A brand new recycling program Before the end of this month Tiny-Tay Peninsula residents will receive a 1986 calendar from the North Simcoe Waste Management Association recycling program. The calendar will include the dates on which residents of each municipality should put out their newspapers, glass, and cans for special The amount of material collected in November was two to three times greater than in October. October was the first month for collection for recycling. One of two problems which persist is that not everyone places the newspapers, cans, and glass enough of a distance separate from the garbage, says Anne Desroches, assistant manager of the recycling program. And some people don't put out the material to be recycled early enough. Collection of material to be recycled begins at 8 a.m. Gift of life THIS YULETIDE SEASON you have a wonderful opportunity to "'give of gift of life."

New and old stamps bring back ah LARRY McINNIS Several months ago. one of these columns dealt with "The Sea and Postage Stamps." Not only did it result in a flood of mail to Canada Post asking for its illustrated booklet on the subject, but it brought some other mail, some of it quite touching. I thought I'd share one letter with you, if even to show how philately spans generations and continents. J.B. "Jack" Elliott, of Belmont, Londonderry, Northern Ireland, wrote that his nephew sent him a copy of that particular column. "It was a mine of information,"' he wrote. Well, now! How about that? Elliott said he had most of the stamps illustrated in the booklet, but his main interest was the 20-cent (Corvette being built, Scott No. 260) and the $1 (Destroyer at sea, which happens to be not Canadian, but the famous British warship HMS Cossack, Scott 262), both issued July 1, 1942. He said his Stanley Gibbons catalogue lists the corvette stamp as HMCS La Malbaie under construction at Sorel, Que., and the $1 "as just a destroyer." During the Second World War, Elliott worked for the Naval Stores Department of the (British) Admiralty and as_ such _ had dealings with all Canadian ships visiting Londonderry. He was responsible for issue of electrical equipment, radar. wireless-tele- graphy, testing equipment and binoculars. He related the story of how he and his wife one day took some Canadian sailors to St. Columba Cathedral. he assistant organist was practicing, and he agreed to a request to play the haunting "Londonderry Air." The sailors later said the moment would forever be engraved in their memories. The white ensign flag from HMCS Lauzon hangs in the cathedral, with a brass plate in- scribed: "This ensign flown in HMCS.. Lauzon, last Canadian ship to sail ost of memories from Londonderry 1945. Presented by the Naval Officers Association of Canada on behalf of RCN officers and men who visited this city in World War IJ and in memory of those who gave their lives in the Battle of the Atlantic." Elliott accompanied the offi cy al photographer on the occasion. He, in turn, accompanied the color party (they carry the flag) from the ship to the cathedral. "He took a photograph of them passing through the Shipquay St. Gate in the city walls," he wrote. LETTERS Letters are invited. Please send enquiries to the writer at P.O.
