Waste Man agement Commit tee is an expression of sheer frustration at the broken pro mise of a firm commitment by Hal ton Council to any program of resource recovery For all taxpayers In Italian who want the reduction and reuse of garbage as opposed to wholesale dumping Mr Man admission that a close- up observation to him Haltnn Region docs not view new methods of garbage man as a priority tan

October 1979 and that coupled with Cambodia own partial rice harvest in December has provided adequate nourishment for the people at least untii the end of April After that Cambodia will again be

seeds Fertilizers and agricultural tools in time for the spring planting Unless these reach the provincial capitals quickly the new crop will not be planted before the onset of the summer monsoons and

camps on Thai border and where there is a severe shortage of experienced leadership after the mass killings during the Pol Pot regime In this complex and volatile situation there was at first quite distrust on the part of Cambodians for what was perceived to be possible intervention This combined the lack of dock facilities roads trains trucks gasoline and even drivers as well as the lack of communication and admint facilities made it unrealistic to expect to proceed with Western efficiency But according to Louis special Correspondent with the Christian Science Monitor An atmosphere of confidence has gradually developed And he credits the UniccfRed Cross relief operation with averting the full potential effect of the disaster mainly because it succeeded In is oh I itself from

larger issue is one of the public being used or misused on an issue to which scores of taxpayers have devoted countless hours of work in the past five years The Region should rcahic lhit public funds
