Clinton News-Record, 1963-08-22, Page 10Page 1O --Clinton. News-Recaird--Thars., g. gz 1963 A Matter of Pr incip e (BY J,. CARL BEMINGWAY) .Just recently I was listening to a radio program which was promoting the sale of a certain food product. The punch line in the sales pitch was "Buy X and it will help cut your high food costs." Perhaps it is remarks like this that are responsible for my lack of hair. In the first place it is false. Food costs in Canada are not high. Fewer hours of labour are required in 'Canada to pro- cure a bountiful food, supply than any place in the world. In the second place it was a lousy sales script. Did you ever hear: "Buy Texaco and cut your high gasoline costs," "Buy a Corvair instead of a Buick and cut your high car costs", "Buy a TV and cut your high entertainment costs". I think not.. Any advertising script writer who created such a boo - boo for any of the above mention- ed products would be promptly shot at sun-clown. He might at least take comfort in know- ing that he would not see the sun-rise on his blunder. What do other products ad- vertise? "Travel farther with Texaco". "No carborator icing' with ESSO"; "Octane to match your car with Sunoco"; "Drive a Corvair! the best of the com- pacts"; "Buy a TV for news education and entertainment." Why isn't food advertised in the same way? "Use dairy products for good teeth, strong bones, and a healthy body. Dairy foods are least affected by strontium ninety." "Buy beef-steak for protein"; "Bacon and eggs for break- fast. It is your most important meal", or "apples and tomat- oes or their juices will provide you with minerals and vita- Mins." Perhaps the reason for the poor quality of food advert,is- ing so many times is because producers have nothing to do with the merchandising of their product. Farmers can do little in sel- ling their product since it is not in a form which the con- sumer wants. Most farm pro- ducts must be processed and at this point pass into the hands of a processor who is only interested in the differ- ence between what he pays and what he gets. Consumers have to eat. If nobody bothers to promote top quality they will still buy the product and will be encouraged to buy the type of product that provides the best returns to the handler. How much money is spent on advertising certain types of food because they are easy to prepare? Whether it provides nourish- ing food for your family or not is not mentioned. Oh yes! You must retain your, girlish figure. Fat people eat; therefore, we conclude that eating is the villain. How- ever, •balanced meals plus a sensible amount of exercise will never lead to obesity. There is no need to limit lunch to a "coke" a bag of potato chips and a couple of cigarettes. This• isn't even cheap. This lunch will cost about 23 cents. Yet teenage camps can supply three meals and a snack a day for less than a dollar. We are what we eat! When you build a house you use the best materials possible. Does your body rate anything less? Married hi Varna Church Pictured above are Mr. and Mrs. Francis Ed- win Hunt, who recently exchanged wedding vows in Varna United Church.

Lengthy Reach . . , But -He Was Still A Loser Lion Antoine "Red" Garon, left, may have had some feelings of appre, hension when he told this young competitor he could lean over as far as he wished, as long. as his feet stayed on the ground. However, despite the short distance, the rings just wouldn't encircle any of that silver on the table. Despite cold weather, the Lions report a fair scccess with their annual street frolic stag- ed Thursday.

But almost everything else can, and the wise buyer knows that every dollar spent on Canadian goods keeps Canadians working. To keep our economy strong, to make better job opportunities, to create jobs for those young people coming on to the labour market, we' all must be "label conscious." Before you buy, look at the label. If the price, design and quality are right, buy the product that is made here. If each of-us could divert just $2.00 a week from imported to do• mestie goods, the result could total $600,000,000 in Canada in one year! And that could help create 60,000 new jobs ! Buy a hippo if you must, but for almost everything else, check the label before you buy, It's in your own best interest. You help yourself, your neighbour and the whole province by giving Canadian products the oppor- tuthty to Serve and satisfy you.
