My find­ ings were amazing, First qf all, the homemaker who shops with a small child in tow is less apt to go over her grocery budget than the gal who shops alone, That’s true. Although it could be morephsy- cological than anything else, an empty grocery cart in the hands of a woman with an hour or two to kill is a weapon designed to boost the economy and break down family relations. A lady alone in the super­ market is apt to be carried aloft by grand ideas about sav­ ings, trying new recipes, stock­ piling certain supplies, testing new products and conserving . time. She may browse in the . houseware section just long enough to convince herself that she needs an ornamental orange slicer or a purple plant pot. She may even pick up a few items at. the miscellaneous counter which will come in handy in case she is invited to a wedding shower or a bar mit­ zvah. • With a tiny tot in the shopping cart, half the available mer­ chandise space has been filled What’s more, the object then is not to shop and compare, but to grab exactly what you need and get home before the kid has to go to the toilet or throws a temper tantrum. I have also learned that a family of five can get by on $25 worth of groceries each week or they dan devour $50 worth of goodies in the same time. At our house for instance, it' doesn’t seem to matter how much food is in the cupboard. My gang can lunch and nibble until the whole pack Is gone ... or thpy can be quietly well* fed on a smaller quantity of food. Canadians are generally over-fed they tell us, and I think if food budget? put in half we’d all manage to have our appetite? satisfied with slim­ mer waistlines as a bonus. just as it is an advantage to take at least one little tyke to. the grocery store, it is a dis­ tinct error to take an older child who can read or even com­ prehend those things he sees on television. At the cereal shelf for ex­ ample, the budget pan get out of 'kilter in a jiffy. The plain oat­ meal that mother would buy is pooh-poohed by the children who want sugar-coated this or that or honey-dippedsomethingelse, Manufacturers who put toys in, on or around their products are favorites with the kids and gim­ micks which give the illusion of being educational are instant winner?; guaranteed to shoot the final tallyovertheidealamount. Husbands are another doubt­ ful contribution to the shopping trip, They have devious ways of getting razor blades, cigaret­ tes, cough candies and mask­ ing tape into the shopping cart. It only takes one set of wrenches .from the hardware section to ruin a week’s menu planning and chances are father will never use the wretched gadgets picked up on impulse. The result of my study was plain. Shop late in the day - rush hour is good — with a minimum of one small child (borrowed if necessary). Visit the store when you have the least amount of time and money. It’s the only way to live with­ in your means. The following article Ap­ peared in the new .Shades of Black and White, the official school paper of the Students’ Council of Central Huron Se­ condary School, It should be noted here that the News-Record made efforts to obtain pictures and data re­ garding the new teachers at the school shortly after classes began last fall, the unanimous opinion of the staff such publicity was sirable. ’ It is understood editor in chief of the school paper, Vince Ryan, that the, staff hopes to run pictures and story about the school depart- , ment heads ip the twice-month­ ly school publication. We have been granted permission to use these in the News-Record, and we are hopeful that this is the' first of a series to follow. -SJK.- - was that, not de* from the Old post office should be demolished by this week-end just such a teacher, Mr. Ian Fraser. Mr. Fraser is a westerner by birth, being born in Moose, jaw. While still young, he moved to Toronto and then to Oakville, ' where he received most of his schooling. His high-school years ' were by no means dull; he admitted that he was no angel, as most students feel their tea­ chers must have been. In high* school Mr. Fraser joined in school activities which included’ Air Cadets, and was later a 'civilian instructor for the Air Cadets, As a student, he had not planned to be a teacher; in fact lie wanted to be an. aeronaut­ ical engineer,or a professional musician. He was a member of .. a band, and wanted eventually to become a concert pianist. However today Mr. Fraser feels that he would scarcely know hOw to play the piano. For a while Mr. Fraser want­ ed to .join the clergy as, so Man told, did quite a few teach­ ers, but this , idea was also abandoned, ’ Teaching began as an experi­ ment. He simply wanted to try i he Is talcing extension courses towards Tils M.Af He feels that a Ph. p. is just about out of reach Mr, Fraser chose to teach English because he felt it would give him more freedom than other subjects. His appearance at CHSS constituted his first “stab” at, teaching, and after three years, he became English Department Head., Mr. Fraser feels that CHSS is more liberal than most other institution?: and, when talking with teachers from other schools, finds that he ha? more ’ freedom to teach what he pleases and how he pleases. He says that CHSS has fewer rules than most' schools and feels that an “Honour System’* is all that is really needed to make CHSS the most vanced school liberal and ack in tiiis area. Supports an The big red brick post office in the heart of Clinton is being • demolished this week. Hubert Miller, R, R. 1 Dashwood and his crew began last Thursday ’ tb~ feke down the former fed- feral building piece by piece. The job is expected to be com*- pleted by the weekend “if the weather holds.” Cost of. wrecking the struo ture is $2,100. “We salvage what we can,” explained Mr. Miller. He said rumors that lumber from the building was being hauled di­ rectly to the sawmill were false, although he added “she’s in pretty good shape.” Initial stage was to remove the former Customs Office built in 1937. Trickiest operation of all advised Mr. Miller, will be to lower the main post office built in 1903 by the late S. S, Cooper. A plaque previously displayed in the former post'office lobby has been taken to the new office on King Street Morly Counter, a former postmaster in Clinton reported this week that the plaque was inscribed: “Erected AD 1903, Hon. H. J. I, Tarte and Hon. James Sutherland, Ministers of Public Works, Robert Holmes, MP for West Huron, S. S. Cooper, contrac* tor.** Mr. Counter remembers that the postmaster in 1903 was James Scott and that Robert Holmes, the editor of the Clin*, ton New Era, held the West Huron seat in the federal government for the Liberals. First in a series .^English 1nUSu0Jma5y it 0U^ the iclea that .> jobs were still to be had. Mr. Fraser went to Univer­ sity of Western Ontario, Alt- house College, and Waterloo College for his uni versify' ed­ ucation and his B.A.; and, his education is not yet over, as drudge of all Grade 13 students. However occasionally the students of a school are lucky enough to have a teacher who is able to make the material interesting which must be covered, and at times even'- enjoyable. And at CHSS we have' U ■( Mr. Fraser “Honour System” because he feels that rules create here­ tics and that every stu­ dent should rightly value the as­ sets' of the school and apprec­ iate what it has to offer. He also adds that every student should face his own faults as an adult. Mr. Fraser believes that the school should encourage above average work and should emphasize quality and compet­ ence. As a closing remark he stated that a school is a place for “sharp” people doing “sharp” things. 154 Beech St., Clinton (Near DriveUn Theatre) OPEN EVERY SATURDAY MORNING 10 A-M.
