For the past week the Progressive
Conservatives, under leader J.oe Clark,
have been hastily packing the leader's
bric a brac. for the move from the op-
position side to the office of the prime
minister.
And for the PCs a most welcome
move it i$.
Afterall, it has been 16 years since
the last Conservative candidate .,has
occupied the most pretigious office.
To put it mildly,there was much glee
about the Tory camp.
But for Cark, the move was not
enc especially before
he announced his cabinet ap-
pointments. This columnist's Ottawa
source reported that Conservative
members were in the nation's capital in
droves to assist .their leader with his
move.

Debbie Dunlop jokingly
refers to herself as, "the
chief cook and bottle
washer" at the Maitland
Country Club. But all
joking aside, Debbie
performs a pretty im-
portant service at the
club as Food and
Beverages Manager, a
position she has held
since May 1, 1978.
Debbie graduated from
Ryerson Polytechnical
Institute, Toronto in 1977
with a diploma in fashion
merchandising and retail
advertising and says
she's still trying to figure
out how she got into the
food business with
credentials like that!
• However; now that she
is in the food business,
she finds that she loves it.
In fact, she enjoys it so
much, that she says she
wouldn't mind having her
own restaurant and pub
some day.
Perhaps it's not so
strange that Debbie
should end up in the food
business. Although she
h.a°s had no formal
education in the business,
she has had a lot of on-
the-job training. She says
she feels lucky to have
trained under such ex-
cellent chefs and
managers, during her
past jobs becauseshe
'learned a lot then that is
helping her now.
Debbie worked at the
Little Inn in Bayfield
under Ruth Wallace for
five summers and says
that's where she got most
of her experience, in-
cluding preparation
cooking and restaurant

During the summer of
1977 she managed the
kitchen at the Harbour

Just when you're on top of the world
and things are going great and you
start to consider yourself a success of
sorts Mother Natufe humbles you. With
a number of very small afflictions that
' researchers are not about to spend
millions to solve that grand old gal can
turn you into mush.
Two of her favorite weapons in the
battle against giant egos are the cold
sore and the zit.
Think about it. If you men knew your
fly was open or you women knew you
had a giant run in your panty hose you
wouldn't be any more self conscious
about your problems than if you had a
giant ginch on your cheeK
The -reason I know about the hum-
bling affect of the zit is because an
unwanted mountain that formed just
where my nose meets my face is
disappearing. It's barely visible now
but for a while there I thought I had two
heads.
The unique thing about zits and cold
sores is that they are highly personal
and yet very public. They are not
considered a serious enough malady to
warrant time off'and sufferers haMe no
choice but to curse the little devils and
head out to work.
Just try phoning the office some day
and telling you boss you won't be in to
work you've got a zit on your chin.
The que:tion mankind has been
asking for years is what gives the zit
the social stigma it enjoys. Part of the
reason may be that zits are associated
with grease or dirt, which most people
claim can be avoided by washing. The
cold sore has its own special place in
society. It is closely associated withthe
affects of some social diseases and
when stiff?! ors of cold sores walk in a
room many heartless people sort of
casually raise their eyebrows and
whisper sbmethidg to a friend.
Despite their unsightly appearance
and their discomfort cold sores have
not come close to -public scrutiny like
the zit. Some cold sore sufferers even
enjoy a little public sympathy 'but not
people with zits.
Since puberty people have been
conditioned to avoid zits like the
plague. 'Remember when you were
dating. Teenagers have always spent
hours leaning over the bathroom sink
with their face inches from the mirror
searching to telltale signs that zits are
attacking. And when one of the little
devils appear out comes the tubes of
medication and makeup'that not only
hide but dry up the blemish.
Some people ha.» managed to turn
4jts into a gold -mine. Wojfman Jack'has
told three generation's of teenagers
there's no need to suffer the indignity of
a pimple. With a little dab or his
product teenage 'faces can look like
they did the day they were brought into
the world.
But many zit sufferers have no
defence when they are afflicted. When
a juicy one appears on my face I can't
go whining to my friends about it
because I was one of those people that
liked to tell zit jokes.
I was always one of the first to label a
guy crater face when zits or
blackhead"s attacked his face. When
someone got a serious attack and
several zits struck I was always the
clown 'that said it looked like•they had a
fire on their face and somebody put it
out with a track shoe.
But that's all behind me now. I
realize now how humiliating a zit can
be and that there's nothing funny about
them. I grew up.
What's that on your lip. Drinking out
of dirty tin cups again eh?
