The Huron Expositor, 1983-06-01, Page 13HURON EXPOSITOR, JUNE 1, 1983 -- A13 Short Shots When Henry Thoreau, the American philosopher, was dying he was asked by a friend Have you made your peace with God?" Thoreau replied '1 have never quarelled with him." How many of us, if asked that same question could give that reply? Who would have believed that we would ever, again get good restaurant meals for the prices of the 1960's? That is just what is happening . in Brussels this week. Bill Protopapas, the enterprising owner of the Olympia Restaurant, who does not like the tax on meals, imposed by the government is giving folks in this community a break and cuing his bit in a fight against the sale tax on meals. The staff is co-operating and will wait on tables at half -pay so be generous with tips. Eat at the Olympia this week. Where else can you,get a chicken dinner for $1.75 (Saturday and Sunday), a cup of coffee for .20c, eggs or pancakes with ham or bacon for $1.29; hot dogs for 39c? These are only a few examples of the bargain prices for good, favourite foods. Come on, show Bill you are interested in helping (and keeping) a small business. Sjipport his effort in a fight against the sales tax. He is giving us a break, without regard to his profit. We should show him we appreciate what he is doing. **4**** Because of the unpredictable weather we have been having a definite date for the annual Rose Show of the Brussels Horkicul- tural Society, which is usually held in June, has not been set. ******* The Toronto Blue Jays after briefly leading by Evelyn Kennedy the East Division with five straight wins lost their winning ways when they came up against the Boston team. They lost three in a row to the Boston Red Sox. On Saturday they came up with their former strength and a 9-5 victory over the Red Sox. Marjabell Stewart, an expert on etiquette and manners, says "People are tired of discourteous people and slobs." "The in thing now is to be a little more polished." She implies we should brush upon good manners, which., she tells us are simple. Good manners are common courtesy. The bottom line is style and grace. Style is not a replacement for character. It should be a reflection of character. She tells us "When you learn what you owe to those whom you are close to you are halfway to becoming a gentleman (or a lady). The wealthiest people are couples who genuinely like each other and are kind to each other. Shopping in a large super market has little appeal. Oh yes, there is a much larger selection of products. There is a wide variety of things to chose from. The price in some cases may be a few cents cheaper. However, being bumped and shdnted about by hurrying shoppers; hunting for what you want; the tiresome wait in a long line-up at the check-out point; being attended by a tired grump cashier who cares nothing about where you shop, and glare with a frown at anyone not quick with payment, is a fatiguing business. Shopping in a home -town store where the folks know you; appreciate your patronage; are friendly, helpful and care about pleasing you is much more appealing.
