[USMA:38893] Persistent attitudes toward metric

[Scott Hudnall]

I was talking with a co-worker the other day, and was appalled to  
learn he thought metrication was a communist plot. I had heard this  
once as a school boy back in the 1970's , but thought it was a joke.  
I did some searching on the Internet and found this clip from 1977 in  
the CBC archives.

The clip is 30 years old, and communism is all but dead - so what can  
we do to change these attitudes?
