KENNETH McCOLL I always considered myself fairly knowledgeable, if somewhat inexperienced, in the ways of the world, For example, I keep my car doors locked and I take provisions to protect myself from pickpockets, and I admit freely that con-men do exist, Some people call this mistrust; others call it being realistic, In any case, my education in these so-called "ways of the world" got a giant boost when I encountered a girl who must be the best salesman since doorbells were invented for Avon ladies to ring. This gal was not selling cosmetics. In fact the whole point of the sale was that until you started to sign your name to the cheque, you weren't sure that she was selling anything. The only way to do true justice to this tale of woe and at least partial personal victory would to be print, verbatim, the con- versation with this girl, whose name I found out later was Ann. (She was talking so fast that I didn't catch it the first two times she said it). Anyway, since I don't have total recall, don't take shorthand at 140 words per minute, and didn't have a tape recorder with me, I can only attempt to reproduce the significant portions of our chat (for want of a better word). A knock came on the door just as I was getting ready to sit down for supper. I just yelled for her to come in and when I looked up a girl of about 19 was standing there with her hand stuck out ready to be shook and talking so fast that all I got were the last three words of her speel, "per- sonnel department job". She went on to say that she had to talk to 35 people a day for two minutes each and asked if she could sit down. She seemed like a nice friendly girl and although I still wasn't sure what just what was going on, I told her to go ahead, if she didn't mind if I ate. Between bites of meat pie and salad I learned, or at least thought I learned, that she was from someplace in Saskat- chewan, that she was one of a group of young people working their way across the country, and that she got so many points for each person she talked to. (And then she shook my hand for the second time). me part of that and send the rest in and sure it's only for a short- term subscription and I really appreciate what you're doing for me," she said. (And as she caught her breath, she shook my hand for the fifth time). "$31 I" I almost exploded. "Where do I come off paying $31 for three magazine subscriptions I don't even want?". At this point, her liking of me started to fade somewhat. But I must say, however, that the smile never left her face as she said, "Here you are. All you have to do is sign here and I will get my 200 and 50 odd points. I really ap- preciate what you're doing for me," she repeated, With pen in hand I looked down and realized that what I was about to sign was a cheque for $23, Until then, I wasn't certain that I was going to have to pay for anything. At this point, with half of my supper finished, and the other half stone-cold I said, "Listen, I refuse to pay that much money," Only then did she even intimate that I could buy only one or two subscriptions. I don't know whether I am just exceptionally slow on the pick-up, or whether it affects everyone the same, Well, she walked out of my apartment with one "short-term" subscription (which, as it figures, is going to last me for seven and one half years) and just 30 points. But you know, I really hope she does get that prize. Because if she does, it means that I was taken by one of the best high pressure salesmen in the country. Photo by Haugh MR. AND MRS.

(I think I forgot to mention that she had to accrue at least 10,000 points to be eligible for this $500 prize). "How much is it going to cost me?" I inquired, with the Scot- tish part of my blood starting to boil. "Well, just a minute and I'll figure it out," she said, as she picked up her little carbon form and started to write. "But I know you're just doing this because you like me, and -I sure like you." (And she put down her pen long enough to shake my hand for the fourth time.) "Yes, I do like you," I said, "but how much is it going to cost me and don't do any more writing." "Just a minute. I have it right here," she said, as she com- pletely ignored my orders. "It's only $31, and you only give Then she mentioned that there was a $500 prize for the person with the most points at the end of the contest". "What contest?" I asked, thinking I must have missed something very important. "What do you do? Where did you go to school? Where t do you come from? And have you travelled much?" she fired at me, without answering my original question. I couldn't figure out what this had to do with any contest, but she persisted, so I told her what she wanted to know without divulging any really personal information, In my naivety, I thought this must have something to do with the number of points she had to get. "I know you like me and I really like you," she said. (And she shook my hand for the third time). "And I know you really want me to win the $500," she con- tinued. I couldn't figure out just what this had to do with where I went to school, but then the old wheels started to click. "What are you doing again?" I asked for the third or fourth time. I recalled that a few months ago, a girlfriend was accosted by a guy who gave her much the same line and ended up taking her for something like $24 worth of magazine subscriptions. The only time I ever ran into anyone selling magazines was one time I was hitch-hiking in Waterloo, We got a ride with this guy selling subscriptions and he dropped us off in the middle of nowhere when we said we weren't interested. Wouldn't it be funny, I thought, if all this was just a come-on for selling magazines. But to tell you the truth, I didn't really seriously consider the possibility, because up until this time, there had been no hint of a sales pitch. Then she dropped what almost proved to be the bomb that forever im- poverished the women's editor. "What school are you associated with?" I asked, hoping beyond hope that it was some sort of personnel job training course. "Oh, I'm not with a school," she answered with some reluc- tance. We are sponsored by McLean-Hunter".

The program included vocal numbers by the quartet, Neba Scott, Ruth Hupfer, Sarah Stephenson and Barb McCut- cheon with Mary Bryans as pianist for the afternoon. Selections by the rhythm band and square dancing by a group of the ladies rounded out the program which was introduced by Rev. E.L. Drew. Treats were given to each member of the home by the ladies. Marie Flynn, Mary Taylor, Norman Speir and Jerry Collins provided the music for the family night program. This activity which is normally held Monday was changed for this week as we have had visiting groups on the Monday afternoons in May. Two new residents, Margaret Kehn, Dashwood' and Mary VanCamp, Exeter, were welcomed to the home. The program included dance num- bers by Debbie Flynn, vocal and instrumentals by Sandra and Ken Dale and Earl Flynn.
