dttiulpfe ttw littu duy it is surprising to discover in these limes when it it to generally believed that big business it crowding out the little guy that the biggest food ttore in canada it operated not by one of the chalntlore corn- panlet but an independent grocer ralph kraft of kitchener ontario quitting a fact ory ob in 1947 to open a small store ho now does a gross business of 5000000 a year and expectt to double that figure in three to five yoars others may argue that the independents can compete with the chains onjy with the help of legislation to levy extra taxet ban trading stamps or en force early closing hours but ho doct hot agree chain ttore competition reports tho toronto trade publication marketing hold no fears for ralph kraft whose sprawling hi way market at kitchener ont has broken ono record and will soon set another al ready the largest independent food store in canada an addition will bring itt ilia to 64000 square feet by late summer and make it the largest food ttore chain or independ ent in the country its success hat been built on solid mer ehandlslng without gimmicks or stamp plant and without fear of chain stores which kraft rogards ilnrtffly at good ethical competition a big factor in the ttoret success kraft be lieve it the late hours the tlorenuayt open until 10 pm every night and it the only food ttore in the city to do to about 40 per cent of hit customers thop after 6 pm and while chain tlorat traditionally sell at lets cost than independents can kraft foals he it winning the fight on thlt front at well he saves money in several ways for one thing he has 60000 square feel of warehouse space on the premises mostly in basement areas which saves him about two per cent in handling cotlt ovor most chain tloret a quiet time there wont be too many flagt in envl- dence no fireworkt displays are planned and theres tome confusion about which day to celebrate but saturday is dominion day and unfortunately if won t be much more than a holiday in those parts dominion day of course is one of the most significant dales in canadian hittory but the typical restraint of w9 canadian leads u tu mini lli ev and caier to the american tourists who will be celebrating independence day a newspaper of the 1867s published in hallon noted that the setting apart of a special day of rcoicing as a national birth day it etsential to our entrance into the fami ly of nations and no day could be more ap propriate than that on which we mako our debut the american is proud of his glori- oot fourth but how much more should canadlant be proud of the day that has uthered their nation into existence other na tional holidays have been baptised in blood but ours in the offspring of peace let then the 1st of july be celobrated by canadlant as their natal day and at time it in itt unend ing rounds brings us to that day it will be come more and more fraught with pleating recollections and bright and glorious antici pations for tho future by tho next year the same newspaper corrjmonlod yesterday was the first anni versary of the new dominion and all were e to reojeflliioifionbutrwaconf we found loo much cause for anxiety for the future io reioice over tho present state of our dominion and so perhapt on thlt another anni versary saturday of the founding of the do minion we are more concerned with the business of a holiday than with our concern for fhe future of canada we think however that canadians are truly proud of their country although a little less exhuberant in its celebrations surely the celebration in 1967 will mark the centen nial of the country quite exhuberently and cct the holiday on a more symoblic holiday plane through its second century fl the good old days opening elop if you have already rend that the of ficial opening of upper canada village was a flop at far it the spectators were concern ed you weren t led astray after reading the reams of publicity on the recreation of the typical 19th century village near mornsburg we decided to visit it and attend the openingday s ceremonies opening day ceremonies started at 2 30 pm and finally after speeches and military displays the ceremonies were concluded after 6- p m thousands of chairs set up in chrysler farm battlefield park for the cere monies had been vacated in the face of bit ing winds and an 18 item program that drag ged on interminably opening of the upper canada village scheduled for about 4 30 pm was closer to 6 30 and hundreds left long before that after that long a wait visitors finally saw the gate unlocked crowded in to see what all the publicity was about and found every one of the buildings locked protestations merely brpught the sugges tion visitors would have to return the next day to see the contents exasperated but aware that a drive of 600 miles wouldnt be repeated for some time we waited until the next day sunday and toured the village two of thetauildings were occuppied how ever by tv or film board crews and still closed to the public but less we do an injustice to upper canada village let us explain it is definitely worthwhile and excellently done the build ings and their contents can indeed transfer the visitor back to 1 9th century living pro bably the protocol and red tape will be well interred by another weekend and visitors will be able to see the village as it should be seen at leisure a visit should allow time for at least half a day in the village and a day could easily be occupied its recreation is a tribute to those who must have labored long and pain stakingly to prepare the village as it is see it if you can a time for care more traffic fatalities occur in summer thanwinter la july and august of last year there were almost three times as many traf fie deaths as in january safety experts state that 99 per cent of all accident are avoidable and only a very few are caused by bad roads poor conditions or mechanical failures the following tips from professional drivers may be helpful l drivi a str car or rf someone has used your car recently re ad ust the scat and rear view mirror a straight posture behind the wheel is safer and more efficient than a slouching one 3 hands should grasp the nm of the steering wheel not the spokes most profes tional drivers suggest a fairly high position on the wheel 4 most restful position is with the upper arms vertical and the elbows fairly close to the body 5 driving should be done when vou are relaxed and alert times of emotional stress or unusual tiredness are unsafe for dnv ng 6 always start the car slowly stop smoothly and slowly quick stops except in emergencies are the mark of a careless driver 7 watch the car ahead of you and the one ahead of that check the rear view mir ror frequently especially when slowing or stopping 8 on the open road keep up with the traffic don t fall behind or try to beat it 9 on long trips take frenquent rests and don t overeat always keep at least one window partly open 10 always drive more slowly at night ntidli by rllrr tal ir n ittr t t r jr suyzt zod sfoice the acton free press 3 pubutbed by tbe duu priatla attd hiblltbbf co ltd fuuruled in 187
