White Rock Rotary Club was
brought up to date on the latest
developments in the United
Good Neighbors drive at their
luncheon Tuesday by George
Hahn, executive director of
UGN in this area.

Mr. Hahn, former Social}
Credit MP for the New West-]
minster riding, told Rotarians
that while the people of totali-
tarian countries expect the gov-|
ernment to do everything for}
them, the people of a democ-
Tacy must help themselves,

“That's where UGN comes
in,” the speaker said. |

An increase of $35,000 bring-
ing the total net proceeds froia|
$250,000 to $285,000 is needed|
this year to meet the UGN pro-
gram, Mr. Hahn said.

This $35,00 is actually only
@ 14 percent increase and as)
the population increase in this|

White Rock may soon dis
pose of its garbage by means
of sanitary fill rather than by
the present burning method at
the Ladner incinerator

Ald. William Offer toid the
council Tuesday that Dr. H. K
Kennedy, director of Boundary

at the Unit's quarterly meeting
that local governments give
serious consideration to this
method of “land reciamation.”

Dr. Kennedy said that North
Vancouver, West Vancouver,

|Burnaby and Richmond are al-

ready disposing of their gar-
bage by means of sanitary fill.
He said the Ladner incinera-

jtor was the only one in the

Lower Mainland at the present
time.

White Rock entered into an
agreement with Delta munici-
pality for the disposal of this
y's garbage at the incinera-
tor following incorporation.

Dr. Kennedy suggested the
Sewerage disposal plant on Keil
Street or the Ruth Johnson
Park site on North Bluff Road
would be excellent for introduc-
ing sanitary fill disposal here.
He did not recommend an in-
cinerator for the Ruth Johnson
site, however.

Ald. Offer told Council car:
lier that the city could sayo an
estimated $6,000 annually by
adopting this method,

He pointed out White Rock
pays $6000 annually for dis-
posing its garbage at Ladner in
addition to the weekly costs of
double pick-ups necessitated by
city employees,

Council made enquiries to the
