Finally, they are packaged packaged for export. At the flower bulb exchange exchange in Holland (which looks like a miniature version version of the New York stock exchange), the prices and destinations of the bulbs are determined. Although the exchange exchange is open year round, the busiest time is in the early early fall, before planting time.

Jim Bradley, MPP Minister of the Environment, Environment, 15th Floor, 135 St. Clair Ave.W., Toronto, Ontario. M4V1P5 Dear Mr. Bradley, As residents of Newcastle village, we are writing in opposition opposition to Metro Toronto's proposed 'dump sites', N3 and N4. N4, the Laidlaw site near Newtonville, has twice been rejected for expansion by environmental assessment assessment act regulations. Metro consultants, in their wisdom have applied for exemptions to the É.A.A.- please deny these requests and stop permanently permanently any attempts to enlarge the site. Of more concern to us, is N3, which stretches from 401 right to the shores of Lake Ontario and covers approximately approximately 1,300 acres of very productive farmland. Surely displacing farmers (some fifth generation) from their fertile homesteads is a backward step for Ontario. Even more important, the desecration of Lake Ontario shoreline, with its lovely views and vistas, enjoyed by walkers, bikers, Sunday drivers and boatsmen, is ludicrous! ludicrous! Why do we constantly constantly abuse our lakes and waterways? There needs to be immediate immediate action to help all municipalities municipalities begin the battle to decrease their garbage output. output. Not until Metro residents residents take responsibility for their own garbage, will they make any effort to limit its amount. This is one time we don't want to be good neighbours. neighbours. We would suggest that the following steps be immediately immediately taken: 1. Recycling efforts to be increased. 2. All industries reduce the excessive amount of packaging that compounds the problem. (Is legislation required?). 3. A 200-300% increase in cost to dump per ton, for. only when it nits the taxpayers' taxpayers' pocketbook will any effort effort be made to resolve the problem. 4. Public education programs programs are imperative. In conclusion, don't permit permit this desecration of lake- shore property, rather serve the idiom "Keep Ontario Beautiful". We fear for our children's world - Acid rain, gross pollution of air and water, the greenhouse effect - we must move quickly to combat what is fast becoming becoming a ticking time bomb. The garbage issue is a good place to start! Sincerely, Melanie and Rod McArthur. McArthur. iC Æ W y 40 LOVE! FOR HEALTHY LUNGS.

He is part of the fifth gene ration in nis family business of exporting exporting flower bulbs. The family business started in Holland in 1868.

Last year alone. Holland exported around $600 million million of bulbs. These bulbs were sold through feed and seed stores, garden centres, supermarkets and by mail - on six continents. Mr. de dagger showed the Rotary club a colorful video tape all about his business. The tape showed the famous famous tulip fields of Holland and the different steps to their eventual harvest. The flower heads are mechanically mechanically removed once they have reached full maturity. The petals from the tulips, al though useless to the farmer, are often strung together and serve as decorations for tour buses and parade floats in April and May. The removal of the flowei head strengthens the bulb and Robert recommends er, then greenhouse planting them after calculating when we need the flowers." The film went on to praise the Dutch tulip that "softens New York's harsh structures, highlights Madrid's baroque architecture and brings spring to Vienna in December December for their famous Christmas Christmas concert " Paul Morris Something To Think About EMBALMING FACTS Many people misunderstand the process of embalming. They think it is a long-term preservation preservation method, something akin to mummification or suspended suspended animation, and that it will preserve the body for hundreds hundreds of years. This is simply not the case. Embalming is merely a temporary measure, designed to preserve the body intact throughout the period of the funeral. In most provinces a corpse must be embalmed: 1) when the body is to be transported a long distance, or by common carrier; 2) when the deceased has died from a highly contagious disease; 3) when being transported across provincial or federal borders. Aside from these mandatory requirements, there are other reasons for having a body embalmed. embalmed. Many people draw comfort from seeing a loved one for the last time. Some insist insist that seeing the body helps the mourning process. In some religions, it is a mandatory part of the burial ceremony to put the body on display. In such cases, the body must be embalmed. embalmed.
