Speaking of which. why do the baggers at supermarkets always put all the canned goods in one bag, and the kleenex. toilet paper and rice in the other, so that the customer goes out the door with a list like the Titanic going down?

"It's only once in a blue moon. and I'll enjoy the luxury and the terrific service." It is to laugh. Luxury? It was a hotel room, like 50.000 others. Except that this one was so draughty you had to turn the thermostat up to 80 to keep from shivering. Service'? Oh, the service was great. Especially room service. Tired and frazzled, I decided I didn't want to seek out a dining room and eat alone. Thought I'd stay in my room. have a sand- wich, read the paper. watch the news on TV. That news was the only thing for which they didn't extract blood. Country boy, without con- sulting the menu. I ordered one martini, one roastbeef sandwich. one small pot of coffee (three cups t.

Scrambled eggs. cold and watery. on a cold plate. Toast. limp. wet and cold. on a cold plate. The coffee was OK. Bill. about $5.80. plus surtax and tip. A great way to start the day Rather exorbitant for three Cups of coffee. the only thing fit to imbibe. don't you think? Sure. it's a luxury hotel. But who wants to swim in January? Who needs a massage at $7.00 a rattle? Who needs a haircut at $3.50 or a shoeshine at half a Kuck? Who needs to pay over 40 cents for a cup of coffee? Surely there is a place in Canadian society for homey. comfortable hotels. like those in England. where you might pay $30.00 a day for two. with a huge, hot and hearty breakfast thrown in. Being skinned alive is an un- comfortable way to go. "Your Family Health Centre" 373 Main St. Phone 235-1570 or 235-1070 EXETER PHARMACY LTD.
