PAGE 12, WHITBV FREE PRESS, THURSDAY JUNE 7, 1973 rKALNINS Ie ON M ONARCH Y The Royal visit is on. The Queen is coming. So is Prince Philip and later on Princess Alexandra. (?) A Itogether, if L.m correct, Canadians will be blessed with three Royal visits. Her Majesty, of course, will lead the way. By now, 1 suppose, a good nuniber of Canadians, most of theni of British descent are getting a littie excited about these Royal visits. We're again ini for flag waving, honour guards, long and tediouis parades and, no douibt, a barrage of officiaI greetings and mile- long speeches. The nîonarchy should be preserved. probably by a distinguished politician or a university professor later wvriting on it. Then, there will be plenty of srniles ail around and the custornary' toast to the Queen. Many citizens won't be able to afford to mnake this toast possible with a glass of wine, so probably they will drink the best country water available straighit from the Albion Hilîs. (Thats the place where the AVEON 1DXOQULIY\X FUEL NOW ,le ut Todur fe PMO Q * ... «J»w DX FUEL, OIL N48 Brewmaster Hirnself gets the purest water for brewing his Lager Beer.)« Fortunately, 1 won't be liere to extend my "6personal" greetîngs* to Her Majesty, nor will I be asked to make a journey to Toronto for this occasion. For one, 1 will miss (gadly) ail the traffie jams and long line-ups along University Avenue. Moreover, 1 don 't give a danin whetler she cornes to Canada or visits a carniibal chief in Zambia, The Queen to nme is like Richard Nixon to many dis- senting Americans. Although I have nothing personal against Her Majesty and Prince Philip, I feel they should leave Canada alone. Perlmaps one visit in ten years that would be more like it. But , imagine, three Royal Tours in one year. I say, let's stop this Royal nonsense. I amn told thiat a single Royal yisit to Canada costs a C.anadian taxpayer close to a million dollars. Are we so rich that we canî afford (o waste our hard-earned dollars in this mianner? I believe that many Canadians have beeîî coaxed into paying a rather hefty price for maintaining British rnonarchy ini this country. As far as l'îîî concerned, The Queen is only a symbol like many other political symbols of the past. The Prime Minister of Canada cami invite lier for a lunch; or the Opposition Leader Bob Stanfield can invite lier to inspect his underwear empire, but, fo>r Pete's sake let's stop) miaking ail this noise and hoopla every time she sets foot on Canadian soul. Fina«,lly, one must remember that The Quecuii s pro- bably not all that anxious to visit Canuada every time we open a îîew Commnunity Centre and start a new power project ini Labrador, Like a hurnan being,'she would like to spend that time on the beach (summer time is a very good time for that) and, perhaps, go sailing, hiking and fishing. Tlhere is just too muchi protocol and ifs tirne (bat we discard some of these Victorian remnants. Weil, cheers with a glass of water to the real Queen- minus Royal paraphernalia. The Day Thoy Stopp.d Advertising CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK There was no reaction. The men were fidgeting, making excuses to actually leave the roomn to take telephone calîs. In the niiddle of the demonstration', one of the top men announced that he had just ac- cepted a job in Holland. Shortly after that, anothe r brand mani said he had taken a post at York University to teach the history of competition in business. With no advertising, you see, there was no more need for brand men, product managers and the rest. For product labels ail you need is a good lawyer. The research and development men were stunnied. They had always believed, along with Ralph Waldo Emerson - "If you build a Iîetter mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door." No dice P & G's president explained to the eager research people. "You have a great new product, boys, but experience teaches us that we must brîng new products to the attention of the consumer or shie wiII ilever think of changing lier normal buying patterns. If you relied on word of mouth it would take years. Not womiîî ftie investment ini packages and ma- chines. Sorry." Other decisions were made. SlhelI had nu- lead gasolimie wbich actually worked better thian high-octane gasoline anîd cleaned spark plugs and mufflers. But wbo could they tell? Pepperidge Farms stopped its plans for a great new apple pie. General Motors shelved a new rotary engine that would give better mnileage in cold weather than any ordinary e ng inie. Ski-Doo abandoned its first prototype snow- mobile which would be compîeteîy sulent and Pretty PolIy discarded plans to produce a Panty Hose which would neyer run. The Canadian Manufacturers' Association sent a cable to the Prime Minister. ht remînded bum of A the new ideas of great value to the public which were introduced over the years - nylons in place of silk stockings, Continued on Page 14 THE CARSON FUNIERAL HOME& CHAPEL Persona# Famiiy Service To Sro@kia end Surroundlng Areas Pobert J.Corson - Funerai Director 635-3662 Dey or Highf Funerais Wit hi n The Mount. 0f Ai familles 79 Baldwin St., Srookiu, fHwys. 12 à 7) COUNT Y BROADLOOM LTD 1742 Brock St. S. of ALL CROSSLEY KARASTAN CARPETS e..VI VEAU A beaUtiful 2 Tone Shag, ist Quality only.
