Jane read a "Remembrance "Remembrance Day a sombre Occasion" Occasion" by Ray Sonin. - A part of the reading was Our Remembrance Remembrance Day used to be called Armistice Day.

Now our younger folks don't know too much of this as not too many are that interested interested in history and it's hard for the younger generations generations to appreciate the full truth of war at least in our country (Canada).

Blanche introduced the guest speaker Ms. Glenda Gieds - director of the Durham Durham Recycling Centre at Whitby. Ms. Gieds spoke before her slides . She told of the start of the program when three people and one truck proved that recycling can make a difference in reducing reducing the amount of garbage. Recycling will give everyone everyone a chance to take a stand for a cleaner, healthier way oflife. Recycling provides for longer term of life of a landfill landfill site, it reduces solid waste, and saves about 17 trees for every ton of baled newspapers. The Centre can bale newspaper that is sold to a de-inking plant near Thorold Ontario. The cans are separated separated - aluminum from steel by a conveyor belt and staff and are baled and sent to Stelco and the glass that is dumped outside of their warehouse in Whitby is crushed and delivered to Dom Glass. Ms. Gieds showed slides that were very informative. She mentioned that a plant "Atlantic Packaging" is building a plant for newspaper newspaper recycling which will provide provide a local market for the newspapers. She encouraged questions and stated that it is everyone's everyone's battle against garbage dumps. So far, plastic is one type of material we should buy as little of as possible, as there are many different types of material used that just are not recycleable - at least not yet. Disposing of our garbage doesn't just happen, it has to have the co-operation of all of us and then the Recycling Centre goes to work for usv Their buyers can reproduce and that in turn helps all of us.

Deepest sympathy sympathy is extended to the family family - Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sisson Sisson (who were on holiday in Florida) and their girls and families and to Mrs. Clare Sisson, her sons and their wives and her daughter as well. When you get 18 interested interested and public spirited citizens citizens offering their services for 7 positions, it is obvious that there are going to be many more losers than winners winners when the votes are counted. Since we were among the fortunate ones, it behooves not to pass comment comment on the election results but rather to express our gratitude to the electors for treating us so kindly and permitting us to top the polls for Councillor in Manvers. Such support is very humbling humbling ana arouses a keen sense of responsibility to those who elected us. We extend extend congratulations to the favoured few elected and condolences to those who were unsuccessful this time in fulfilling, their, civic ambitions. ambitions. • (Enclosed find a copy of Manvers Twsp. return to be utilized as deserved.) - a copy in the Newcastle Independent might be appreciated appreciated by those who receive receive it throughout our township.
