Lobb noted, "I'll always be interested
in Clinton and hope to help the council
in the future.
There will be $ome other changes in
the Clinton council this term. Coun-
cil's newst member Councillor Rob
Parr has announced that he won't be
dunning again and Councillor George
Rumba said he won't likely be
seeking re-election. Other longtime
Councillors Frank Van Altena,
Rosemary. Armstrong and Ron
McKay have not committed them-
selvesto the November election.
However Deputy Reeve Ernie -Brown
hopes to be back in action as a
councillor.
After 16 years of service, Bayfield's
Reeve Frank McFadden is thinking of
stepping out of municipal politics.
Reeve McFadden has served on
council since 1964 and has been the
- reeve -twice during -tha time:
He commented, "I hope to continue
to help in the community but I won't
interfer with the new council."
Bayfield Council already has an
open vacancy, left by Councillor Milt
Van Patter and some other council
members are undecided as to their
future involvement in local politics.
. Councillor Gwen P.embet"tonwould
like to see at least one more woman on
council but is unsure whether she'll be
putting her name on the voter's ballot,
As in Goderich Township, Bayfield
councillors are still weighing the pros
and .cons of running for the upcoming
election, Like Bayfield Councillor Reg
Wilson, many haven't, made a firm
decision yet and will be waiting until,
the last minute.

they are givenjew special privileges
for the use of the centre. As well, the
residents say that the new $285,000
addition to the Rec Centre is another
added expense, although 'the entire
township has been charged with this
cost.
Vanastr-a residents Peter—Mantel--is--
organizing tonight's meeting and
hopes that the community will be well
represented. Along with discussion on
the upcoming OMB hearing, Mr.
Mantel hopes that some consideration
will be given to candidates to the
upcoming ratepayers meeting and the
November 10 municipal election.

"You use colored toilet paper,"
sue gasped.'
"Yea," I explained, "It's been on
the market for a few years now."
" know it has," she retaliated,
"Arida, it should be taken off this
instant."
I didn't like the tone of voice this
lady was using but I took the bait,
"And why's that?"
She went on to say that colored
toilet paper users are polluting the
earth. It seems, so she said, that
-- the colored dye in the paper comes
out when the paper is flushed down
the toilet and is just making a mess
of our environment.
"But," I begged,. "I only use half -
colored stuff. Mine's mostly white
and just has a few little blue birds
here and there." •
She offered no sympathy and
excepted' no excuses,"It doesn't
matter there's still color in it."
A brainwave then hit, "Well what
about white toilet paper .then,"I
stated. "It doesn't come out like
that you know. They've got to add
color to make it white.`
She had a reasonable ex-
planation,, something about
bleaching not being as damaging
or polluting.-
But
olluting.-But I wasn't interested, "After
all," I thought, "Who fights about
toilet paper."
Yet when you consider it,'old t.p.
is rather an important part of our
society and most people have quite
strong feelings and opinions about,:
their toilet paper.
Like my friend, some are
horrified at the thought of colored.
There are two-ply toilet paper
people, squeezers and non -
squeezers. Some like to spend a few
more bucks to buy monogrammed
tissue and now there's even duo -
purpose toilet paper, you can read
it first, Yes, they're now printing
jokes and useless arid useful bits of
trivia on the little sheets and, they
make great topics for conversation
at a dull party.
Yet despite i4,necessity in the
world, people don't spend much
time thinking about toilet paper.
We seem to take it for granted, but
I can remember during the
macaroni dinners days of college
when money was scarce, we had tp
scrape our pennies together to buy
the cheapest brand of toilet paper

We found out then that eV en toilet
paper has varying degrees of
quality, the cheaper the price
sticker, the coarser the grain.
But there's always been some
consolation since toilet paper, no
matter the kind, has more than one
use. The tissues make great
streamers and it's always fun to
watch the rolls unravel when you
throw them through the air. WhenI
was just a kid, the yards and yards
of tissue made great bandages
when we played hospital and there
wasn't another thing better to use
when we decided to do horror
stories. Everyone of those has a
mummy you know.
And once we had done the
damage and got a licking from
mum, the cardboard rolls where
just the thing to cheer us up. They
made great musical horns and
when we felt really creative we'd
draw faces on the roll and make
dolls out of them.
Perhaps I have a fixation with
toilet paper, but it always played
an important roll in my. life: After
the doll and doctor stages, toilet
paper took on new meaning for. my
friends and I and it we thought it
was an. ingenious answer to writing
paper. The challenge was to write
the longest t.p. letter and I vaguely.:
remember one of my sagas
stretching out to five feet. But
there was a definite art to toilet
paper letters. - 'Writing with
markers only smeared the author's
words and lead pencils tore the
sensitive paper. But a good
ballpoint pen worked wonders and
careful writers where even able to
compose their t.p. letters on a
typewriter.
But I know I really shouldn't be
telling you about toilet paper.
That's not normal. We're supposed
to discreetly shop for the stuff and
never linger too long in the toilet
paper aisle. TV commercials have
taught us not to squeeze it and
we're never to say "toilet paper"
out loud, only mention it in faint,
embarrassed whispers.
And so good, old, reliable toilet
paper remains.,the silent underdog
in our society. But next time you
look .at your roll, remember to
appreciate it. I mean, where would
we be without it. Just think of the
alternatives!
