When people used newspaper (instead of loo roll) in the toilet in the past, did they flush it?

I'm just curious if it blocked the pipes? I can't imagine putting newspaper down the loo nowadays. Modern loo paper is pretty thin & looks like it dissolves easily.

Oh I remember the tracing paper loo roll.
Our neighbours used it. I hated going to the loo in their house. I'd usually try and make it home. But sometimes they'd look after me if Mum was gone out for a shortish time and I'd have to use their loo.
