The U.S. Chess Federation ( USCF) is officially endorsed the algebraic' systen, and is en- ina continuing pro- gram to Beach the algebraic system to its members through a nufthly column in its official publication, Chess Lae and Review.

Looking at ' world scene, we find the r ►, ' e sys- tem used in English- and Spanish-speaking countries. Almaatall other countries use algebraic. Let's assume the change- over is inevitable. How soon w1l all English and Spanish language publications' be reporting games and con - positions in algebraic? We have some information an English language publica- t ms. AUSCJ began monitor - u the changeover in 1973, and reports an increase in algebraic use in US, chess publications. In 1973, 44 per cent of the U.S. publications were using algebraic totally or for part of their reporting. This year the number is 57 per cent English language book publishers are changing. Charles Seribbner's Sons re- cently published two chess books for children in alge- braic noon. Oxford Uni- versity niversity Press published, "KaFpov o1 1974' in Is aiwordc really .r kP t 3q. !NTS c notation gains favor Let'seea mi a some of the ar- guments. 1. On the basis of notal m alone, algebraic is a better system. Each chess -board siluarehasa unique identifier in algebraic. In descriptive, each square bas two identi- fiers. In algebraic the vertical files are leered a through h, starting from the left. Hori- zontal tal ranks are number 1 through 8, staffing from the both. Thus, the upper lett- band corner in algebraic is ail. In descriptive, it's either QM or QR1, depending on whether you are white or black.. 2. Of the top 85 players in the world, about 80 per cent live in countries where the al- getraic , j is predomi- nant. A t prity of the world's best games, there - foie, are first published in al- gebraic. 3. Why can't we go an living with two languages? We can. There are many languages spoken.. Communication is hampered, but some of us have survived. Music has one notation sys- tem used worldwide. So does science. Professionals in these fields can together to agree on a common language for the sake of communica- tion. The chess professionals have done the same thing. What does all this mean to readers of this column? We would like to present the Game of the Week in alge- braic. The timing for the change we would like to leave in your hands. If you\ have strong feelings on this point, drop us a note. We will abide by your decision. This week we will present a game in descriptive notation. Next week, we will present the same game in algebraic with a brief outline .of the al- gebraic system.

This custom- er, with a dozen 15 -ounce bottles, checks out of the supermarket with the equivalent of the annual per capita consumption. What Canadians eat The average Canadian eats a lot of ketchup -almost 11 pounds a year. . He also eats about 12 pounds of fresh tomatoes, 11 pounds of canned tomatoes, _13 pounds of tomato juice and 20 pounds of tomato paste, for a grand total ` tomato consumption of 67 pounds a year. . These facts are recorded in Agriculture Canada's Handbook of Food Expenditures, Price and Consumption, recently compiled by the department's Economic Branch. The handbook also reveals that the annual per capita consump- tion of meat, fish and poultry in 1973 was 217 pounps. That figure represents 92 pounds of beef, 58 pounds of pork, four pounds of mutton and lamb, three pounds of veal, 36 pounds of chicken, 10 pounds of turkey and 13 pounds of fish. Canadian meat consumption has been steadily increasing over the past 20 years. In the 1950s Canadians ate y only about 70 pounds of beef, 50 pounds of pork and 20 pounds of chicken a year. In 1973, the average sugareijn- swnptiorr was 105 pounds, but the amount of sugar used by the average Canadian has varied over the years. In the late 1940s it was more than 100 pounds. It dipped as low as 92 pounds in 1957 and ' was under 100 pounds for most of the years between 1951 and 1970. One of the apsects of the Cana- dian diet that has undergone the most change is oils and fats. The consumption of shortening, cook- ing oils and salad oils has more than doubled in the past 25 years: In 1973, it was 24 pounds per person, while in 1949 it was only 10 pounds. • Canadians also eat about seven pounds of lard a year, down from more than nine pounds a quarter century ago. In the same period, margarine consumption has gone from six pounds a year to 10 pounds. Butter has gone the opposite way. In 1973, the average use was 13.25 pounds per person. com- pared with more than 20 pounds in the 1940s. Some other dairy products --have also experienced a decline. Whole milk consumption, for example. has gone from 394 pounds per person in 1948, to 274 pounds per person in 1973. The latter figure is about one quart every three days. Cheese consumption has about doubled since 1949 and Canadians are also buying more skim milk powder and ice cream. Fewer Canadians are starting their day with a bowl of por- ridge -or at least the oatmeal figures would seem to suggest so. In 1950, the average Canadian ate more than six pounds and it, 1973 he was eating' less than three. In general, breakfast cereal consumption has not changed much. In' 1948, it was six pounds and in 1973 it was 6.1. It was a little higher in the 1950s, hitting a peak of 7.2 pounds in 1954 and 1960. But Canadians may be cutting down a little on some starchy foods. Consumption of wheat flour was 130 pounds per person in ;1973, 20 pounds less than in the early 1950s. On the other hand, rice con- sumption has doubled from three pounds in 1948 to more than six pounds in the 1970s. Potato con- sumption is variable. It was 139 pounds in 1959, 178 pounds in 1966 and 157 pounds in 1973. The amount of vegetables being eaten has increased slight- ly to 116 pounds per person. Fruit consumption has gone from 177 pound.* in 1948 to 204 pounds in 1973. Canadians are using more fresh and frozen fruit and more fruit juices, but are eating less dried fruits, jams and jellies. The 1973 consumption figures also show the average Canadian eating up 29 pounds of (about 20 dozen), four pounds of mushrooms, 5.6 pounds of baked beans, 2.5 pounds of tea (about 450 cups), nine pounds of coffee (about 450 cups) and 3.5 pounds of cocoa.

JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Grapboanalyst Dear Dorothy I'm tired out all the time these days. I just have no pep at all. I have no interest in things or people and have lost my confidence.

Dear A.M.: When your production line of achievement wobbles around in all directions, or just plain stops, nothing can make you so tired. Your quick changing moods, seen in the light pres- sure of your writing, keep you bouncing with your experi- ences, and you really don't take anything too seriously.
