The environment is of growing concern among com- munities and a compost box is an integral part of protecting it.” Called Envirocomp, Barber's and Rich's business offers cus- tomers either a single compost box, which is approximately 21 cubic feet, for $95 or a double box for $150.

A study published by Statistics Canada, using information from the 1986 Census and dividing the people of 25 major urban areas into five equal-size income divi- sions from the highest down to the lowest, shows there are some major differences in our health status related to income. Among them: The poorer the neighborhood, the shorter the life expectancy of its residents, (although the life ex- pectancy of people in all income groups went up between 1971 to 1986 and the improvement was greatest among the lower income groups). ¢ Infant mortality (death before the first birthday), although reduced almost by half across all income groups between 197! to 1986, remained at just about twice the level in the lowest income fifth of all persons studied than it did in the highest income fifth. e Mortality from tung cancer was higher for both women and men in all income groups in 1986 than in 1971. But for mates in particular the biggest jump came in the lowest income group. © For both women and men, suicide mortality declined slightly in the top three income groups be- tween 1971 to 1986. But it in- creased slightly in the second lowest fifth and substantially in the lowest fifth. The study relating health and income status was undertaken by Statistics Canada in conjunction with Health and Welfare Canada.
