37、nt of the population were black when Kenneth Glibson was elected in 1970. Thus the election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.

This mass of metals, paper, food, plastic, rubber and glass, which is all mixed together, seems of no earthly

45、use to anyone. Or is it Many efforts across the country indicate that new technology, properly applied, might some day turn these millions of tons of garbage into an excellent source of raw materials for new uses. Several new projects are carried out to study the possibility of treating wastes throu

46、gh pyrolysis- a system of reducing garbage to basic chemical, liquids and gases which have commercial value.
