There wiIl also be an exhibition of craft books that yen can obtain from the library that will be ârranged by our own local branch of the Whitbylibrary. A very good evening ail round. Did you read the article on page 2 of last week's Free Press? t found it most interesting ...especially at the part that said, 'Dick Kuwahara, Whtby's public works director says the tewn has an account for the money it gets from setling the metal and glass for recycling but the money in the account is not too'much! I'm fot surprised! This was the first time that 1 had heard that we had a recycling program. 1, for one, think it is a great idea, but why doesn't* the tewn go fuît blast with it? How can one take it seriously with Iust twe drop off boxes both positioned toward the southern end of the town? I'm more than certain that residents in the North Ward are just as keen on recycling and woutd certainly make very good use of drop box somewhere in the North Ward? Perhaps we should have recycting comrpetitions between the wards.... ah money from each ward to be spent on the ward that coltected it. Maybe then we contd aIl gel the extras that we want wilhout having to BROWN 'S FOODMASTER OÀàdo BROOKLIN, ONTARIO NORTN WHITBY PHONE 655-4521 atisfactlî VaPOA CULVERNOUSE gIAF IAMONS o STERLING POWOEIED- LAUNRY CANTO CNOîCî PARKAY TABLE WAGON SUNLIGHT MIKCREAMso INS CRNf...TI.Marai SALT WHME EL S DETERGENT C R 119f.e.tn1-L O 24-02 PACKAGE 12-02.

Let's ail do our share in conserving and _ recycling. 1 found 'another interesling article ..ctually a lelter ... on page 4. (LasI weeks was a good issue, Mike!) And oh how 1 agree wilh Mr. B. Collins wilh his remarks regarding dog tags. But 1 have fast corne te the concl-isien that the Price and Wage guide- lines were for everyone but varions levels ef gov't. Taxes, it seems, are exempt! But, if the Town of Wihltby îhinks that it is going te gel a greater revenue by increasing the tags, then -they shouid think again. Dog owners can be divided up mbt two groups..respen- sible and the reverse. For years, the former have been bearing the brunt of deg cenîrol by paying their deg tags. While the others have been îaking their chances and usually are the ones thal make dog control necessary by allowing their ,,nimals te ruin loose. And every limne their lias beeni an increase, tlhe former have dutifully paid up. But don't the "\vise eues of XViby" realise that even the- xorini villturn? In- creasingc cosîs like this. ini- stead cf encouraging ownerS to tag their animais, wil, if anytliin produce the very opposite ... ii Jher words, more will take tlemi chances! There is neo compensation for those who have hiad their animats spayed or neutered aI their own expense... n, l'ni net suggesting that the town pay for il, but 1 do feel that there could be grealer encour- agemnent for ail te fellow this excellent trend if they fonnd that they ceuid get some relief when il cornes le buying a tag. I would aise tike te see a rundown of income fromi tags..and le what use il is put. Dees the Humane Society, which ha5 the job ef animal contrel, gel the lot? Or is the surplus put te other uses? If the meney is put te general use, then why aren't ether ferrns ef pet keeping aIse taxed? The minI they ce'utd make frem cal tags! I agree with .yeu, B. Cellins. There is ne reasonable explanation for this increase, it is just another excuse to rake ini the dollars.
