Harold Koon, Program Di rector with the Area Six Branch Office of the South Carolina Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, announced today SCTRDA’s support of Newberry County’s Recycling Day to be held Saturday March 4. It will be held at the parking lot of the A & P Store Build ing on College Street in New berry from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Koon stated, “Man’s altera tion of his environment has in the last year, become a major issue of the day. One can hard ly pick up a newspaper or carry on a living room conservation without some mention of the problem. Our National TB and RD Affiliation has been en gaged for some years in the fight for cleaner air. Air con- nization’s basic purposes—along with eradication of tuberculo sis, control of other respiratory diseases, and elimination of ci garette smoking. “Throw it away’ is a com mon, everyday phrase in out culture. The amounts of solid waste produced in our ‘throw away’ society are staggering. Each year more than 4.5 billion lion dollars are spent to collect and dispose of solid wastes. In addition, the loss of non-return able natural resources repre sents an economic and raw ma terial drain. The U.S. Bureau of Mines estimates that almost 1 billion dollars could be de : rived from the scrap and ener gy value of household and com mercial refuse collected each year. But the real problem is that we have no adequate me thod to handle resources after they become waste. “It is dramatic to point out that for each ton of recycled paper used, 17 trees are saved. On the basis of the current con sumption of paper stock, this (C°ntinuMl on Pago I) Day of Prayer at Central Church The World Day of Prayer will be held at Central United Meth odist Church on Friday March 3, at 4 o’clock.
