Corrections 

 and Omissions 



In the last issue it was incorrectly 

 stated itiat the winter meeting would 

 be tield at the Margate in Lebanon. 

 This is not true. It will be held on 

 January 1 7 at the Margate in LACO- 

 NIA. See you there. 



The article on the Nordmann Fir 

 (page 25) did not include the address 

 of the American Conifer Society. 

 This is: Carville M. Akehurst, Ex- 

 ecutive Secretary, American Coni- 

 fer Society, P.O. Box 314, Perry 

 Hall, Maryland 21128, telephone 

 (301)256-5595. 



Also, the name of the author of 

 "A Green Light on Recycling" is Jay 

 Kilboum, group manager of Re- 

 source Conservation Services, Inc., 

 Compost and Processed Product 

 Division. A fact omitted is that RCS 

 plans to establish a recyling center 

 soon in Hooksett (another aspect of 

 RCS 's enterprises). Eventually it 

 will include a disu-ibution outlet for 

 its compost and processed products.
