Jan. 25, 1938 W. E. OTTO Foreign Candy Worth $838,917 is Imported and Sold in Canada s Juliets have a very "sweet tooth" If the consumption of candy in Canada is any criterion and their Romeos apparently take pains to satisfy the craving for, in the twelve months ending October 1937, in Imported confectionery alone, the substantial total of $837,917 was spent. The children, whose passion for candy Is stronger than their intrest in homework, for example, are also generous buyers of the toothsome morsels which come from abroad, and, according to the National Produced in Canada Association, in a satement released today, the Romeos and the children could, with their parents, do their own country a service by showing more preference for candies which are produced in Canada. "Canadian men and women are em- ployed in mlaking candy, just the same as they are in producing other goods, and when we spend more than three-quarters of a million dollars' on candy alone, in foreign countries, it means that there is a lower demand for the confectionery that is produced in the Dominion. Auomatically, with a lower demand, there is less call for the swvices of our own people. And it is the fathers and mothers who eventually are affected by the spending haibibs of their children or their sons who are very much concerned with future plans for marriage and the noble experiment in which two try to live as cheaply as one." "Drive more safely in 1938" is a resolution every automobile owner might well make for this year. Cobourg Presbyterial W. M. S.
