entavsyrgcqn georgetown phone 6 the editors the farmer looks at advertising the report in this issue of a recent discussion on marketing held by farm forums in the county shows that farmers are beginning to investigate the possibil ity of collective advertising already the dairy industry has taken a step in this direction and has planned a ser ies of advertisements which will appear each month in newspapers and magazines throughout canada un fortunately the herald is not as yet included in the ser ies so local readers will not be able to judge the effec tiveness of the- copy appeal which is aimed at selling more dairy produce particularly in industrialized areas cooperative advertising while it is a new venture for farmers has been with uifox m year such things as bicycles salmon apples banking services and life insurance are gbod examples of advertising cam paigns where a number of producers or companies as the case may be have banded together to promote the use of a product or service with the theory that if mass sales can be raised each will sharein the profits it is a logical developmentjhatfrnieis can benefit from such cooperation if they get together and plan the proper approach to the consumer certainly the indiv idual farmer believes that advertising is effective one has only to read the classified advertising in the herald to see this apples turnips and potatoes turkeys anch chickens seed and strawberries are items which are fre- quently seen advertised in the classified column it stands to reason that if individuals can dispose of their products in this way that collective action can bring re sults too it is disappointing at the same time to see not one mention made by any of the county forums of the value of advertising in the county press if surpluses are to be disposed of the first place to look for a market should be at home farmers who themselves form a large per centage of the readership of weekly newspapers should be well aware of the readerinterest of the weeklies compared to daily newspapers and magazines where are the hockey fans continued reports of poor attendance- at the inter mediate hockey fixtures in town causes real concern for the future of oha competition in georgetown it is particularly regrettable because this year georgetown has perhaps the best yet in a series of good teams which have brought two championships and one near-cham- pionship for the raiders club officials are g more and more worried about the financing of the team and it can only be done with one thing money in addition to the heavy ex pense necessary to operate a team this year injuries have added further bills to a growing deficit hospital bills for rene martin leigh and max bradbury will have to be paid by the club and a few hundred specta tors at a game doesnt balance the iormat budget let alone allow for this the hockey club is providing the best possible hockey with a good team guided by a good coach there is only one thing the public can do to support them and that is fo turn out to the games if we dont next year wemaybe saying why dont we have a hockey team georgetowns history v continuing a series of

realization tlfat the present suc cessive rounds of wage increases will finally price canadian industry out of world markets with detrimental results to ownership and labour alike the urgent need of the day is a stabilizing of prices and wages it is apparent that such a trtahil- ization cannot be achieved under the procedure nowused in the set tlement of labour disputes gov ernment through a

assistance of a government mediator thereafter neither of the two parties is held responsible in my way- for the in creased cost of living caused by granting a wage increase or for the consequent demands made by other classes of workers to meet such ris ing living costs this union is entirely opposed to all forms of statism including ligislatil measures which would seal either prices or wages fur thermore stabilization of prices and wages can definitely bo obtained if wag negotiations arc conducted on an overall ownership and union level to this end we suggest that prior to the engagement of a gov ernment conciliatory officer in any industrial wage dispute one repre sentative of overall own and u ruuimientatlve of overall labor ny ana t wage decreases dur- hjaudajbitralfijtlie

in arbitrating the wagedemands of textile workers whose housing and food costs had increased thereby necessitating higher pay to meet the advanced costs progressively as such an arbiter representing overall labour moved from group to group he wouw flnonit impos sible to argue in favour of wage increases because he personally would have been responsible for the cause which necessitated such higher wages turning now frohi this preserrt inflationary period to that of the 3enaffonary sycle which surely will follow a reverse procedure would apply the overal ownership representativfe would then have
