of his ancestry, Clive seems to have

inherited little of their charac!

istic financial closeness. While 1,
with no Seot lurking in my back-
ground (to my knowledge), give

every penny a second look.

I experience a deep abiding anger
at being gypped, while Clive merely
chalks it up to experience. I
shop strome stare! fo clare: tasting a
bargain, while the editor goes to a
store he likes and buys what he
wants, regardless of price. And if I
can get something for nothing, [I’m
in seventh heaven.

Years ago, I remember
ing me about his sister finding a
coarse hair imbedded in a stick of
gum. Righteously indignant, she
wrote a letter of complaint to the
famous company. In time she receiv-
ed a courteous reply explaining’ the
presence of the hair, and sending a
whole carton of gum in apology.

One day years later, I opened a
can of spoiled beets and remember-
ing the story of the gum, I sat dowa
and wrote a letter of complaint to
the well-known company emphasiz-
ing how the whole family might have
been poisoned and died — and con-
fidently waited for the case of can-
ned vegetables to be delivered. About
a week later, a knock came to the
door and there stood a representa-
tive of the company. While he polite-
ly explained and apologized, I sur-
reptitiously craned my neck to see
how many cases of food he might
have stowed away in the car and im-
patiently waited for the denouement.

Finally and at long last, he said
“my company would like you to ac-
cept these with our apologies” —
and drew from his pocket one can ot
peas and one can of beets (unspoil-
ed)! So much for getting something
for nothing.

I seem to have more success at re-
turning inferior merchandise or cum-
plaining at being gypped.

A few years ago I bought a steel
fly rod for Clive’s birthday. Almost
the first time he used it, it snapped
in half when caught on a small twig.
After that, the fishing expert pur-
chased a good cane rod and mag-
nanimously relegated the welded
steel rod to me. The following year
| While we were fishing at Brigham
| Dam with Vince Racicot, I caught a
beautiful trout with the self-same
rod — at least I almost caught it.
Bingo! went the rod again and this
time with my lovely fish. That’s when
I saw red.

So the next time we went to New

Westminster, .I marched into the
store where I had purchased the rod.
(Clive thought ] was erazy as usual.)
After hearing my bitter complaints,
the salesman took the rod and went
into a huddle on the glassed-in mez-
anine fioor with the manager and
some other important personage.
From this vantage point, the three
of them conferred mightily, examin-
ing the rod from time to time, thea
turning to scan me icily from time
to time. It was then that I had-quaims
about my venture. If they had put me
on a chair under a bright light, 1

would no doubt have broken down
and confessed to most anything.
But all

man returned and asked politely if 1
would be willing to accept another
rod in place of the steel one. Would
I? I practically ran out of the store
in my glee. Mine husband was so
jubilant over my success too, that
he promptly grabbed onto the new
rod and again presented me with his
cast-off old one.

Then there was the radio-phono-
graph. The salesman said he could
allow me $100 for my stove on the
trade-in, and I couldn't understand
why, when other stores were offering

75 tor your old radio regardless of
condition. But that was on cheaper
models, not on an RCA Victor like
this, saié the man. So I, went home
to think it over, and the next day
there was an advertisement in the
newspaper from another company
with the same RCA Victor displayed
AND allowing $75 for your old radio
I stomped into the radio: shop; 1
fumed at the salesman; he called the
manager; I fumed at the manager.
“Well I tell you what I'll do,” he
said, “IN give you $125 for your
stove." Still I pereolated madly; then
he offered me $135, and I finally de-
cided to simmer down. We finally
made a deal.

Right now I’m still wildly elated

Ridin’ Through

We don’t make permanent camp
here—

We're only ridin’ through—

The dusty road of earth, one day,

Will end for me and you.

When the going’s good and friends
are near
And the view around is fine,
We sometimes think that we'd like
to camp
And stay for a long, long time.
But there's no use picking a home-

site out
Where the grass is green and
new,
For we can’t unsaddle and stake a
elaim—

We're only ridin’ through,

When the way is rough and the hills
are bare,

And storms shut out the sun,
When we face the awful night alone,
As the stars die, one by one;

It helps a bit to remember then
That skies will be bright and
blue +
In that Other Land where the Master
waits—
We're only ridin’ through.

We cannot tell how long the trail
Nor what the terrain will be,
But we know, through faith, there's
an open gate
At the end, for you and me.

over my last little deal.
ago we bought a living-room rig
trom a well-known firm in Vancou-
ver. For the past two years I have
been getting madder and madder.
the pile of my rug gradually disap-
peared and the bare backing came to

view. Finally I decided to write the
company. *‘You’re crazy,’’ everyone
said, “They'll never do anything

after five years.””

But now I'm gloating over the
reply which has come back, and
sight unseen they have offered me
half of what I paid for my present
rug on the purchase of a new one!

Clive says he is still losing, for
he is going to have to put out $100
or so on the purchase of a new rug.
which he had no intention of buying
in the first place — but I think this
is the wrong attitude. Don’t you?
