In an editorial in the August issue, the magazine, the only Canadian publication devoted exâ€" clusively to the problem of pollution, states: ‘"Projects designed to reduce sludge, or handle and dispose of it, hardly seem enough to meet today‘s demands, let alone tomorrow‘s". And, tomorrow, according to WPC, means an annual sludge production of 9 million tons by 1976. This figure only includes Water and â€" Pollution Control magazine states the disposal _ of _ chemical "sludge" the mudâ€"like byâ€" product from phosphate removal processes will be a tremendous problem. It accuses the Ontario Water Resources Commission of not conducting sufficient research into this area. By 1975, some 200 Ontario municipalities that are under government orders to install phosphate removal facjlities may find they have tr&olluted water for equally Dad problemis of air and soil pollution. Antiâ€"pollutants pollution problem phosphates and alkalinity that will be removed during the chemical cleaning process. It does not include sludge produced by normal biological sewage treatment or the sludge that will be produced by 1,100 acres of lagoons scattered across the province, if they are conâ€" verted to the chemical treatment of phosphates. "We don‘t know the long term effects of disposing of chemical precipitation sludges. And, yet as far as our enquiries could make out, there is only one project researching sludge disposal in the whole of Ontario‘, the editorial states. The majority of research into phosphate removal has gone into what chemicals to use and little thought has gone into finding adequate answers for what happens to the sludge, the editorial continues. ‘"Some members of the OWRC feel there isn‘t a ‘problem‘ and that this sludge can be disposed of adequately. Perhaps it can, but many people outside the commission see nine million tons as a headache‘", notes the magazine. Water and Pollution Control says 9% million tons sludge would cover all of Metro Toronto to a depth of half an incheach year. On a per capita basis it works out at 6‘ lbs. of sludge per person, per day. "It may be of interest to note‘‘, points out the magazine, "that we now produce 5 lbs. of bulk garâ€" bage per person per day â€" and that‘s considered a problem". The editorial states that incineration of the waste could cause air pollution and that sludge used for landfill could put toxic chemicals into the soil which may eventually work their way back into the groundwaters. One solution may lie in the ability of Ontario‘s new department of environment to clarify the problem of sludge â€" desposal which currently overlaps . the jurisdiction of the OWRC, waste management and agricultural / departments. Completion of the sale of Eaton Hall Farm to Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology was announced today by The T. Eaton Company and the College. The 696â€"acre property will now become a third major campus for Seneca, which now operates at two other locationsâ€"Sheppard Avenue at Yonge Street, and Finch Avenue near Woodbine. The college expects to enrol 3,200 fullâ€"time day students and 3,800 partâ€"time students this fall.

At ceremonies marking the closing of the tranâ€" saction, John Craig Eaton, Chairman of the Board of Eaton‘s of Canada, stated that he believed Lady Eaton, his grandmother, would have been pleased that the property is to remain intact and is to be used for educational purposes. Mr. N. Garriock, Chairâ€" man of Seneca‘s Board of Governors, said the new campus will be ideally suited to serve expanding educational needs of a growing population in the Regional Municipality of York. _ ~"(Wo Te u/dsmob//es @na Cheo vro/et Trucks 7 Oup daos; *~ (****~ _ Senior mss citizens n in l//'tat/bn 23 & two Everybody talks about the dangers of individuals becoming just statistics but now the North York library is giving you an opportunity to do something about this "cipher syndrome". According to the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, 78 hunters in Onâ€" tario were injured in acâ€" cidents involving firearms, eight of them fatally, in 1970. Another 19 people were casualties in nonâ€"hunting accidents, two of whom died. These accidents involves all ages from 9 to 71, and all types of common firearms. Since more than half of these occured during the months of October and November, the Willowdale UNITED APPEAL Until Mrs. Renee Edwards of the Young Women‘s Christian Association got into the act, there was no one in Metropolitan Toronto going out to help women with children but no husbands. Thanks to a special grant from the United Appeal, Mrs. Edwards could be hired as a partâ€"time social worker to seek out these women and to help them get more out of life. In V/.Ied ‘‘Some of them are living a desperate and lonely life," says Mrs. Edwards. "A lot of them are from out of town, they have no friends, their children tie them down so they can‘t take a job, and most of them don‘t even know what help is available to them." Primarily, Mrs. Edwards encourages the girls â€" and some of them are under twenty â€" to find partâ€"time The Senior Citizen‘s Club of Weston, under the very able supervision of president Edna Barrett and her executive, enjoyed an exâ€" cellent day at Niagara Falls on Thursday, September 16. Members were taken on a beautiful trip to see some of the finest scery on the continent after which they spent the day viewing the falls and _ surrounding parklands. At 4: 45 p.m. they moved on to the Niagara Falls Anglican Church for a lovely meal that was enjoyed by all. The return journey to Weston got the senior citizens back around 8 p.m. Members are requested to remember the special church service at St. John‘s Anglican Church at 6:30 p.m. this Sunday, September 26, and the trip to Haliburton scheduled for October 13. visit the Falls Lessons on firearm safety Help for mothers Area Branch of the North York Public Library, 5126 Yonge St., is presenting a oneâ€"shot programme on ‘‘Safe Hunting" on Saturday, September 25th at 11:00 a.m. Lou J.

If they earn more than that, they are allowed to keep only 25 per cent of it. This means they can work only one or two days a week, and the number of opportunities to work so few hours are not plentiful. This course, one morning only, is free to anyone, novice or experienced, male or female, who is interested. We have meetings every week," says Mrs. Edwards.
