—Retail stores are expecting that the

year's tax payable will come as a tax
refund when wage earners file their 1971
returns.
Retailers -seem convincedthat
xpectations of bigger pay packets next
year will restore glitter to a Christmas
ales outlook despite the fact that
President Richard Nixon has taken steps
to invigorate the US economy end
Canada's worsening jobless" rate. At least
that's what The Financial Post says.
Two of the.country's largest national
retailers - T. Eaton Company', and ,
Simpsons Ltd. - are expecting 'a 10.
percent gain in sales this Christmas
compared with last. And Simpsons -Sears
Ltd. second-largest combined• department
store and catalogue merchandiser in
Canada, after " Eaton's, expects an
improvement of "better than seven
percent."
All kinds of interesting things
have been going on since this
column was last written, not the
° least of them Carlow's Christmas
Country Fair:
I don't know whether I'm
'Sieving up in my old age or just

Last Christmas was not a disaiterbut it -
was a disappointment to retailers, The
"Financial, Post reports. Each year for 10
years, until Christmas 1970, retailers had
,poste La ten- Prce,m,zale .. year -to
year. .The bloom disappeared in 1970,
when most were hard put to show a five
percent gain. and 'some did' no better than
.to match the 1969 sales performance.
Some of the hot items expected to
move well this Christmas are home
furnishings; "sporting goods, men's and
women's clothing and smalt colored
kitchen appliances. The bicycle boom
should continue with the most popular
10 -speed racers probably in short supply.
The Financial- Post doesn't usually
make loose predictions, Can' we surmise,
therefore, that the federal goyernn'ient's
measures to combat, unemployment are
considered more effective by the business
community than the ordinary
man -in -the -street expected ey word

being too optomistic?

more interest. There is still room

when I run into people like the
gal I was talking to one night a •
Week or so 40. She Was telling
me that when the cost •of the
Signal—Star was 15 cents, she
thought that was too . much to
spend, but now that the
newspaper costs 20 cents per
copy, that was definitely "too
much for that rag",
You know, the folks who
work at this newspaper take
great pride in the product we

you think the newspaper s1to s

from time to time take abuse
