Buy Northern Campaign Launched by the NODA The Northeastern Ontario De- velopment Association has- backed the 'Buy Northern' resolution, pre- sented earlier itthis month by di- rector W. Roy Thompson of Kirk- land-and District Chamber-of-Com- merce, at a convention. of North- ern. Ontario Association Chambers of Commerce in Timmins. 'Buy Northern' resolution has now become a 'Buy Northern' campaign, which seeks to persuade more local buying, so as to create jobs in Northern Ontario. The campaign will effect fifty towns, members of NODA: Greater employment, and the quest for more secondary indus- tries for northern towns and other communities, are foremost in the objectives outlined by NODA, New Liskeard Mayor W. J: Barr, president of NODA, said that-there are four purposes behind the Buy Northern campaign. It is hoped, firstly, that those products already being manufac- tured or produced in Northern On- tario will be brought to everybody's attention. The second 'purpose is to spot- light those products not presently manufactured in Northern Ontario, but which. might be, with proper encouragement to the industry con- cerned. Mayor Barr said that among other things, "proper encourage ment" means "loyalty to the people Blitz The Children' s Aid So- ciety will hold its 'annual. cam- paign in Englehart and. the - Tri-Town areas during. the first. two weeks of November.

King -- will be in charge of the Engle-_ hart campaign. Mrs. Lloyd - Dickenson | paign manager. is the local cam- | who produce goods comparable to any brought in from the South". It. is this loyalty, he pointed out, which can make or break any at- tempt by Northern producers and manufacturers --to. -sell_ their. pro- ducts in the North. 'Continuing the objectives of NO- DO for backing the Buy Northern resolution, Mayor Barr said the third -one was to "spotlight 'the many good retail merchants in Northern Ontario". These merchants, he added, sup- port the various communities and also support products manufactur- ed in Northern Ontario. The fourth, and perhaps the most significant as far as making the North known outside the' North, is to "'draw attention to the-fact that Northern Ontario is indeed an eco- nomic unit", "Northern Ontario offers a suit- able climate for more secondary industries', he maintained. NODA has listed the producers of goods and manufacturers in all the 50 communities which com- prise the association, machinery manufacturers, bottling works and others have been included.
