What happens to your garbage after it‘s buried in a landfill site? To continue a thorough scientific investigation of the answers to that question, $36,250 in Provincial Lotâ€" tery Funds has been awarded to the University of Waâ€" terloo Research Institute, Environment Minister Harry C. Parrott announced. The funding, spread over two years, with an equal contribution from the federal government (Fisheries and Environment Canada, Inâ€" land Waters Directorate) will continue and complete a scientific investigation of the Camp Borden landfill site. It includes investigation of leachate production â€" the liquid organic material flowing through the ground from the sites â€" decomposition of buried refuse, the migration or travelling of any compounds. and the ability of surrounding soil to hold or soak up any material or contaminants from the site. The Camp Borden landfill site was chosen for study because of its age â€" 40 years, the type of soil, the patâ€" tern of groundwater flow and the general geology of the area. _ Any further knowledge gained in this study will be applied to the location and operation of other Ontario landfill sites ‘"While we are actively developing reclamation proâ€" cesses to reduce material and energy waste and reâ€" duce the amount of landfill required. we must accept that sanitary landfill will be with us through the foreâ€" seeable future." Dr. Parrott said. "So it‘s important for us to continue scientific investigation of landfill efâ€" fects so that we can continue to improve these operaâ€" tions. _ Help Your Regional.

He deals with atâ€" mosphere and mood and his works give off a rather peaâ€" ceful feeling. With some of his pieces he uses a more direct format and plays with space. In a piece entitled ‘"The Beach", he allows the elements to float on their own. According to two studies, by Wilfrid Laurier Univerâ€" sity sociology students, women are getting the short end of the stick when buying and repairing cars in the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo area. One group found that women can be quoted as much as $110 more than men for car repairs. ® The students, from Prof. Juanne Clarke‘s and Dr. Peter Eglin‘s first year soâ€" ciology classes, divided into groups and researched suâ€" spected social injustices. A male student took the cars to the body shops for estimates. One week later, a female returned with the same vehicles and asked for the same work to be done. The women were quoted prices $60 to $110 higher than those quoted to the men. The students took two daâ€" maged cars, a 1968 Ford Mustang and a 1974 Chrysler Newport to 14 body shops in the â€" Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo area.

In another study, also by WLU sociology students, it was found that women were quoted $100 to $400 more than men for used cars. The students involved in the study went to 20 dealer ships in the Kitchenerâ€"Waâ€" terloo area. They followed a process similar to that of the other group. A male driver asked the selling price of several cars. Someâ€" time later a female driver went to the same dealer and asked the price of the same car. ‘""The percentage wasn‘t that high but why should there be any difference at all?" said Dave Lisle a first year sociology student. day, Dec. 22 will give parents a chance for last minute shopping.
