With Adrian Vos
Don't get angry if a farmer is
driving his equipment on the road
and you have to slow down until the
road is clear for you to pass. If he
pulls off onto the shoulder of The
road to let you by, he may have to
pay a fine if an over -zealous police-
man sees it. A friend of mine was
recently fined $30 for doing so. He
is only allowed to pull onto the
shoulder if he stops. Remember
that he is working and you are most
likely on your own time. '

Several reports have come out in
the last eight years on the cause of
food costs; what they • are. One of
the reasons cited time and again is
the proliferation of supermarkets.
Not much of this is reported in the
press, for a supermart in the
neighbourhood is popular. It
makes , sense that if you build "twci.
stores almost side by side that they
can compete only onthe basis of
their cost. Within these limits it
appears that the customer will
profit by cut-throat competition.
Not so, for the extra unnecessary
building will have to be paid for
and it is the customer who does the
paying. The store can claim 'low
profits, but this is his own fault for
being too greedy. He draws
customers away • from the other
store so their profits will be lower
too. In order to maintain their
profits, prices will be higher in the
long run, not lower' as a superficial
appraisal may suggest. The
Canadian west had some exper-
ience where a large American chain
moved into every place where there
were customers, cutting prices only
in those neighbourhoods where
other stores were operating. When
the other stores gave up, the price
