Demehinan> "The iPacker Took Leme Thau A Cent-Who dot The other 99" In the fiscal year endlng March 30, 1949, total sales of Canada Packers Limited amounted to $314,918,888. Ten years ago, in 1939, the total was $77,000,000. This is an agricultural industry, it deals with the processing of farm products. Farmers in these years were prasperous. Total in- corne from the sale of aîl farm produdts in Canada moved up from $717,000,000 in 1939, to $2,250,000,000 i 1948. Keeping these figures i mid let us now examine what might be called the "packers' dollar", for 1939. the year which brought the be- ginning of the war. and 1949, the fiscal year ending Match 30 in both years. Out of each dollar received there was paid: A. M. Shea The appointment of A. M. Shea, formerly superintendent of the St. Lawrence Division, Mon- treal, as superintendent of the Belleville Division with head- quarters at Belleville, has been announced by N. A. Walford, gen- eral superîntendent, Toronto, Canadian National Railways. Andrew M. Shea was born ixè Montreal, where he entered the service of the oid Grand Trunk Railway, now a part of the Na- tional System, in June, 1911, as a brakeman. He was made a con- ductor five years later and in Jan- uary, 1942, moved to Coteau, Que., as trainmaster. He returned to Montreal in June of the samp year as assistant superinténdent, and the following year was ap- pointed to the position which he now relinquishes to assume his new duties at Belleville.

Sales -- 99.24 Profits from Operations......---- Plus Incarne from Investments Dividends from Subsidieriels Total Net Profit on Each Dollar of Sales____ Profits from aperations per dollar of sales in 1949 were less than half the 1939 level. On each $100.00 of sales in 1939 the net profit from operations was $1.61- in 1949 itwas 76 cents. To this was added, in the latter year, two other items which did not corne out of the pocket of the consumer, incarne fromn invest- ments and dividends from sub- sidiaries, bringing total profits ta .89 cents pet dollar of sales. This is an lnteresting state- ment, it taises certain questions: l)-Haw did the consumer Lare in those two years? 2)-Was Labor well paid? 3)-Did the farmer get a fair deal? 4)-Were profits sufficiently high ta encourage expansion of industry? The Evidence is shown in the Annual Report of Canada Packers for the year ending March 3th, 1949. The consumers were prosper- ous. Prosperity is measured by capacity to consume. Consump- tion of meat varies from year to year. Demand depends on the price of meat and the earnings of those who buy it. In 1939 pet capita cansumptian of meat by civilians stood at 114.6 paunds. It rnoved ta a high ôf 155.5 pounds in 1943. In 1948 it was down ta 135.3 pounds. This is higher than any pre-war record. It was high during the war years. Men and wornen were working hard. The hauts of work were long, they needed more meat. In 1948 aver- age consumption was 20.7 pounds above the 1939 level. The facts tell the story, the evidence is irrefutable. Was Labor well paid? The ac- tuai amount paid out in salaries, wages and bonuses in the fiscal year ending Match 30th was threej tirnes the 1939 level. What about the farmer? The Bureau of Statistics puts total incarne frorn the sale of farm product sat $717,015,000 in 1939-1 .76 .02 .11 .89 1939 80.45 8.86 4.37 2.66 .69 .21 1.15 98.39 1.61 $2,449,865,000 in 1948, mare than three times the 1939 level. In this period, earnings o! alI classes were high but in any other industries, as well as the one we are now reviewing, profits per dollar o! sales were excep- tionelly low. The figures here given are typicel of other firrns in the same industry. High vol- urne of production, low profits pet unit of sales is the real besis of sound industrial progress. Meat prices rose during the war and are still high. The aver- age price of ehl products sold by Canada Packers Limited in 1939 was 9.6e pet pound, in 1949 it was 21c pet pound. Why did prices tise? Canadian consumption in- creased sharply. The figures are already befote us. Exports ta Bni- tain moved up from 186,500,000 pounds in 1939 ta 692,300,000 pounds in 1944. Costs of product- ion were high. It was necessary ta increase prices in order ta in- crease production. Evetybody kicked about prices. The meat packing companies were big and the bigger the terget the easier it is ta hit. Sorne deemed it good business, politically, ta hit the meat packers. The criticismn still cohtinues. It always will. The only objection ta it is that some people are cereless with the f acts. There are those who want ta nationalfze this industry for the benefit of the, employees. Since 1944 Canada Packers Lirnited has paid more in bonuses to its em- ployees than it has paid in divi- dends ta its shareholders, profits from apet-atians have been cut from $1.61 pet $100.00 of sales in 1939 ta 76 cents per $100.00 of sales in 1949. If you bought products valued et $1,000 in 1939, the packer, fat his services, received $16.10. In the fiscal year ending Match 30, 1949, the packer on this piece of busineses made a net. profit af $7.60 or less than half as much HANDS IN TRAINING as he made ini 1939. And you and do' likewise. groused about it! Why? SeflUng Note. Total wage, salary mdhi on an exceedingly smafl margin bonus payments amounted ta he made a lot of money. There is $6,820,000 ini 1939-to $22,092,000 nothing to hold you back go thou in 1949. DANCING ]POREVERYGNE' VARCOE'S -PAVILION OC T. '281h 50c Per Person Prizes - Courfice C.C.F. Thousands Wilh Hearing Loss Ever Gratelul for Expert's Free Clinic 1 It seemed strange to me how a loss of hearing could sa markedly affect a person's personality. Hav- ing witnessed this change in an associate . . I decided ta ask Mr. Ellis' opinion about it. He quickly revealed how thor- oughly thé modemn specialist un- derstands the problems of the hard-of-hearing. "People wha have studied psy- chology explain it by calling such a personality change a 'compen- sation.' In other words, the per- san with a hearing impairment unconsciously tried ta make up ta himself for the changes that have taken place. "Let me give yau an exemple o! an actual case. Not long ago I gave a free hearing test toaa young girl, who is a law student. I could see at the end of the con- sultation\ %while she was hearing welI, she still appeared troubled. She told me she was deeply con- cerned about her career, and the trouble she was having in classes ..and yét she was undecided. "I asked her why a young, at- tractive girl like herself, who likes dancing . . . who wants a career ... and who admits her difficulty ...could be s0 undecided about wearing a hearing aid when the Acousticon had returned her hear- ing as close as possible ta normal. "She said, 'But Mr. Ellis, how would I be able ta hide rny hear- ing instrument?' "I explained that there were many different types of hearing loss, each requiring a different fitting . . . and that ber impair- ment was what we caîl perceptive or nerve type loss. Not able ta hear herself talk, or contrai ber voice . . . she had developed a typical, high-pîtched nasal voice which would steadily get worse. "Her Acousticon fitting was the result of a simple but efficient analysis . , , and was the anc model of 36 new Constellations that would give ber maximum correction. 1 then pointed out how with the,new 'Invisible' ear- piece she would be able ta heer the way people with no impair- ment did . . . in a way sa com- pletely unnoticeable that-even her closest friend wouldn't spot it. Needless ta say sh 2 took the Acousticon . . . and, like thou- sands of others, is fotever grateful that she attended aur free hear. ing clinic." Leaving Mr. Ellis' office, I won- dered how anyone with a heating 4loss could put off getting an Acousticon. Oh, yes . . . they might feel self-conscious for a short time. But think seriously, who is the conspicuous one? The persan that is enjoying life with a normal personality . . . or, the persan who allows a hearing im- peirment ta injure their health, irritate their families, risk their business and spoil their whole outlook on life? If there is any doubt about your decision . . . see Mr. Ellis. Acousticon can quickly pravide the answer! FREE HEARING TEST Thursday, October 2Oth - f rom 1 - 9 p.m GENOSHA HOTEL - OSHAWA H. Ellis in attendance a FOR ONTARIO Learning Business Practice IN Ontario the wbeels of industry turn for the benefit of every single ione of us. Our lethes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business machines, etc. are producing goods and services wbich earn dollars. These dollars proviJe food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which contriTbute. teo our security and bigh standard of living. Every single one of us, therefore, bas a very personal interest in the flow of a steedy supply of trained workers te industriel plants. These workers wilI operate machines wbich are important to our way of life. We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government, industry and labour in the field o f empioyee training. In schools and in factories aur workers, young and old, are given the opportunity ta develop new and specifie skills in every field of business and ind ustria I ectivity. For instance, every effort on the part of office workers ta become pro- ficient in typing, filing, shortband and secreterial work, will mean greater business efficiency-will help to make Ontario a finer place in which ta live and work. u THIE BREWINd INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) Our Way of Life Rowarde Trained Bande SOntario workers know tbey caen m mare, bave executive responsibility Sand eajoy a higher standard of living : in direct ratio ta tise sk-ills they ac- :quire and the way they mnake use of tbem..
