I put the jacket on the counter and said “it is downâ€"filled". One of the managers looked at the coat and said. “no problem, that will be $5.75". When I brought the cleaned jacket home on November 24, 1979, it was ruined. All the down was lumpy. resting in big clusters around the sewn partitions of the jacket. I went back to “Mar- tinizing“ and the manager informed me that it was not his fault, it was the manufacturer's fault. and he disclaimed any responsibility. Inasmuch as he looked at .the coat before cleaning it, he should have noticed then that the construction of the jacket was such that cleaning would ruin it. I have since examined down-filled jackets in various stores and find that all are constructed along similar lines as the jacket I brought in for cleaning. Furthermore, as the jacket was cleaned the first time without a problem, why would it be ruined the second time due to “faulty con- struction“. I urge anyone who wants to have a down- filled jacket cleaned, to make certain, before it is cleaned. what sort of guarantee the cleaner has in mind. Mrs. Elly Bremmers I28 Baythorn Drive.

Those moreover being days when the primary school consumed a higher portion of our total taxes than it does now; and when the national product available for taxing was only a fraction of its present level. That-{s what happened in the Hohener letter. Mrs. Hohener‘s next move was to broadcast. via the press, reports from her unidentified agents who. from behind curtains, through pine branches on ski slopes, disguised as shoppers, or crouched under tables in beer parlors, identified the occasional errant teachers skipping out on professional development days.

As it is, no wonder “stalward” youths surreptitiously slash the tires of teachers who workâ€"to-rule to educate the Hoheners of this world about a few of the obvious extra-curricular activ- ities they are saddled with. No wonder so few teachers were represented in your letter exchange, although Mr. Kelly did a good job: unlike their critics, many teachers find a good portion of their evenings and weekends taken up with pupils' written work, and with worrying about the occasional, disrup- tive, anarchic little in- dividuals who take their cue from contemptuous adults.
