How you dispose of them is very im- portant because they pose potential health problems to waste collectors, people liv- ing near landfill sites and those exposed to the ex- haust from incinerators they are burned in. Introduced by Ontario En- vironment Minister Jim Bradley, the program arose out of a pilot project in Waterloo called 'Disposal Special Waste Day". The in- terest shown by other municipalities in the suc- cess of that project has led to the new three part pro- gram. The program includes a public awareness cam- paign, funds for Blood pressure clinic Friday Anyone finding himself in Mountainview Mall this Fri- day afternoon or evening can have his blood pressure measured by nurses.

Ontario municipalities should receive mailings from the ministry in the next week or two outlining the program. 'We do hope for a good response," says John Smart, Industrial Waste Specialist with the Ministry. He ex- pects plans for running the program in interested municipalities will begin within the next few months. As part of the program the ministry will make infor- mation available for distribution to schools, public service clubs and households describing pro- ducts that should be dispos- ed of with special precau- regular customers Brent and Courtney Henderson.

The chemical grass killer has been declared dangerous to public health. Ministry of Agriculture and Food representative Clint Nesbitt says alachlor was banned last year as well, but the ban was lifted after Monsanto, the com- pany producing the chemical, made a request to the federal government becauSe of the abundance of alachlor in stores. Nesbitt adds the federal government and an impar- tial reviewing committee are reviewing the decision to ban the herbicide. -The powder chemical, which is mixed with water and sprayed on corn and soybean crops, is one less tool the Canadian farmer has to work with than American and European farmers. "We're competing in a large North American market," says Nesbitt. "Other herbicides are available to do the same job alachlor did, but they cost considerably more." Ken Parnell, president of the Simcoe County Soil and Crop Improvement Associa- tion also thinks the ban is an unfair blow dealt to Cana- dian farmers all the way from Toronto to They didn't catch anything not fair The fact that farmers from other countries are allowed to use alachlor to improve their crops gives Canadian farmers a disad- vantage on the world market. Both Parnell and Nesbitt think public protection against this chemical is im- portant, but its use to con- trol unwanted grass in corn- fields is also important to farmers' incomes.
