Fri evenings d Crossroads—June 8, 1983—Page 7 Mainstream Canada A , ostaI shaft for small papers By W. RogerWerth Canada Post President Michael Warren and his fel- low executives should be ashamed of themselves. The reason: Canada Post has made the brash decision to openly participate in com- petition with the nation's smaller newspapers, acting as a catalyst for local mer- chants to put together throw- away advertising flyers to be delivered by the posties along with other junk mail. Canada Post believes it can earn money on the scheme. There's little won- der. Here we have highly paid postal employees pro- moting advertising ventures that compete directly with other media in the real busi- ness world. Yet Warren's employees are directly subsidized by government to the tune of $400 to $500 million per year, consumers and businesses pay 32 cents to have a first • class letter delivered (com- pared with 25 cents in the United States) and Canada Post's monf'tooly on the mail continues. What's worse, worse, it's the smallest papers that will be hardest hit. They will lose some of the cash spent by local merchants to purchase advertising in the flyers. And that's why Warren, a -big city boy who earns wefl over $150,000 per year, should be ashamed. He simply doesn't under- stand the nature of smaller newspapers, the people who run them and the integral role they play in the com- munity. Like the church, the Legion and the civic centre, the community paper is part .and parcel of a town's identity, providing life and vitality. as well as being a ' medium for individual give and take on important issues affecting.tp area. Comm unit ..newspapers Y also play a large role in local activities, not only dispens- ing information, but spear- heading everything from minor hockey tournaments to the latest voluntaryfund raising effort. Closing the paper is akin to ' closing the school. A very real loss would be felt by lo- cal residents. • Canada Post's Warren should also consider the peo- ple who run the nation's smaller newspapers when he attempts to grab their revenue by using govern- ment -subsidized staff. For many of the editors and pub- lishers, the paper is more a la liarf o love than a money- making venture. In fact, some publishers might feel lucky to earn the $23,000 per year paid to letter carriers. Canada Post also has a po- tential conflict in this situa- tion The organization has the capacity to slow Gown mailed weekly newspapers, while speeding up handling of the competing advertising flyers. it should be noted that, in most cases. local post- masters (,or postmistresses) are simply following orders when they get involved in the scheme. So what to do" Warren should immediate- ly issue a pointed statement indicating his employees will no longer participate in such ventures. Local merchants should pass up the opportun- ity to advertise in the flyers. And subscribers who feel strongly about the issue should have a chat with their local member of Perlia ment, pointing out the unfairness of the situation. A final note, Michael War- ren wasn't available when representatives of the Cana- dian Community Newspaper Association met with post office executives to complain about the issue. He should be "ashamed. TERRY SPROUL CONSTRUCTION Asphalt Shingling Old or New Buildings In Business over 10 years Free Estimates CALL EVENINGS: Brussels 887-6185
