The enthusiastie response and rewarding resuits from centres in Ontario will ensure the widespread adoption of the recycling concept. Already,,there's a citywide eurbside monthly pickutp pro- gramn in SL Catherines, WÇýelland, Fonthili and Port CoihorneL .A trial test is being reviewed by the Niagara City Counceil, and efforts are being intensýified with volunteer groups, including boy scouts, in schools and churches. Curbside collection prograins will soon operate in comnmun- ities throughout the Niagara region. Ottawa's Provincial Sanita- tion, a private company, in- corporated resource recovery into its municipal waste dis- posai contract. It operates a cuirbside collection oif news- paper and hias begun a trial, six-mnth curbside pick-up of mnetai cans and glass bottles and jars in one sectioni of the ecity.

These 16 to 24 ye(ar olds were given an oýpportuniiitv to hold responsible jobs anld to be part of a large *scale recydling project Over the past several years, Consumer's Glass and Dom- glas, two of Canada's largest lass manrufacturers, have built up their use of waste glass as a raw. material in new glass manufacturing. Glass recovery is expected to become more viable i Ontario as the demnand and price rise. The recycling of used asphait on a commercial scalle lis also gaining momnentum. To date, 1l7 reprocessing plants in-Ont- ario are equipped to recycle used surfacing material into fresh, hot mix asphaît. It's predicted that, within five vears, asphaît recycling could reduce the ainounit of new asphaît produced by up to 20 per cent a year. One of the iffit visible and, perhaps, most successfui re- cyceling projects belongs to the Ontario Paper Recycling Imc, of Thorold. The company has organized a waste newspaper collection throughout Ontario to feed its unique, first-in-Canada de- inking plant. This de-inking plant is based on the washing principle - Bmetter breathing course available If you have difficolty breathing because of severe asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema, register now, for Durham Region Lung Association's Better Breathing Course in Oshawa.

The only day course by the University is cultural studies. It has been pointed out that one of the attractions to Durham residents is the short travelling timne to Trent in Peterborough and the smail enrolment of students, about 2,100, which ailows for per- sonal attention.

Oper- ations began a year ago, and ifs expected that by 1984 and thereafter, the miii wîll be recycling 100,000 tons of oid newspapers annually. That's enough to fil a 15- storey building the size of a football field. Recy ding newsprint also conserves energy. One ton of newspapers yieids the same amount of papermnaking fibre thea On tarit as part of Energy Ontario as 17 trees. Ontario Paper's annual reqîuirementof 100,000 tons produces fibre equal to 110 square miles of forests. 1 Anid, ;t takes only 30 per .cent as much energy to produce 1filbre from old newspapers as fr-om pulpwood logs or chips. A i his is certainly good news., and happfily, somie of it"s reflced. For more information,. write to Energyscope, G.M.S. Box 37, Queen's Park, Toronto, M7A 2B7.
