Bree said the deposits have resulted in youngsters searching roadsides and parks for discarded containers. A spokesman for Reynolds Aluminum Co. said the law "is a fact of life and we have certainly accepted that fact of life." The spokesman said aluminum "is the most recyclable container of all.

Opponents argue that the 1972 law is a foolish piece of legislation that's thrown people out of work, played havoc with industry, raised the price of beer and soft drinks and robbed the public of free choice. Battle lines probably will form along those arguments as Sen. Mark Hatfield, Soil Surveyed WAUSAU Soil scientists have talked to more than 200 landowners, walked at least 250 miles and dug about 5,000 auger holes to complete soil maps of McMillan Township recently. Scientists used hand augers to dig three-inch diameter holes to a depth of five feet or less.

Purpose of the holes was to observe soil characteristics such as texture, color, drainage, depth of topsoil and amounts of gravel and cobbles. This information was used to identify the area of different soils and plot their location on aerial photos. The soil maps can be used by farmers to help them design and-build conservation practices which help control soil erosion. Persons interested in forestry and wildlife can use soil maps to help determine what species of trees to plant for wildlife food and cover. Park Study Ready PARK FALLS The approved Final Environmental Analysis Report for aerial herbicide release of plantations on the Chequamegon National Forest is now available to the public.

The reports can be obtained at County Clerk offices in Ashland and Bayfield counties, at city libraries in Ashland and Washburn, and at forest service offices in Park Falls, Washburn, Glidden, Hayward and Medford.
