Your Ontario Ministry of the Environment wants to bring those days back, becciuse there were a lot of advantages ta the ref illables. Their re-use saved energy and raw materials involved in battie manufacture. And, more important, people returned refillable botties. Sa they didn't become the litter and garbage disposai problem that throwaway botties and cans are causîng today. On Octaber 1, 1976 a new law went into effect. t says that within six maonths, retail vendors will be required ta stock and display in ref ilable botties any size, f lavour and brand of sof t drink they all er in non-refillable botties. In other words they have ta of fer you a choice. It also requires that retailers selling sof t drinks in ref illable botties must now accept and refund cash deposits of at least 10e an small sizes and 20e on large sizes. And the amounts of these deposits must be shawn separately frarn the actual price af the pop. Yaur Ministry of the Environment thinks that a return ta ref illable botties will save energy, help alleviate garbage disposai problems, and reduce the number of landfilii sites. It wilI be a step taward a clecm, unlittered Ontario. Ministry of the Environ ment Hon. George A. Kerr. Q.C.. Mnister Everett Biggs.

Alcoholism study team in Whitby A group of researchers was in Whitby, last week as part of an indepth sîudy it is con- ducting throughout the province to determîne the effectiveness of drug and aversion therapy treatments as opposed to non drug rehiabilitation of alcoholics. The study was launched by the Task Force on Alcoholism and is sponsored by the Church of Scientology, Department of Social Reformn. Slatistics from the Addic- tion Research Foundation show industry in Ontario is Iosing over SI-million daily uue 10 bad drinking habits. Over $ 4mlinfroin the Ontario Government goes towards helping alcoholies but alcoholism is still one of Ontario's leadinig social problems. The group has gathered information on ahl the different treatrnenlt methods which exist and have so far documnented over 10 cases of success anZi failure. PatlNIorano, spoke smqn for the group, said "'One alcoholie vas drugged, shock- ed and put in cold storage with the idea of forcing him tu kick the habit"'. The task force feels these types of rehiabilitation tech- niques are flot therapeutie and only degrade an already sick human being who needs individual care, self-respect, understanding and the gui- dance to enable him to kick the habit and help hlm back into tlhe comînunity through communication.- Dr. Neil Maharaj from the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital says "Alcoholism is a disease that mnust be aborted". Dr. Maharaj uses such techniques as antaîrise, a drug which makes alcoholics impotent and nauseouS. The task force feels that its study will show the need for proper miedical and comn- munity facilities and main- tains ils proposals are indispensible in bringing about greater respect for Ontario's 436,000 alcoholics. "He would like to see broad, sweeping social reforras in the field of alcoholism", said Mr. Marano. He would like to see the alcohol industry pour some of its profits into establlslaing rehabilitation centres for alcoholics instead of spending so muchmoney on advertising.
