\ st c, Castlégar News June 19, 1968 ’ Prince needs real job, say critics By DEBORAH TELFORD Reuter LONDON — It is high time that Prince Charles was given a real job, according to Britain's royal watchers. Royal commentators seem to be sympathizing more and more with the prince of Wales's feeling that being 4 man of action, an occasionally reclusive philosopher and a father of two boys is not enough for a future king with a conscience. The Daily Telegraph warned recently that Charles’ politically sensitive work with the unem- ployed and his help in regnerating Britain's rundown inner citiés could be curbed by the Conservative government if he goes too far. “It is the unwelcome scent of socialism, of ‘something must be done,’ about some of his speeches that breeds in Downing Street the that the par lifestyle, dangerous for the future head of a monarchy that its himself,” Telegraph editor, wrote after His for necessity to renounce danger in the line of duty.” disapproval whichever way he turns. Most said Charles, who took up flying and achuting to compensate for his closeted royal had to realize such sports were too still the focus of national unity and pride. “The Prince of Wales does not seek danger for own sake. He seeks it as a means of testing Peregrine Worsthorne, the Sunday- Lindsay's death, “By any standard he has now passed that test. courage is legendary. There is now a further test him to take and pass: that of acce) the Prince Charles appears to be caught in a web of — Firm recycles everything TORONTO (CP) — Joe Garbarino has all the angles covered in his re- cycling business — including recov- ering old milk, doughnuts, pizzas and more than 200 loaves of bread every day to feed 50 pigs and a few beef cattle, sheep and horses, Garbarino, president and co-owner of Marin Sanitary Service in Marin County, Calif., started the farm with a friend when he noticed charity-run food banks and other| places ended up throwing out old food, “We recycle the pigs, too,” he said in a lecture. “We give a pig back to the food bank to feed the poor.” It was that kind of thoughtfulness and innovation that has made Gar- baino's firm successful and earned him an invitation to the recent international recycling forum in Toronto. The conference, with the Pollution Probe Foundation as host, brought together experts from Canada, the United States and Europe. Garbarino has been working at re- cycling since he started his company in 1956 with a “mobile recycling centre” — a truck in which three men sorted the trash. Now, he estimates that his ser- vice recycles about 80 to 35 per cent of the garbage produced by Marin County, a suburban area of 225,000 north of San Francisco. He also started the United States's first county-wide curbside collecting of recyclables, a system where the homeowner sorts his glass, cans and paper into separate containers for pickup with the garbage. Before the start of this program in 1981, he collected 900 tonnes of material, compared to 19,500 tonnes collected last year. Garbarino is inspired by the damage waste dumping has done to the environment, especially in the San Francisco area. His slide presen- tation includes pictures of San Fran- ciseo Bay 20 years ago, with trash dumped straight into the water. “There's nothing left in San Francisco Bay you can fish for, The crabs are gone, the shrimp are gone, the clams are gone . . .” Besides the curbside pickup, Gar- barino’s company leaves boxes around the city for the public to drop off material and operates the Marin Resource Recovery Centre. At the centre, a building the size of three football fields built last year at a cost of $9.5 million‘ US, workers Britain's tabloid press has ridiculed his penchant for organic gardening, Jungian philosophy and h ie medicine — ing him as a prince is not, regrettably, ‘one of us,’ " the staunchly pro-royal Telegraph said. Rather than playing “the licensed royal gadfly, hopping from platform to platform and issue to issue,” Charles should be given a real job like chairing a major environmental body, it said. Charles's problem, as he approaches 40 in November, is not that time is passing too fast, but that he is running out of ways to kill it until he ascends the throne. He could be at least 60 before he becomes king. His 61-year-old mother Queen Elizabeth is in good health and showing no signs of wanting to abdicate. A brush with death in Switzerland in March when he was narrowly missed by an avalanche that killed one of his close friends has narrowed his options and stoked his known capacity for self-criticism and guilt. Charles, who accepted responsibility for taking the skiing party on a dangerous slope at Klosters appears publicly chastened by Maj. Hugh Lindsay's death. While he struggled privately to handle his grief, the solemn-natured Prince also had to cope with endless amateur philosophizing from some royal watchers who said he blamed himself for the accident and was heading for a breakdown. “Loon Prince” and a “Hermit Heir.” Charles disdains the press but usually adheres to royal protocol by suffering their side-swipes in silence. His patience finally boiled over a few months ago. He summoned three newspaper editors to a private lunch at which he reportedly said he was sick of the press turning the Royal Family's private lives into a public soap opera and trivializing his efforts to solve Britain's social problems. When one editor suggested the Royal Family helped create demand for soap-opera coverage by allowing television cameras into Kensington Palace, the prince is reported to have fumed that such a remark implied he should avoid controversy and limit himself to ceremonial appearances and bland opinions. “I've had to fight every inch of my life to escape royal protocol,” a witness reported Prince Charles as saying. “You're suggesting that I go back and play polo. I wasn't trained to do that. I have been brought up to have an active role,” Charles reportedly said. Even as a bachelor he shunned the pleasure- seeking of his predecessors and kept ribbon-cutting ceremonies to a minimum. pick out 11 recyclable materials.

Many of the 100 villagers want to restore the church — built 79 years ago by local Shuswap Roman Catho- lies — with its sky-blue walls, arched ceiling, pot-bellied stove and stained glass windows. But the tiny peaked attic below the belltower of the church, located 60 kilometres east of Kamloops, has become one of the largest brown bat nurseries in the southern Interior. The provincial government's heri- tage conservation branch has dona- ted $16,000 for renovations to the church, but work has been held up because of the bats. each — two or three would fit in a palm of a child's hand — and consume half their weight in insects every night. The brown bat is one of the more common in British Columbia and is known for its astonishingly high metabolism — its heart beats 800 to 1,200 times a minute. It can fly hundreds of kilometres in a matter of days with wings that span 20 centimetres. It ranks 13th on the “rabies list” (humans are fifth, making spread of feared disease less likely from a female bat than from a female human). Some villagers say the bats should be driven out. It’s a question of how to do it. Band council elder Bill Arnouse, 79, disapproves of schemes such as last year’s when the band authorized pesticide-spraying in the nursery. zy Most of the appr ly 3,000 female bats in the church are ex. pected to give birth in about a week and remain there with their offspring until September. The female bats flocked to the church, as usual, in April. The male bats, however, do not venture into the nursery. FEEDS BATS The bats are the subject of a crusade by a parks branch biologist who has had the little creatures into his house to sit at his table and be hand-fed moths. “This is a very, very important site,” says 26-year-old Mike Sarell during a visit to the attic. The bats weigh about six grams e spraying wasn't . “I don’t think we should kill the poor things, and that’s what the majority around here said last time we talked about it,” says Arnouse. “We just wish they'd move some- where else.” Local non-natives have tried to help out, suggesting adopt-a-bat schemes and the construction of backyard bathouses to provide the females with new nurseries.
