Instea-t~l, Parliament would become a kind of love -in. Friendly discussion would take the place of heated de- bate. There would be no per- sonal slurs, no catcalls and the Speaker could use the restful interlude to catch up on her reading. Creating positive new poli- cies and updating older leg- islation would become sim- ple. Unemployment Insur- ance, for instance, could be tightened to shve taxpayers $2 -billion per year.

Consumers, too, could re- solve to change their ways. Indeed,. the Consumers Asso- ciation of Canada 'could team up with farm organizations to lobby for higher food prices, assuming farmers received the benefits. In some cases, farmers might actually earn enough to start paying back their bank loans. Is all of this really wishful thinking? Of course it is. Nevertheless, the recent improvement in the econo- my is no dream, and while 1984 may not be spectacular, it ,should at least be better than last year, a point that is certainly worth noting. •l k.. -Centers explain rights In all parts of France, special information cen- ters inform women of their rights.

He says only one other person in the world, an American, can do this. Payne set a world record at Windhoek by `playing two trumpets non-stop for 51 minutes. "It's painful," he says.

We are moving into a house with a nice -sized din- ing room and I plan to buy Oriental furniture to furnish the room, The dining room is without any architectural detailing at all. 1 feel that elegant Ori- ental furniture needs a dra- matic background to set it off, properly but I'm not sure just. where to start. Please advise me.— R.P. A. Exquisite furniture in any style can star beautifully in a plain setting. But, if you create an "'elegant, back- ground, your ,furniture" un- doubtedly will look nicer. A bold cninritof paint on they wall - perhaps a tomato red or a rusty orange — would contrast with the dark woods of Oriental furniture. Add a Chinese rug in tones taken frorri you wall color for soft- ness underfoot. Accessorize with the best of Oriental design — antique screens (or reproductions of them) , lighting, fixtures, jardinieres and dishes. Don't, however, over-ac- cessoriie because 'the calm classic look,of:Oriental de- sign needs to .come through and it can't with clutter. A few large, impressive acces- sories and several healthy -plants would „he. far better than many smaller acces- •sories of lesser quality. Q. I'm trying to figure out what size dining table I need for my dining morn to seat six persons comfortably. I usemesot want a round dining table. What size is necessary to ac- commodate eight persons? A. Ray and Sarah Faulk- - ner in their book, "Inside To- day's Home" offer some suggestions on dimensions for round dining tables. They suggest a table from 42 to 48 inches in diameter is neces- sary to seat six. For eight persons, they suggest from 52 to 68 inches in diameter.

But 1 fugure that what 1' o%1oesn't make a whole lot of differ- ence anyway.— S.S. Dear S.S.: Let's stop,. breathe a deep breath, and take a long look at the record. Can't you remember someone Who did something for you. in your life? Your parents? Your teacheres? Your boss? Your neighbor? Or even a stranger who came by at just the right moment? Admittedly, someone at. some time did something good for you and you have done something good for others too. Of course it made a difference.. True, you've been hurt a lot, seen in the exploding ti and t logs. Hurt enough to shake you, emotionally, seen in the variable slant of your writing. You see, S.S., emotions are the foundation upon which" your personality is built. Anxieties brought on by 'cri- ticism, disapproval and even rejection have come with such force that it has caused emotional cracks so deep that nothing seems to run smooth. It's like a : house whose foundation is hit by an earthquake or a flood. Yet, with superior workmanship it can be, repaired. So, too, can your personality- be mended with faith, hope and desire ' That desperate feeling that , "what you do doesn't make a whole lot of difference any- way" is brought on by self- ' pity, seen in the droop end- ings Self-pity, in turn, is the result-- of feelings of inade- quacy. To lift yourself and to "jack up" your emotional f'oundat'ion, you must be less concerned with yourself. You have to realize that you can dD gobd for others through acts of understand- ing; of encouragement and personal concern. And there's no such thing as a "small" act of goodness. „ Sgmet.imes, the tiniest thing, we do for others is the thing that' 1iIts them the,highest. In your daily personal. ac - firms toward Others, try to be the kind of friend you'd like to have. When you befriend others, you befriend your- self It's then that you'll findt that what you do DOES, make a difference, after all. \ C-4111611lielesti 1 11117:1111 sir I.
