' 10. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 8, 1966 ANN LANDERS) Courteous Teenagers Deserve Good Service Dear Ani Landers: I am just/ one teen-ager out of millions who is sick and tired of being treated like scum whenever I go to a restaurant. Yesterday three of us girls (all 15) decided to treat our- selves to a nice lunch. We went to a well-known eating place and just as we were seating ourselves at a table a loud voice yelled: "Sit at the counter." The restaurant was not ¢e . We had come in for lunch, not just a soft drink, so we ignored the order and stayed at the table. When our she acted like she was doing us a favor by taking our order. We waited 30 minutes before our lunch arrived. The ham- burgers were almost raw, the French fries were soggy and burned. We couldn't eat much but we didn't complain. Fifteen minutes later the waitress came over and slammed the check on the table. We decided to tip her what she was worth--one cent each. When the waitress saw the tip she grabbed my girl friend by the arm and said: 'You need this more than I do," and threw the pennies in her face. We feel the waitress was out of line and that we did nothing wrong. What is your opinion? --Persecuted Teens Dear Teens: You girls should not have left the three pennies, If the service was as poor as you described it, no tip would have been the best way to let her know it. The waitress was indeed out Teenagers who conduct themselves like and in restaurants and stores should take their 12 billion dollars a year in spending money else- where. (You heard me, folks.) Dear Ann Landers: Do you think it is right for a' working girl to 'end money to her boy friend? tonio. I live in Houston. We went steady for six months in high sch 4 after eraduatian Harold went into the service and I went to work. I live at home with my folks and pay a small amount for room and board. I have been saving money out.of my salary every month and I want to con- tinue to save for a wedding chest. Harold says he will come to visit me every weekend if I will send him the fare. He has promised to pay me back later. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, why? If not, why not? -- Willing But Uncertain Dear W but U: I think it is a miserable idea. If you make Harold a gift of the weekends (and make no mistake about it, the dough will never be returned) you'll inevi- tably destroy the incentive and the pleasure of the visits. People appreciate what they work for, That which comes easy has little value. Harold sounds like a freeloader and you'd better believe it, honey. THE STARS SAY By ESTRILITA FOR TOMORROW It will be important to watch finances now, Any risky venture --whether in the line of specu-|* lation or spending beyond your means--could get you into hot water. No matter how attrac- tive propositions may sound, give them extremely careful thought before accepting. FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday, your horoscope indicates that you are lucky indeed. According to the stars, there will be sev- eral cycles during the next 12 months which will stand out as better - than - excellent for job, monetary and business affairs. On the occupational and-or bus- iness front, these include the next five weeks, the last half of January, the entire months of May, August, September and the first half of October.

Children Receive Canadian Tuition On Overseas Bases OTTAWA (CP)--From West Germany to Sardinia, 8,000 chil- dren of Canadian armed forces personnel are studying in the same style as kids in Sudbury or Toronto. Dr. Frank Patton, 63, head of the defence department's ever- seas schools, says he's pleased they use Ontario curricula in their kindergarten-to-Grade 13 classrooms. But while the youngsters are being exposed to a Canadian leducation, Dr. Patton feels their mothers should take a broader approach to society. He deplores the tendency of Canadians posted abroad. es- pecially wives, to stick together, seldom meeting Europeans or benefitting from Europe's art collections, music festivals and theatres. a ton's teachers be left with him. Dr. Patton says that although the European school system has its merits, it doesn't go all out to serve all the people. French schools he describes as too bureaucratic, conserva- tive and academic. Technical education is not as well devel- oped as in Canada despite the fact Europeans generally are worried about American lead- ership in electronics, communi- cations and the manufacture of equipment for them. The Germans have an ap- prenticeship program for 14- year-olds who have completed a course similar to Ontario's four-year secondary arts and science program. Students at- tend school one day a week and work the other four, earning a diploma in three years. The Swedes and Japanese have a better system, Dr. Pat- ton says. From pre-apprentice- ship vocational training schools, graduates go into industry and become journeymen in a few years.

The elegant, dapper 62-year- old designer, Alexandria - born son of wealthy Greek parents, realized the strength of his blood-ties five years ago when he opened a boutique in Athens at the request of Queen Fred- erika. "I rediscovered then how much I love my country of ori- gin," he said while visiting Lon- don. Now, he has been given the task of selecting the best native designers working with their own hand-woven or locally-pro- duced fabrics, and tutoring them to produce joint collec- tions, both modern and unmis- takably Greek. "It will take at least five years before we can achieve this, mainly because of the pro- gress that remains to be made in the Greek fabrics industry," Desses says. "Our workmanship is fantas- tic, but the difficulty lies in the supply of raw materials. that, although Greek designers are skilled in copying and adapt- Russia's Peasant Market Typical Of Pre-Revolution Russian Life of private en in a kaa "We also have to face the fact) care; he isn't interested in the sensitivities of his clientele. \ It is sometimes called the kolhoz market--kolhoz being the short form of the Russian word for collective farm. It has had its ups and downs over the years but, like the peasant himself, has proved to be made of durable stuff. Re- cently its position has appar- ently been strengthened with the removal of government-imposed price ceilings. MAJOR PRODUCERS Private plots occupy less than two per cent of all arable land in the Soviet Union but produce 70 per cent of the potatoes, 42 per cent of vegetables, 44 per 'cent of meat, 45 per cent of the milk, 76 per cent of the eggs and about 66 per cent of the fruit and berries. Thus the government-oper- ated kolhoz markets--the gov- arnmont neade them, The majority are open-air af- fairs with covered state stores as appendages. These deal in a variety of goods including hard- ware, boots and shoes, sewing equipment and cloth. A trip to the market affords a revealing glimpse of the Rus- sian peasant, many of whom ap- pear to have just stepped out of the pages of Tolstoy, Dostoyev- sky, Turgenev, Gogol and Chek- Vv. He is rough and primitive, shrewd and cunning, argumen- tative and rude. He is also, on occasion, warm and friendly, even generous. He doesn't ask any quarter and. doesn't give any. He shows more sales initia- tive than the listless personnel ini the state stores. He is con- tinually counting his money. And instead of stopping for lunch, he nibbles at a loaf of bread, processed meat, a fish, fruit or pickle. | FLASHES OF HUMOR | Though intensely absorbed in the work of selling, the market peasants have a strain of humor swimming near the surface.

Weinstein President POWER SUPER MARKETS States the position of his company with regard to the effect of the rising cost of food... "'l say it is uncumbent upon us and the Govern- ment of Canada to explain, to the best of our ability, the reasons for the increase in cost. Certainly . . . modest end profit made in our industry does not suggest that we are taking undue advanage of the public.' Retail Food Prices: "Certain basic foods have risen beyond reasonable bounds.

It may be that Canadian consumers are paying rather dearly for the lucrative export contracts of wheat our Government has arranged. We need to know whether there is a link between higher food prices and wheat exports. 10 years ago more than 25% of the average Canadian wage earners salary was spent on food. By 1962, the most recent year that D.B.S. has issued statistics on this subject -- the average Canadian wage earner spent 23.4% of his Salary on food.

We welcome the Government enquiry". Consumer Boycotts: "The proposed boycott of food markets by various newly formed women's groups in an emotional position aimed at striking a blow at food prices. While | sympathise with these ladies, a store boycott is not an effective way of coping with the problem. Miss Glenora Pearce, spokeswoman for the Canadian Association of Consumers has also stated this publicly. The two most effective ways to bring the price of certain foods down is through a boycott of these offending items, and by consumers banding together in one strong organization to put pressure on our elected officials to move quickly on the problem". Consumer Education: "| do not believe women really know how to shop properly. Knowing how to shop wisely can lower weekly food bills, Women should spend more time shopping for food. They should shop from a shopping list. They should stock up on features when they are on, and they should even shop more than one -store if they think they can get better value for their food dollar that way. Man consumers just do not recognize good value when they see it. For example: last week we had a display of Grade A Large eggs beside a display of Grade A Medium eggs. The large eags were only 3c a dozen more than the Grade A Medium due to market conditions at this time of year. Yet only ¥% of our shoppers recognized that the large eggs were the better buy". Government Regulation: "While we have many good economists in Government they are unfortunately far removed from the everyday realities of the retail market place. We have Government Marketing Boards which, in my opinion, tend to keep some areas of food higher that if these commodities were to find their own level on a supply and demand basis. For example, we are told by Government Marketing Boards that we cannot sell peaches below a certain price level. Or we are told that if we sell potatoes below a certain price we must not advertise that price in our ads. One has to question the validity of this thinking. In order to have sound Government legislation on pack- aging abuses and get answers on the causes of exhorbitant price in- creases on certain foods, qualified executives from all the branches of food industry should be represented on Governmental enquiry panels. During the war years the Government called upon leaders of various industries to help administer various divisions of the War Time Prices and Trade Board. Their specialized knowledge was very use- ful. | believe it could be useful to-day. We believe the consumer is entitled to much more information on food marketing. The informa- tion should be presented by the Press in a manner consurners can understand. 'They should be told what seasonal price adjustments to expect so that they can adjust their food budgets in advance of these fluctuations,
