     QQEEN'S PRINTER RECYCLES PAPER 
     
    
   
   
    
     Telephone message pads in P.E.I. government offices now have printed 
     
     material on the back. The reason is that the message pads are printed on the 
     
     back of old reports, listings of available materials, and other beaurocratic 
     
     gobbeldy-gook which has not seen the light of day, or has outlived its use- 
     
     fulness. Congratulations are in order for this fine example of resource 
     
    
   
   
    
     conservation. Resycling paper is one way we can lessen demands on forest 
     
     resources, and lt s eaSier on the taxpayer‘s wallet too.
