The centre is part-o!f a whole network that the federal government has set up across Canada. They have a resource centre in Toronto that backs them up in, the event that they do not have information that one may require. The program was supposed, to have a cutoff date of September 8 but Mrs. Merti said that if there are enough man hours left, and it looks as if there will be, they may go on until the end of September. Apar t from educating the public, the centre. is, in the process of s etting up programs such as a recycling depot and even getting the people to go into the centre and look over what they've got. Mrs. Mertl said that they are not trying to grab people and get them to make any sort of commitment but just to make them aware of the importance of energy conser- vation and the possibilities thtare available.' She said "Pe-3ple are just not as aware as they should )w Mrary be." ýent for Mrs. Mertl added that there aherseif are many people in the get of a commutiity who are Wh 5 concerned with energ conser- is there vation but there are alîso many i murder who are not.

Mrs. Merti said that most of the things they want to do are just in the planning stages as yet. She said they have so many ideas they want to carry through during the next four months that they don't know' where they are going to find the time. Region En&udorses Ban A resolution fromn the City of Stratford Ithat received New- castle town council support last week received regional endorsement on Wednesday. Stratford bas asked that the province of Ontario be re- uested to ban the sale of soft rinks in any non-refillable containers effective December 31, 1978. Regional Counillor Thompson argued against passage' of this. resolution stating Ulis was contrary to >the wishes o! the Association o! Small Municipalities in Ontario and that it did not appear to rectify the problem., " ýWhitby is asking for ail the bottles to be returned with a higher deposit charge," she said. I Councillor Bruce Taylor said that it didn't seemn to make any sense to hlm to charge more for something that couldn't be reused and was garbage. Council passed the resolu- 1tion without further debate. Although money fromn the office of Energy Conservation for Canada stops in Septem- ber, the aim of the centre is to get programs that conserve energy started with hopes that groups in the area will take them over and keep them going.

Mrs. Merti is a Bowmanville resident with a degree in 'biology and was previously a teacher of home economies at Pine Ridge Training School.

Apart from setting up many of the programis the conserva- tion centre is planning, Mrs Mertl finds herseif with the task of changing public opinion about the centre. She said'that she is aware that there is stili a misconception of how successful the centre has been.ï The conservation centre is for the entire town of Newcastle and is open from 9, to 5, Monday to Friday, and 10 to 4 on Saturdays.
