MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' *" (Continued from page 1) of us are careless with sales slips. In the case of earrings, where there is no size or color to consider, the slips are most times unnecessary. But not this year of 1900 worksmanship. Not many folks indulged in anything as large as a new car for a gift, and maybe it's just as well. Those folks in the various motor cities must be cat­ ching up (Ml their naps during working hours. Even though we are fully aware of the exasperation that inevitably follows this purchase, there comes a time when the old flivver refuses to run and a new purchase is in order. But don't count mi 100 percent cooperation from the new motor miracle. With barely 2,300 miles on the speedometer, we discovered nauseating odors emanating from somewhere. (X course we were out of town and it was night. What was really wrong didn't nearly match our most dire fears, but by the time we found out the damage was done - we had lost a few hours of sleep. What really happened probably took place in one of the Motor Cities, USA, where a shoddy workman placed a plastic cap loosely on something under the hood. When the cap fell off it landed on the motor, which heated and drib­ bled hot plastic. A few days later the voltage light chose to display a permanent red color. This turned out to be "two bad parts" - and all at 2,300 miles. Cameras have an even poorer record of workmanship and rate a downright "terrible" for factory attitude. They tell us it all stems from the word "monopoly". Some names have become so household the firm isn't concerned about something we learned long ago, "the customer is always right". With only the second film pack in a new, gift camera, we decided on a group picture at a restaurant table. Taking the compact camera in hand, we proceeded to open it, only to have the bellows fall completely apart. "How will they know I didn't drop it"? we asked. The reassurrii* answer from the camera expert was, "People who know cameras can tell". We were fortified by the knowledge that seven people had seen the camera fall apart and new this magic took place while it was in the hand. After a few days the factory called to make the pronouncement: "This will cost $55". When we asked the dealer to call again, the factory-made excuse was that "it looked like the camera had been dropped". We had them there, with seven witnesses. And so our own pronoun­ cement was, "Send it back, unrepaired". From there we had thefeuyer return it to the place of purchase. A strongly worded note from the dealer (who in­ cidentally has a large annual sales record) brought results. The camera came back in good working order - three months after Christmas. , If nothing else, first hand experiences should teach us that something new is not necessarily something good. It might also teach us that this doesn't only apply to material goods. Not everything in this world around us is good as we welcome 1961. And some of the reason might well be that, like the workman, it's very easy for each of us to become a bit shoddy. KAF PRECINCTS IN TOWNSHIP « (Continued from page 1) is wasted ^ow in searching for data. Lowe headed the records management committee. The committeejBuccessfully asked for permission to seek bids for equipment that will enable Colleen Colson, newly- named records management supervisor, to begin the arduous task of microfilming and organizing stored-up data. Approval means bids on a step and repeat camera, dry-silver processor and Fiche duplicator will be obtained soon. A B. McConnell, chairman of the legislative and public affairs committee, reported on the Urban Counties Council of Illinois' legislative activities. He said the council monitored 000 bills having an impact on county government during the General Assembly scheduled to conclude in early January. McConnell said the bills covered , a wide range, of topics-including property tax assessments, proposed new levies, purchasing practices and criminal Justice-related matters.
