"A worn out car aban- doned at the roadside.or in a field becomes an. unsightly blot on the landscape' Premier William Davis. The good people of Reach Township should invite the Premier to visit their land- scape. Thanks to an enter- prising Manchester -busin- essman there are no worn out cars in fields blotting the townships landscape. Al Evans, of Al's Super- test, has been picking up discarded vehicles from around the township for the past four years. "I must have fetched in about 300 cars in that time," Al says. Ontario Environment Minister James Auld esti- mates that there are about 400,000 dead cars rotting in fields across the province. Mr, Auld says that the province is considering leg- islation which will give the province power to remove the corpses and maybe charge the land owners a fee for disposal. Al Evans charges no fee. In faet, in most cases, he pays the farmer a 'nominal fee for the junk and still makes a small profit by recycling the metal. When- ever he has enough dead cars to make a load he piles them on his tractor trailer and waits for the price of scrap to go up to where it is worthwhile to haul the re-. mains away, then heads for the nearest scrap dealer. Now, with the blessing of Reach Township Council, he has applied for a wreckers Keeping it clean J Silly season so soon? . . . season. come early this year. nature. horses don't. quality are not disturbed. embarrassing thing. with Bill Dodds In the dead of summer, when hard news falls off and everyone who makes interesting feature material is out of town, comes the time known as the silly That's when newspapers and magazines reach for the ridiculous to entertain their readers. It must have I just heard that horses used for logging in the immediate area of Oregon's Bull Run Reservoir, are wearing diapers. The diapers are to keep the animals from fouling the watershed when they feel a call of You see, they have to use horses to log in that particular area. The machines that are used generally in the logging industry tend to churn up the earth and With diapers on the horses, the soil and the water + Our Oregon correspondent forgot to ask them, but I'll bet that the horses are disturbed by the whole On the other hand, the diaper approach might solve some of the controversy that keeps cropping up in cities like Toronto over dogs. You can count on regular complaints in the letters to the editor columns from people who object to having their front lawns used as public canine conveniences. And there is a real hostility to people who walk their dogs to neighbors lawns. It's solid enough for Tom Hughes of the Ontario Humane Society to take an editorial stand in the society publication Animals Voice. His plea is to animal owners to curb their pets and keep them from being a nuisance, solving problems without legislation. In Britain, legislation has been passed requiring dog owners to remove what his dog leaves behind. In some U.S. cities, the owner is required to grab his dog and thrust the offending end in the direction of the gutter when an offense is imminent. I'd hate to see that happen in Ontario. We have enough serious things to take care of in restoring and protecting the air, land and water. But Keeping it Clean has been serious for the past few weeks. It's time to look at,the light side.

Al recalls taking 30 cars off one farm a while ago. He says he spotted one car from the road and offered to buy it. When it was loaded on his truck the farmer took him through a clump of trees, pointed to a literal grave yard of dead cars and asked, "What will you give me for these?" Al took them all. Environment Minister James Auld has commented that it is fairly easy to enforce laws against air and water pollution.
