Brun ton Community Services Officer WELFARE ROLL CUT SHARPLY IN JUNE A sharp decline in the number of employable people receiving welfare in June has been recorded by the Durham Region social services department. department. According to figures released released Thursday, there were 1,168 employable people receiving welfare in June, compared to 1,613 in May. 1975.

Region approves work activities Approval was given to a proposed work activities project project designed to help reduce the region's welfare rolls by regional council Wednesday following lengthy debate. However, the exercise may have been in vain as Coun. John Goodwin, Whitby gave notice he would ask for reconsideration of that decision decision at council's next regular meeting. His objection to the project and reason for the reconsideration reconsideration request was based on the fact the program calls for the hiring of three additional members of staff to administer administer it. The project was recommended recommended to council by the region's social services committee. committee. The project's cost could be taken from the general welfare assistance budget the committee proposed. proposed. Coun. Ruth Bestwick, Osh- awa, committee chairman, said the project would cost the region about $10,000, although the total cost would be approximately $146,000. the project, said Coun. Bestwick, was eligible for an 80 percent subsidy from the provincial government. Coun. George Ashe, Pickering, Pickering, objected to the project because he said it had been delt with before It had been cut from the social services portion of the regional budget seven weeks ago. and its re-introduction "negates the whole budget process," he said. Coun. Ashe recalled "it was the committee itself that withdrew the program when it was cutting its own budget. Garbage is coming up roses. Twenty years from now, crops growing on recycled garbage will be an everyday sight. ; That's pretty hard to imagine right now because most of us think of garbage as j ust that - garbage. But in fact, it's a potential resource. And the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is harnessing it How does it happen? By recycling. Garbage will be . taken to recycling centres where it will be shredded, separated, and ■ some of it, turned into fertile soil to revitalize revitalize barren areas of the province. The same basic shredding and separating process will also produce fuel, paper, cardboard, metals. And we've just begun to explore the possible end uses of garbage. The system: step by step. A centre for advanced research will come up with many more. Where is it happening? Our Ministry has already inaugurated Ontario's first recycling centre in North York. In the next two years, similar centres will be built to serve London, Sudbury, Peel, Halton, Metro Toronto and south eastern Ontario. In 15 years there will be recycling centres all across the province to handle 90 per cent of Ontario's garbage - everything from abandoned cars to organic waste. Why recycle? Because the people of Ontario -all of us-pile up garbage at three times the rate that the population increases. The Ministry is working on ways to reduce that amount, but well always have garbage. And we're having trouble finding places to put it and the landfill to cover it. Once garbage is being recycled, those problems will be over. But more important than the dumping problems, we're literally throwing away valuable resources with every ton of garbage we discard. . In a community of 100,000, . garbage recycling will conserve the equivalent of up to 3,500,000 gallons of fuel oil a year, 3,600 tons of reclaimed steel, 4,500 tons of glass. Our recycling program is considered one of the most advanced in the world. It's a commitment to a different way of living. And the whole world will be watching ,y, Ontario's garbage come up roses.
