No bed
of rout
BONN, (JTA) — German and
Dutch flower growers have ex
pressed alarm at massive im
ports of cheap Israeli roses. Dai
ly flights of Israeli fruit and
flower-laden juiflbos started
arriving at Cologne Airport late
last year. By the end of this
winter, Israel will have sold
about 50 million roses to Europe,
and this figure is expected to
double next winter.
The Europeans say their roses
cost about eight cents apiece to
grow, but Israeli roses, in spite
of air freight costs, are being
sold to wholesalers at a “fraction
of this.” In fact, German flower
sellers are not passing on this
cost advantage to their
customers on Europe’s biggest
flower market. Roses, whatever
their origin, cost about 24 cents
to 40 cents each retail. An even
bigger headache for flower
growers is resulting from car
nations from Kenya and Colom
bia which, unlike the Israeli
flowers, blossom all year round.
The German Flower Growers
Association has told its
members there is nothing it can
do. It recommends that they
switch to growing more exotic
flowers which, unlike roses 'and
carnations, cannot be
transported long distances.

The Securities and Exchange
Commission announced that it
will no longer support com
panies seeking to exclude
stockholder resolutions on the
Arab boycott from consideration
at their annual meetings.
The Division of Corporation
Finance of the SEC has taken
this new position apparently in
reflection of the Carter ad
ministration’s commitment to
discourage compliance with the'
boycott by U. S. companies, ac
cording to Will Maslow, general

DEAR HAPPY, Somebody stole my hus
band. And left a not-so-good imitation in his place.
The man l married 12 years ago was “Mr. Spar
kle. ” The man I see spending every waking week
end hour in front of the TV or behind a newspaper,
is “Mr. Yawn.”
Where’s the fun and excitement I remember?
Should I hint around about building a swimming
poof-or taking a cruise? There must be something
I can do. But what is it?
BORED TO TEARS AND THEN SOME.
Dear Bored, Congratulations. You’ve just dis
covered the rut you’re in. But boredom comes
just as easily to people with swimming pools and
condominiums in the islands as it does to the rest
of us. So that isn’t the answer.
You need a change—a complete change—
from your normal, everyday life.
The Marriott Hotel at Perimeter Center has
a neat thing going every weekend that’s really
catching on. The Escape Weekend.
You get about as far away from the hum
drum routine at home as you can imagine. With
out going any real distance at all. You get a
couple of days out of the kids-and-kitchen rut to
relax and have fun, without spending a lot of time
getting there and back.
The Marriott Hotel at Perimeter Center has
a heated indoor pool, a sauna, tennis courts, a
lovely restaurant and a lounge with live enter
tainment for dancing after dinner. You’re right
next door to the Perimeter Shopping Mall, too.
And the nice thing is—it’s a heck of a bargain.
With a room and breakfast-for-two both days,
dinner-for-two one night, free champagne, full
use of the facilities for leas than $70 a couple. Or,
take the one-night Escape—champagne, a room,
dinner and breakfast for less than $50 a couple. At .
those price* you can go on the of the moment
practically any weekend you wish.
And I’ve got a feeling that one weekend like
this might just brinjtyfckfc."
