What is the correct course of action when one is the victim of a disservice in-store-office-garage-repair shop or place of entertainment, or-utility-transport company or their representatives. What should one do when short-changed over over-charged - when quality, price, service, delivery or payment arrangements are not as advertised - when obvious discourtesy-ineffiency-carelessness-delay-discrimination or neglect is encountered? When one does kick, one feels like a heel, perhaps most of all when the complaint is met with sincere apology and rectification. A firm policy of "complaining when gypped", seems to brand us as chronic grouchers or kicker. On the other hand are we really wise to adopt consistently the roles of Casper Milquetoast or Walter Mitty? Doormat simply ask to be walked upon. Submitting without complaint to disservice we encourage its being rendered to others, conniving at making inefficiency, dishonesty and discourtesy the common conditions under which business and industry are operated. UNEMPLOYMENT ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ The prospects of 1970 being another banner year for Quinte Exhibition are excellent because the entries for the big annual five day-showcase continue to pile up in the office much earlier than other years. Ex manager E.C. Gowsell reported to the Belleville Agricultural Society's June general meeting. The Society sponsors the Exhibition (formerly the Belleville Fair) in operation this year from August 18 through to August 22. The amount of prize money being made available to agricultural exhibitors exceeds $40,000. As usual horses, cattle, poultry, grains and fruits along with items fashioned by hobbyists are being brought in for showing mainly by residents living within a 50 mile radius of the city. The challenge for Quinte Exhibition management this year includes a new innovation for exhibitions to serve as the communications link between the producer and consumer who outnumbers the former nine to one. Sure to be a feature of the beef cattle division ■ will be the entry of an imported French breed named Charolais. So far Canadian farm experts have learned the foreign animals are adaptable for cross-breeding, develop faster and produce a better quality meat that most domestic cattle. Producers of the Exhibition expect a favorable reaction from the horse jumping events being introduced to the show ring area in front of the grandstand this year for the first time. Again the curtain will be rung down on the Class A agricultural show in spectacular fashion. The custom is for horse racing fans to jam the stands to watch the most exciting Saturday night card of the season. The feature race, advertising a purse of $3,000 was operated until this year as the Black Diamond stake race. It is being run for the first time as the Greenleaf Memorial co-sponsored by the Joss family and Quinte Exhibition. Rotary Walk-a-thon WALKERS! Please collect your pledges and take to HARNDEN'S JEWELLERY as soon as possible. Thank You General unemployment is the area is on the rise over other years according to figures given by the Canada Manpower Centre last week. At the end of May the office had registered 903 male unemployed and 591 female unemployed. The majority of unemployed persons are factory workers numbering 550; there are 225 unemployed sales and office clerks and 200 unemployed construction workers. Tom Cox of the Manpower Centre said, "We have not had anv mass layoffs yet and our figures are down from the month of April." However, the office normally places up to 600 people in jobs during the month of May and only 169 were placed this year. The lack of construction, light demand for factory workers and the 40 percent cutback in tobacco acreage has reduced labour demands.
