This Boom MQy Bust You!

10 years. there is plenty Of
everything. yet the consumer
is still being victimized by
greed and sloppy service. Large
employers throughout the
country are also concerned.
But what to do?
My friend with the solid
gold antenna. platinum snow
tires and other expensive
equipment is doing what she
can about her own situation.
She has notified the Better
Business Bureau about the
antenna: has not only changed
garage and cleaner but warned
other customers; has refused
to recommend the painter to
three neighbors whose houses
are due for a spring paint job.
But she's still wondering II
there isn't something more to
do - organize a consumers
strike maybe?
OF course. when you come
down to it everybody Is q
consumer. The clerk In q
grocery store, whom Myra
caught overcharging her three
times in a row. would be
furious IL the same thing hap
pened to him at a filling sta
ton: the bored. Indifferent
saleswoman in the depart
ment store dress department
Is outraged at indifference in
a shoe salesman when she's
on the buying end.
I for one am making this
New Years resolution early:
During the coming year, /
shall put up with no nonsense
I'm going to be the difficult
customer-the one who sends
the waiter back with the
underdone steak, who refuses
to be hurried into a decision
between two articles, who is
going to change stores-and
explain just why-when I feel
I'm getting less than I'm pay
ing for. And II I'm pushed
too far, I may join, or even
initiate, that consumers strike.

The televiSion set was out OF
commission for almost two
months because the man who
put up the antenna-and guar
anteed it-refused to come 20
miles to repair it. When he
did, he fatty declared that
there'd have to be q new an
tenna, guaranty or no guar
anty.
The garage man. asked to put
snow tires on his customers
car during an early winter
blizzard, refused to tackle the
job unless the car owner
bought two new inner tubes.
though those from the regular
tires were in perfect condition.
Then he overcharged for both
tubes and tire-changing.
The cleaner kept adding $40
to his monthly bill. though 1t
had been paid and the check
had cleared the bank. This
went on-in spite of repeated
telephone and written requests
for a correction-until the
customer made a special trip
to show the cancelled check.
Even with the evidence before
him, the cleaner acted un-
gracious and suspicious.
The painter quoted a price
for repainting the house-and
presented a bill for twice the
estimated amount.
These were gleanings from a
single bitter consumer in the
course of a lively after-dinner
discussion on the mixed bless
ings of the current business
boom. All six persons taking
part in the conversation had
similar frustrating. infuriating
experiences to relate.
During World War II when
materials were short and man
power was concentrated largely
in the battleflelds of Europe
and the Pacific, consumers ac-
cepted their lot philosophi-
cally. even periodically.

stanzaS to you.
1T may be an error intensely tactical.

Give me present to invite my soul;
Reach into your duffle
And pun out rufile."
I have long suspected that
we become too stereotyped in
the selection of our Christmas
gifts and in our ideas of our
family and friends.
For instance. just because a
woman is rather severe IN
dress we have the idea that
she would not enjoy a bit Of
fluff. some small piece of lin
gerie or some imaginative bed
room slippers. Most women
buy their clothes with econ

bility in mind. They would love
some gift which is in the luxury
classification.
/ doubt very much that you
can go wrong with this theory,
at least am sure that you and
they will have a lot of fun.
One year I sent many of my
friends and relatives presents
which were entirely wrong for
them, according to the CLASH
fication into which they had
fallen under the pressure of
daily living. I never had such
warm and enthusiastic thank

Captured In 1850
Dickinson was captured by
Chinese Communists forces in
November, 1850 and later inn
prisoned at Pyektong. Korea. 1t
was there that he received pre-
ferential treatment for squealing
on his buddies and for aiding in
the propaganda work of the Reds.
After the armistice he refused
to return to United Nations
forces during Operation Big
Switch" However, on October
20. 1858. he approached an In

center complaining Of tooth
ache. and when he was taken to

to return home.
