-It is strange how frequently the
,needs of one community are felt in
„other towns at the same time. While,
Wingham citizens are taking action
'*.fO *provide a swimming' pool, exactly
thet.same steps are being taken in
.!bOth Exeter and Walkerton: It' • • appears likely that both these toWns,
Will proceed along lines similar.. to.i.
,thoselaicl out in-Wingham.
There has been a great deal of
talk in, Wingham about the need for
rnote industry, so that there will be
entploymeitt for more people and a .
...,higher wage rate. Let us not fool
ourselves ... such indications of pro-
gress as modern schools 'and hos-
pitals--yes, even swimming pools,
have a great bearing on the opinion
: of industrialists when locations for
industrial expansion s are being se-
lected. If our community. fails to
develop along with "its neighbours it
Will soon become just one more
backwoods corner.

The national distribution is car-
ried out through the Dominion and
Provincial Commands of the Legion
and its more' than 2,000 branches
which are charged with the, duty of
carrying the Message of the Poppy
to all sections, classes and c?mmn-
ities throughout the country.
With this threefold significance,
each item in itself being important:
and extremely worthwhile, Poppy
Day again makes its appeal to the
patriotic peopie,of Canada. Its sue:
cess, however, depends not only on
the generosity, of our citizens but
also on the competence and vigour
with which it is organized. and con-
ducted by Legion branches. 11.4 is
done.conscientiously and well by
every branch of the Canadian Le-

the most successful iiT the history of

ASSURANCE OF
DISAPPOINTMENT
Within the past few weeks mail-

logues have reached this town, offer

prices on everything from expensive
jewellery to luggage and home
appliances. The system used is to
illustrate, very attractive .looking
merchandise, list what are supposed
to be stiff retail prices, and'` then in-
dicate the sizeable reductions which•
are Made by buying at a wholesale
figure.
AS far as we can see the whole
setup is just another method of ex-
tracting. a fast buck from the tm-
wary and gullible customer. We had
reports 'from a few, a very feW
peoPle who bought from these con:
cerns and 'were satisfied - with the
value received.. But ... we have also
contacted a great moye, who
felt 'they were taken in 'one way or
another.
Several who have ordered from
the "wholesalers" did not receive the
• goods' ordered at all. Substitutions
Were made, replacements. which did
not resemble in any way the articles
ordered.. Again several would-be.
Customers placed orders well in ad-
vance of the Christmas season, ex-
pecting to use the items' as gifts.
Many of these people found that
Christmas Eve had rolled around
and nothing had arrived.
The expensively printed c.ata-
logues, of course, replace what the
reliable local merchant must. invest
in-L-Stock and trade. Because you
have looked at a collection of pic-
tures does not necessarilyniean that
the firm ,has the illustrated 'articles
On its shelves. Even if they are in
stock they may not be insufficient
quantity to guarantee delivery when
it needed.
We haven't too much sympathy
for the buyer who gets-himself taken
on this sort of deal. Most, adults
I'Vith any common sense know that
When they are offered something .at
astonishingly low price they can ex-
pect pretty low grade service and
quality. The safeSt place to buy is
from the mail 'who does bitsiness
right in your own town. He will be
right there to listen to your com-
plaints if the Merchandise does not
suit you. In fact the safest of all
plaCes to buy are those who use a
regular and reliable medium of ad-
vertising, When they invite you r
business they must, of sheer neces-
sity, protect their advertising' ex-
penditurcS with sound, business prac-
flees.
The Remembrance Day season is
again approaching, and it is appro-

Oil One of the important activities of
the Canadian Legion — the Nation-
al Poppy Campaign,
This November it will be 37 years
since the custom of wearing a poppy,
replica for remembrance was in-
augurated in. Canada, 1,1"rom the
modest beginning in 1921, the ellS°

the country,: and this year — with
careful preparation and planning by
Legion branches everywhere — sev-
eral million Canadians will be wear-
ing the familiar symbol, Remem-
brance and the Poppy are irrev-
ocably bound, with each other be-
cause the memory of Canada's Fal-
len can best be honoured by ensuring
that .none of their comrades Still

the' one •arinual appeal which the Ca-
nadian Legion makes to the public
in ;ol=der to provide funds for the
relief of necessitous war veterans

graves of Canadian soldiers who,
Sleep in Flanders Fields. The Wear-
rngof the poppy is a tribute to thoSe
i;yho paid, the supreme sacr•ifice in all .• 4 wats in which this country has been
engaged.
Second, there is the use to which
pie Money raised by the PopPy Cam-
paign is put. Across the length •and
breadth of Canada' thousands of
families not entitled to Government ••
assistance are being given a'helping
