rage J Choral society prepares for Christmas By DONNA GUMULAK Herald Special Although there are several weeks left before Christmas the Georgetown Choral Society under the direction of A Dale Wood is veil into rehearsals for this years Christmas concert In addition to some interesting and exciting ar rangements of traditional Christmas music this years pro gram will feature Puccinis Gloria The work of Giacomo Puccini br ings to mind world renowned operatic scores such as La Boheme and Madame But terfly Such theatrical endeavors helped Puccini to earn recognition as a brilliant composer yet none are surpassed by the musical ar tistry of his most sacred work Gloria This mass was composed by fuccini in 1880 when he was only years of age and served as a tribute to his family who had specialized in sacred music for four generations The young ar tists composition was received en thusiastically by music critics of the day and was considered quite brilliant but became overshadow ed as Puccini sought to master the dramatic for which he is famous today The mass was thus put aside and virtually lost In some 72 years later an American priest travelled to Italy in order to do research for his book about Puccinis life With the help of Puccinis musical secretary the de Gloria was rediscovered The score was brought back to the US and in Chicago July 12 the mass was performed once more The years which had lapsed since its original performance did not hinder the music critics praise nor the overwhelming response of the audience Today di Gloria is per formed again and again a most romantic and often exciting blend of harmony and musical structure making the score one which has proven itself timeless and the musical artistry of Giacomo Puc cini quite unforgettable The Georgetown Choral Society invites you to come and enjoy di Gloria as well as a variety of other seasonal music as they present Sounds of Christmas Friday Nov 24 at the Second Christian Reform Church

recycling effort The federal governments in volvement in waste management could improve the recycling market Regional director of waste management John MacKay said last week Mr reacted to Halton- MP Garth Turners sugges tion that the federal government should become more involved in waste management across the country and should legislate nationwide recycling The waste management director said if the federal government as well as the provincial and municipal governments have clearlydefined roles the split power base on waste management could be successful Mr said the federal government could control packag ing in Canada Most packaging is produced in Ontario for the entire country If controls were placed on all packaging recycling could be made easier he said The federal government is presently involved with waste management in terms of produc ing environmentfriendly packages that have a federal sym bol to show they are approved There is also an incineration pro gram called National Incineration Evaluation Program that has been going on for the past five or six years Mr MacKay said The program examines the burning of wastes used to fuel machinery The results of that incineration study should be available next year But in the areas of landfill management Mr Turner said there is paralysis theres nothing happening The town of Milton and the City of Burlington battled over which municipality would host the Regional landfill site chosen earlier this year To me thats a waste of tax payers dollars Mr Turner said He said the federal government should also be involved in the greater Toronto area initiative select landfill sites for five municipalities near metro in cluding Region It is a senous enough issue that its a national problem Mr Turner said The Regions waste manage ment director said federal involve ment in the GTA would be produc tive if each level of government has clear responsibilities to avoid opposing policies Mr agreed with Mr Turner that the municipalitys role is to collect and dispose of gar bage The federal government could offer financial support in waste management across the country Mr Turner said There could be money there The environment budget was one of the ones that went up when the flthers went down he said But landfill sites dont face money problems he said I dont think we have a lack of funds for landfill right now We have a lack of visfon in how we treat waste It costs Halton Region million a month to transport waste from Halton to Niagara and New York Mr Turner said Mr MacKay agreed that when is shipped out of Ontario or out of the country it becomes a na tional issue Why shouldnt the feds get involved he said KEEP YOUR CAR IN MINT CONDITION NEW CAR TOTAL Kip Titer SAVE 100 OH THIS PACKAGE rebel A
