But while the non- Christian may scream, “What possible good can come loying, all powerful God can Bryon Dafoe of Castlegar died Aug. 21 at Castlegar and District Hospital after a short illness. He was 80. Mr. Dafoe was born in Pence, Sask. He spent seven years in the Canadian Air Force, then spent the follow. ing 25 years in the retail men's wear business. Mr. Dafoe is survived by his wife, Viola, daughters Marie Smith of Castlegar and of the park. Even the black, burn marks on the trees looked beautiful in the tumour. Yet, in the midst of this darkness the great faith of the dying boy shone brilli- antly. Young Delson did not com- plain or curse God. Instead, he enjoyed his limited life to the full and drew closer to God than ever before. His faith was a great blessing to his parents and to many other people who knew him. How proud his parents are to have had such a son. Our comfort, in the midst of suffering and frustration, is the knowledge that the divine will is working. “Above all that we ask or think.” (Ephesi: 38:20). 5 MAR. AND MARS.

No, said the waitress, she couldn't make ‘an exception to the rules, not even for.a single slice. The father asked to see the manager. No, the manager said, he couldn't break up the fruit dish; if he did - it once, other customers might want the same treatment. With no compromise in sight, the couple, who go to a res- taurant once a week with their children, said they wouldn't be back. The parents were James and Meg Jordan, who begin teaching a course this fal} in customer relations at Seneca College in Toronto. The course — using such theatre dramatics as role-playing and improvisation — is aimed at helping the service industry do its job better. “The whole idea of service is rapidly disappearing,” James Jordan said. “It's disintegrating. When I walk into a department store, it's very hard to get anybody's attention, hard to figure out who's working there.” BLAMES NEW TRENDS Jordan cites many reasons for decline in service, ineluding the popularity of fast-food outlets — “Get them in and get them out”—and instant bank teller machines that “involve no human contact.” It could be, too, that people'who deal with the public need to be reminded that their job is to serve, he said While the customer is not always right, Jordan said, unpleasant exchanges can be minimized if an employee knows how to gauge which requests are unreasonable and which ones are ot. And there should be no excuse for failing to meet a reasonable request, he said. “What is a waiter or manager there for but to meet the needs of a person who wants service? I can't believe how much that has been forgotten.” He recounted the classic episode in the movie Five Easy Pieces in which actor Jack Nicholson orders whole wheat toast at a restaurant and is confronted by a waitress who refuses to serve only two pieces of toast be- cause they are not on the menu. GETS NO TOAST Trying another tactic, he orders a toasted chicken salad sandwich, then asks her to dispense with everything but the toast. (“Now, hold the chicken, hold the lettuce, hold the mayonnaise.”) He never gets his toast.
