‘God’s plan’ Bly th sermon topic
The July 23rd service at Blyth
United Church opened with the call
to worship “Commit thy way unto
the Lord, trust in Him and He will
bring it to pass.’’
Greeting at the door was Vera
Badley who joined Mary Hoonard,
Fred Howson and Graham Jackson
for the ushering and passing of
offertory plates.
Margaret Kai accompanied the
singing of the hymns “Let us with a
Gladsome Mind’’, “Breathe on Me
Breath of God’’ and “Will Your
Anchor Hold”. A special anthem
entitled “God Will Take Care Of
upon us. A key verse (Mathew 6
verse 32) in discovering this plan is
“Seek ye first, the kingdom of God
and all things will be added unto
you.”
“How are we to seek God’s
kingdom? Jesus teaches that we
must follow him, to live love, in
order to enter God’s kingdom. Mr.
Cowan gave a brief history of how
man, through his turning from
God, and through his sin has
changed the churches, some be
coming rich and corrupt. He noted
that God is not the author of sin but
in his providence, He can make all
doesn’t wish any one to perish.
How do we know we are follow
ing God’s plan? Mr. Cowan says
we always know when we do
something wrong. It will be evident
in our everyday happenings.‘When
we put God first, it will be the
beginning of peace in our lives.
God calls us to live the way of love
and when we strive to do His will,
His power is ours if we continue to
have faith,-as in the story of Job.
Mr. Cowan closed his message
by singing “How Great Thou Art”
with choir and congregation joining
in on the chorus.
SHANNON-CAMPBELL

Neville Shannon. The marri
age will take place August 18
at North Street United Church

Saltford Valley Hall.
You” was contributed by George
Cowan and Margaret Willhelm.
The children’s story was presented
in the form of a song, “You can be
a Beacon if you let it shine”.
Scripture readings were from
Job 1 (6-21) and Mathew 6 (25-34).
Mr. Cowan’s message was entitled
“The Divine Purpose for Your Life
and Mine”. God has a purpose or
plan for our lives but He leaves it to
us to decide. He doesn’t force it
things work for the good.
On the subject of predestination
some believe that God has predes
tined us to eternal life or destruc
tion before we are born. Mr. Cowan
pointed out that one might as well
live the life of wine, women and
song and enjoy yourself if this was
the case. Contrary, to this theory,
God has given us free choice, to
choose right or wrong. He has the
foreknowledge as to our choice but

Garbage means
big business
BY RAYMOND CANON
I’m not sure what the people of
Watford thought about garbage
before this spring but perhaps not
much different from the people
anywhere else. It is something you
put out once a week; it gets carted
off to destinations unknown and
that is the end of it. However, when
you come to the abrupt realization
that one of these destinations is not
very far away from your house, it
takes on a whole new dimension. It
is not only a new one; it is a big one
as well for garbage disposal has
become a growth industry.
Just about the time 1 heard about
the concerns of the people of
Watford, I was quite by co-inci-
dence reading about garbage dis
posal in both the United States and
Europe. With much bigger popula
tions than that of Canada, it is a
much more urgent problem since,
along with the large number of
people goes a much smaller land
space for disposal purposes. At any
rate, let’s take a look at what the
Americans are doing and then skip
over to Europe.
In the U.S. each household
generates about a ton of garbage a
year. When you add to this about
60 million tons from commerce, 90
million from industry, you get
about 250 million tons of solid
waste and a disturbing 250 tons of
hazardous waste which contain
substances requiring special treat
ment. All this adds up to the
largest per capita amount of gar
bage in the world.
Up until the mid (970’s, garbage
collection was in the U.S. largely
handled by small firms or local
government. To a certain degree
that is still true but the real
changes have come during the last
decade in the disposal of the
material. Not surprisingly as the
amount of garbage increased, so
did the size of the firm doing the
disposing. They began mostly as
amalgams of smaller firms but at
the present time in the States there
are two that have turned into
veritable giant corporations. One of
them, called appropriately enough
Waste Management, has just had
its first billion dollar year in this
decade. That was really only a
beginning; by the end of the
decade, it is estimated that the
same firm will reach almost 4.5
billion dollars in business.
One reason why the firms grew
so big and so rapidly was their
ability to meet new and tough
environmental standards which re
quire safer and costlier methods of
disposal. Up until now burial of
garbage has been the most popular
but most of the states are running
out of sites and for this reason
efforts are being concentrated
more on incineration and recycling.
Twenty years ago the United States
had hardly any incinerators; today
there are more than 100 in opera
tion and they not only get rid of
waste; they also create energy.
Recycling is a costly but pouplar
way of handling waste and New
York City is expected to enact a law
that will require all households to
separate out their recyclable waste.
For purposes of comparison,
Japan, which has obviously very
little space, recycles no less than 40
per cent of its solid waste.
It is not surprising that, with
tougher standards and increased
quantities, the cost of handling
waste has shot up. A decade ago it
cost about $3.00 to put a ton of
hazardous waste in the ground;
tod^ay that cost has risen to about
$300. This has contributed to the
rise of big businesses; it has also
contributed greatly to putting the
small ones into bankruptcy.
In Europe some countries have
concentrated on putting waste col
lection and disposal into the public
sector; Britain is one of these.
France, on the other hand, still lets
the private sector do most of the
work but, as they have been a bit
slower off the mark with environ
mental standards, their industry is
still much more fragmented than
that of the United States. But
whether in the North American or
European market, there is still a lot
of worry about the future. Nobody
is quite sure what regulations are
going to be enacted in the next few
years nor who is going to pay for it.
Right now the laws as they stand
