Habit #6 - Reducing is a real challenge that we all need to rise to, in our own way and at our own rate. Some will throw the aluminum foil away immediate- ly, others will phase it out of their lives. In so doing let us not induce guilt in each other, gentle prod- ding yes but not guilt. We will all make compromises, but hopeful- ly we will all reach the same goal as soon as possible - far less garbage. These habits have each been submitted by Ellie Martyn. 1st Religious - 2nd Story Book - 3rd Humourous - 4th All Around - - WINNERS OF TROPHIES - Myrtle United Church Sunday School Pied Piper, Zero Garbage Ward 4, Scugog 1st Port Perry Cubs & Scouts Hiryu Bushido Kai of Port Perry Winners may pick up their trophy at Wendy's Boutique, 180 Mary St., Port Perry Many thanks to everyone for their support and to all the spectators who attended.

Indeed it's the only thing that ever has. (Margaret Mead). The students and staff had a busy and exciting recycling week. On Monday we began with '"Garbageless lunches." Thank you to the parents and students for making wise choices. The children are beginning to question items in their lunches that are over packaged. Mrs. Bailey our custodian reports a 50% reduction in garbage after lunchtime. We will try to increase that percen- tage even more! C.C.P.S. also has two composters that are kept well fed at noon with cores, peels, cof- fee grounds etc. On Tuesday the children wrote songs and poems about the state of our environment. These will be used on our P.A. system each morning. On Wednesday various classes wrote letters to Premier Bob Rae, Mrs. Grier Minister of the En- vironment and other important people. On Thursday some children brought in items that had been reused or recycled to show others. On Saturday approximately 25 students participated in the Port Perry Santa Claus parade dress- ed as blue boxes and composters. They accompanied the Zero Gar- bage Float entitled "You Can Make A Difference." On Monday, November 26, 1990 each student made one promise to the world. These will be displayed in our front hall. Did you know that we also recy- cle bottles and cans at our school? We are also collecting fine paper to recycle. Did you know that we are get- ting blue boxes for our rooms" Did you know that C.C.P.S. does not pick up for cans, bottles, fine paper, etc. They do however make it to the transfer station. Recycling week will be every week at C.C.P.S.. Never doubt that these future citizens must change the world. These children must teach their parents well. Morning Unit U.C.W. On November 21, the morning unit of the U.C.W. met at the home of Kathleen Dorrell. Friend- ly chit chat accompanied our delicious brunch of quiche and muffins. Unit leader Peggy Larmer opened the meeting with some thoughts on living our best today as we cannot change yesterday. The minutes of the October meeting were read and adopted. The treasurer reported that the envelope givings; $118.00 for September and $104.00 for Oc- tober had been handed to the general treasurer. A letter of thanks was read from Oney Gould, thanking the unit for the flower arrangement that had been sent to her. She issued a warm invitation to all her friends to visit her in London, Ontario. Peggy Larmer asked for volunteers to answer the SOS for food and help for the tractor pull dinner. The number to be fed had increased from 135 to 195. She also reminded us that we were responsible for the dessert at the general meeting on November 28. Our Christmas meeting will be held at the home of unit leader Peggy Larmer. Meeting will begin 1 hour later than usual at 10:30 a.m. & lunch will be strict- ly pot luck. Eleanor Werry had charge of the worship which was a com- parison of the shelter we find from the chilly winds of winter and the secure shelter that faith gives us to survive the crises in our lives. The offering was received and dedicated. Anita David had charge of the programme for which Eleanor's worship had been a splendid sary a success introduction. Anita started with a quick brainstorming session of what our perceptions were of a poverty stricken woman. This was followed by a video which told the story of three women who became poverty stricken. Three different stories - three similar stories. . STORY #1: This was a story of a woman who had been required to leave her job as a bookkeeper when she got married in the ear- ly 50's. When she was suddenly widowed at age 43, she was unable to find a job to supplement the small insurance policy that her husband had left her. Finally she capitalized on her sewing hob- by and established her own business. Although it was never very lucrative it allowed her to support her children with dignity. STORY #2: The woman in the second story had spent much of her childhood in foster homes because of difficulties in her fami- ly. She married and had two children and gradually began to see the situation that had been in her own family developing. She took her two children and left her husband. With the help of student loans and welfare she went back to school and earned a degree in Social Sciences. Now her work is involved in helping tenants and she has written a book on homelessness based on her own experiences. STORY #3: This was the story of a native Canadian who had lost her status when she married off the reserve. When her marriage broke down she had nothing. She worked at developing her skills as a typist and with the help of welfare and student loans, enroll- ed at Trent University and achieved a degree in economics. She has now returned to the Rama Reserve where her ambi- tion is to help Native Canadians to have positive thoughts and realize their own strengths. Being poor is not a character flaw. It is a failure in our social system, housing system, family system, legal system and our community. Our meeting closed with the benediction.
