The commission pointed finger at modern merchandis- ing's high spending on promotion devices as one factor in rising food costs. Promotion methods which take the place of price cuts "are de- trimental to the consumer," it said. Dealing with one of these meth- ods--the trading stamp--the re- port said shopping housewives its £ # in two appendixes. should be able to get a specified § cash discount in lieu of stamps. Promotional devices, it argued, are the most expencable of the many "services" offered by mod- ern stores, notably supermarkets, to attract customers. RAISE COSTS These services had contributed to an 84-per-cent increase in the last decade in the total cost of getting food from farm to market basket. But the main theme in the find- ings of the seven-member com- mission was that persuasion and publicity, not legislation, should be used to encourage price re- ductions where possible. Two of its recommendations were to that end: 1. Extension of combines in- quiry activities into the buying and selling practices of large business organizations in the food industries. It mentioned break- fast food manu'acturers and chain stores as examples of the kind of situation that should be scrutinized: '"'abnormally high" profils in relation to capital, ac- companied by "abncrmally high promotional expendiiures" in re- lation to sales. 2. Establishment of 2 Destin council on es, uctiv- _ FA tabs on d publicize -- developments in the food industry, especially "situations In which increasing efficiency offers prospects of] price reductions." NEED PUBLICITY Dr; Andrew Stewart, commis- sion chairman, said at a press conference that the commission decided legislative medicine] would be worse than the ailment. But it felt publicity would "bring pressure on firms whose profits are high over a long period of time." On that point the report said its 'findings "provide no reason- able grounds for condemning the whole food marketing system." The system, "spearheaded by large firms," had many substan- tial achievements to its credit. "It is important that where] correctives are to be applied, these do not result in throwing out the baby with the bath water."

All signed the report. but Mrs. Walton and Mr. Couvrette ex- pressed some minor differences The commission was charged with investigating the price spread on farm and fishery pro- duets between producer and con- sumer and deiermining whether the price spreads weré "fair and reasonable" in relation to the services rendered. The commission passed no judgment on the fairness of price spreads in any of the food pro- ducts it studied. "We know of no objective test," the report said. Instead, it looked at farm re- turns, labor costs and profits to see whether they were out,of line. It cleared farmers of any re- ibility for the 20-per-cent years after the com was set up Dec. 10, 1957. Its studies mainly cover the 10 years 1949-58. A third volume, containing vari- ous studies, is to be issued later. Chairman Stewart, 55, now is chairman of the Board of Broad- cast Governors. The Edinburgh- born ist, once a Manitob farmer, is a former president of the University of Alberta.

Farm prices in 1958 were at 1949 levels, and had been below that for much of the 10 years. Wages in the food industries had been below wages in com- parable activities, except for the mecat-packing industry. But it found profits, expressed as a percentage of capital invest- ment, varying widely among food industries. In the entire retail trade during the nine years up to 1957, this rate of profits toppea 10 per cent in only the first three years. The profit rates for wholesale firms and for the meat-packing, fruit and vegetable processing, and baking industries were also be- low 10 per cent, "I went had WINDSOR (CP) through the war and never an experience like this."

MOVES AND IS SEEN THREE WINNIPEG players get a bath of champagne from a fellow player as the Blue 'FIZZ-0UT GAME' TORONTO (CP) -- The fans blowout that usually accompanies a Grey Cup game lost some of its force this year, suggesting the annual football classic has been given back to the players. But the teams didn't take up the challenge, as Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated Hamilton Ti- ger-Cats 21-7 Saturday in a dull ish, close-to-the-vest defensive game, Most of the excitement was crammed into about 10 minutes of the fourth quarter, when Win- nipeg exploded for two touch- downs. Compared to last year's 35-28 thriller in Vancouver, when Win- nipeg overcame a first-quarter 14-point deficit to defeat Hamil ton, this year's perfgrmance was a fizz-out. CELEBRATIONS RESTRAINED To be sure, the post - game merry-making 'continued far into the night but seemed less bois- iterous and spontaneous than in past years, "This was the quietest Grey Cup celebration I've ever seen," "After daybreak I saw a boat and moved to attract attention.
