Facts N' Fancies
By Gwyn

Bringing up parents is a tough
job.
Any youngster will tell you
that!
My kids inform me that my
job of raising them is a breeze
compared to what they go
through to get me clued in to
the late 20th century.
It seems my ideas, outmoded
and outlandish, are so ingrained
that bringing me into line is a
most discouraging task for them.
But they keep trying.
Starting with thy appearance
they beleaguer me about my
clothes, my hair style and
make-up.
"Shorten your skirts. Buy a
wig," they implore. "And for
Goodness Sake stop wearing that
dreadful red lipstick!"
I believe that lipstick should
have nice bright, cheerful names
like Cherry Red or Apple Blush
and I still like to use a little
rouge.
This is just further proof that
I'm over the hill.
Now it is a crime to admit
you even possess lips so you
cover them up with some kind
of pale glunk that makes your
mouth look like a hole in your
face.
I suppose this makes sense
since the modern eye make-up
leaves most eyes looking like
two burnt out coals, and I guess
three holes in the head is better
than none!
My reading habits are
atrocious too.
"Look at this trash", stormed
one daughter recently as she
swept through the books beside
my bed . . "Not a decent book
among them. Why don't you go
to the library and get yourself
some good reading material."
What she really meant, of
course, was that my bed-time
reading didn't include anything
with the modernistic, sexy
trend.
Anyway, I took her advice
and visited the library.
I mulled over the shiny new
books . . . read the flap covers
about stories in the raw and the
way things really are with
everything hanging out.
Finally I chose a book from a
shelf, slipped it under my coat
and headed for home. Sneaking
into the house I slipped into the
bedroom where I hid it under
my mattress.
At supper time I assured my
daughter I had taken her advice
and got a 'good book' to read.
I could hardly wait 'til the
dishes were done and it was late
enough for me to slide decently
away from the family and into
bed to enjoy an evening of
powerful reading.
Digging the book out from
under the mattress, I settled
back and opened the cover.
Before I was through the
preface I was chuckling. By the

time I was into the second
chapter, tears of laughter,
streaming down my face hid the
words before me.
The family rushed in to find
me hysterical . . rolling
helplessly on the bed and
completely convulsed by the -
words I had been reading.
My daughter snatched the
book from my hands.
"Oh, Mother," she cried in
disgust, "you are incorrigible."
She read the title, "The Best
of Stephen Leacock," and threw
it back at me.
My choice of entertainment is
rotten too.
When I go to a movie or play
I like to have fun, to be lifted up
and feel better for having been
there.
Sometimes I attend a movie
with my older children and on
the way out they discuss the
show in terms of surrealism,
realism, naturalism, symbolism,
and several other 'isms. Since I
do not understand what these
words mean I innocently remark
that it was a dirty movie and not
worth the time or money spent
on it.
The children roll their eyes
heavenward, throw up their
hands in despair and regard me
with eyes filled with real
anguish.
It's the same with everything
. . . politics, religion ... I'm just
not with it.
But, like I said before, the
kids are persevering and if they
keep trying hard they may find
us thinking much more alike in
the next five or ten years.
THERE MAY BE HOPE
FOR ME, YET.
When I was young, I knew it all.

I long expounded, but could
never figure
Just why my audiences weren't
bigger.
Well, now that I'm older I know
nothing at all.
I'm completely bewildered by
events that befall.
I'm confused, I'm befuddled,
I'm out of touch
There's not a thing I know of
much,
But still, there is one saving
grace,
I've raised me a family to save
my face.
They know everything from A
to Zee
And can straighten out their
father and me!

Guilty shoppers cause
increase in food prices
One reason food prices are so .corn? This means that a produce
high today is The .Shopper!. Not man is continually discarding
the average shopper but the damaged produce and
minority which makes us all bear straightening up the display, One
the increased cost of food. solution has been prepackaged
For example, have you ever produce, While most shoppers
seen a consumer pick up an item .dislike prepackaged produce,
and by the time they reached they probably .dislike the price
the next aisle over, decided they increases that follows excess
really didn't need it? Instead of handling IOSSes,
returning it to its proper place,
they just put it down anywhere.
If it was a refrigerated or frozen
item, it would have to be
discarded when finally located.
In addition, this kind of practice
keeps a stock clerk busy just
tidying up and returning-. other
items to their proper shelf. This
means that the store has to raise
the prices to cover these extra
and unnecessary expenses.
Another reason that causes It's a shame that the average
prices to rise stems from those shopper who doesn't leave items
customers who must "test" on the wrong shelf; or
everything for freshness. We're manhandles produce; or takes
all for fresh produce, but must shopping carts off the premises,
one snap beans, squeeze mush bear the cost of those who
tomatoes and strip back ears of do.
And of course, everybody has
seen supermarket shopping carts
all over the place. The loss in
carts each year must be
astronomical when you think
that each cart costs around $35.
Theft in the store is yet
another major contributor to the
high cost of food. Shoplifting
accounts for nearly one percent
of gross sales yearly.
