Working wives are taking over from happy little homemakers as the most influential force shaping retail operations and advertising, according to Toronto adman David Cravit. Women like Carol Anne Calderone, shown with Cravit, are forcing stores to extend hours and change times of clearance sales. Toronto supermarkets are already experimenting with late shopping hours.

Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.

Circular Bed is where Savo Bojicie likes to lounge, spread out his papers and do lots of his creative work. The large bedroom area is designed like a small apartment where Savo and his wife can escape from the children and be alone. The bed has subtle light flowing out from underneath and it makes you feel as if you're floating in space, he said.
