In December of 1975, President Ford signed a bill into law which will bring the International metric system - to this country by 1983. . Can you believe I've only got three more years left to convert and | haven't spoken a word of metric yet? It’s not that I’m stubborn or stupid. It's just that | cannot bring myself to think that large. This country has always put great stock in small feet, small waists, compact cars, short distances, and minute portions. How do you think I'm going to feel renewing my driver's license when | report that my height is 1.52 meters and | weight 286.0 kilograms? Why, it'll be all over town by noon. That's why I've made a decision. At my age, I’m not going to waste time committing an entire metric system to memory. Instead, | made a list of the most used phrases in my vocabulary, converting words of measure- ment into metrics. You're welcome to use them. To my neightbor: ‘'Mayva, can | borrow 236 milliliters (1 cup) of flour/sugar/gin/cocoanut/rice/ butter/etc.?"" To the police: ‘‘But, officer, | was only going 85 kilometers an hour.'’ (55 mph.) Loudly in the lingerie department: ‘'Do you have any size 148 bras on sale?’ When | told my husband of my plan to memorize as much metric as | needed to get by, he was pleased. ‘As I've always said," he smiled, ‘30 milliliters of prevention is worth .454 kilograms of cure.’’ Boy, !'m glad it's not something I've always said.
