TIP 0F THE WEEK You have probably noticed that your sink will only plug up at the most inconvenient time ... wben com- pany is there or you are in tbe middle of Sunday dinner, and you know when it bappens you are assured to be out of drain opener. Neyer worry, neyer fear, tbanks to good ol' Mom, I bave a simple solution. Tbrow a bandful of bakîng soda down tbe drain followed by a bal a cup of vinegar, any kind will do. Plug the hold tigbtly 50 no air can escape and be patient for 15 minutes. Run thý water and watch- it disappear. WHAT'S WRONG WITII GROWN-UPS? Quite a wbile ago I listened to a program which was a recording of 10 year olds listing tbeir com- plaints as to "wbat was wrong witb grown-ups." I wrote down, as tbey spoke, some of their pbilosophy wbicb I will apss pass on to you. "Grown-ups don't do the tbings they're always telling children to do; like pick up their things, or be neat, or always tell the truth". "Grown-ups interrupt cbildren ail the time and tbink notbing of it. If a chiid interrupts a grown-up, he gets scolded or sornetbing worse.' Grown-ups won't let tbeir cbildren dress the way they want to - but tbey neyer ask a child's opinion about bow tbey should dress. If they're going out to a party they wear exactly what tbey want to wear, even if it looks terrible, even if it isn't warm enougb." "Grown-ups always pry into children's secrets. Tbey always think it's going to be something bad. Tbey neyer think it migbt be a nice surprise."~ "Grown-ups talk about money too mucb. They tell us money isn't very important, but the way they talk about it, it sounds like it's tbe most important tbing in the world. " "Grown-ups gossip - but if cbildren do the very same thing and say the same words about the same people, the grown-ups say, tbey are being disrespectful." Well, you get the general idea. I was surprised to hear how those youngesters picked up on ail our bad habits. How up-to-date and "witb-it" tbey were. At the end of the program I was eveni more surprised. 1You see, this program was pre-taped ... in 1952. Tbings baven't changed too much have they? See you next week ...Roxanne Reveler Brooklin Bakery drop Wf Friday, before noon please 655-4951.
