Recycle Reject Ke -use
Last week we listed ways in
which we can all pitch in to save
money and energy by recycling
products. Following are some
questions you might ask yourself
which may help you put the
remaining 2 Rs to work - namely
Reject and Re -use.
DO YOU: REJECT
SUCH ITEMS AS:
1. Disposable paper plates,
towels?
2. Over -packaged items? - Pack-
aging is the largest component of
waste. Less packaged products
cost less money. Avoid "bubble"
packaging and cardboard and
heavy foil wrapped articles. Buy
in bulk if possible, and take your
own containers. Or how about
growing your own vegetables?
Backyard gardens provide good
food, lots of fun, lower food bills
and hidden energy savings. The
energy you will use to cook them
will be less than the energy used
to prepare, precook and preserve
a convenience item.
3. Unsolicited mail? - Junk mail
can be returned free if it is
unopened; just mark it "refused -
Return to Sender" and drop in
any mail box. Or have your name
removed from all mailing lists by
writing to the Canadian Direct
Mail Association, 130 Mert- n
Street, Toronto, Ontario) Moa
1A4.
4. Aerosol cans? - Aerosols can be
3 or 4 times more expensive than
comparable products in simple,
non -pressurized containers, and
cannot be re -used or recycled.'
They are now believed to be
indirectly responsible for destruc-
tion of the earth's ozone layer
which blocks off dangerous levels
of ultra violet light from reaching
the earth.
5. Novelty or luxury items? . Do
you really need an electric can
opener, electric carving knife or
electric tooth brush?
6. Appliances that are not built to
Teachers study
child development
Over 300 elementary school
women teachers' from all over
Ontario spent • ,their weekend
(Ap'ril 21-22) in Toronto learning
more about the ways in which
young children learn. A new. book
on Early Childhood Education
which has just been published by
the Federation of Women Teach-
ers was given to each delegate.
The book explores the complexit-
ies which must be considered
when planning effective learning
for young children.
Attending from this area. were:
Mrs. Nancy Maclntyre of Luck -

Dr. Bayne Logan, a professor at
the University of Ottawa gave a
presentation on children's emo-
tional development and Dr. Janet
Russell, a professor at Queen's
University outlined how children
learn to use language. Dr.. Marcel
Kinsbourne from the Toronto
Hospital for Sick Children ex-
plained the causes of hyperactiv-
ity and advised teachers how such
behaviour can be managed. There
was' discussion on the pros and
cons of using 'tranquilizers with
children.
. The focus of the conference was
to look at* ways schools ` can
establish the best possible learn-
ing programs. for .young children.
Learning theory and how it should
be translated into practice was
presented by Virginia Plunkett, a

Disability
transportation
under way
WALKERTON: April 20, 1978.
Today marked the inauguration
of the new Disability Transporta-
tion, Co-op with Pat Schumacher,
Audrey Ritchie, Patricia Zister,
Rick MacDonald, and Mary Stone
the first passengers. They travel- -
led a route which included
Teeswater, Lucknow, Lurgan
Beach and Kincardine • from
Walkerton, bringing them to the
Adult Rehabilitation Centre in
Walkerton and returning them to
their respective homes. -
Transportation was provided by
means of the newly -acquired
eight passenger van which has
been outfitted with a hydraulic lift
and clamp -in stations to accom-
modate wheel chairs. Although
today's trip was geared to
workshop participants at ARC,
other travel will be provided for
those entering the adaptive swim
program in Kincardine, schedul-
ed to start in May, and for
residents of the Saugeen Villa
Home in Hanover and the nursing
home in Lucknow.
Comments concerning this
"Maiden voyage" were made by
John Seidle, driver/co-ordinator
for the Co-op, as ' "Everything
went smoothly, and as planned. I
was quite pleased. The route
entails a two hour drive for me."
The Disability Transportation
Co-op is one of a number of
models being tested by the
Bruce/Grey Transportation Pilot
Project during Phase Two of its
operation. In Phase One, last
year, models such as the Co-op
were developed by groups of local
citizens in communities 'where
problem situations had been
identified. The Co-op model was
the result of such problem solving
both in Kincardine and Paisley.
The combined efforts of groups in
these two communities helped to
develop the idea.
The long range plan is for the
users of the service to own and
operate it jointly. Meares ,to
help accomplish this plan are
already underway.
Information concerning the
operation of the Co-op can be
obtained by phoning Mr. Seidle at
881-2509. §°
