PAGE FOUR THE DRYDEN OBSERVER _ SEPTEMBER 15th, 1933, SAFEGUARDING THE CONSUMER "Success of the Ne mer ican recovery program depends ultimately on the consumer. Tt 'takes (rio. profound understanding of economics to pre- dict that unless the: increase of pro duction, now being. fostered, is fol- lowed by an increase of buying, the business situation' » in the United States will be uhimproved, to say the least. TS But, while thé consumer is, in Brig.-Gen. Hugh: S. Johnson's own words, "The oné person Who will decide the success of this great ex- periment," it does not follow that responsibility for this success rests entirely on the consumer's shoulders. . Millions of consumers would be eager customers if only they had sufficient funds to care for their needs. Mil- lions more would join the buyers' parade if they were reasonably cer- tain that their patriotism would not be exploited by profiteers. The necessity of guaranteeing pro- tection to the consumer is receiving more and more attention. And what may become a vigorous movement toward this end is torecast in a de- mand made last" week by the con- sumers advisory'. board of the Re- covery Administration: As a part of the hearings on codes, representatives of the in- dustries affected should be called upon to give such cost and price information as may be necessary as a bench mark in the check- ing of price increases under the code. A couple of days earlier Senator William E. Borah said. © I venture to say that the Gov- "ernment will soon be facing .the ~ proposition of price fixing. In no "other way can the masses be protected. . . . There is no doubt that gouging has already been undertaken in some places. Of course, it may be expected that the Government will make every ef- fort to avoid entering upon a price- fixing campaign. But there seems every likelihood that, if such a policy should seem necessary in the inter- ests of recovery, the Government in carrying it out would have 'much the same popular support it has. so far enjoyed. How far government must onter into busines will depend on how far business is ready to go to serve its own best self-interest as well ag the Interest of the entire country. One lesson Samer to have been learned from the depression is #that industrial properity cannot be based securely on business methods which foster an ever increasing spread be- tween production costs and selling prices. One of the chief causes of business difficulties today is that prices to consumers--who - age mostiv wage earners--so far outstripped production :costs--which are the source of wages--that it became at last impossible to buy the products of industry. - It 'is fairly certain that any price increases in the next few: months which exceed increases in production costs will fail to perform their usual function of stimulating a business upturn. Indeed, it is more than probable that they will have just the opposite effect. The signs of organized effort to protect the consumer therefore are encouraging to friends of the recov- ery program. But even lacking or- ganized protection, the consumer no doubt will take steps individually to protect himself. These steps may hinder the upswing seriously, or perhaps so slightly as not to be noticed, depending are negative or positive in character. Boycott might be a remedy, of a sort, for profiteering. But active support of those business men who are abiding by the legal and moral demands of their codes. will be a better one. : One thing is safe to pre dict. That is, that neither the Administration nor the American public, which is so heartily ~ in sympathy with :govern- ment efforts to better the country's economic condition, will allow the recovery program to founder in a wave of profiteering. x --~Christian Science Monitor, on whether they] A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE™ INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA "GOING - GOING -- "Top off, half gone, the fairy-tale about the howl of cream might be cribe what is occurring to diphtheria, at least lightened communities. A few years ago, it was proclaimed that diphtheria could be prevented: today we say that diphtheria is be- ing prevented and that, in a number of places, it has actually been ban- ished. : This is one of the most remarkable achievements of our age. For centuries, all gone" of cat and the used to des- with regard in most en- diphtheria was a menace to child life, taking a heavy toll year after year. Then came diphtheria anti- toxin, one of the great discoveries of the latter part of the past century. Antitoxin saves life, when it is given at the onset of the disease, its use has preserved many thousands of lives. In spite of the benefits of antitoxin, deaths continued to occur because, for one reason or another, there was delay in its use. Furthermore, anti- toxin could not control the spread of diphtheria. Then came the great discovery 'that, through the use of a new sub- stance, diphtheria toxoid, diphtheria could actually be prevented. This meant that children could actually be protected and that parents need no longer fear that their little omnes would contract diphtheria. This prevention is not a theory. It is a well-tried, practical method. Thousands of Canadian children have been immunized against diphtheria. They have received the necessary in- jections of toxoid and, as a result, their bodies are capable of overcom- ing any diphtheria germs with which they may come in contact. For parents, -the important points to know are, first, that it is only the children who have been immunized who are protected. Unless your child is one of these, then your child is still being exposed to all the dan- gers of diphtheria. The second point is that diphtheria occurs most commonly and is most fatal during the life. This means that children should be immunized before they are one year old, as otherwise they may con- tract the disease. To delay means taking a chance for. which there is no justification. To act promptly gives your child the protection to which he has a right, and ensures that he will pass through his -early childhood unharmed by diphtheria. "| Do not delay; lose no time; act now!

Increasing prosperity in Can- ada and the United States is seen in the early arrival in the Do- minion of United States Christmas tree buyers. They are particularly busy in the Maritimes where the demand is especially heavy. Edward C. Carter, of New York, traveller and publicist, has been chosen to fill the newly-created post of secretary-general of the Institute of Pacific Relations which has just completed its fifth biennial conference at the Banff Springs Hotel. Eleven happy boys took the eleventh annual "On to Alaska" tour this year under the leader- ship of George E. Buchanan, of Detroit. Their trip included a stop at the Banff Springs Hotel where the boys stayed until they entrained for Lake Louise. Traffic earnings of the Can- adian railways for July show an aggregate gain of nearly a million doilars as compared with July, 1932, the best showing in many months on similar comparisons. Gross earnings of the Canadian Pacific account for $473,000 of this gain during the month. "He got you that time," said Mrs. Montagu Norman to the gov- ernor of the Bank of Englnad, when they landed recently at Que- bec from Canadian Pacific liner, Duchess of Atholl, on their way to Bar Harbor, Maine. The pur- pose of the visit is a mystery, not even a holiday being admitted by the distinguished visitor. John Nelson, president of Ro- tary International, sailed recently by Empress of Britain on his way to Lausanne where the second European regional conference of the world-wide organization was held this month. He stated that Rotary. had 150,000 members in 300 clubs. "If from the conferences, speeches and exhibitions at the World's Grain Exhibition at Re- gina we can derive even one sus- gestion of importance to agricul- turists, the show will be voted a success," said BE. S. McRory, man- ager, United Grain Growers office in Calgary, in a recent address at the Palliser Hotel in that ctiy.

George H. Challies, provincial secretary. Special provisions are made for deer and moose hunters, permitting them to shoot partridge for six days of the hunting season. North of the Canadian National railways and between that railway and the Canadian Pacific railway, the special season for hunter will be from October 20th to 25th; between | the C.P.R. and the French river from November 1st to 6th and south of the French river from November 6th to. 10th. FASTER TRAIN TRAVEL TO THE PACIFIC COAST Summer time tables for the trans- continental services of the Canadian National Railways show reductions in both directions between Montreal and Vancouver. From Montreal to Vancouver, a distance of 2,929 miles, the total elapsed time allowed is 89 hours 5 minutes. In the reverse direction, from the Coast to Montreal, the time required is 86 hours 45 minutes. The "Continental Limited,' which performs this service, is a very heavy train of all-steel equip- including sleeping car equip- ment of three classes, day coaches, dining car, lunch counter and an observation lounge car. It is neces- sary to allow time for changes at certain points, for instance, dining cars are changed three times during the journey so as to provide spot- less equipment and fresh supplies Then, too, all coaches are cleaned at certain stopping points and supplies of water are taken on. water tanks is a feature of sleeping and dining car design, which greatly adds to the weight, such units weighing about 80 tons. The sleep- ing cars make the through run but as fresh linen must be provided for each occupancy, used pieces are col- lected, packed and exchanged for clean material at various points. There are also changes of loco- motives.
