toe tribune thursday february ltlt s retirement the fourth quarter by leslie holbrook- weu the big grocery chain boys are at it again trying to persuade us that they ate headed for the poor house with their miracle power priced more for your dollar check out for less low low prices with comparative shopping and careful selection of only the items you really need this should enable you to stretch your food budget dollars a bit at least while the price war goes on but i have discovered more permanent ways to save my wife and i watch for sales of course because it is downright silly not to stock up on needed specials mer chants offer to get ou into their stores staples such as light bulps and toilet paper can be purchased much below usual inflated prices if you watch for sales and of course have the cash to buy in quantity i find good offers on household items we use regularly and then have the nerve to ask for an even better price on a full carton but im the kind of guy who on major items asks innocently if they take credit cards when they say certainly i tell them i am paying cash but want a discount equivalent to the fee they wont have to pay the credit card people but back to our little supermarket saving tricks in my socalled retirement i shop with more letters max webster music open door to misery dear sir i was rocked as i read the account of the max webster rock band performance in the stouffville district high school i was particularly disturbed by the total acceptance of this group by those present as the ultimate in good music as a christian woman and a lover of good l music i find it hard to understand by what standard this qualifies as good music at all i wonder if teachers parents and students are really aware of the degrading influence of hard rock on the lives of young people the music is simply junglebeat noise and the lyrics are either sexually suggestive or drug oriented i recommend that parents listen to 1 their childrens rock records and see for themselves i in my opinion because of what i have read and heard on tv interviews most rock groups are part of the drug culture and other associated evils it is also my understanding that most members of these bands openly admit they use drugs are these the kind of people we want the teenagers of stouffville to take as their examples and to be their heroes i am convinced that we are doing our young people a grave injustice by condoning this kind of entertainment when there is so much better music available i believe there is great danger in taking the position that because everybody is doing it it must be alright my father used to tell us dare to be different and you will likely be right i would like to pay special tribute to ar chie stouffer principal and music director of stouffville high school when i was a pupil there a fewyears ago his influence isstill being felt and i know he would be grieved to see this form of entertainment now replacing the beautiful music he taught i would like to suggest that teachers and parents as well as students read the book why not the best by president jimmy carter especially chapter two here he relates the influence his country school teacher miss julia had on his life she taught her pupils to love the very best in music art and literature i believe young people are no different now they cannot appreciate what they are not given the opportunity to hear or learn i also believe the wisdom given us in the bible as we read in in proverbs 226 train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it what a responsibility is on us as adults to see that young people are not left to themselves alone but that we do our best to make available good uplifting character building music no doubt there will be readers who will repeat the old story you are just old fashioned or its the generation gap righteousness beauty and truth do not belong to any one age group they are eternal principles which a

objects to musicians such as max webster in the schools because she feels they contribute to the decay of morality despite her strong views we were unable to catch the lady in a stern mood and had to make do with this laughing picture of her speak of the creator who has given harmony purpose and meaning to all his creation the rock groups through their words music beat and culture speak of frustration despauvand sensuality let us begin now in our homes churches and schools to promote the very best in music and the noisy din and hysteria of rock will be shown for what it is an open door to a life of misery and self destruction yours truly mrs alma oldham r r 2 stouffville my wife usually just once a week for groceries on wed nesdays uben one of the smaller chains gives a 5 per cent discount for seniors and is fair enough to start their weekend bargains on that day too if your grocery chain does not offer such a seniors discount go after them as a group if you are organized while my wife shops carefully from a prepared shopping list essential for thrifty buying i check the marked prices on items we need or other items we use which seem to be bargains when prices are increased i often and some of the low er priced stock at the back of the shelves or elsewhere in the store examples a big impulse- buying display features an item at 45c back on the regular shelf i find 10 bottles at 33c and take the lot saving 1 20 tooth brushes we use are priced as high as 1 09 in one store a big chains usual price is 79c they have a comeon sale offering them at 49c i buy a dozen saving 3 60 a large size toilet bowl cleaner the name brand on my wifes list is marked the same price as the small size saving 30c soda biscuits on our list are freshly marked 73c back of the shelf they are still 65c three boxes saving 24c toothpaste regularly 1 27 is on sale at 87c a 25c good on your next purchase coupon brings the price to 62c a saving over buying when you run out of 65c so that day we checked out with a saving of 5 99 which is as much or more than those grinning people in the grocery ads claim to save by shopping a certain chain send your questions and contributions to

dear sir as an educator of teenagers for over 20 years i think it is poor taste to include in john montgomerys article a photograph of the reporter sharing a beer in the stouffville high school dressing room between sets i am sure that you have seen recent reports in at least three other york region newspapers on the rising and indiscriminate use of beer and alcoholic beverages by teenagers with king city used as an example area in fact at king city secondary school on feb 1 regular school has been suspended for an all day awareness program students will participate in a choice of seminars films and workshops on alcoholism and alcohol abuses again may i suggest recon sider our sense of values sincerely keith a carson sharon ed note as an educator of teenagers for over 20 years
