Spicer started ber new job Nov. 3 and for the first week or two she has been catching up on paperwork. But after those first few weeks, look out. She wil.be contacting many businesses in the Whitby area to remind them of first-aid training for their 'em- ployees. Spicer points out that the amount of training needed depends on the type of company. For exampie, a person who works in a pizzeria will R ezo ning for dry cleaners approved Whitby council will consider a rezoning to permit a dry cleaning business in a Dundas St. W. plaza once approval of a garbage enclosure bas been given by the public works depar- tment.

Another nearby resident, Sylvia Blackwell, asked if tihe business would pollute the creek south of the property., Administrative com- mittee chairman Joe Bugelli said at tbe meeting tbat the proposed uses would not poilute the creek.

The garbage en- closure will only allow access by, authorized personnel. The garbage container, for use by al tenants of the plaza, is to be located in the soutbwest corner of the plaza.
