L A story in Moriday morn- ing's paper, on the front page, has the words "white whiplash" in the headline. Whinlash is one of the unnec- essarily sensational words used by the press to draw reader's attention to a news' item. In this case two whites and one Indian commented angrily on the endless com- plaints and hostility of the Indians in the Northwest Territories who are appear- ing before the Berger Com- mission on the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline' Whiplash is too strong an expression for - the protests of two whites and _ one Indian - and it was more parti-colored than white, also.. However, what the story does bring to our atten- tion is the quandary in which what we might call the half- way people find themselves - half-way because they are caught between two cultures - their own indigenous one and the one brought from Europe by the white settlers. Family: life, -moral values, time sense and soon are quite different, especially - aspir- ations. The Indian wants both the tranquillity and logic of his inherited culture and the very apparent amenities of the white man's life. The 'problem is, can both be reconciled? The articulate Indian says they can, the 'white says a choice must be - made between one or the other. All that can _ be suggested here is keep on talking and take plenty of time. At all costs communi- cation must not be lost. Mr. and Mrs. Mel McGee -spent an enjoyable weekend with Ruth and George Stone at their cottage at Norland.

That's pretty hard to imagine right now because most of us think of garbage as just that--garbage. But in fact, it's a potential resource. And the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is harnessing it. ~ How doesithappen? By recycling. Garbagé will be taken to recycling centres where it will be shredded, separated, and some of it, tured into fertile soil to re- "- vitalize barren areas of the province. . _ The same basic shredding and separating process will also produce fuel, paper, cardboard, metals. .And we've just begun fo explore the possible end uses of garbage. Landfill Separation Recyclable of metals malenals Fuel ) J} 2 Shredding A centre for advanced research will come up with many more. Whereis it happening? Our Ministry has already inaugurated Ontario's first recycling In the next two years, similar centres will be built to serve London, Sudbury, Peel, Halton, Metro Toronto and Jr) v7 - Pt NY south eastern Ontario. In 15 years there will be recycling centres all across the province to handle 90 per cent of Ontario's garbage --everything from abandoned cars to organic waste. Why recycle? Because the people of Ontario --all of us--pile up garbage at three times the rate that the population i increases. ! - The Ministry isworkingon i ways to reduce that amount, but we'll} always have garbage. And were | having trouble finding places to put | it and the landfill to cover it. Once garbage is being recycled, those problems will be over. | But more important than the dumping] _problems, we're literally throwing | Pp: away valuable resources with every] 4': ton of garbage we discard. y / In a community of 100,000, ya garbage recycling will conserve the equivalent of up to 3,500,000 gallons of fuel oil a year: 3,600 tons of | reclaimed steel; 4,500 tons of glass. Our recycling program is considered one of the most * advanced in the world. It's a , commitment to a o different way of living. { And the whole i world will be watching | i +.
