Whether yop are' slaving away over a hot stove, pressing buttons on a radar range, or en joying that grand finale, sipping your after dinner coffee, do you. ever give any thought to the amount of waste you created with the meal? Potato peelings - in the garbage or do you put them to one side ,ready for the compost pile in the back, garde? ,Vegetable trimmings, egg shelis, and coffee * grounds can follow the samne path. Vegetable or soup tins -just discarded to the garbage, or did you take an extra moment to open the bottom and rinse and squash the can, storing them in a separate box? Juice bottle - tossed out, or once again did you take an extra moment and wash off the label and store in another separate box?' The newspaper you are reading, does it too go out in the garbage, or do you tie them up for later collection by a local agency? A few noble people across the region are followýinig some or ahl of the above suggestions, they are taking their bottles, cans, cardboard aEnd papers into an oýrganization called Save theEniom t Please (S.T.E.P.) at the Oshawa Centre every Saturday. These people do this voluntary, yet one of these days in the not too distant future we may finid our municipal- ities picking up only separated garbage. Consider doing it now, it only takes a moment, do it out of respect for our dwindling resources, so, then they may hast longer for those not 50 thoughtful. While on the subject of garbage I wonder how Mt. 24-Hour TX C Service X O much longer we are going to be subjected to the regurgitated mumblings of a unity issue. I for one am f ettng just a1 little d-up with the whole issue, the sooner the referendum is cahled the better. I for one am sure that the Canadians in the province of Quebec will vote for Canada and show Mr. Levesque that Canada comes first.

Wouhd you caîl that arrogance or simply audacious?, Big D, Stands For Durham- DURHAM Durham Region's new trademark. 'The symbol you see on this page is going to be the 'newv trademark for the Region of Durham. In a near-unanimous vote, members of regional council have decided to use a big "D" as the symbol of their munici- pality. Under the "D", the namie "Durham" will be printed in capital letters. The design-was chosen at a regional council session in Witby March 1, after regional officiais looked at ideas submitted by Public and Industrial Relations Limited, Durham's recently-hired advertising and promotiongl- firm. Modern Style '$This' strong, modemn-style motif makes a pleasing design in itself, But it also packs meaning. The "D" impacts the eye with special intensity and vibration due to the eight tracks (one for eacb munici- pality) which wrap the core section," the firm stated in its description of the Durham logo. Regional councillors were told by Executive Art Director Ron Richards that the design would usually be reproduced in black and white but when used in color, the trademark will be dark blue and white. Costs $6,000 Cost of designing the logo and preparinig it for use'in the Durham Region's promotional campaign is estimated at $6,000.' As well as using the new trademhark in Durham's efforts to promote the sale of industrial land in Europe, the region experts to eventually use the symbol on letterhead, trucks, water towers and other pieces of regional equip- ment.

He argued that the area bounded by Cobourg on the east, Bowmanville on the west and Peterborough on the north bas an unemployment rate of 10.5 per cent. This is the same unemploy- ment rate as the Sudbury area, Mr. Lawrence stated. Ini bis remarks to the PC association, Mr. Lawrence predicted a June election and pinpointed tbe second week of June as tbe exact date oftbe federal election. Two key recommendations to be put into effect by the Ministry of Natural Resources this year are a revised provincial parks fee structure and stronger enforcement of park regulations to help combat rowdyism. "One of the council's recommendations regarding park revenues related to operating and maintenance costs is reflected in the recently announced increase in park fees, " Mr. Miller said. "The counicil suggested'that park users pay a, fair portion of costs.,We hope that the new rates will recover,60 per cent of costs which in our view is a fair share." On public behaviour in parks, the mînister said that a clear statement of park regu- lations will be posted this year in most provincial parks and that regulations wiIl be rigidly enforced to reduce rowdyism. In its second annual report, the Ontario Provincial Parks Council made several recom- mendations regarding the relationship between the public and private sectors.

Miller said today. PLrogvram In today's society, it is becomîng increasingly diffi- cult to find employment for adults who have neyer learned the, basic reading and arithmetic skills. Durham College's Adult Training Division is giving these adults an opportunity to develop new self esteem as functîonally literate citizens. Because of advanced tech- nology, most working situa- tions are becoming more specialized. For'example, one must pass exams to drive a cab, have an understanding of arithmetic to keep budgets, know how to filI out tax forms and be capable of all the other necessary tasks related to routine employment. Bert Dejeet, the College's Department head for Academie Upgrading courses, explained, "Society is upgrading itself with the resuit that we have a restions- ibility to enable slow learners to become function ally literate to take their place in the work force." The College, for this level one programme (grade&. 1 to 5) has excellent materials for teaching adults. Students can start at any grade level and receive the required remediation on a "one-to-one" basis. The Encyclopedia Britannica reading Program and the University of Saskatchewan's Blade program for teaching English- speaking adults reading and arithmetic skills. At present level one is a part Of the overaîl Adult Training program. However Dr. Dejeet foresees a specialized facilîty for students with such learning disabilities, to meet anr rnraigneed- Mr. Dejieet em-phaslied that the success in the programi is hot only due to excellent teaching materials but also to the committed teachers who relate well to the, student, beariig in mind that personal problems relating to each situation. Besides developing thepractical skills, it is also of immeasurable emotional benefit. This program is yet another avenue whereby Durham College is making its contribu- tion to our citizens in the community.
