The union issued a state- ment February 16 saying the "English only" declaration by some municipalities "is very disturbing and the wrong direc- tion for our country." And CAW president Bob White says "the rationale that francophone language services would be too costly is not justi- fied. This cost is picked up by the provincial governments, and would not affect municipal governments." He went on to say the cost factor is "really just an excuse. The English-only movement really reflects a growing intoler- ance in our country to franco- phone minority language rights. This intolerance would have francophones denied the Big Brothers/Sister of North Durham 286-3733 NEEDED ... BIG BROTHERS in the Port Perry Area Waiting list of 4 LITTLES ...

He went on to say that no- where in North America is the English threatened as it is ac- cessible through the media, ed- ucation and publicinstitutions. White concluded by saying that before permanent damage is done, the federal government "should re-assess its path and now is the time for people from all walks of life to speak out be- foreitis too late." Region wants deposit and return system for colored glass jars A deposit and return system should be implemented by the provincial government on all colored glass products. Durham is one of many re- gions ready to petition the On- tario government to implement a deposit and return system of colored glass, similar to the that now in place for soft drink and beer bottles. Currently, glass jars that are not clear are not recycleable and end up in landfill sites across the province. "The glass recycling industry has now stated that the mixing of colorless and colored glass for recycling purposes creates a feedstock for glass recyeling processes which is not suita- ble," Ron Schulthies, City of Stratford clerk, told councillors in aletter to the region. "The glass recycling industry has mandated that starting in 1990, colored glass must be sep- arated out for recycling purpos- es." Often, the #¥nly reason col- ored glass is used is for market- ing strategy, Mr. Schulthies wrote. Unfortunately, many people don't know that colored glass cannot be placed in blue boxes and "separating out colored glass makes local recycling pro- grams less efficient and more expensive for no apparent rea- son other than marketing deci- - sions calling for colored con- tainers,"" he continued. Durham councillors unani- mously endorsed the resolution to petition the provincial gov- ernment. -------- EMMERSON INSURANCE BROKERS LIMITED 193 QUEEN ST., PORT PERRY, ONT.

Here Amanda London gets a taste of some healthy food. Kindergarten students learn about nutrition from Grade 6 students Prince Albert School tried a new angle in teaching their stu- dents about the advantages of nutrition; they had students teach students. 'Mr. Taylor's Grade 6 class put together nutrition-wise ac- tivity centres, to show the kin- dergarten class what good eat- ing habits are all about. The kindergarten class of Mrs. Down has been studying the four food groups, and the Grade 6 class has been: study- ing nutrition as part of their course of study. The teachers decided to have the Grade 6 kids, teach the younger ones all they knew about nutrition. . The students were given a short lesson in what they were to do. To make up a teaching strategy, and something to catch the children's attention, and to doit allin five minutes. The Grade 6 students wrote their own activities, organized themselves into groups, collect- ed their own materials, and went to work. The students performed pup- pet plays, talk shows, and taste test centres in hopes that if the children remembered anything from what they saw, it would be not to fill their mouths with junk every time they opened it.
