Who are
youteUlng
us how
to run our
business?
It takes a lot of confidence to come
fresh out of school and begin telling us
how to do things.
On the other hand, it takes an un-
usual company to provide the kind of
environment where that can happen, but
that is exactly the environment you'll find
at Scott Paper.
We constantly search for people
who have the ability to respond to chal-
lenge and think for themselves, those
with the initiative and desire to seek al-
ternatives, the skill and courage to con-
Vince others that there are better ways
and who aren't afraid to express their
ideas.
At Scott, we admire an aggressive
stance because we are an aggressive
company. You can make your own op-
portunities with us.. . and we'll prove it.

Brazil was the world's largest
coffee producer until a frost in
July 1975 destroyed 70 per cent
of its crop of nearly 3 billion
pounds, or about 40 per cent
of the normal world supply for
one year.
The price in Brazil has gone
from 81 cents a pound to $1.66,
and from $1.14 to $2.61 for eight
ounces of instant coffee. In Mex-
ico, which produced 525 million
pounds last year, the cost rose
75 cents to $2 in' the past two
years.

the world demand of some 6.36 1
billion pounds a year. The gov-
ernment - run Brazilian Coffee
Institute estimated its stocks
were down to about 2.95 billion
pounds and still dwindling, al-
though there were reports of
changing coffee habits and a
drop in demand.
A private coffee association
in Rio de Janiero said Brazil's
annual coffee consumption was
down to 792 million pounds from
1.05 billion pounds a few years
ago.
A major distributor in Ar-
gentina, where prices are up
to $4.54 from $1.81 a pound, said
"We are losing lots of money
because of the decline in con-
sumption."
A SURVEY OF 200 families
by the Dutch Consumers Asso-
ciation found that people in the
Netherlands changed their cof-
fee habits as the price rose from
$2.12 to $3.54 a pound. Less than
a third of those surveyed said
they had made no change, while
11 per cent said they were drink-
ing less coffee, 27 per cent said
they were making it weaker and
30 per cent said they were buy-
ing a cheaper brand.
A waiter in a coffee bar in
Rome, where the price of a
small espresso has gone from
14 to 18 cents since September,
said "Customers are beginning
to brumble. Those who would
cone and have two cups in the
morning are now stoppng by
only once." The cost of coffee
in Roman stores has doubled
to $3.36 in the past year.
Though few countries are
heeding calls first made in the
United States for an organized
boycott to drive the price of
coffee down, more and more in-
dividuals will probably cut down
on their coffee intake.

Caffeine is the main ingredi-

IN POLAND this week, a .
prominent dissident scientist,
Miroslaw Chojecki, reported he
was harassed and beaten up
when he tried to monitor atrial
of workers charged in connec-
tion with food price demonstra-
tions last June. Other Polish
dissidents have reported deten-
tions for several hours and in-
terrogation by police.
The Last German crackdown
has been aimed at individual
dissidents, including popular sin-
ger Wolfgang Biermann who
was expelled from the country
for his criticism of the Com-
munist administration. Writer
Juergen Fuchs, a protege of dis-
sident East Germany physicist
Robert Havemann, has been de-
tained since Nov. 19.
The Prague manifesto publish-
ed in the West and signed by
more than 100 Chechoslovak in-
tellectuals said not only the
state is responsible for "the
respect of the rights of the
citien," but "everyone bears his
part of the responsibility."
EXCERPTS OF THE manifes-
to, called Chartr 77, were pub-
lished by the French newspap-
er Le Monde. While specifically
denying formation of any or-
ganiation, it said, "Charter 77
is a free community, informal
and open, of men of convictions,
religions, different professions,
bound by the will to become
involved individually and collec-
tively for the respect of the
rights of man and citiens in our
country and in the world."

PUT
ON YOUR DOORSTEP!
When someone drinks too
much and then drives, it's the silence
that kills. Your silence.
It kills your friends, your
relatives, and people you don't even
know. But they're all people you
could save.
If you knew what to say,
maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe
fewer people would die.
What you should say is, "I'll
drive you home." Or, "Let me call a
cab." Or, "Sleep on my couch
tonight."

coffee rever made anyone sober.
Maybe it would keep him awake
long enough to have an accident.
But that's about all.,
The best way to prevent a
drunk from becoming a dead drunk
is to stop him from driving.
_ Speak up. Don't let silence be
the last sound he hears.
