Mr. Whitaker said an objective of $500, 000 has been set for the Metropolitan Toronto area with the balance to be raised throughout the remainder of the province. The campaign is sponsored by the Society in conjunction with 230 Easter Seal service clubs throughout Ontario. One half the funds raised by each club is retained by it for ser- vices and supplies for local needy handicapped youngsters. In this area, the campaign is conducted by the Zurich Lions Club. The balance of the funds are used by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children to supply such province -wide services as nursing (the Society has 37 specially -trained nurses in 21 regional offices throughout Ontario), travelling clinics of medical specialists, research into crippling disorders of children and the operation and maintenance of th e five summer camps owned by the Society.

WHEN FOLKS SHOP THERE THEY DON'T REGRET, FOR THEIR PR/CES ARE THE FA/REST YET at 1 SHOPPER'S " y Ill FRIEND Illialper's Supertest 262.9910 Hensall THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1970 The International Scene (by Raymond Canon) AIRLINE COMPETITION IS TOUGH More and more people are becoming aware of the air- plane as a means of travel, and although there are many things to be said in its favour, there are still enough annoy- ances so that at times you wonder if you shouldn't have gone by boat, train or car after all. However, since people seem to be more in a hurry these days, air travel, especially over -seas, is the way to go, and the airlines, recognizing this fact, are competing like mad for busi- ness. Complicating the whole picture is the fact that a number of non- scheduled airlines have entered the picture, most with overseas charter flights. The result is that the tourist has a wide variety of airlines to choose from, should he wish to go winging over the Atlantic or Pacific. The entry of the Non-schedul- ed onschedul- ed airlines into the passenger business is the really interesting factor these days. When they first started, most of them were using old piston -driven aircraft, and although they could undercut the prices of the established airlines, the flight was often an ordeal and the service almost non- existant. Not any more! Recently I was talking to Herb Turkheim of the Zurich Citizens News, and he was telling me about the trip which a charter group from Zurich made to Switzerland last fall. Not only did the company, a Canadian one by the way, use a modern jet, but the service both there and back was top notch - it couldn't be excelled by the scheduled airlines such as Air Canada. This is not to say that charter flights are as first rate, but for those who do supply such planes and service, is it any wonder that they can compete with the regular airlines. The situation has been made that much more favourable to these non-scheduled carriers due to the fact that there is a rather relaxed attitude these days as to what actually constitutes a charter group. Charter flights are attract- ing so many customers that the regular airlines have had to do more than sit up and take notice. Some of them are in the charter work themselves, but there is a limit to what they can handle. In their opinion the answer lies in part in lower fares to a larger number of people. Air Canada, just before Christmas thought that they had this problem licked. They had a new set of fares lined up which would make them much more competitive with the non-scheduled airlines, and would be open to any group of people whose only character- istic was that they all wanted to go to the same country. All Air Canada had to do was to find one national carrier in Europe which would agree to the same program. Talks were carried out with other airlines, and when Air Canada thought that something definite had been agreed , upon, the new fares were actually advertised and bookings made. It was then that the airlines in Europe got cold feet, and not one of them was willing to actually go along with the scheme. Air Canada was made to look awfully silly and had to drop the whole scheme, at least for the time being. With the advent of bigger and faster planes, there is a great deal of talk about fare reduction, but 1 for one don't believe it will amount to much. The cost of new aircraft which the airlines must meet in order to stay competitive is enormous to say the least, and most airlines are facing a profit squeeze. Pan American. which made close to 50 million dollars last year, actually lost 25 million this year. When the supersonic jets come into service, it is .going to cost even more to fly in one of them. For this reason the best bet, if you can manage it, is to join some group, and snake the best deal you can. You may have to change your plans a bit to fit in with those of the group, but the money you save will be well worth it. 0 KINETTE CLUB The Kinette Club of Hensall met at the home of Mrs. A. Scholl last Wednesday even- ing, with several guests present. Mrs. Jack Drysdale presented Mrs. Ken Pollock with a Minette pin and by- laws, and welcomed her into the club.
