"Your' Friendly Neighbourhood Ptib" DEAR CUSTOMERS: We would like to explain a rumour that has been passed around. It is about the Health Inspector coming in to close the restaurant for a day because of "re -frying" food. This is not so. We did close one week for Christmas holidays. We have heard this rumour fromdifferent people. We would like to say that the per- son who started this rumour is very careless, and 99% of the customers take their leftover food home in a doggie bag, which leaves nothing left.

Am I talking about khaki culottes or sailor blouses with satin knickers? No, I'm talking about an even bigger fashion show stopper - the sweat suit. You see, you can tell that I was right in on the beginning of the sweat suit fad. My sweat (or jogging suit, if you prefer) is basic sweat suit grey. The basic grey, fleece lined cotton knit sweat suit paved the way for all the attractive colours and styles that followed. The basic grey was found in a pair of very baggy pants with elastic cuffs and a draw string waist. The top is usually a pull over, with a kangeroo pocket in the front, and a hood, also operated with a drawstring. Today, sweat suits can be found in every colour of the rainbow, including pastel pink or peacock blue. Fabrics have moved away from the basic fleece to luxurious velour. But I still maintain that the basic grey is the classic sweat suit, and one can never go wrong with a classic. The sweat suit has become the official after -work uni- form- around our house. There was a day when I would come home from work to discard dresses and panty hose in favour of blue jeans. But these days blue jeans have been pushed aside for the sweat suit. Now, they may not teach it in home economics classes, nor will you find this advice in the pages of a helpful hints book for young brides - but the sweat suit is the greatest thing in the world to wear while you're doing housework. You can move freely while pushing your vacuum about the house, and you don't have to worry' about splitting seams when you struggle to reach something in the bottom of the freezer. Unfortunately there is one problem I discovered while wearing a sweat salt around the house. But if I pass the story of my misfortune along . to you, you can guard against this problem. Let's call it the sweat suit cooking hazard. I was dressed in my sweat suit recently, while preparing dinner. On the stove was a pot of gravy I was mixing up for some hot beef sandwiches. I was. stirring the gravy keeping a close eye on it while it thickened. Suddenly I smelled something burning. That's ridiculous, I thought. How can it be burning while I'm standing here stirring it and I know it's not sticking to the bottom of the pan. And I stirred a little faster. But the burning smell grew stronger and I began to get worried. I turned down the heat on the burner and stirred the gravy rapidly. When the burning_ smell persisted, I lifted the pot off the stove. It was then I realized that it wasn't the dinner scorching, it was the little plastic tip on the end of the drawstring of my sweat suit hood burning: I hadn't realized that the string had become wedged between the pot and the burner.

Wearing the sweat suit around the house can be beneficial in other ways. If a salesman is becoming a nuisance at the door you can say you were just on your way out for a run and invite him to jog along. Or in my case, I announce that I am just about to leave for dancefit classes. Last fall we found another use for our sweat suits. At the last minute on Halloween night, we decided that we wanted to go visiting friends. But because of the late hour, we didn't have any costumes. prepared. No problem. My husband and I just put on our matching his 'n hers sweat suits, wore rubber masks, and pulled the hoods on tight with the draw strings. After completing our outfits with sweat socks and sneakers, we jogged through our friends' homes, never giving away our identity. Interest rate down Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan has an- nounced a decrease in the in- terest rates charged. by Farm Credit Corporation Canada. "The new rate on loans made under the Farm Credit Act will be 161,2 percent as of April 1st. That represents a decline of one-quarter of a percentage point from the rate set last October," Whelan said. FCC interest rates, which are reviewed twice a year, in April and October, are bas- ed on the average of the previous six.months' yield of government bonds. Whelan, went on to say, "Although it is not a large decrease, I'm sure it will be appreciatedby those farmers who receive FCC loans in the next six months." In addition to the announc- ed decrease in interest rates for loans under the Farm Credit Act, interest rates for Farm Syndicates Credit Act loans will be reduced to 161,2 percent from 171,2 percent.
