Scouting in the
Church's Ministry
Conference
July 25-31, 1991
Philmont Training Center

This conference is for Protestant clergy
and lay leaders. It is designed to equip

resource in their ministry to children,
youth and their families. Emphasis will be
given to outreach, leadership development,
intergenerational activities, and the God
and Country program.

Glass Recyclers (from page 21)
tion," Shelton said. "They then would tell
their friends."
"Now people all around know about
it," Moore said, "and they just drop it
off."
As Moore was talking, church
member Candy Newsom stopped by. She
had a grocery bag of bottles and joked
that her bag contained the millionth
pound. "We just like to save all our glass
to donate to the Boy Scouts," she said.
"One thing that concerned us in 1974
was that so much discarded glass was
being buried in the ground," Moore ex-
plained. "Once that stuff is buried it's
gone. And if America doesn't start doing
something about it, we're going to be in
trouble."
Recycling can be profitable, too. The
troop has raised more than $17,000 from
the project. (Glass currently pays two
cents a pound.) "That money helps keep
the troop operating," said Scoutmaster
Terry Brindle.
The fun part of recycling glass comes
in preparing it for delivery to the recy-
cling center. The Scouts store the bottles
in a garage where they separate the glass
by color. Then, wearing gloves and safety
glasses, they pulverize it with heavy
metal poles inside 50-gallon barrels.
Lome Biles said that smashing the
glass is fun. "If you're mad at somebody
it helps to take the anger out," he said.
Earl Shelton agreed. "It's a good way
to get rid of your frustration, if you've got
any," he said.
"Each barrel, three-quarters full,
weighs about 300 pounds." Shelton said.
They're loaded 10 at a time on the back of
Cossie N. Williams's well-traveled pickup
for the trip to the recycler.
"He has provided the truck from the
beginning," Shelton said. But after it de-
livered the millionth pound, Williams had
to retire the original truck. "It had car-
ried most of the million pounds," he said.
And the new truck may reach retire-
ment sooner, because the troop now also
collects aluminum. ■
"Well, at least no one
will call me a know-it-all. "
