In her letter to the presidents of the other parties Mrs. Klopp states “We would like to challenge the other political parties to join with us in running a more environmen­ tally friendly election campaign by agreeing not to use Candidate signs during the upcoming elec­ tion. If we can all agree not to use signs we can reduce the waste of materials used to make the signs and the visual pollution of our highways.” In her letter Klopp went on to say “We would like to resolve issue before we get into nomination meetings. If we have not heard from your riding associa­ tion by Friday, July 27 we will assume you are not interested in this idea and will have to consider other sign alternatives.” During the discussion Klopp pointed out that being environmen­ tally friendly may mean changing how we do things in our society. “Now is the time to be thinking of how we might change our election campaigns to be gentler to the environment” she said.

Women Today has taken on this project to date, funded through the Goderich Employment Centre. It is hoped that further funding will be available to continue to make this service a reality for Huron Countv. Hotel California Live at B. M. & G. Centre SAT. AUG. 18 9-1 Advance Tickets $10.
