Dear Editor:

In reply to a letter in the August
issue of the Asbestos Sheet suggesting
we institute a beer bottle depot in
Cassiar, I would like to ask one question:

_ For over ten years the Cassiar Lions
Club have donated their time and efforts
to picking up beer bottles weekly. These
monies are used for Scouts, Cubs, Guides,
Brownies and other charitable organiza-
tions in the Cassiar area.

Is this not a more worth while cause
than "gainfully occupying" our children?

Sincerely, Mike Lane,

Dear Editor:

I am whole-heartedly in agreement with
Ken Orpen's comments regarding the litter-
ing of the countryside with empty beer
bottles. There are places, for instance;
Chain Lakes, the picnic area at McDame
River, Mystery Lake, Cottonwood bridge,
just to name a few; and not to mention
the almost continuous string of them
along both sides of the Cassiar highway
and the Stewart highway.

Any enterprising boy could help clean
up the countryside and at the same time
make himself a pocket full of money.

However, the Lions Club has for years
conducted a regular bottle pick-up on
Saturdays or Sundays. The residents of
Cassiar have been requested to stack
their cases of empties out near their
porches ready for the pick-up team,

The money the Lions Club receives for
these bottles is ‘returned for the commun-
ity's benefit by helping pay for the
operation and maintenance of the swimming
pool, the establishment of playgrounds
for the children at the school and on
Tagish Street ~ Have you ever noticed
how many children get enjoyment from
these?

Financial support is provided in many
ways, for example: to the Cubs, Scouts,
Brownies, Guides, etc.

All this is made possible because of
this source of income the Lions Club
works for,

However on several occasions it has
been noted that cases of empties set out
by people for the Lions pick-up are being
carted away in wagons for the individual's
benefit only, thus reducing the amount
of money available to the Lions Club for
the whole community's benefit.

I say sure, boys clean up the loose
bottles lying around the roads, at rec-
reation areas; between, beside, or behind
the bunkhouses, but leave the others so
that not only you, but the whole commun-
ity can benefit.
