Federal officials say Jolley crossed the border into Canada last year to avoid the draft and formally renounced his U.S.

citizenship May 16, 1967. The government contends Jolley re-entered this country illegally and should be deported. Presumably the government would hav to decide where. Jolley said, in an interview at his small Atlanta apartment, have no interest in returning to Canada" hut that he would enjoy visiting that country again, voluntarily. Government records show Jolley wrote a letter in May of 1967 saying, May 16, I renounced my United States citizenship, thus terminating all obligations to the United States." When Jolley was questioned about whether he regrets abandoning his citizenship, the youth exchanged glances with his 21 year-old wife, who accompanied him to Canada and replied guess we did what we thought we had to do at the time we did it that doesn't mean we would do it again."

Getting a supposedly free turkey at Thanksgiving is like being given a sacred white elephant in Thailand. The initial cost is nothing. Rut the upkeep is everything.

By the time you surround the turkey with proper fixings and buy liquor and white wine for the free-loading friends you invite to share yoirr bounty, it is necessary to take out a second mortgage on your home to foot the bill. The next morning when you take a bleary look at the turkey it hardly seems dented. How can you get rid of There are 1,012 recipes for serving leftover turkey, but what stomach can face turkey, in any of its disguises, for 1,012 consecutive days? You feed it to the cat. because the cat consume it in all her nine lifetimes. You give it to a poor relative, because no relative is so poor that he will accept a hand- me-down turkey.

You bundle it up and send it to Britain, because the British are still angry at us for palming off on them all the mountains of eggs we had left after World War II Of course, you could dig a hole in the hack yard big enough to bury it in, but a hole that large would take three days of steady digging. The best way, however, to get rid of left over turkey is to avoid having it in the first place. When they announce at the office you have won a turkey you say: thank you. Tear up my ticket. I almost lost my happy home once by bringing home an office Thanksgiving turkey.

BUSINESS MIRROR Novelist Scored Early Victory for Consumers Bv JOHN CUNNIFF AP BuMneas Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The consumer protection movement may be traced into biblical times hut in the United States one of its most enduring mileposts was driven into the American consciousness in 1906 with publication of Jungle." That book, which described the shockingly filthy conditions in Chicago slaughterhouses and the human debasement they brought with them, was written by Upton Sinclair, for whom funeral services will be held Saturday in New Jersey. It is easy to believe that a 90- year-old man could have had little to do with what today is thought to be a very modern issue, the protection of consumers in the market place. But it would be incorrect.

Although relatively inactive in his later years, Sinclair had much to do with the present Federal Trade Commission hearings and truth in packaging and truth in lending and new and better Better Business Bureaus. In 1906 there was considerable agitation but not as much action toward resolving some of the social and economic problems that had grown astride the burgeoning industrial economy.

Moreover, the act put the federal government firmly into the consumer protection business for good.
