A comprehensive _ waste
management program to reclaim
and recycle valuable . resources
from Ontario's annual 'eight
(million tonne of garbage was an,
nounced last week in the Legrgla-
ture by Environment Minister
William G. Newman. The °utarto
Ministry of the Environnnient is
launching a 15 -year program to
establish a systetn of transfer
• Stations, transportation and - re-
clamation'centres which willsub-
stitute waste reclamation for
. garbage disposal, Mr. 'Newman
said. The first six reclamation
plants will serve Kingston, Sud-
bury,,, London and- the Metro-
politan Toronto -Peel -Halton
area.
The program also incorporates
measures to investigate the pro-
duction of waste. •
Mr: Newman said the
Ministry's first six plants will be
built as `soon as possible at an
estimated cost of 07 million.

What's
Hu ronview?
Volunteers 'from the Goderich
Township Women's Institute,
along with a new volunteer, Mrs.
Hulley, of Winthrop, assisted
with Monday afternoon's activi-
ties. Mrs. Maitland Driver and
Molly Cox joined Norman Speir
and Jerry Collins to provide the
old time music for the occasion. A
new resident, Mrs. Grasby of
Seaforth, was welcomed to the
Home.
Mrs. Ross Hoggarth of
Bluevale arranged the "Family
Night" program with talent from
the surrounding area. Three
young violinists, Kevin Machan,
Jack Whytock and Kevin
Hoggarth, played as a group as
well as solo numbers, ac-
companied by Mrs. Hoggarth.
Clark Johnston sang several Irish
and Scottish numbers and Pa-
tricia Hoggarth played two piano
solos. ,Percy Vincent, a former
resident of Bluevale, thanked the
entertainers on behalf of the resi-
dents.
There will be some changes in
the next couple of weeks hi the
"family Night" programs.
Hallowe'en being on a Thursday
a party is planned in the
afternoon which will replace the
• regular "Family Night" pro-
` gram. In the first week of
November the "Family Night"
program is being held on
Wednesday, November 6th at 7
p.m.
Let's keep Hallowe'en
safe for 'trick or treaters'
Make sure your children have•a
"ghostly" not "ghastly"
Hallowe'en, the Ontario Safety
League advised.
They said parents should make
sure the children have light
colored costumes, or have reflec-
tive tape on dark costumes and
treat bags. Reflective dangle
tags that hang from clothing and
reflect oncoming car lights are a
good idea all winter. These are
available from the,,Ontario Safety
League at 25 cents each. Re-
flective tape is available at auto
supply stores, and fluorescent
paint at craft and hardware\
stores.
Some other tips the League
suggested were:
Encouraging make-up on faces
instead of masks which may
obscure vision;
Being sure to check your
child's treats before allowing him
to eat them. In some instances,
parents have found razor blades
and other objects in apples and
candy bars.
Setting up `trick or treat' cur-
fews and boundaries fer your
chilifren. Accompany younger
children yourself. Make sure the
children travel in groups;
Children often forget traffic
safety rules in their excitement.
When you drive on Ifallowe'en, be
especially alert for 'trick or
treaters'.
Keep porch and yard lights on
to prevent tumbles;
Discourage vandalism by
putting away outdoor furniture,
tools, playthings;
Avoid fire! Pumpkins should be
lighted , by a flashlight — not
candles;
Don't let children enter homes
or apartments. Stay in your own
neighborhood and visit only
lighted homes. Adults who are in-
tolerant of children are usually
known throughout the neighbor-
hood; avoid them ;
Call on one side of the street
and then the other. Don't criss-
cross the street.
The League said by adhering to
these guidelines, Hallowe'en can
be a highlight on your children's
recreational calendar — and a
safe one at that. C
Gold was discovered in the
Yellowknife area of the North-
West Territories in 1934. In 1938,
the Con Mine came into pro-
duction. It was followed by four
ethers: Most of- the. mines closed
with the outbreak of the Second
World War. However, in 1948 the
Con Mine was re -opened and
Giant Yellowknife, the largest
gold producer in the Northwest
Territories, came into production
th0 same year, followed by the
Discovery Mine in 1950.

completed in Canada by the end

plete conversion to the system
will be More easily accomp-

litre, gram, hectare, degree
Celsius, newton, joule, and pascal
will become as common as yard,
pound, acre, etc. are at present.
"We drove 1,800 kilometres on
our holidays."
• "Clinton to Goderich is 19 kilo-
metres."
"I would like half a kilogram of
grapes, please."
"He owns a 40 hectare farm in
Morris Township."
"This dress took 2.5 metres of
crimplene. I used' the 120 centi-
metres width material."
"Tomorrow's going to be a
scorcher. The weatherman says
it will hit 35."
The International System of
Units, known the world over as SI
(from the French "Le Systeme
International d'Unites) is the
modern version of the metric
system. In some aspects SI
differs somewhat from former
metric systems. Although SI is
continually being reviewed, it
may be assumed that the
material in this booklet is pre-
sently acceptable for use in
Canada.
Changes in the School
The new School generation will
be one which must know metric
measures at least as well as the
present students know imperial.
Thinking and estimating in the
new units must become natural
and familiar attributes.
Whenever a teacher wishes to
order stationery, scissors, cello -
tape, maps, rulers, drafting
boards, gym equipment, measur-
ing cups, sewing tapes, balances,
thermometers, tools, visual aids
and even books, he or she will
find the specifications in cata-
logues and periodicals in-
creasingly expressed in metric
terms.
Language study at all levels
will be influenced as concepts of
measurement are reconsidered
in a new light as we drop old
habits amd adopt new ones.
Naturally Shylock will not
demand 454.5 grams of Antonio's
flesh and Peter Piper refuses to
pick 9.062 litres of pickled
peppers. However there will be
many quantitative references in
language learning and these will
increasingly be expressed in
metric terms.
Changes In the Home
Seldom are wo conscious of the
extent of measurement in our
daily lives. As a student develops
he or she begins and continues to
find that the e • home is full` of

240 and a man's neck size may be

cause grave concern, resulting in
a concerted effort to reduce the
temperature to a normal of 37.
Bedtime, the teacher's — that is
— might 'occur at 23:30 and a
much deserved sleep will be ap-
preciated on a 2 x 1.5 metre bed.
Changes in Shopping
At present many packaged
goods are marked in both
imperial and metric units. Some
milk containers now show 1 quart
and also 1.14 litres Eventually,
the container will change to a 1
litre size and perhaps for a short
period its equivalent, 0.88 quart.
