The high co * of dying also is
a big subject in Mrs. Peter-
son's mail bag. An editorial
sent to her describing the woes
of the typical consumer said:
"It costs as much to bury me
as it would cost to send a boy
or girl to college for a year."
Mrs. Peterson believes some
manufacturers have begun to
shape up under the tougher
security of government pro-
tected consumers.
One homemaker said "al-
ready I have noticed in the field
of food that cereal and other
dry goods boxes come practi-
cally full, instead of about two-
thirds full."
While her office is not set up
as a complaint department,
Mrs. Peterson feels that the
protests are her best clue to
what’s happening to the con-
