Recycling News The special two month pilot project for the collection of' plastic bottles for recycling ended June 27th, Approximately 90 cubic feet of plastic bottles were collected collected at the four drop off depots.

In Editor's Mail Box 901, Oshawa L1H7N1 June 27,1986 Sir: The recent articles in an Oshawa paper on homosexuality homosexuality by staff writers and others were appropriate in these times.

However, I have to mention that the typical way of life of a homo or lesbian must be regarded as being more than a societal problem or a psycho- sexual disorder. Though these "gays" need, of course, our sympathy, their present lifestyle lifestyle does not. How about them making a good start with monogamy? The whole situation was best summed up in Everybody's Column by Lorraine McNamara. In short, she believes, as I do, in preserving Judaeo-Christian values. And here I have to add that Aids is a gross sin. So, before death may strike these patients, they must with true faith have made their eternal peace with their Maker, Jesus Christ.
