WITHDRAWING
ONE OF OUR
SALES ITEMS
To Protect
Our Customers
One of the sales items in our 8 -page flyer which
appears elsewhere in today's paper is RAMADA
carpet priced at $6.99 per square yard.
When the carpet arrived in our yards last week, we
discovered that the shipment contained a manufac-
turing defect. We are therefore withdrawing the
carpet, and to eliminate any inconvenience to our
customers we are placing another carpet on sale at
an identical price.
The new carpet is Ozite TRUTONES, a 100% nylon
carpet with foam rubber backing which means you
can install it yourself with no big extras to buy. This
beautiful carpet is available in Gold, Bro' n and
Rust. And the sale price is maintained, only $6.99
per square yard, cash and carry. Delivery, credit
terms and custom installation by .expert installers is
available at extra cost.

Smile!
When you were 20, you
kept busy planning for the
future; after 40, you keep
busy undoing the faulty
planning.
Lady Luck gives some
people a boost, but we feel
that she's been trying to
shove us under a bus.
Most of us bear up under
trouble best when it's hap-
pening to the other fellow.
Keep your chin up and
you'll stumble over the
nearest curb.
Being good for nothing is
what most kids won't,
Your brain is no stronger
than its weakest think.

Swiss visitor enjoys
stay in Zurich
One of the many benefits
which the technological age
has brought, has been the
ease of transportation and
communication between the
various continents of the
world.
Taking advantage of
today's rapid transportation
and communication systems
is 19 year old Pia Christen of
Buochs Switzerland, a niece
of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Risi.
Ms. Christen arrived in
Canada on October 14 for a
two month stay with her aunt
and uncle. Her primary
intention on taking the trip
was to increase her com-
mand of the English
language.
Pia lives in Buochs a town
of 3,500 with her mother and
father and two brothers.
Both of her parents work
with her father employed as
at the military air base in
Stans and her mother
operates a small store in
Stansstad.
In her home town Swiss -
German is the predominent
language spoken with Pia
also speaking French and
English.
When asked how she
managed to find time to take
the trip, she replied she had
just finished three years of
apprenticeship and was in
the position of having some
time off.
Since coming over she has
visited Hamilton, London,
Kitchener and Cambridge
and has been to the African
Lion Safari near Rockton.
One thing she's noticed
about Canadians as coin -
pared to the Swiss is that we
eat a greater amounts of
sweets. Smiling, she also
said Canadians appear to be
more friendly.
In terms of clothing styles,
Ms. Christen said we're
about two years behind what
the Europeans are wearing
Pia Christen
with the women wearing
loose fitting co-ordinates and
men wearing pleated pants.
For hobbies, down hill
skiing, dancing and swim-
ming are her favorite past -
times.
The aspiring secretary
said the cost of living in
Switzerland is much higher
especially for food,
She has ambitions to
continue her education in
nine year's time, possibly at
the University of Florence in
Italy.
