Huron (i:tyapteiu
speaker at university
AYLEY HILL
E. Cayley Hill, the Goderich
businessman who ac'coni,panied
Export Minister Pepin on his
recent mission to the„ People's
Republic of China, told a class •
of students and businessmen
Tuesday night that Canada needs
exports . to continue the
expansion of its economy.
Speaking to a session in
international marketing, a
seminar series at Waterloo
Lutheran University arranged by
Dr. Herman •Qvergaard, professor
of international business, Mr,'.
Hill Said:,
• "Canada needs 2,600;000
neW jobs in the 1970s.making it
crucial that Canada broaden its
economic goAls and diversity
into every feasible market in the
world. We cannot afford to rely
on only Qne market - be it the
U.S. or any other country., But
diversification provides, the,
necessary continuity and
stability .we .require when any
one market is disrupted," said
Hill.
The world-trayelling. Mr. Hill
is vice-president and ; ,general
manager Of the Dominion Road
'Machinery, Company, a firm that
operates from a small Ontario
'town but regards the. entire
world as its ' market. Mr. Hill
leaves within days on another
welling' rip in Europe.
Mr, Hill warned his listeners
that the proposed U.S. Domestic
International' Sales Corporation
,• (usually called DISC) could
become taw this fall -and will.
encourage more manufacturing
,for world trade within the
United_States at the expense of
Canadian firms.
"The advantage which DISC
will give U.S. exporters must be
counterbalanced by equally
realistic and hard-nosed policies
in ,Ottawa," sad' kill.
Specifically,' he added, where
. gov'ernment activities are
operating positively in • the
overall' improvement of the
Canadian business world - such
as In industry, trade And
commerce programs - they
should be continued and •
expanded.
As for the new labor
�egistatOrri -Mr.. Ht» was hopefut
that "business would get the
government to be a bit more
co-operative and • perhaps even
morerealistic in changing these ,
policies before they become
law."
He insisted that in a private
enterprise economic system,
such, . as exists . in Canada,
business and not government
should have the predominant
voice. , ,,,
"Only through better
business practices, better
policing of our own .activities,
can we bring the initiative back
where'.1t-belong,he. said.
"The only way this can
happen," he said, "was for the
individual businessman, as well
as business associations, to
improve their record, and insist
that they are, in fact, more
competent to manage their
,affairs than is `big government'."
"Industry must make itself_
heard and government should
listen," Hill said.
Turning .to..his specific topic
of ' financial planning for export,
the. Goderich businessman said
the ' financial part of any export
sales • program is highly
.amportant.since_.the..terri s.of.sale
are highly important to the
foreign buyer. If credit must be
offered, the exporter should
discuss the ' problem with his
bank and als `with the Export
ort o p
Development Corporation.
Another important „point is
the exporter's attitude toward • •
export pricing. In the world ,
market place frequently . goods
and services of equal quality are
available from a number of
sources. Canadian firms, to be
successful - and success means
jobs for Canadians - must look
carefully at their pricing
structure.
•
"Profits are - important , but
atteripts at•making a high profit,
or loading a price with excessive
overhead costs, could well 'be
fatal. There isa.no prize foraose•
who „come in second: •,The
successful bidder must be aware
in advance of the competition he.
faces," Hill•said.
Mr. Hill also told his listeners
that the department of trade and
commerce maintains 'abroad, a
highly efficient foreign trade
service, often regarded as the
best in the world. These men.,can
supply a tremendous quantity of
useful ' information about
specific market conditions:"
"Make your offer clear,
concise and couiplete - and
then get ot9 and sell,' - he
Concluded.
Knack with Knits
is workshop topic
because they are 'so
comfortable and easy to care
for, polyester double: knits have
become very popular in recent
years. If you are orae sewer,
it is likely. that one o these days
you wiIF- be- ,,raking--something-h.-
from fortrel, crimplene, trevira
or .,one of the other polyester
knits.
Since , knits resist wrinkles
they require little care and are
excellent travellers. Because they
stretch with body movements,
they are comfortable to wear4.
Knitted fabrics are now available
in a wide variety of fibres,
weights, patterns, colours and.
textures suitable for almost any'
type of clothing.
Sewing with knits is generally
simple aiid easy. However, there
are a few skills which can save
NIN+0,19
time •and produce " a better
looking garment. These tips are .,
being presented at three Training
Schools, "The Knack of Sewing
With Knits" being held in Grey
County by the Home Economics
Banc -h - of ....the _ Ontario

Food.
,Two volunteer leaders from
any worhen's group are invited
to attend a Training School in
PrMeaford .6r
