During corr ¥vespordance family and the Ode and It clean The magic recycler . . . Sooner or later, one of the magnificent men with the magic machines is going to discover recycling. And, I'm afraid, it will probably happen here. Some of the world's greatest swindlers and ¢on men, with their smooth talk and ingenious devices, came from Canada. And a good con man can sell his line to anybody. One man with a gasoline pill fraud almost took the shrewdest businessman of his day -- an auto magnate whose name was a household word. The only reason he didn't was that a chemical magnate, whose name was almost equally prominent, bit first and bought the fraud artist's useless invention -- an engine that, he claimed, ran on water and a tiny pill. The energy crisis has brought a revival of the magic carburetor rumour -- the persisting story of a carburetor that will deliver 100 or 200 miles per gallon of gasoline. These contraptions, in legend, were all bought up by big oil interests of the big auto makers and destroyed. We're ripe right now for a similar fraud in the recycling sphere. The problem is that so many people want recyleing, to dispose of garbage in a way that doesn't use anyone's 'land -and that doesn't cause problems. And we're all hooked on the idea of something for nothing -- energy and raw material re- good deal of sickness within the membership, and we do Anglican wish one and all better December with 19 present. health soon. Summary Day Program in The Local Leaders connection with this course with Bill Dodds claimed for practically nothing from our waste products. It's a great dream -- a dream most of us share. But it is a dream, not a reality at this stage. Unfortunately, all of us prefer dreams to reality. We find it hard to accept the hard truth that you can't get something for nothing. We find it hard to accept that waste treatment processes, waste separation processes and waste marketing must be developed. We see a small volunteer paper, metal and glass reclamation scheme working for a period of time, and we leap to the conclusion that it will work on a large scale, everywhere. i We hear of a provincial experiment in recyling, or burning waste to produce electrical power, and we assume that this should be put into operation on a wholesale basis. We want too much, too soon. Somewhere, I'm afraid, a smooth talking indivi- dual is refining a glittering and impressive contraption and polishing up a sales pitch. He'll be upon us any day now, preaching garbage as the answer to perpetual motion, and asking us to invest in his fantasies. If we don't keep our wishes and hopes down to earth, some of us are going to get taken in and all of us are going to lose. cessful and was held in the Church Hall will attend. A good program has been planned. Contact Marion Bell 985-2419 if able to go and transportation will be pro- vided. ' The Spring project chosen for 4-H Homemaking Clubs will be "Clothes for Leisure." This course deals with knowledge fabrics and 'construction methods, and if a girl wishes to make a useful garment this course has much to offer. It also allows for expression of creative talents and provides a means of making a garment at a reasonable cost. So whatever the 4-H members needs and interests are the Spring project should be of interest to her. The 4-H Leaders Training School will be held in the Anglican Church Hall, Port Perry, Feb. 5 - 6th, 10 am. - 4 p.m. A lucky luncheon will be held in the Oddfellows Hall, Brooklin, Jan. 28th -1 p.m. a fund raising project for Ontario South District as the 75th anniversary of the district as the 75th anniver- sary of the district will be observed in May.

Mrs. Owen has been a fine member of Honeydale Br. for a number of years. Members 'are planning a Bazaar or some such project for Spring. Please give this matter some thought before the Feb. meeting, so that date can be set. Mrs. Irene Whitfield took the chair for the programme, and spoke to the motto, "The excuse has been classed as the most worhtless of all human inventions." The White Elephant Sale was entertaining as well as profitable and the auctioneer Clara Warren was tremend- dous. We wonder when Clara will be hanging out her shingle!
