Dear Sir: , v _ Our households, find our selves laden with some one- bundred cubic were! gar- bage. This garbage is ot a particular type; boxes of glass, paper and cans all sorted and walked in prep- aration for recycling. This is the total of six months conscientious labor. We now find that there are no facilities to handle recycled garbage in the twin-cities. I personally find this type. of situation appalling. On the one hand social CottsCientioutmess demands the conservation of our di- miniirhing resources. Yet, the prevailing social mores become merely another whispered shout. A shout to" all of us too uninterested to put conservationist theory into practice. I expect that public apathy played some role in the discontinuation of Pollution Probe and re- cycling depots in this area. This apathy does not make sense in terms of tax-dot- lars or "ecological conserva- tion. -When our households fj- nally find ourselves with too much recycled material to store I expect that we shall be forced to contribute to yet another ski-hill or land-fill dump. We would appreciate some action directed towards the re- opening of recycle depots to help by-pass this sad waste of reuseable materials. Yours truly, Don Mitchell on the behalf of; 384 and 388 Erb St. W., Waterloo house- holds. To The Editor, The Chronicle. I feel that l and many others have been silent long enough when we really should have joined the "Hockey Booster" in your paper last December and ousted the management of the Waterloo Toyota; -1, watched these Water- loo Midgets play hockey in Kitchener the "other night and it is pathetic to see management allow- ed to play one line three- quarters of the ice time I'd hate to think some par- ents might be blackmailing him.but where is his back- bone that he can't give any balance of play and what about the stickboy? Would he really be doing this if his son wasn't playing? Oh yes. coach. tell me what goes - some take vacations, some get injured, some get sick, but do the same rules not apply for everyone. I'm told they don't. It is obvious that "Mr. Hockey-Boos- ter" had a foresight into these things when he wrote before Christmas, I sure think that the sponsors should have it brought to their attention as they are not the type of people to operate like this One would think there was no coach as you watch certain players jump on the ice whenever they please, al, ways the same numbers Yes. there on the team a worse all the and more ' what is being these boys r treatment m all love, I can only say hockey have It brought to ttentlon as they are 3 type at people to ' like this One thmk there was no as you watch certain ; jump on the we Jer they please, al- we same numbers there IS dissensmn team and It us getting all the time as more more people recall/e S being done Sureh boys deserve better T tent m " sport they 9 this' One there was no watch certain , on the ice 3y please, al- better! _ to the edllifer players, until you get new management, I know you will be playing half-hearted- ly. Get whatever goals you can tor that is what they want. You know it's not hockey and so does every- one. else. I sure hope each and everyone of you get coaching and a fair chance next year. i To "Letters to the Editor" We invite young people in your community to send us paintings, drawings, poems and stories which express their feelings about themselves. their en- vironment, and the world we live in.
