Recycling Can Save Our Land The development of recycling by industry marks a mile­ stone in the fight to safeguard our natural resources and en­ vironment. "Recycling” is the technical term for the processing of products we are in the habit of discarding--paper, cloth, wire, for example—so they can be used over again. What this means to our natural resources is significant. For every ton of waste paper recycled, 17 trees remain standing. At the rate we are using recycled paper today—about 20 per cent of all paper manufactured in this country has been so processed--we are able to save 200,000,000 trees a year. If that percentage were increased to 50 percent, a forest equal in size to all of New England, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland would be saved. Recycling saves us needless effort and expense in other ways, too. For example, every year our factories stamp out five billion all-aluminum beverage cans. If these cans were simply tossed away we would quickly run out of room for them. But recycled, they are back in use, either as cans or in other products. It is good to know that we now recycle about 30 percent of our aluminum. But that amount could and should be pushed higher with the cooperation of local communities and industry. Lead, silver, zinc, gold, copper and nickel are also being reclaimed; but, while impressive in poundage, the amount now recycled barely makes a dent in the problem of waste utilization. Hence, much more needs to be done. Communities and industry must work together to make full use of solid wastes. Steps need to be taken to ease burdensome special taxation and outdated restrictions which often discriminate against scrap plants. Fortunately, despite this discrimination, the effort to safe­ guard and stretch our resources is being carried on in many communities across the county. The modern plants doing the job are a far cry from the piles of rubbish they were at the turn of the century. Instead, they are highly industrialized facilities which make use of the newest tecniques developed by industry and the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Serving as a clearinghousefor technical and other data dealing with recycling is the New York City-based National Associa­ tion of Secondary Material Industries, Inc. (NASMI) whichworks closely with local and state governments as well as with Washington Agencies. The association offers guidance and help to all who request it; and those interested in the preservation of our environment are finding that it pays to seek such expert advise. Washington-Exclusive Savings Bonds Sales Increase Sale of Series E and H Sa­ vings Bonds in Oregon for the month of January was 22% higher than it was a year ago, according to word received here today by County Savings Bonds Committee Chairman Jim Leslie. “Although we thought January of 1970 was a good month in the Savings Bonds business," said .» Leslie, "our sales last month in the state showed an ama­ zing increase of more than $640,000. Almost all of the counties in the state had sales that were well* ahead of the monthly average they must reach if they are to make their 1971 goals. Our sales in this county last month were $11,084, compared to $26,864 last year. Total sales for Oregon were $3,538,- 000. A year ago they were $2,897,000. ‘it would seem that Oregon­ ians are still in a savings mood, and that the 1/2 percent bonus paid on Savings Bonds that are held for long periods makes them expecially attractive at this time,” Leslie said.

Many people expect the school to do the impossible, yet out of the 7,860 hours a year the child spends 900 hours in school, that is one ninth of the time. The rest of the time he is not under the influence of teacher and school. Many women, how­ ever, realize the limitations of the school, as does the one who spoke the following words at a parents teacher meeting. “If you women did your duty at home with your two or three children, less of these problems would reach the school, where the teacher has 30 or 40. If you taught your girls modesty at home they would be modest at school; if you brought up your boys to be clean of speech in all the hours they are not in school, their tongues would not be so ready with the impure word; if you watched your child­ ren’s evenings you wouldn’t have So much time to criti­ cize those who work with them during the day.” MERRY WIDOWS Members of the Merry Widows club met Saturday even­ ing at the home of Mrs. Blanche Weeks.

Speaking on “Navy Traditions and Moral”, Stunz said at the end of World War II the United States had the greatest navy in the world, but with our pro- properly trained personel its operation would have been im­ possible. He quoted Napoleon as saying “Morale is to ma­ terial as 3 is to 1”. Morale is an all-important weapon in modern warfare. The speaker told about the traditions which cause mental strife to equal the achievements of those of the past. He re­ cited incidents occuring dur­ ing World War II to emphasize his statement that "the im­ portance of morale has not de­ creased in modern warfare”. 30 YEARS AGO Ironing ranks near the top of the list of the tiresome and unpleasant duties that re­ gularly must be performed by most farm wives.
