How much solid waste do we dispose of via the garbage can? Based upon national averages for the most common wastes encountered in municipal collection. and using I960 federal census figures, it is estimated that about $520,000.000 pounds of refuse are carried to the garbage can each year by men, women, and children in the Upper Peninsula. According to Donald P. Veeser, sanitarian in the Northern Peninsula Office of the Michigan Department of Public Health, Escanaba, disposing of this much waste creates many problems from the standpoint of sanitation, aesthetics, and economy.

Several communities have eliminated problems associated with open dumps by establishing sanitary landfills for solid waste disposal. Unfortunately, many open dumps still exist and in some of them the unsafe practice of burning refuse continues. Public health agencies have been warning people about the clangers resulting from the practice of open burning of refuse in dumps in Michigan, Veeser said. Veeser said that recently an event occurred which enforces this warning and at the same time sets forth the problem in terms of dollars and cents. A resident in one of the small cities in Michigan directed to dump refuse on the fire burning at the site, had his eye put out by a piece of flying metal.

He sued the municipality that, operated the dump and received a $12,500 judgment against the municipality. The burning of refuse on open dumps is a practice which is outlawed by Act 87, Public Acts of 1965. The constant odor and smoke from a burning dump constitutes a nuisance to the community and contributes to the air pollution problem in the state, in addition to the hazards previously mentioned, Veeser added. is obvious from the foregoing that the complete elimination of open burning of refuse will greatly benefit the he concluded.

Written in the late when we had just emerged by the "skm of our teeth" from the depression, it is song of optimism and hope for the human race. Wilder focuses his play on the Ant robus family which contains, within its numbers, the dreamer-visionary-inventor, George Antrobus, who invented the wheel, the alphabet and multiplication tables; Mrs. Antrobus, and courageous, indomitable defender of the hearth and home: Gladys Antrobus.

the daughter, and their son, who bears certain resemblances to Cain. In the play, the Antrobuses endure an lee Age. a great food and blobal war. Through each crisis and its potential for destroying the human race, the Antrobuses emerge stronger and triumphant. The cast includes Peter Landry of Iron wood.
