The Spndards Council of
Canada reports that the people
who complain most as consumers,
are those who can afford to pay,
are educated , and are English
speaking. The same was said in
the U.S. at the time of the peat
boycott last spring. Many of these
people apparently have 'never
learned what a good balanced diet
is. Take the Ornsteins, a
Montreal family with an income
'of $15 - '$18,000. The Canadian
Magazine reported that they
spent weekly $37.50 on food. She
calls hot dogs, a basic staple for
kids. I don't want to comment on
the food vahle of hot dogs. Draw
any conclusion you like. It's for a
good 'deal fats and cereals. The
Ornsteiris can only afford ribsteak
once a month, the poor, devils.
When they had visitors, four of
them. recently, they had to feed
them brisket and the- cheapest
vegetable she could find, tA; tsk.
They can't afford imported wine

Dear Ann Landers: We live in an
area that has had several
:breakins. My wife asked me to
buy a watchdog. I've heard that
pigs are 'smarter than dogs and
I'd like to try a watch-pig. Have-
you heard of this? Do you think
my neighbours would mind?

Comment.
Sometimes concern is voiced
about the increased size of
landholdings in Canada. Take for
instance people like MP Jack
Horner, who owns 18,000 acres,in
Alberta. In Denmark they put a
stop to this, by limiting land-
holdings to 500 acres. Prince
Edward Island is getting
concerned enough. A royal
commission there recommended
200 acre limits for land on all
partnerships and companies.
You may have thought that
they were out of style, but a US
