Leahy PARTONE Garbage, garbage, everywhere and no backyard.ta put it in. In just one industry alone, the pop -or soft drink undustry, the garbage statistics .are, ,over- whelming: up to twoý billion soft drink, 'cens along with '40 ta 50 million, plastic sonftdrink'botties are throWn away by Ontariens each and every year. 0f course, the~ soft drink industry is a big supporter of, the blue box recycllng -ý.programn and they contribute money ta advertising campai gns that tell us we are wonderful eause we recycle. The fact, is that, despite one of the worid's Imost eèxtensive (and expensive)- 'home' 'recycling programs3, only about 25-per' cent ta 30 per cent of those cenis .and bottles act,âuâllv end 'up being recycled. The rest, are elther landfilled or found on the aides of roa dsail across the province. ,There are lots 0f other industries that. create ,'disposables' for'aur. convenience - fram. diapers ta- plastic plates ýand utensils, ta' packaged products, ta fast-food containers, ta .bage.

Prectically everything we own,, we consider disposable. Be it a pop cen or a car,te moment we. purchase' them We thlnk. about gettingrld of -them. We rarely buy anythlng that we think will, lastI our entire iffetime. 0f course,, there aren't too many thnsthes e days thet could. That ilà no accident.

Kinsmen wadinýg pool hours restrjicti've, To the Edîtor: Copy of lette r to Mayor' Tom Edwards. Dear Mr. Edwards: Earlier this yar w orres- ponded about m disappointment over cuncil's plans to, close down the Kinsmen pools.*'.I1was overjoyed when counicil chaniged its mmnd and ruled that the pools would remain open'for, the summer of 1992., Thank you for allowing, the neceesary repaira to keep the pools open. Our famlly has enjoyed a number of afternoons et the wing pool. 1I.understand that the ,future opening orclosing of the two pols will'» be- determined by< thia summer'ssattendance record whlch is being carefully monitored. Thia concernis me. Unfortunately, we ýare having unusuaily cool and rainy, weather. resulting in an ail-lime loIw attendance, record. %This year's attendance will not. be an-accurate predicling measure for attendanceë in future years. AndsI urge counicil not ta base its decision on this summers record. Another pont that 1 would like traise, has ta dowith the new hours of the w oading -pool. In previaus, years, families were free ta enjoy the wading pool et. any time -- momnga, aftemnoons and evenings. This year's new schedule conflicls itkh..h Aschedules, qf typicalpre-achooÃ"lers, the, pri may users ofthe pool. When the pool1 is open f rom 2 ta, 5 p.m., many pre- 1schoolers are unable ta corne due ta iR being nap time, until about 4 or -4:30 p.m. This, in addition ta the poar- weather we've been having, will certainly cause a d rap in altendance aitIhe wading pool.
