The trip to Little Slocan Lakes was very successful with all members getting good samples of garnets, quartz, crystals and some molybdenite. There are no trips planned for the next> month . unless members wish to contact Mrs. Horswill and arrange one.

They are free on request. “People have heard so many theories and technical terms recently that many are unsure of the facts,” said Environment Minister Jack Davis. “The booklets describe various kinds of pollution, explain such terms as bio- sphere, ecology, particulates, CO2 barrier, and persistent chemicals, and make suggest- ions about citizen involve- ment.” Well illustrated and con- cise, the publications will be easily understood by people in all walks of life. “A Pollution Primer” ex- plains nature's systems, how poisons build up in food chains, how lakes age, how water is constantly on the move—up into the sky and back to earth, the sources and effects of various kinds of pollution. It also explains federal- provincial responsibilities and lists sources of additional information, “The Environment Needs You" shows how — concerned cere can, get.invelyed, and, ides -p: stions: i" ides oie nee 10 steps to help preserve’ water quality, 10 hints on solid waste and seven ways of controlling noise. Mr. Davis said that En- vironment Canada is preparing an even more detailed guide for citizens groups who want to get deeply involved in the solution of environmental quality pro- blems. Copies of “A Pollution Primer” and “The Environment, Needs You" are available free of charge from the Enquiry Centre, Information Branch, Environment Canada, Ottawa. 80 what cause is there for the fat 50?
