MPP Huron-Middlesex
The controversial question
of computer pricing in
supermarkets has been very
much in the news recently.
Just last week two major
Toronto newspapers
spotlighted the issue, one in a
special column, the other in
an editorial.
Computer pricing is
already in the supermarkets.
Some stores are ex-
perimenting with the system
by showing the prices on the
shelves only. At the cash-out
desk, the computer scanner
reads the prices which are
shown in computer code only
on the goods being bought.
My colleague, Bernard
Newman (Liberal MPP for
Windsor-Walkerville) has
proposed aq' simple amend-
ment to Ontario's Consumer
Protection Act which states:
"No retail seller shall offer
for sale a product that is
marked with a computer
code unless the individual
purchase price of such
product is clearly expressed
on the product, its wrapper
or container."
This brief, but clearly
understood amendment, is,
all that is required by way of
legislation to put a stop to the
kind of difficulties which
might arise in the wake of
computer pricing. Similar
measures have been taken in
some U.S. states and in in-
dividual U.S. municipalities.
In fact, this clear-cut
amendment has been in-
troduced in the Ontario
Legislature on five different
occasions, ,between April
1977 and March 1980. On one
occasion in June 1978, it was
debated and received sup-
port from all those who
spoke. At that time, Mr.
Newman recorded support
from such large groups as
United Church Women and
labour unions,
He went as far back as
1977, when the then Minister
of Consumer and Com-
mercial' Relations (Sidney
Handleman) was quoted as
saying: "Over the last year
anda half my colleagues and
I have received literally
thousands of com-
munications ranging from
expressions of mild concern
to outright alarm over any
suggestion to remove in-
dividual pricing."
When introducing his
Private Member's Bill, Mr.
Newman said he had
proposed such legislation "in
response to the concerns of
many consumers, especially
senior citizens and others on
fixed, incomes, and union
members, who have formed
a caoalition with the express
purpose of doing whatever is
possible to ensure that in-
dividual prices remain on
products in stores using the
U .P .0 ."
He stated at the outset that
he was not opposed to the
principle of computerizing
"check out" in the super-
Market. ,His entire interest
was in the fact that the
consumer might not have the
opportunity for comparison
shopping.
As he pointed out at that
time, for some years the
increasing concentration of
the retail food business into
fewer and fewer bands, the
,increasing size of food
stores, the increasing
number of check-out
counters and the longer and
longer check-out lines had
led naturally to the retail
industry seeking a way for
automation to speed up the
check-out time of the in-
dividual shopper.
In this new electronic age,
with the advent of the laser
beam and scanning devices,
and the development of
product identity codes, a
Way to speed up check-out
was finally devised. The new
method of the UPC - the
Universal Product Code -
finally reached the market.
But as this occurred, the
retailer assumed that the
universal product code was
Code is, of course, the
symbol on boxes, cans or
jars represented by 10
numbers afid a series of lines
and spaces. The first five
numbers represent the
company selling the product
and these numbers are
assigned to each company in
the United States and
Canada by a data bank. The
last five numbers are
selected by the manufac-
turer to represent a certain
product.
Each of the numbers in the
universal price code is
represented by two black
lines and two white spaces.
The scanner reads the width
of the lines and the width of
the spaces. It does not read
the numbers. There are no
prices on the UPC, universal
product code. This code only
identifies the manufadturer
and the item.
The . Consumers
Association of Canada has
pointed out that an error in
pricing cannot easily be
caught when computerized
pricing is used exclusively.
It is possible for prices to be
transposed - for cents to be
translated into dollars. '
Our provincial govern-
ment has =ducted a survey
of shopperC and has
discovered that something
like 90 percent of those
surveyed prefer that goods
be individually marked. In
the Province of Quebec,
there are laws to ensure that
this is the case. Bernard
Newman's proposed
amendment seeks to provide
similar protection to Ontario
consumers.

"Mastering our Moods"
was the theMe of the Rev.
Elwood Morden's sermon on
Sunday, morning at the
United Church. It was based
on. Job's experiences as
recorded in the third chapter
of that book.
Our moods can vary frem
bad, angry, fearful, anxious,
depressing, melancholy, to
good, They are not always
the same, and we must
recognize this. We must
learn to master our moods,
or they will master us, and
ruin our living. Certainly
several great figures of the
Bible, including Jesus,
Moses, Elijah and Paul were
subject to various moodS,
A second important step
incolved in mastering our
moods is closely related to
the first, We must learn to
believe in, and be guid6d by
our better moods and in-
sights. Finally we must
become interested in
something other than our-
selves, and this can be done
by our religious faith,
through our work, through
serving and helping others,
courage and our God given
intelligence, said Rev.
Morden. ' •
Flowers were placed in the
church in loving memory of
the late Newton Gunning by
his family.
At the Granton Com-
munity Bible Church, Ian
Service of London spoke on
"A 'Matter of Life and

Jesus' encounter with
Martha, was to strengthen
her faith and to glorify Jesus
Christ.
