably the best answer is to let the children speak for them- selves. Here are excerpts from just a few of the many letters that UNICEF received from them after last year's Hallowe'en campaign: "On Hallowe'en night, I thought about you more than candy" "For ones who are sick and the ones that have no clothes I hope you get some" "Soon as you get the money I hope you will be happy for the rest of your life" "On Hallowe'en we were given UNICEF boxes to collect money. We counted it and rol- led it. We took it to the bank, They counted it and said we were right. We hope you have fun with your money" "I was a ghost" If you need further proof that children have MORE fun with modern style Hallowe'en-- that they have learned the joy that comes from sharing with others -- take a look at the face behind the collecting box on October 31. Maybe thr rest of us could learn something from then, too.
