M@ Manufacturers and distributors should share the burdens of re- cycling with consumers.

Martin Meyer RECYCLE ADVISORY GROUP

What responsibilities should manufacturers and distributors of products have for recycling?

At the present time they seem to have almost none. Once the product is sold to the consumer the responsibility for disposal of the packaging or container or waste material is almost totally left to the con- sumer,

In a few isolated cases, the manufacturer or distributor has a provision for looking af- ter the containers. A good ex- ample is glass beer and pop bottles, where the consumer is

Seniors recall early

@ Club members share memories at social

The members of the Senior Citizens Association No. 46 enjoyed a trip down memory lane at the September social.

Ruth Waldie gave a very in- teresting account of her mem- ories of the early days of Rob- son and Castlegar when she came from Nelson as Robert Waldie’s bride.

Formerly involved with singing and little theatre, she continued making this contri- bution to her new community.

In conclusion, Ruth read the history of the Waldie Mill written by Bill Waldie.

It seems, therefore, that if manufacturers and distribu- tors are ever to be more re- sponsible for the disposition of items they produce and sell, that government legislation must be

able to return them for a re- fund, after which they are reused.

Why couldn't a similar sys- tem be set up for used salad dressing bottles, plastic milk jugs and tin cans? Or, along similar lines of thinking, why shouldn’t manufacturers and distributors of all products be responsible to some degree for the final di itiun of things

If indeed they were more re- sponsible for the final destiny of their products, it is entirely likely that a lot more care and consideration would be given to packaging standards and material types. We'd all bene- fit from less bulk in our com- munity landfills, less waste of natural resources and less pol- lution. Ask your elected repre-

Being interested in the out- doors, he went into forestry. He shared many interesting experiences and had pictures to show of the area.

Music was always his hob- by. During his life he sang with the male choir, Rossland Light Opera, and-still leads the Anglican Choir.

The same afternoon a mem- ber from the recreation office spoke of two proposed tours

Interested seniors were to sign up for these at the com- plex.

There would be no din- ners sold as before, rather ev- eryone is to bring a choice of food of either a main dish, hot vegetable, salad or dessert. In order for everyone to enjoy the program that follows, it was suggested that menbers bring their own
