50 so for help time pass quickly for Ludger Ramme Rotary ex change student who has been living in Barrie On Saint Nicholas Day No candy for German student By MARY DELANEY The Examiner Today is December in some countries Saint Nicholas Day or Little Christmas But for the first time in his I7 years Ludger Ramme will not find any candy in his shoes when he wakes up In fact he wont even have bothered to put his shoe out the window Ludger is in Canada now thousands of miles from his native Muelheim an der Ruhr in West Germany and far from the Christmas traditions of his homeland He is an exchange student with Rotary International liv ing at the home of Bill Daldwell in Letitia Heights And right now he is preparing for Canadian Christmas aan lana dian winter warm smile spreads over his face as he talks about all the Christmas goodies of his native Germany the stollcn his mother makes hope she sends one Hell have turkey instead of goose for his hristmas din ner this year and will open his gifts on Christmas day in stead of Christmas Eve And of course he misses out on all the treats of Saint Nicholas Day The Christmas tree remains the same although in Ger many it is called the tannenbaum and is almost never tacky plastic imitation dont like these says Ludger emphatically And the carols he will sing here in English will be largely the same as those he sang at home in German since most of our carols originated in Germany and other northern Euro pean countries The biggest difference in the Christmas season for boy who loves sports will be the chance to enjoy the great Cana dian pasttimes of skiing skating and tobogganing His Christmas present from his parents came early money to OTTAWA CP govern ment report says pattern of lower wages for women is oer sisting across Canada The unpublished report by the womens bureau of the federal labor department says WataIan imagine glorious healthylooking ton all winter long Your friends will think youve been taking frequent

THINK SNOW So now its think snow for Ludger along with all the other ski enthusiasts His home town only gets dusting in winter enough to make things awkward but not fun And since his family always holidays in Spain hes never really had chance to experience the pleasures or the pains of bliuards drifts or snowball down his neck At l7 hes at great age to enjoy not only the Canadian winter but all aspects of life in foreign country The language is no problem Ilc speaks fluent English and French and actually chose Canada as the country he would like to live in because of the large Irrcnch population and bit ingualism Ironically he has since dropped French at school because he finds the Canadian version so unlike the Iarisiennc French he knows He says it was doing him more harm than good to study it in school here was afraid would lose my larisiennc accent At home with the Yaldwclls life is not very much diffcrcnt than back in Muclhcim Ilis family with doctor father and four children is very similar in tastes Intercsts and social status as the aldwclls He even has llilly faldwcll 14 to substitute for his liycanold brotlicr in Germany couldnt have found better place says Ludger Ile fits iii perfectly at home and at school He doesnt even mind having to repeat his year of trade 12 when he returns to Ger many Its worth it He claims he never Is liorncsick but admits that he receives letters from home almost every day and writes four or five times week to family and Irirnds The letters help the time go go quickly Ihcycar he says Wlll rush by Barr ing mail strike that

crude and offensive Actually Cold Ethyl is just harmless number about necrophilia The point want to make is that the kids are not bothered by this their parents are The kids see the song and gruesome antics like with the guillotine for ex actly what it is satire done with sense of humor to rock roll beat Kids know am harmless Its their parents that make me out to be some kind of monster would like to see you print this in your column Ann Sincerely Alice ooper Dear Alice Cooper Thank you for writing For those who dont know what necrophilia is its sex ual intercourse with someone who is lead You can call it funny if you want to Alice call it sick like satire as much as the next person but chopping off heads and sporting blood all over the place is not my idea of entertainment caught your guillotine number in hicago several years ago and almost lost my supper Guess Im an uncool cat You have in your group some exceptionally talented per formers and youre no slouch yourself Alice Just

lyrics to rock roll songs am 17 years of age and have grown up with rock roll It isnt one bit dirty Its the way peoplc of this generation think and talk Anyone who sHs something filthy in rock roll lyrics must havr polluted inind Some rock roll songs have beautiful philosophy They tell about being good to animals and neighbors and friends and even parents and brotlicis and sisters If you want to go aftcr thc rcal liltli that pcoplc arc hooked on take look at the soap operas Thats Yfillt generation not ours bet youll nevcr print this Former Fan Dear Former You lose Read on Dear Ann Landers was delighted to sec letter in re cent column complaining about the filthy lyrics in rock music But why stop there Have you listened to the lyrics of todays country music Since reading that letter have listened to our local country station for an hour or so Have you paid any at tcntion to the lyrics of Good Thin ant Wait Put Your Tlothcs in Girl alk in My Sleep Behind Tlosed Doors Add to that Gotta Have Some IlotStuff tur problem is not our young people its the adults And topping the problem are the songwriters aan promoters of this trash The man was no fool who said Id rather write Americas

complaints from rock roll fans am in no shape to take on the lovers of country music Erma Bombeck Less waxing next time Hy ERMA HUMISECK Someone asked me the other day if had my life to live over would change anything My answer was no but then thought about it and changed my mind If had my life to live over again would have waxed less and listened more Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy and complaining about the shadow over my feet Id have cherished every minute of it and realized that the won derment growing inside me was to be my only chance in life to assist GodJn miracle would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed would have invited friends over to dinner even if the car pet was stained and the sofa faded would have eaten popcorn in the good living room and worried less about the dirt when you lit the fireplace would have taken time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth would have sat crosslegged on the lawn with my children and never worried about grass stains would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching real life would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband which took for granted would have eaten less cottage cheese and more ice cream would have gone to bed when was sick instead of pre tending the earth would go into holding pattern if werent therefor day would never have bought ANYTHING just because it was practical or wouldnt show soil or was guaranteed to last lifetime When my child kissed me impetuously would never have said Later Now go get washed up for dinner There would have been more love yous more Im sorrys more Im listenings but mostly given another shot at life would seize every minute of it look at it and really see it try it on live it exhaust it and never give that minute back until there was nothing left of it Pollys Pointers Pop spot on rug DIIAH PULLY So many of the Iointcrs have proved helpful to me would appreciate hearing if you have suggestion for removing red soda spot from my gold living room rug MARIE DEAR MARIE presume the red soda spot is the result of soft drink being spilled One should work on soft drink stains promptly which of course you can not do this time but should remember for the future One of the national rugcleaning institutes recommends sponging several times with water and blot so as to not saturate the backing First use detergent solution on the stain and that would be made with two teaspoons of synthetic deter gent in two cups of warm water Apply this with medi cine dropper and rub with soft cloth in circular motion Sponge again with clean warm water blot with damp cloth and be careful not to saturate If possible put piece of plastic under the rug while you work If stain remains pour onefourth cup white vinegar into threefourths cup water and apply with dampened cloth Leave on about 15 minutes blot and rinse Use the damp cloth in the direction of the pile of the rug during the last blotting Do test anything for effect on color and fabric Good luck POLLY on DRAPERIES cum IIIIIrEo For shop at home call 19
