This giving away of local rights and responsibilities to regional, provincial or even federal governments needs closer scrutiny than it's getting today. Anyone who thinks they're going to save money for themselves or their municipalities by going to larger authorities has got a lot to learn. Regional governments seldom get jobs done more cheaply than local goverments. Most likely the job will cost more. furthermore provinces operate on taxes and taxes are paid by you and me. So local people will pay for the jobs no matter who carries the responsibility. To assume the bigger goverment will do a better job than the local municipality is not necessarily true either. People far away generally do not understand local needs and local grievances, and may be too basy to look after them. There may be more highly educated people at the provincial level, but they are human,too, Today some local municipalities have a give-away attitude that if carried right up the line could lead to all control being vested in the Federal government. Townships are de- lighted if they can get the county to accept the responsi- bility for a road or a bridge. The county and city in turn try to pass along responsibility to the province. For ex- ample, there is a cry today that provincial governments should build local court houses and carry the cost of justice. Provinces try to do the same thing to the Federal government. Will no one accept his responsibility today? A specific example that bothers us is in the field of education. Some Ontario Federation of Agriculture members strongly support the idea that the province should take over all the responsibility of education in Ontario. Educ- ation imposes too heavy a financial burden locally, they say. (Actually the province already carries part of the burden by its generous local grants.) Now a community can haul the school board on the carpet if it doesn't like the way the school is operating. One does not haul provincial civil servants onto the carpet so easily. Once responsibility moves away from the local municipality it is lost forever, and at no gain financially or in effic- iency. Some acts before the Legislature at present are designed to speed the approach of regional goverment. These acts should be most carefully scrutinized by local municipalities. When we neglect our responsibilities, our freedoms and rights may dissolve. Let's make sure we don't give away our freedom of local self-government too lightly. (Prom FARMER'S ADVOCATE, June 12-26, 1965) WHAT IS ADVERTISING? Here's how Charles G. Mortimer, chairman of General Foods Corporation, explained the relationship of advertising to profits at a stockholders' meeting: 'Does advertising pay? It has to, or we could not continue to pay current dividends to you stockholders, nor increase-, the volume of present products and introduce new products to provide better profits and dividends in future years. Tee, I believe we do get our advertising expenditures back - and with a profit. 'Just Agox does advertising pay? It pays by developing such a large and dependable volume of sales that we can keep our plants running at high efficiency in terms of processes and machine operations. And E hardly need remind you of the im- portance of this, steadily increasing costs being what they are.' Perhaps it's better to think of advertising in terms of what it does, rather than what it is. I like the following concise statement in Economics for Business. This book is part of a home-study course prepared by Cornell University and the McGraw-Hill Book Company. 'Advertising performs important economic services. Advertising tries to make peo- ple ready to buy, that is to turn consumer wants into consumer demand. It informs people about new products and new styles, about the varieties and prices of goods.... Ad- vertising usually tries to direct consumer demand to choose one specific brand or product out of the many competing brands or products. Therefore, it is an important means of competition; and competition is essential in our economic system.'
