ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSIIAY, JUNE 18th, 1970 Report From Ottawa Russell C. Honey, Q.C., M.P. Northumberland - Durhiam Lasf week the Minister of In- dian Affairs -and Nortliern Devel- opment officially opened the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre. 1 want to write about fthe Centre la thîs lRe- port, in the hope it may encour- age some of my constituents- to travel the relatively short dist- ance to the Midfland.arera this sum- mer to visit thîs unique project. Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is the first of several centres that will eventually serve people al across Canada and many visitors to our country. Loeated four miles east of Midland on Georgian Bay, tlie Centre is a single storey brick and glass building containing a display hall, a theatre and work rooms. Naturalists explain how man has changed the marsh and the surrounding hardwood forest region. They also help visitors to see and understand wild nature. We planned this Centre to lielpý fi11 a need tliat is obvious to inost of us today. Every week our newspapers telli us of some new decline in the. quality of our en- vironment; every evening our tel- evision sets show us more evid- ence of man's destruction of lis world. The survival of man in an invivonn-ent fit for mani wi1il be as- sured only if the people under- stand tir ecologicalbasis of their lives. Man is now so numerous and his ability todestroy the pro- ductive surface of the earth lias become so enormous, that he is in danger of destroying the green vetrl~-d t',at lic needs if lie is to survive. MVore ecological under- standing must guide the use of our world. More ecological. infor- mation must reacli ail peuple. Wildlife Centres, suchi as Wye Marsli, are really ecology centres' communiceating this sort of infor- Oxford. IRICKLAYERS STONEMASONS WWLLE .

It is importantl that we keep Lhe lace of this carîli aliv,and wildlif e is an important part of this cartli. The passenger pigeonî is one of the xorld's best known (\ -ý-i, pies of wildlife that lias van- ished. Not long ago the SladGW'ý of their huge-flocks darkened -,his ground and tlie roam- of their migs drowned out ail othcr sound. Sometimes their flocks took a ftilI day to pass. To-day flot one of these birds remains alive and neyer again will we see even one passenger pigeon. The last one in Ontario was seen in 1902, at Penetanguishene just 6 miles from Wl e Marsh. The .pigeons were hardwood forest birds and the-i extinction is a local story that Wye Marsh Wildlife Centr-e should often repeat. The pigeons showed- that even super-abundant life on'this earth can vanish for- ever wlien, its environment is changed or when destruction be- cornes wanton. Wye, Marsh tells the story of Canada's lancfscape. nt will at- tract m'any tourists. t will make a very special effort to teach the ohildren who visit it with their toachers. Th e really important things to lie seen at this Centre will not be in side. The building and its contents are liere only to help us enjoy and understand tlie countryside, around it. Centres like tliis are a new idea. We live in changing times wlien governments must meet new challenfes with new iaws, with new kinds of management, and with new services. This Centre will hielp keep 'Canadians inform- ed about Canada, and show them how to keep Canada a productive and a pleasant place in whicli tg live. With the new cnncern for the quality of environhment, and with wliat we know of the mis- takes in the past, we can main- tain a liealthyr Canada - if we wish if to bc healthy. Report From îueens Park Alex Carruthers, M.P,P., Durhiam The Non Returnable Botties The non returnable bottie has been receiving considerable atten- tion of late both in the legisiatu re and in the press. As assistance in forming an opinion about its use it mnay be in order to exam-ine the various arguments both pro and con. (1) It has been said that the use of non returnable botties is a case 'of an industry trying to max- imize iis profit at the expense of the, taxpayers. This type of_ bottle has been readily accepted by the public and appears to be the answer of the bottie manufacturer to the stiff comfpetition from the manu- facturer of cans and plastic con- tainers. (2) Non returnable botties foi-m .2 to 1.1% of litter and tliis percentage is încreasing rapidly. Every year 100 million tires, 28 million bottles, 20 million tons of paper, and 48 billion caris are dis- carded by fhe public. If non re- turnable bottles are to be banned then the argument is advanced that ahl glass bottles and jars should be banned as well. 111 (3) T3he deposit on botties should be raised from two to five cents as an incentive for users to return a larger percentage.

As senitary land EHîltfli non returnable bot- ts'e appears f0 liave a consolidat- ing effect.i, The answer f0 tlie Problem is certainlynot a simple one, but one tliat cannot be ignored. Tlie' following suggestions could lead to at least a partial solution., (a) The adoption by tlie manu- facturer, flie retailer and tlie gev- ernment of an effectuai educa- fional program, (b) The use of tliis type of con- tainer in tlie production of con- struction material. (c) The establishiment by gov- ernment, of a deposit return sys- temn for ail containers. (d) A significant increase in fthe penalty forlittering. The disposal of waste is be- coming a serious problem for municipal±ies and intensive pro- grams of research are underway to find a solution. As part of this, programn an to further control sourc-es of pollution, legisiation is beilig enaoted to provide greater control over the location and op- eration of waste disposai sites. Chaige nov.
