If you are interested in se curing " The Recyclers Hand Book, a guide for Community Action" write for it to Con tinental Can Co. in Walla Walla, Wa. He also said that beer dis tributors in Pendleton would accept any kind of aluminum cans and other household alu minum. Distributors are Ra nier, Olympia, Blitz Wein hard and Carling. He sug gested before taking over an accumulation it would be a good idea to contact them to see which days they would accept them, hours, place, etc. They will also accept bot tles that are returnables to dealers. They pay 50 cents a case. He distributed Household Ecology sheet s with Recycl ing hints for Mothers and others. The Gazette-Times will print these from time to time. HINTS: Use natural re pellents instead of insecti cides in your garden. Mari golds', painted daisies and many herbs (garlic) natural ly repel insects. Or make a spray from them using an atomizer. Some insects are good: slugs, worms, spiders, snakes, grasshoppers, pray ing mantises and lady bugs. Encourage them by providing dark "hiding" places. Spreading coffee grounds at tracts worms and beer at tracts slugs. Destroy or iso late diseased plants. Slight ly soapy water won't harm plants but effectively elimi nates aphids.
