Bais in the Belfry - Now Bricks in the Biffy

Water consumption figures reported
to Castlegar council at its last meeting in *
D ber showed a sut | increase
in water consumption the previous month
with nearly 50 per cent more water being
used in November than in the same month
a year ago,

Speculation over the reason for the
increase ranged from increased growth, a ©
leak in the distribution system, or possibly
residents keeping their taps running during
the cold spell to keep their pipes from
freezing.

Some years ago, when Castlegar was
still a village, members of our municipal
council wrestled — as they do nearly every
year — with the subject of water. Some-
times the problem is the hardness of the
water, sometimes its the inadequacy of the
water supply, and sometimes its the cost
of pumping water, or of expanding the

ic water di

some eight months ago Tilly Spetgong, a
serious gal with an equally goofy idea,
walked into a city council meeting In
Cherry Hill, New Jersey, carrying a brick.
One council member ducked under the
table, but he needn’t have, because all
Tilly wanted was to have council put a
brick in every tollet tank in town.

The unusual proposal to save water
stunned council members, but it was ap-
proved, And it so convulsed the City of
Cherry Hill's population of 65,000 that they
swiftly accepted the scheme — to become
probably the first community with a brick
in nearly every toilet.

The idea is that the brick takes up
space in a toilet tank, displacing a small
amount of water that is not necessarily
needed for flushing.

“lt was a wacky idea that got people
laughing, and also made them aware that
people pollute and that people can con-
serve,” sald Mrs, Spetgong, a 44-year-old

system,

“After the congratulations . .. ask them to send you a copy suitable fog framing

At any rate, one commissioner (as
aldermen were then called) came up with
a brilliant idea: to save water, he sug-
gested (albeit with tongue in cheek), resi-
dents should be encouraged to flush their
toilets only after every other using. With
some 2¥2 gallons of water being used
every flushing, he saw great direct savings
in the amount of water used, and indirect
savings in the delay which would occur
in the need for money bylaws to expand
the community's distribution system.

But maybe that unk issic
er's goofy idea wasn’t so goofy, because

and now, admittedly, “ralses the dickens.”
Council anted up $2,000 to buy 34,000
hardened bricks, the kind that won't break
up in any kind of water and enough for
every toilet in the city’s 17,000 homes.
Mrs. Spetgong estimates that if the
average family of four flushes a total of
20 times a day, Cherry Hill will save 34
million gallons of water every year.
Some people do their best thinking in
the bathroom. Mrs. Spetgong — and that
Castlegar commissioner — are
obviously two such people,

activities. For that he won
the Nobel Peace Prize.

For the pseudo-sophis-
ticates, Pearson exhibited
the “just plain folks” ap-
proach; the real kindness
which "really helped ordin-
ary people to let him know

what was on their minds.

During last. summer's

provincial election campai-.

gn, one party leader ‘sfress-
ed over and over, tHat he.
wanted to lead a govern-
ment which would be con-
ciliatory, not divisive—one
which would bring people,
together,

Later that year, the
same man was deeply mov-
ed when a_ school choir
sang “Let thei ere be Peace
on Earth”, and “Let it Be-
gin in Me”. He said that
such a personal quest for
peace should be the objec-
tive of government.

That man sounded, at
those times, mitch like Pear-
son eonsistenely acted. I be-
lieve many British Colum-
Sians would like to see 55
such men and women in the
provincial legislature during
this coming spring session.

The fact of the matter
is, they can all be that way
if they want to—in spite of
what cynics in. the back
rooms and the media may
say. Pearson proved it,
didn't he? oe

fits or being an MLA—even
