they led me to believe they agreed The 18yearold felt quite strongly about remaining virgin until marriage even though shed been dating young man steadily for year Three months ago was shocked to learn that the 18year old is having sex with her boyfriend My feelings of disap pointment and anger run very deep Although still dont ap prove of her behavior Im trying to maintain the same rela tionship with her that existed before Both my husband and hate the fact that she has been sneaking around and lying to us especially feel betrayed and have opened my mouth few time when should have kept it shut Recently tried to discuss pregnancy and birth control with her but she sai she didnt want to talk about it at least not with me ould juSt drop the subject or keep trying My husband and

bag of cereal maggots in raisins rotten dried milk margarine or some form of fattening Lnstead of the butter thought was buying What can Fortunately it wasnt just one person who had these com plaints but several individuals who were chatting about the value of registering these complaints and wanting to know to whom to write Each of them had returned their pur chases to the supermarkets and had received their money back or fresh product What was bothering these ladies was how could they prevent such laxity from happening again Simcoe County Health Unit receives complaints about foods unfit to eat and acts very quickly if sanitary condi tions at the store are under question The ministry of agriculture and food should be called if you suspect the butter you have bought is not pure Last year there were incidents of this occuring in Simcoe County representative will call take particulars as well as the product itself which will be sent to the University of Guelph for analyzing Last but certainly not least the processors should receive complaint from you They appreciate consumers letting them know and it enables them to doublecheck their inspec tion control departments Both humans and machine can make mistakes but the final control of quality is up to us as consumers Making justified complaint is one of the most important responsibilities of consumers Not many can be bothered to do it because of the time and cost involved have found it to be more effective if address my complaint to the Office of the President Company addresses are briefly given on the packages More detailed addresses can be obtained from Trade Index available at the public library Consumers have another responsibility when buying food and that is to give respect to fresh and frozen products of fered for sale Managers complain that it is amazing how often shoppers squeeze toss or nibble the soft fresh fruit and vegetables or leave frozen goods on an unrefrigerated shelf Such silly acts
