georgetown herald pubttstwd by hm newspapers limited 22 main street south georgetown ontario w c 1iihn publisher thursday march 16th 1967 editorial comment two full houses while an auditorium of teenagers were hurtling to the music of rising folk singer gordon lightfoot friday a full arena was absorbed in gfoom as the hockey raiders ended their season with a sound trouncing by aurora whtle this friday will not go down m georgetown s permanent history it will last in memory for some years 4 the lightfoot concert brought a touch pf the big time to town for lightfoot is next scheduled for a concert in toronto s massey hail and hovers on the verge of the big time it had little advance publicity and was restricted to students and quests the raider game was the climax of a season which gave georgetown one of its best hockey years aurora and georgetown finished nece and neck in the schedule and ft was a foregone conclusion that they its all free with a red cross financial blitz plan jied next monday it is hmely to remind readers of the many good things accomp lished by this fine organization on the local tfational and international scene georgetown is particularly fortunate o have a dedicated group of workers who never falter in doing their best be it blood crime help in times of fire and flood pro motion of water safety and the many facets of the work erroneous stories sometimes are circu lated and one of these is that the blood col lacted at clinics such as was held here on monday is sold the red cross executive is anxious to refute such stories and has asked would lock horns in the finals they dead- losked in the first four games each winning twice on home ice and it was bad luck that the pattern would change with a raider loss on home ice despite the abbreviated season we think this years teem will be remembered as one of the classiest a different tip of the scaes and we might well have had an on ontario championship for we predict that aurora will clinch this now crowd support has been particularly good as indicated that even with hundreds of their fans at the high school there was stilt a turn away crowd al the arena it recalls those days when it was the rule rather than the exception that the arena was jammed for every hockey game and seats were always at a premium when playoff time came the harald to reaffirm that this is never the case every pint donated is given free to hospital blood banks for use when requir ed it is also pertinent to note that while the national red cross organization must of necessity have an office and officials on a full time basis and thus are paid salaries local volunteers are ust that unpaid hu manitarians who give their time and talent without fee not a penny is paid either to executive members or to those who assist at such things as the blood clinic it is a total con tnbution to mans welfare and one which deserves the gratitude of the community seed catalogue time harley to halton weekly observations by dr harry harley mp for hilton i thought i might review in this column some of the as pects ol the drug industry in canada the drug committee hearings have now been com plctcd the committee is now faced with many decisions which could significantly alter the drug industry in canada our report must bring in a pro gramme which will maintain a proper balance between the in tereata of tho industry and the interests of the drug consumer and will also have to take in to consideration the importance of increased scientific research in canada it was fully realized from tho beginning that there would bo no simple or single recom mcndation that the committee could make that would autoro aucally lead to a reduction in the cost of drugs to the con- burner this can be brought ab out only by a variety of meas urcs and it was for this reason that the committee studied all aspects of drugs the man ufacturing level the whole sale level and the retail level the recommendation made most frequently to the committee was that the got emment should remove the i2 federal sales tax on prcs- it should be pointed out cnptinn drugs however to do that most of the canadian drug this alone and do nothing else industrj is under foreign con would not significantly reduce trol just recently the last large the cost of drugs to the consu canadian firm prosst ot mon fmer treal was purchased by an it is my sincere hope thaj american company the quckt the committee s report will be ion of international control available in the cry near future therefore enters the picture nd at that time t will go into and canadian subsidiaries pay details of tho report itself patent royalties to llicir parent companies outside of canada most of the drugs manufactured in canada arc actually imported from outside of canada in their raw state and very little manu facture of raw materials takes place in canada itself most re search of drug companies takes place at the head ofticc and as these head offices are located georgetown herald published by horn newspaper limited georgetown ontario walter c biehn publisher garfield mcgilvray production superintendent sugar and spice by bill smiley kims

mail regarding trading lampa has been quite substan tlal letters range from havent jou got something more important to worry ab out to please please please support the bill to outlaw them i hate received more letters from people opposed to stamps than from people who like them and use them opinions are in three categories 1- those who like stamps and continually collect them these hoppers say that the prizes nd gifts they obtain are worth while items that they would not normally buy some admit that it is their gambling instinct that gives them satisfaction al though they claim the store cat logues are sometimes mislead ing they accept the proposition that the gimmick costs money and therefore must be added to the cost of food however they are resigned to the fact grocers must advertise and promote and if not with stamps then in some ether way in which the customer may not be able to participate customers bare a choice they argue there for it would be contrary to our conception of a free democratic sodety to ban this choice would we trade this for toe drab old days of bulk merchandiseand homespun garments 2 the second category are those customers who don t wafly care u long a they hare a choke the people indicate that fhey know the system is costly think it i silly bat op pose government legislation and regulajkn op principle 3 people who support the idea of banning trading stamps are more vocal and quite vehe ment they think quite rightly in my opinion that stamps are just one item that has made the whole food industry such a controversial one towels and dishes in soap packages mugs in oatmeal toya in cereal most ly items that are unnecessary and add greatly to the coat of the product large packages that say 10c e 10c off what and contain less of the product than a amal ler package of the same brand without the barg ain the hard ware store and the drug store does not gimmick their custo mers to such a degree why then the grocery store when food is so eaaential and prices continue to rise the main rea son of course ii that there is little or no difference in the quality of products sold in gro cery stores because many wo men today do not take adequate time to shop they are mora sus ceptible to the something for nothing principle large con venlent stores with elaborate packaging wida choice of mer chandise and fast service has made real marketing a thing of the past merchants really dont have to sell the manufac turer does that for them with the contest and the giveaway the ban the stamp rapport era therefore feel tha some thing should be done to correct this gigantic sham and that gov emment regulation is the ans uer the food industry faced with such control will do some thing about the problem them selves frankly i have my doubts 1 dont think the large food chains will get the message mainly because there are too many people v ho are indifferent about all those cruel things be- ing done to them fortunately or unfortunately we cant change human nature more important government legislation could never be ef fective in the three provinces that ban stamps they stopped them before they ever became available there are just many other gimmicks to bother and distract the customer i am told that 10 will buy just as many groceries in ontario as it will in alberta where stamps are against the law the district
