How- c w . expecting the Village to deal with ever-growing mountains of trash is asking for the tax. increases we complain of. Conservation saves many more municipid dollars than building aixi supppning additional facilities erer under-utilized,and very much.morc expensive to run.

Let’s all look into how we can use recycled paper and other products in our homes and businesses to develop new markets. Reducing the rest of the pile out there is up to us. There’s a lot of recycling we can do as individuals. CommunKy Calendar Sponsored By !Ji[un^eiford dr'Cl^rlQ Inc. FuneratHame Jerry Frayter Kevin Molese 110 Pine ^ r e e t n e w l y Freeport, N.Y.
