"To that +$%*& machine down there I'm Keller on one envelope and Kieller on another. It doesn't matter that I'm fed up with it because there is nothing anyone can do to change the so called. mind of that bucket of bolts." Well, he wasn't just right about that. The address could be changed but at great expense. h a!" shouted my husband. "That's another story. Computers are supposed to save us money but as far as I'm concerned they cost far more than they are worth. In the old days if I wanted an' address changed, I'd just write to somebody and a $50 per week secretary would take her pen and scratch put the old address and write in the new. It took about two minutes and cost just a few pennies." Of course he had, a point but then he had to coneider the overall Performance. Certainly the computer was much faster than any $50 per week secretary could ever hope to be. I had him. Gradually his face returned to its normal color and his cheekbone stopped twitching. The seizure was over for another time. "Dang fool junk," he muttered as he stuffed the day's entire mail into the garbage pail. I'd rather get bills than that stuff." Well, that's his opinion. Frankly I'd trade bills for useless mail any day. In fact, I'd trade bills for almost anything — except more bills. .,„„„„„„„„„„m„„„„„„„„„0 .. „,„,,„,..„„...,,...„„.....,,,,,,,,,....,,„„..,,,,,,,,,,„,. I NEWS OF HENSAL s i 1 = .E. ie. • , By MRS.

I don't know whether the mailman gets tired of carrying those useless pieces of garbage about in les mail pouch but I get very weary of finding them deposited in my mailbox along with my other mail. But if you think I get upset, you ought to see my husband storm over a mail delivery like the one today. I tell you ,• hell bath no fury like my husbandl after he has sorted through a pack of useless mail: He has even gone so far as to write to certain companies and ask them — no, tell them — to stop mailing their +$%*& junk to us. It doesn't do any good of course, but it makes him feel better. Not too long ago I learned how much it costs for a company to set up for computer mailing to' change an address. It was absolutely ridiculous. I think it was something like $75. Today my husband started to rant and to rave again about "this danged foolstuff" and warned me he was going to put 'a stop to it. I explained to him what I'd learned about computer mailing. That was the wrong thing to say. I wouldn't want you to get the impression my husband is old-fashioned, but I can" tell you he doesn't take too kindly to computers. He works for a firm where computers are taking over the bookkeeping system and to hear my husband, tell it, you'd think every invoice was filled with errors too numerous' to count, Now to learn that computers were to blame for the mailing mistakes which couldn't' be easily corrected was just too much for my darling. He shouted, "I'm just a nuietbelkeYouthknowee Yofere" just a nimibereIfee-wes three and you were one we could never be four, you know. These multi-million dollar contraptions are too +$%*& stupid to add it up right. We'd never be Mr. and Mrs. Keller by the computer. We'd always be three and one!" He was probably quite right in his deliberations but I really Harry Williams 482-6633 CLINTON DistribUtor for all Shell Oil Products SHELL CHEMICALS HI-C PROJECT The Hi-C Fellowship of the United Church is asking congregational participation in a special help project it is sponsoring.
