e farmer
receives only 45a ofeach food
dollar spent by eonsunierrs, • It
varies greatly withthe product.
Packaging, processing, transpor-
tation, wages and retailers pro-
fit greatly increase the cost. Last
Year the farmer received 75e
from each $1 spent, on, eggs, but
only 15e from each dollar a eat
on bread. Question was: How
have your buying habits for food
changed in ,the 'last ten years, •

purchased in small packages_
This is convenient for store
keepers and city housewife who
has not storage space or money
for larger quantities. But fre-
quently the farmer'swife would
prefer the old system, Rolled
oats and brown sugar are two
items which have become much
more expensive since sold in
small packages.. We now 'pur-
chase a greater variety of foods,
citrus fruit, fruit juice, celery
and lettuce out of season. Most
farmers now buy their bread and:
buttes' which, most did not de
ten years ago.

farmeradjust himself to the new
trend in consumer buying, If in-

people could be procured by the
farmers for a co-op to grade,
process and package foods fora
community, the overhead ex-
penses might be lowered and
farmers receive a greater share
of the consumer dollar. Most

THE TELEPHONE IS ESSENTIAL TO A COMMUNITY'S
SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND
Cblef of Police dodoes
Brockville's popular chief knows from experience the
tremendous reassurance people feel, just knowing that
any hour of the day or night they can depend an the
telephone in case of need. '
You may never have to call the police. Yet the fact
remains that you and your family feel more secure
— rife more secure— because of your telephone.
Peace of mind is an extra value that is part of your
telephone service; a value that cannot be measured.
