Volgograd Toronto is developing
a continuing relationship vvith

BELGRADE Banana Violin Flag

of the first names Yugoslavs are going
round vvith vvhile bearing the common
surnames of a Markovic or Javanovic
Sociologist Milan Bosanac has corn
piled a list of around 20000 names tr
be found among Sarbo-Croat- s and pub-lishe- d
it in a book entitled simpl1
Names
Alongside the most common firsi
names Bosanac has found some in-credi-ble
names parents for one rea-so- n
or another have endovved to their
unconsenting offspring
Besides the above he lists names
like Microscope Rat Symphony His
tory Old Photo Tooth and Dracula
It took Bosanac 10 years to colleci
ali these names vvhich reflect a va
riety of influences both ethnic and
cultural like that of the media and
books
Even the Caribbean is reflected vvith
the name Kubanka (Serbo-Croa- t for
Cuban female)

out of trying to imagine vvhat vvould

Cash or a Credit Card?
Some buyers now in ali our stores
Belong in a previleged crowd:
They have no east — just credit cards
And of their cards they're really prowd
There's nothing wrong vvith how they shop
Mere matter of personal choice!
The way they shop vve cannot stop
Though here to them VII raise my voice!
I look for bargains vvhen I shop
And it I find them that is fine
'Til near the cashier I must stop
And idly vvait and stand in line!
Why do I have to stand in line?
In front a credit card holder
Now vvastes her time as vvell as mine:
Pays her bill vvith card in folder!
As credit card dame signs her name
And cashier chechs the name and date
Cash buyers wait it is a shame
They have no choice — just have to vvait
Why don't the stores have special place
Where credit carders cards could use
Cash users could pay at faster pace:
The stores and shoppers less time would lose!
