Year's Food Bih1 Nears 8 Million <Speclal to The Canadiau Statesman) NEW YORKC, Aug. 28 - The chang- ing times are produclng corresponding changes in the inanner ti which Durham County residents are spending their money. Because local ticornes have been ris- Ing faster than the ceit of living, the average family has been able to eat better, te dress better and to add to its expend- itures for recreation and for hobbies. The data on local spending ability and spending habits cornes from a Canada-United States survey made by Sales Management. It details the emphas- is being given by the consumer te such items as food, autos, clothing, house furn- ishings and general merchandise. Much of the money spent ti Dur- hamr County's retail stores ti the past year went for food, it was found. Meat mnarkets, bakenies, groceries, f ish stores and supermarkets took in a total of $7,796,000 during the year as cern- pared with $7,350,000 ti 1957. This outlay, for take-home food, represented 27 cents of every retail dol- lar. It was more than was budgeted for food by most fan'ilies in Canada, the av- erage being 23 cents. It was also 23 cents in the Province of Ontario. The food bill, if divided equally arnong the local population, would amount te $716 per household. Net included ti the total is the money spent for on-the-preniises food and drink in lunchrooms, ti restaurants, at soda fountains and the like. Although people were restrained, ini general, in their spending last year be- cause of the business let-down, most re- tail lines held up well, under the circum- stances. Some fared better than others. In stores selling automotive equip- ment, such as cars, rnotorcycles and boats, the gross volume for the year came te $4,986,000. It amounted te 17 cents of the retail dollar. Those handling general merchandise accounted for $2,579,000, equivalent to 9 cents. Shops selling drugs chalked up $786,000, equal te nearly 3 cents. Sales of home furnishinga totaled $598,000, taking 2 cents more. , or the past several weeks, we have been iridulging ti a fiendly argument wlth town council over somne aspects ef their operation. We have tried te avoid being personal or nasty i any way, mnerely attempting te, debate our position with as m'uch logic as we cemmand. Along the street and on the 'phone we have received a considerable measure of support for our stand, as well as some criticism. Unfortunately and regretfully we have found that many citizens have the opinion th.at we think there is some- thing underhanded going on at council; that the whole council and many on the staff should be thrown eut on their ear, and se on, ad infinitum and ad nauseum. We have ne intention of retreating from our position on the particular issue we discussed, but we do hasten te niake it clear that the members of council, from the mayor te the newest councillor are ti our opinion honorable, conscientieus, publtc-spirlted citizens doing their best to perforrn their difficult and thankless cern- mnunity responsibility. Much ef the cnticism that has been levelled at coundil has corne about because they have beeri trying te make many in- provements and needed extensions te this muntcipality's facilities. Almost every deparnment has been completely reorgan- ized withtn the past two years and brought up-to-date with new equipment and, tin any instances, new personnel. This ha& been a major project i whlch ELvery business enterprîse ta made Up of four activittes: tinancing, producing, atcounting and selllig. Wlthout selling- the finding, wmnning and keeping o! eutomers-none of the others cari stand up. There ta ne textbook that gives a ready-made plan for every business, but there ane mary lutile things that may be learnied anid put into practice as pinciples by anycrie whose -success depends upon marketing goods or services, say The Smiths Falls Record-News. The principles may be collected i a rough anid ready way under iwo headings: (1) why dees the buyer want what you have te seil; and (2) why should he IDatronize you instead of some other sell- er? The answers te these questions are equally vital whether you have a srnall cross-roads store ti the country or a huge factorv ti a city; whether you sell your persorial services or deal ti the highly sophisticated field of tidustrial gooda. A good policy for màking the meut of your opportunities ia net arrived at by chance, but ta the outceme cf careful thinking about a number o! important factors. The old idea that anycrie wlth a little money cari stant a business la f ast giving way te a realization et the value of knowledge. The last year'a report of Duri and Bradstreet of Canada, Limlted, on Canad- ian business failures peints up sharply the rieed for study, preparation and constant watchfulns. 0f 1,320 failures in 1956, 1,273 were due te lack of exper- tence or iricompetence resultiig tI con- ditions sucli as inadequate sales, receiv- We had intended te write an editorial welcorning the fali season and recapping the events of the summer. But, unless that premised cool weather has put in an appearance by the timne this reaches our readers It will be difficuit to convince them that sumrner is actually over. Before beginning a forecast of things to corne within the week, it might be well te recali that this has been a discourag- mng year for individual farmers in this area.

JAPM, Ez>zS many present members have played vital roles and spent many houri of concentrat- ed effort. We would be most unhappy if our efforts te improve council's public rela- tions were misinterpreted te mean that we believe any or ail of them should be retired or ousted frorn their positions on town council. That would be one of the greatest mistakes that could be made by our citizens. Ail of the present council are devoted te the welf are of this cern- munity, with very little thought of any personal gain from their council activities, It lu easy te imagine the confusion, the lowering of morale among employees, and the lack o! continulty which would result if an entirely new group of inex- perienced men were suddenly te be plac- ed in authority as members of council. These remarks will net sit well with those who have been heaping commenda- tien on our heads for "blasting" council. But, mest fair-minded people will agree that, actually, they cari pin-point very little wrong with this council's projects or planning. We felt that we had found a weakness which should be corrected. net for our convenience or welfare, but ti the best tnterests e! the cemmunity. Having brought It te council's attention, we have every confidence that, as reason- able men, the situation will be corrected. But, let us net condemn the entire ergan- izatien and attempt te replace it. That would be sheer waste. ables difficulties, Iriventory trouble, cern- petitive weakness and excessive fixed assets. Of ail these, inadequate sales afflicted 48 per cent ef the firrns. It is, then, necessary te know what people warit and make it available te themti a pleasant and convenient way. l'h. perfection of sellng either goods or yourself îs te appeal te people Individu- ally. By your personal effort you see through the buyer's eyes, and know the things that must be cleared away te enable him te a.ppreciate the good points of what you offer. Lots of sentimental things have been written in prose and poetry about a smile, but is plain, practical value ta easy te prove ti wtnnmng and keeping customers. Ariyere cari gain alrnost mir- aculous results fer himseif by personal experiment ti smiling. Friendliness is sought by everyone, and everyone is pleased when he meets it la others. No matter how big your cencerri rnay become, you should make an effort te maintairi a "home attitude," in which every member of yeur staff lu part of a well-bred family anid every prospect or customer is treated as a guest. The visiter ta warmly welcorned, pleasanitly and patiently waited on, anid carnies away the feeling that his visit was appreciated. What ta the proot e! this? We can find it in ourselves.
