And politicians have fallen over themselves objecting to a Metro dump in the town, although some have said that Newcastle should be willing to house a dump for Durham garbage if it meets stringent environmental standards.

And there are already indications that the public is catching on to the virtues summed up by the four words which have become the slogan for a conservation-oriented society. | Those words are: "reduce, reuse, recycle and recover". Helen MacDonald, a co-ordinator of the Recycling Week activities, believes believes that consumers have to start looking at life a little more like our.~ pioneer grandparents did. They recycled recycled almost everything. "Back then, tney didn't have the money to waste," she explained. "We don't nave the land or the resources to waste." A number of progressive steps have been taken in favor of the recycling philosophy. The Durham Region has made a commitment to recycle one-quarter of all garbage by the year 1993. Metro Toronto has launched its blue-box curbside recycling program. And in the Durham Region, 14 per . cent of residential garbage is being recycled now. These efforts are, however, just the beginning according to Mrs. MacDo- Newcastle residents may continue to have more than three dogs per household, but only for the time being. Council decidea Monday to table the proposed by-law that would limit the number of dogs allowed per house- DgS hold to three. The limitation would have applied to properties in residential, residential, commercial, or industrial zones. Council delayed its dog licence bylaw bylaw after a delegate to Monday's council meeting voiced her concerns about the proposed restriction. Annette Iliffe owns eight dogs and said she doesn't think she should be forced to move out of the municipality to continue owning them. Councillor Diane Hamre said she had received a call from another resident resident who had similar concerns. She suggested the by-law be tabled to allow concerned residents to meet with council to discuss the restriction. restriction. In this way, the wise consumer can avoid producing some types of garbage garbage altogether. Disposable diapers are a case in point. Mrs. Elston estimates that between between 300,000 and 500,000 diapers go into the Metro Toronto garbage each day. And the diapers take upwards of 200 years to disintegrate. Rather than buying a product which pollutes the environment to this extent, it's better to use bio-degradable Turn to Page 2 Cj. TV OF OPENING - Anyone who attended the official opening of the Bowmanville Recreation Complex on Sunday and might like to see it again will be happy to know a Cable TV Channel 10 rerun will be available Thursday, Nov. 10 at 5:30 p.m. and Monday at 2 p.m. This time you may also may be able to hear what the various speakers, including Don Cherry, said. The sound system developed a bad cold or something during during the actual event, so the packed house received a garbled reception over the speakers. BAKE SALE - An urgent message has just been received received concerning a Bake Sale from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. a week from Thursday, Nov. 17th. That's at the Toronto Dominion Bank on Temperance Street, opposite the cenotaph. The nice part of this sale is that all the proceeds proceeds will be handed over to the United Way fund raising raising campaign to help that organization reach and surpass surpass its objective. Reports from earlier bake sales by these public spirited bankers say they are doggone good cooks in their spare time. They must be to dispose of all their goodies in two hours. Lend a hand, please, they deserve some help with this project. Who knows, the next time you need a loan, they'll remember. ALL CANDIDATES - There's a hot municipal election under way in the Township of Scugog, especially for the mayor's job. One candidate showed up at a meeting with his speech pasted to the back of a shovel and he also brought along a broom to clean things up. This one like many others is also mixed up with the federal election only a week apart. Last week, former Agricultural Agricultural Minister Hon. Eugene Whelan spoke for more than an hour in support of Liberal candidate Doug Moffatt and on Wednesday, Nov. 16th, there will be an All Federal Candidates meeting in Newcastle Village Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. It'll soon be oyer, folks. Relax and have faith, the country will survive. INCREDIBLE MIKE - Once again this area will have the opportunity of being entertained by the incredible Mike Mandel. Maybe some of the politicians could use his talents forgathering in votes. Anyway, the Bowmanville Bowmanville Toro Midget hockey team that will be heading for Europe this December is raising expense funds by hosting hosting a performance by Mike the Mcntalist at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School on Saturday, Nov. 19th at 8 p.m. There's a special price for advance sale tickets.

More details can be obtained from Arlene Malcolm at 986-4409 or Carole Hill 986-4354. Final delivery of items must be made by November 14th. GREAT EFFORT - Much praise should also be accorded accorded to retiring Mayor Jerry Taylor of Scugog Township Township who is doing a tremendous job as head of the fund-raising for Port Perry's Community Hospital. The $2 million project has already passed the $1 million million mark and it is just nicely under way. He's doing a similar job on their hospital fund to the one Garnet Rickard has been doing for Skate '88. Seems you just can't beat old politicians when it comes to community improvement involvement. They just keep working to make things better. WRONG TIME - Somehow we published the incorrect time last week for senior citizens to attend the Free Rehearsal show at the Bowmanville High School on Nov. 22nd for the Drama Workshop's production of "A Voyage Round My Father." We said 8:30 but it should have read 7:00 p.m. Paying customers will attend at 8:15 on either Nov. 24, 25, or 26th. ing one of them as mayor.
