I happen to know some: three, |
four, and five-year-olds:who
are diligently working to save
us from this trashy demise.

. These preschoolers, Brownies
and small amateur craftsper-
sons are creating valuable and ©
uséful things out of the very
items ‘we might normally throw
away. For example, those little
plastic creamers you get in

- restaurants. There’s probably

millions of those small plastic
cups thrown out every day, pil-
ing up to clutter our world.
Did you know that these can be
covered with foil to become
Christmas bell decorations, or
turned into cute little bunnies
with a little felt? It’s
phenomenal what a preschooler
can do with some scraps and
glue. ; ee
And those milk cartons and .
jugs — do you realize what at-
tractive bird feeders these can
be made into? Giye the chil.
dren some cotton wool, yarn,
glue and scissors and they'll.
soon produce a feeder that -

covered with cotton wool and
yarn. I have one hanging in my
back yard, and it’s the envy of
all my friends.

- We would like to take this op-

portunity to thank the Terrace

our pancake breakfast held at —

their annual Trades Fair.

We would also wish to thank
those local businesses who so
generously donated the items

Last but not least, we thank

$7,961.18. That includes can-

Still to come are the mail drops.

Due to lack of C.C.S.

Admittedly, toilet paper rolls

are biodegradable, but imagine
_ the waste if we merely burned

them or allowed them to rot.
The multitude of uses for these
paper tubes is endless. We have
toy binoculars, small appliance
cord holders, Christmas tree
decorations, and some unique
necklaces, just to cite a few ex-
amples. When I wear my toilet
paper tube jewelry, I never fail
to receive comments on my ap-
pearance.

The recycling efforts of these

little tots should not go un-
recognized. Yet we constantly
hear about how wasteful and
polluting we are as a species,
never hearing the disclaimer,
‘with the noted exception of
three, four, and five-year-olds
everywhere.”’ I suspect that this
would change if the preschools,
kindergartens and Brownie
troops began an ‘‘Adopt an

Terrace resident Elaine Cooley took a unique approach to
canvassing for the Multiple Sclerosis Society during the
Carnation Campaign — she used her horse Gambler to get

‘ around the Gossan Creek subdivision. She said she and the
_.. horse were well-recelved by the folks on her route. “The: |
‘+ kids thought It was neat,” she said. Local results for the -

- Carnation Campaign haven't been tallied yet.
