TORONTO ON JULY .1iTD ABOUT BUYING AT, X-IOME This apex has frequently, emphasiz,• ed the buy -at-home slogan, convinced that generally speaking,.: for service, qual-.- •ity, : value ,and: credit,: accoxnodation, ,you can: de no better than to patronize your home town. merchant. Many of these. merchant's .render much in community service and contribute gen- erousiy ,to, every worthwhile cause. --+ and, on occasion, ' to some the merit of which may be dubious. But there are other aspects. Is the Merchant doing all he can, :.or should, to encourage home purchasing.. For instance, the buying public could only guess at what pen hours Lucknow merchants were :ob i§erving on. the Thursday prior to the July 1st 'holiday. > :. A. minority " of the many business ; es- alilishnnents in, the . village are employing with regularity, .any medium of advertising to ''invite people to shop Lucknow... It' , is our ` contention that Lucknow' merchants are ' not each others opposition,. but rather thechief opposition comesfrom merchants in neighbouring towns and cities. who are as close as a spin in. today's fast. motor cars . ,• A shop -at-home campaign_ can only be most ' effective ; by a co-operative effort of village merchants to prove by good values 'and courteous service, that there is no, 'bet- ' ter or mote friendly `'place in which to shop, than Lucknow. The Business Men's Association should be a more active and potent force in the coznmunity. Their role should be more im- portant than just planning for the, visit of Santa Claus, or special . shopping hours.. There might ` be merit in -quarterly dinner, meetings for the discussion of retail' problems and they are many -: and for - the ' ,:consideration of how the small. town ; merchant can 'best serve the ,consurn er A CREDIT TO ' HIS PROFESSION,, The retirement of Mr.'s P. W, • Hoag, as principal of• the, Lucknow District High SchooL brings to an end a teaching career„ that has been: marked by a .devotion to ° his calling,. and an. idealism that was ,the. more effectively, impressed upon his. Stu . - dents by, his exemplary conduct and .ex- .ample. x-.ample.Mr... Hoag was, a credit . to his pro-, fess*on. °:: . It has been truly said that his retire- , ment marks the end of an era; for it was during Mr. Hoag's• principalship that the. Lucknow 'High' School District was formed, culminatingin the construction of :a new and modern school. Hir—d pasture' from the scene, leaves Mrs. Laurel Hewitt as the. last member.:of the original staff when the new school opened 'in the fall of .1953. Mr. • and Mrs, Hoag have 'both been the type 'of citizen of which any community could well be 'proud. Church, civic and fra- ternal organizations . have benefited by their association and leadership. We in Luck now would, be. happy to claim them as -our' own, but whenever aridwherever they may decide t� locate,. go the best wishes of a hosts . of friends that: they may long be ,spared to enjpy a :full more leisurely life, which; has been so: well earned. ive and ' progressive business group, should,, We 'think, ;treceive priority in the many civic activities in which many :busi- ness then become involved, to - the point. of neglecting their .=own business: And, ' we might add, Shop -at home applies to the business man himself, as well as any: one . else. Those who -advocate and expound • the. principal 'should practice it. FARM SAFETY WEEK There..are; few weeks , in the year - that are not .now designed to focus special .at- tention , on something or other, until at times it seems overdone to a point, of min- imizing the effectiveness The week. •ofY Jul 24th to 30th has been proclaimed as Canadian Farm Safety, Week and the concern 'over, the increase in - farm :accidents and .fatalities makes it imperative to • constantly warn the rural worker of these unpleasant . statistics. • The 'mounting ' accident rate`' is in dir- ect relations to /farm' mechanization,'. but while this has done rinuch to lighten farm labour, ,it '.is, costing :too .much in life and limb. Recent surveys'' indicate that the ac- cident death ` rate of ,farm • workers is higher than. in : all ; other forms of industry. July ' is the worst month for farm ac- cidents, and thus Farm' Safety :Week is observed at this , time :of year,` butfarm safety consciousness is something that need, be.. kept . in mind the, year around. , WED AT ST. ...' .'
