‘Sales Clerks are There to Help

We all need help at one
time. or another with our
decorating projects or prob-
lems.

: Since we have to shop for
ideas and find the exact item
we are looking for, we en-
counter a strange species called
“sales clerks!"

Most sales clerks are equip-
ped with the needed know-
ledge of their trade or mer-
chandise; however, they cannot
help you until they have some
of the details of what your

For example, if you have a
painting project planned you
will need to know such things:
as what type of paint, what
color, and the best way to apply
it. Your sales clerk at the paint
store will need to know what
the room or object is being used
for and how much area you will
cover’ with paint. The present
cdnditon of the painting surface
will have to be determined so it
edn be prepared properly,

In other words, if the clerk
déeen' t ask you some of these
things, be sure and ask him! He
should be ready to suggest all
the'paraphernalia you will need
for yaur project and advise you

TTA ais who says, “I don't
krlow; but I'll find out or ask" is
being: honest and by virtue of
hav ing to find out that infor-
mation is better equipped to
he ‘ou the next time. Don't

be afraid to build up a gond
rapport with a clerk you feel
comfortable with and take time
to just go in and browse,

home, to have ull the needed
samples with you as you shop.

Your paint chips, carpet
samples, wall covering samples

(interior Tips é )

Lin Krause

A clerk who is aware of
your projects and decorating
needs will be the first to let you
know of a new product that
could be of interest to you,

Because commercial light-
ing, especially fluorescents,
tend to distort colors, textures
and shapes of different pro-
ducts, do not be afraid to ask if
you can take samples home or
have them brought to your
house, Do not feel you are
obligated to buy just because of
this added service.

Usually, a company will
give you a good buy because
they have been given the
opportunity to really show
their product in the best pos-
sible setting—your home. Keep
a sample 24 hours if possible to
see how the color is affected by
daylight, as well as by the night
light in‘'your home.

It is a good policy if your
project encompasses several
items and you are trying to
co-ordinate a whole room or

Pulpit & Pew

With Rev. TED BRISTOW

‘What do you think of when

me up with the word

‘angelist."

:"Some of you will imme-
diately think of a loud voice
using clever emotional appeals

press you into » going along

: Stirs of you will think of
a concerned person with the
gift of speech who appeals to
you to quit waffling on the most
important decision of your
life—the place of God—and put
yourselves into God’s hands by
a simple step of faith.

I've met both kinds of
evangelists. Those who are
obviously using gimmicks to try
to manipulate, and those who
sincerely want me to make my
mind up, for God.

The second kind have their
place. We need people around
who will make direct, sincere
appeals to our hearts to make a
decision for Christ.

But these “good” evan-
gclists would be the first ones
to tell you that a mass gather-
ing with stirring music and a
straight-from-the- shoulders
sermon is not the only way, or
always the best way, to bring
pedple to God.

: They would point to the
influence of personal example,
to the accumulative effective-
ness of year by year attendance
at church, and, perhaps above
all,-of the impact that a Chris-
tian family makes on its young
members.,

> Honest evangelists would
be the first to agree that many
pedple are genuine Christians

their lives, and of how they
have come to believe more
deeply in God,

Needless to say, not all the
stories will be the same. Be-
cause there are a variety of
ways of coming to believe in
God.

As the participants hear
these stories, they’
say to themselves, “Hey, that
sounds like me. I can recognize
that sort of thing in my life."

Learning to recognize how
in your own life you're coming
to know God too—that, to me,
sounds as valuable as being
preached at from an evange-
list’s pulpit.

This Festival of Faith will
provide small groups where we
can share with each other, if we
want, what we've recognized
about our own story of faith.
There will also be some good
singing, eating, and so on.

and you couldn't come back
with all your samples you may
have had regrets,

Our day and age is geared
to the do-it-yourselfer because
of the increasing cost of the
decorating and finishing trades.
With a little bit of help and the
good advice and guidance of a
good sales clerk you can
accomplish a feat of wonder and
be very proud of yourself.

nd oh, yes, be sure to go
back and share with your clerk
how well it turned out!

(Consumer Facts /

If you're planning a Sun-
day brunch, you'll want to know
one of the best kept culinary
secrets: Poached eggs can be
cooked ahead and reheated
without ‘losing any of their
flavor or tenderness,

While it is possible to
Poach the eggs the night
before, for perfect consistency
itis better todo them just a few
hours before you need them,

All you do is have a large
saucepan of simmering water
ready over medium-high heat.
Add a half-cup of vinegar to
help set the egg white. Break
the eggs one at a time into a
saucer and slip into the sim-
mering water,

Safety Tips

Poach for about three.
minutes. When poached, lift the
egg out of the hot water with a
slotted spoon and immediately
plunge into a bow! of cold
water, This stops the cooking
and keeps yolks runny.

When ready to use, lift
them gently, one at a time, out
of the cold water and trim away
the excess white with a paring
knife to make the poached egg
an attractive oval shape.

Fill another bowl with very
hot tap water and put trimmed
eggs into it for two or three
minutes to heat through, The
water will heat the egg, but will
not cook the yolk further.

Know Your Vecuun

The following are some
vacuum cleaner tips for your
safety:

e Don’t use on wet sur-
faces, or to pick up wet
material. Doing so increases
the possibility of electric shock,
(Unless, of course, your cleaner
is “grounded” or is described as
a “wet-pickup cleaner” by the
manufacturer and so listed by

SA.,

Remember also, that even
a “wet-pickup” vacuum cleaner
should not be used as a pump to
empty a sink of other reservoir.

e Don't use your vacuum
cleaner as a sprayer of flam--
mable liquids such as oil-base
paints, lacquers, household
cleaners, ete.

e Don’t use it in an en-

-closed space where flammable,

or toxic vapours are

Hotline Draws 900 Calls Monthly

ac © Help for Abused Child

“Hello, This P a recorded
message, If you think you are
being sexually abused, please
stay on the line. You may feel
scared now, but help is avail-
able. You don't have to give
your name.”

That is the beginning of
the 2'%-minute message on a
sex-abuse hotline operated by
Child and Family Services of
Knoxville, Tenn., under a grant,

private, non-profit, voluntary
agency, said he believes sexual
abuse of children is increasing.
“With more single-parent
households we're going through
a transition in our whole cul-
ture as far as family structure
and I think it does lend itself to
sex abuse of children.

“Many people who are
feeling inadequate as adults
turn to children for affection

from the U.S.

* Nine hundred calls a month
come to the hotline. The
average age of the callers is 18;
most are girls. They seek help
with a problem that people are
reluctant to recognize: the
sexual abuse of children within
a family situation. Incest.

One in 10 of the callers
stays on the line after the
recording ends and talks to a
counsellor, The others listen to
the information and hang up.
Officials say some youngsters—
they do not know how many—
dial the recording several
times, trying to work up the
courage to tell their troubles.

He was addressing the joint
scientific session of the B.C.
Medica! Association's section of
general practice and the B.C.
chapter of the College of Family
Physicians of Canada.

He said it is wrong to adopt

+ the traditional idea that babies

and young children usually

grow out of foot or leg prob-
lems.

In fact, most problems
occur from bad foot positions of
the fetus before birth so they
can be readily identified and
corrected ‘in the baby within
the first year of life, Ganley
said.

By using plaster casts and
splints—“applying gentle pres-
sure like that of braces on
teeth"—misalignments and flat
feet can be corrected within a
month or two, he added.

“We can correct the prob-
lem so that when a child begins
walking he or she does it right
by stepping on a normal foot.
No further treatment is need-
ed.”

He said he has just com-
pleted a 15-year follow-up of his
techniques “with very satis-
factory results.”
