(Expositor Photo) Jocks Jottings.• BY JACK RiDDELL,IVC,P',P The: theme , of this year's ' Senior . Citizens' „Week - 'Celebrate Living' - conveys an importantmessage for Ontarians of all ages. While Senior Citizens' Week gives us. an opportunity to `honour our citizens who' are 6$ years of age or older; it should: also cause •each ' of us to re consider our attitudes about older people. We should remember that many. of our greatest leaders and citizens have .contributed to their communities well beyond their 65th year; Winston; Churchill, Pablo Picasso, and Dr. Robert McClure, Nellie McClung and A.Y. Jackson. If Senior Citizens' Week can focus on the vitality of older people, perhaps itwill help our leaders to recognize. that it's time toabandon' the laws'that force retirement at age 65. While I suspect that most people look forward to retirement, I know -that there are many .who are very willing and able to contribute their working skills and ex-, `perience beyond. • the age of 65. .It is the . •freedom to choose either course that is important to the vitality of Ontario's senior population - a freedom which, 1 believe, should be enshrined in our • Human Rights Code. • So during this week, let's 'Celebrate Living' and let's resolve to ensure that every • senior in Ontario Can continue to celebrate afti contribute. to our province as -;long as he or she chooses.

Within two weeks the Ministry of the Environment experts tobegin screening offers from several 'firms to build at least two plants to process millions of gallons of liquid waste as an "at'least. temporary solution to the problem," The .government, has decided to try _ to solve the liquid industrial waste problem by turning the liquids into solids. Based on. U.S. and British experience. the process seems effective and is niitsexpenive.
