The void that supposedly swallows up ships and planes hasn't showna liking yet for a fly-ridden garbage barge that spent much of this week floating in the hot sun off the Florida Keys. Neither has North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Mexico, Belize, Florida or Louisiana, which threatened to bring out the National Guard to keep it away. The bargeload of Long Island trash continues to embarrass the officials who sent it on its way six weeks ago. It has become a symbol of the consequences of letting a problem pile up. In a country that produces more than five billion tonnes of waste a year, it’s getting harder to push garbage out-of sight. ‘ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says more than half the states are nearing severe landfill problems. The crisis is acute for southern New York state and northern New Jersey, where the urban jungles and lush countryside either don’t have room for more dumps or have residents who refuse to allow one nearby. The 2,800 tonnes of garbage being hauled by the tugboat Break of Dawn comes from Islip (pronounced ice-slip), a community that banned industrial waste from its nearly full dump last year and is waiting for the completion of an incinerator SIMILAR BIND Much of Long Island is in a similar bind. Officials say all dumps for raw garbage on the island may have to be closed over the next three years because of groundwater contamination, Incinerators capable of reducing garbage by 90 per cent are under construction but many won't be ready before landfill space runs out. Even when they do open, some will have no place to dispose of the ash. New York City, meanwhile, has about a dozen years of dumping left at its last landfill, a Staten Island site where the garbage has become one of the highest points of land on the East Coast. [ee Officials say the story of the Break of Dawn may not eliminate the neighborhood resistance that has scuttled many proposed dumps, but it has put the problem higher on the political agenda. “The barge certainly has high symbolic value,” Gerald Boyd, head of the New York legislative commission on solid waste, told the New York Times. “It does create a very strong image of the notion that the garbage has to go somewhere.” _Where the barge’s load will go is something the tugboat's frustrated crew would like to know. NO ODOR Journalists who visited the vessel said the barge was bedevilled..by.-flies, but had no odor. ‘ The heap of trash was supposed to be left at a North Carolina landfill designed to collect methane gas from decomposing garbage. But state officials refused to let the barge unload. The vessel sailed down the East Coast and through the western edge of the Bermuda Triangle, circled part of the Gulf of Mexico, and dipped down to Belize before resting off the Keys. Authorities who have given the barge the cold shoulder are not alone in turning away other people's trash. In Gloucester County in southern New Jersey, officials went ahead with a new landfill despite opposition from some constituents, and as a result can look after local needs into the next century. Now, northern New Jersey wants to ship garbage into southern New Jersey. “We've bit the bullet,” John Maier, chairman of the county board of freeholders, told The Times. “And in all of our planning, and in all of our sweat and all of our public hearings that we've held, it has béen unequivocally stated that we're not about to entertain anyone else's trash down here. We've solved our own problems and nobody else's.” With the 1 of the Fox, classic German engineering has never been more affordable.

New diplomat installed OTTAWA (CP) — Gov. Gen. Jeanne Sauve reiter- ated 8 opposition to Tuesday as she accepted ‘the diplomatic credentials of South Africa's new ambassador to Canada, Johannes De Klerk. De Klerk, 40, replaces Glenn Babb, who returned to South Africa in April after two years to take up new duties in the foreign office. Sauve told De Klerk that Canada .is encouraged by South Africa’s efforts to re- form apartheid, but much more needs to be done. “As the prime minister has mentioned on several oc- casions, Canada will continue to press for the abolition of apartheid in South Africa, the creation through peaceful means of a government fully representative of all its people and the establishment of peaceful stability in all southern Africa.” The government accepted De Klerk's credentials des- pite a plea by the African National Congress to reject his appointment to protest South Africa's racial policies. External Affairs Minister Joe Clark has said the government feels it's impor- tant to continue diplomatic contacts with South Africa to exert pressure on the white minority government to change its apartheid policies. d b: policy of f social, economic and political re- form.” De Klerk would not talk to reporters after the cere- mony. He's a 15-year veteran of the foreign service and ser- ved previously in Washing- ton and London. De Klerk worked most recently in the office of Pik Botha, South African foreign minister. It's unknown whether De Klerk intends to stake out a high profile, as Babb did during his posting. Babb, who arrived in Can- ada in August 1985, orches- trated a well-published speaking tour in which and he and other embassy staff foreign journalists were painting a distorted picture of the country in which 28 million voteless blacks are ruled by 4.5 million whites. Babb received wide pub- licity earlier this year when the Peguis Indian band in Manitoba invited him to visit the reserve to highlight poor social conditions. Babb argued strenuously — but fruitlessly — against Canadian economic sane tions against his country. Cessna takes home STAMFORD, N.Y.
