Times Advocate, 1991-03-06, Page 12Purge 12 ' Times -Advocate, March 6, 1991 ,SPFyCLAl, FFAT11RF Machine washable Environment -friendly diapers prove less costly By Cheryl Clark KIPPEN - Kirsten Dayman's 14 - month old daughter Samantha has been learning the three Rs since birth - reduce, reuse, recycle. Dayman was introduced to In - disposable diapers by Holmesville sales representative Melody Van De Walle. The diapers are distrib- uted by a British Columbia -based company which markets the dia- pers nation-wide. In June of 1989, the company was honoured for outstanding en- vironmental and community effort at the first annual Society for the Promotion of Environmental Con- servation Awards. Dayman decided she wanted to be a sales representative for the company during her pregnancy and she has been involved with In - disposable diaper sales since last December. The diapers have a cloth lining, but are completely re- cyclable. Dayman said she loved the idea right from the start although the initial cost of purchasing the dia- pers can be comparatively costly to disposables. In the long run, Dayman states she has cut her di- aper costs by more than 50 per- cent. Dayman said the environment - friendly design of the diaper was its main attraction. The diapers are placed on the baby exactly the way a disposable would be. "They are cost efficient," said Dayman, but the issue is more of an environmental concern for her. The diapers are cloth fitted, ma- chine washable and are have span- dex leggings for more baby com- fort. Dayman thought selling the dia- pers would provide her with an ex- cellent opportunity to meet with other expectant and new mothers. "With the Indisposables, you get more of a personal service," she said. Dayman, who is expecting her second child this August, said the Indisposable diaper service has cleared the way for many Huron County moms to cut their expenses and meet new friends, as well as do their part for the environment and the future of their children. Dayman said a new mother can get by with two Indisposable dia- pers during the baby's first year. A dozen would sell for $69.95 where- as disposable diapers would cost approximately $15 each week. Liners are available to soak in ex- tra wetness during the night. "Breathable" cover and wet pants are also available. Dayman and Van De Walle mar- ket their products through pamph- lets and form letters. "We respect each others areas," said Dayman. She is planning to set up a display at the Exeter Home and Garden Show in April. Along with diapers, Dayman sells diaper bags, baby wipes, liners, nursing pads and underwear for in- continent adults. Diapers with a rubber pant and adult underwear come in various shades and prints and several new designs are hitting the market this Crin otton covered breathable pants for toddlers will be introduced this summer. The pants will be availa- ble in various prints such as dino- saurs and neons. "The products I have stood up quite well," said Dayman, noting she has been pleased with Indispos- able baby products sir.ce day one. "Indisposables are an easy sell once new and expectant mothers discover the product," said Day - man. "The products are very well - made and speak for themselves."

An Income Tax Clinic was held in North Hall by Terrell Diebold on income tax instruction for Sen- iors. This was informative and was Fame at S.H.D.H.S EXETER - "You want fame? Well fame costs. And right here is where you start paying." If these linesfamiliar to you, you were probabl a fan of the T.V. version of Fame back in the early '80's. Although South Huron's pro- duction is based on the screenplay by Christopher Gore rather than the T.V. show, the premise is essential- ly the same. As the play begins, the School of Performing Arts is in the midst of auditioning applicants. Al- though the students are dissimilar in many ways, they all want one thing - fame. How they pursue this dream while dealing with a variety of personal problems is what con- stitutes the rich theatrical tapestry of this play. Director and drama teacher, Glenda Burrell, has been very en- couraged by the response of the stu- dent body. As in other years, she is trying to involve as many students as possible in some aspect of the production. Although this play is not a musical, Burrell is once again tapping the talents of the students by including music and dance. If the level of enthusiasm is any indication of the saleability of this production, you had better circle May 8, 9, 10, and 11 on your calen- dar. Information regarding ticket sales will be given at a later date. well prepared and delivered.
