Charles MacNaughton told more than 100 supporters at a South Huron reorganizational meeting in Dashwood Friday night. "If we believe in the ability of the individual, we should be prepared to fight as energetically as those who oppose our way of life, " the Huron MPP stated. He predicted a lively battle in the next provincial election. "Our party in Huron must be healthy, alert and dedicated to the preservation of those princ- iples which have made this province one of the foremost jurisdictions in the world." The Minister emphasized the positive and creative programs advanced by the new PC team under Prime Minister Bill Davis, "Our new leader is a man who can make tough decisions and who responds to the changing priorities of the people. " ' He referred particularly to the guidelines on education costs, increased aid for property tax- payers, controls on health in- surance costs, no-fault auto insurance and improvements to agricultural programs. Both the Ontario cabinet min- ister and Huron MP Robert Mc- Kinley discussed the new tax reform proposals advanced by the federal government, suggesting that farmers would be affected by changes in depreciation all- owances and the introduction of capital gains tax. McKinley stated that the rec- ent Liberal defeat in Saskatche- wan reflected widespread dis- satisfaction with federal farm policies. Other speakers included Gord- on Hess, Zurich, a vice-presid- ent of the Western Ontario P. C. Association; former Huron ward- ens Jim Hayter, Glenn Webb and George Armstrong, and former Middlesex warden Fred Dobbs. Chairman was Don Southcott. Elmer D. Bell, Q.

Davidson also told council that local councils may collect a cash fee up to five percent of the value of any lot or subdivis- ion prior to development under the Planning Act. The money realized from this department, Davidson pointed out, was to be mused for rec- reational purposes in the area. A suggestion was made by the committee that this cash be put into a county fund which in turn would be used to purchase prop- erties for park purposes on a cou- nty basis. Anson McKinley, deputy - reeve of Stanley, said he felt the control of this money should be left entirely in the hands of the local municipalities who could pool the money in the county fund, with a neighboring township or keep it for recreat- ional facilities in their own areal just as they saw fit. Gerry Ginn, deputy -reeve of Goderich Township, thought that the five percent fee could be split between the local mun- icipality and the county to give both councils an opportunity to develop recreational facilities in the county. No decision was reached on the matter and it is expected the planning board will review the situation further before mak- ing a recommendation to coun- cil. It was noted that only two municipalities - Blyth and the Township of Turnberry - had not contacted the county concerning their opinion of the county plan. These meetings are in Exeter, Tuesday, July 20 in the town hall at 8:30 p. m. , in Clinton Thursday, July 22 in the town hall at 8:30 p. m. and in Wing - ham Monday, July 26 in the town hall at 8:30 p.m. The Land Division Committee has been appointed. It consists of Cal Krauter, chairman; Ian McAllister, Ralph Jewell, Roy Westcott and Clayton Laithwaite with John G. Berry as secretary. It was reported that possible six or seven possible land fill sites for garbage dumping on a co-operative basis would be des- ignated throughout the county, thus giving concerned municip- alities the option to discuss whether or not these sites would be feasible and whether or not they would be interested in am- algamating this service to re- duce overhead expenses.

That does not mean that great num- bers of middle-aged people are going back to the bicycle in despair over traffic and their own wretched physical conditior although this is also happening, and a good thing too. Recycling is basically the smashing up of such things as paper and tin and turning thein back into more paper and tin, instead of the pollu- tion of our countryside with such garbage. If is common practice in many of the countries of the world which are outstripping Canada and the U. S. inter- nationally. I t also makes a great deal of common sense. It boggles one's mind to think of the millions of tons of paper, cans, bottles and other reclaimable materials which head each week for the gar- bage dump. There are several reasons for this vast wastage. One of them is that we have tremen- dous natural resources and we throw them away with a lavish hand. It's like living on one's capital. A second reason, obviously, is that industry is not geared for reclaiming waste, In many cases it's probably cheaper to produce new tins than to recycle tin. Neither of these reasons is a valid one. In the first place, those "inexhaustible resources" of raw material could be ex- hausted in a few decades. In the second, industry should, and must, find cheap means of re- cycling manufactured mate- rials into raw materials. But of course it's much sim- pler to look at the immediate buck. It's much simpler just to raise the price of the pro- duct than to find methods of using disposable items over and over again. Like everything else, the recycling buisness seems com- plicated. A local organization is raising money for a worthy cause. It is collecting news- papers. But they must be bun- dled and tied just so. And the don't want any other kinds of paper. In the meantime, I throw out five hundred pounds of books, which have a higher rag content than the newsprint which is being picked up. Seems silly. What ever became of the old junk -man? There was the ideal catalyst between the con- sumer and the recycler. The perfect middle -man. Most small towns had a junk- man. He usually had a big yard with a fence around it, and inside the fence was an exotic jungle of junk. When I was a kid the junk- man was my chief source of income, A vast, genial Jew with a benign twinkle, he trea- ted us as one businessman to another. There was little hag- , PLAY IN SAFE AREAS It there are construction sites near your home or summer cot= tage, remember a child can easily drown in a few inches of water at the bottom of a ditch, trench or tank.

Prices were established, Pint beer bottles were worth a cent, quarts two cents. He'd double his money on them. Old car tires were a nickel apiece. Paper and scrap iron were care- fully weighed, and after a judi- cious pause, beard cocked to one side, he'd say, "1 gif you twelf cents," An enterprising kid could pick himself up forty or fifty cents a week, big money in those days, And if we caught a nice pike in the canal (this was before people worried about sewage and such) it was a bonanza, worth a dime or fifteen cents. But a meal for his family. He prospered. And many of the big fortunes in Canada to- day started out in the junk- yard. The junk -man was an unrecognized benefactor to society. During the war, there were tremendous drives for scrap me- tal and newsprint. It must have been used for something. Pig farmers picked up the food gar- bage from big military kitchens. Why couldn't we do the same today? It would provide em- ployment , stop wasting -re- sources, and do a lot to clean up our envirorunent. I'd be perfectly willing to sort my garbage into wast food, bottles and cans, and newspa- pers. How about you? We could all be our own junk -men and do a lot for our country, Wedding BISBACK - WHITMAN An original gown by Angie of H milton was chosen by Janis Whitman, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Rodger Whitman, of Sea - forth, for her marriage to Peter Grant Bisback, son of Mr, and Mrs. Grant Bisback of liensall. The dress was of white polyester crepe in a high fitted A-line style. The jewel neckline was trimmed with aurora borealis sequins and .seed pearls. The cha- pel train fell from beneath a bias strip at the Empire waistline. Her double layered fingertip veil was held by a Juliet cap of the same sequins and pearls as the dress trim. The ensemble was completed by a nosegay of pink rose buds, orchid carnations, pink and white baby's breath, stephanotis and white shasta mums. The bride given in marriage by her father was attended by Miss Karen Johnson of Toronto, as maid of honour, Miss Anita Whitman, Miss Joanne Whitman, sisters of the bride as brides- maids. Also attending were Miss Darlene Whitman, a sister of the bride and Miss Cynthia Bisback, sister of the groom. Their flow- ers were of pink rose buds, orch- id carnations, pink and white baby's breath and white shasta mums. The groom's attendant was Mr. John Skea, of Hensall and the ushers were Mr. William Lindsay, of Selkirk, Mr. Ernst Heuser of Fort Erie, Mr. James Bisback, Shakespeare, Mr. Kev- in Bisback and Mr. Allan Bisback of Hensall. For a motor trip to the East the bride wore a shrimp coloured pant suit of English crimpoline with brown accessories and a corsage of yellow sweetheart roses.
