The WALLPAPER SHOP THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES *AGE TWO *.r•rr MEETING A DEMAND Many of us, particularly those in business, are prone to blame others for our failures or lack of success. If the public does not purchase our products or use our services we immediately jump to the conclusion that we are being discriminated against or else people just don't know what they want. We never stop to think that we might not be offering what the buying public wants. In other words we have failed to meet a demand. This is particularly true to-day, mainly because of the last world conflict which disrupted production so much that the public was glad to get anything, let alone exactly what they wanted. That time has passed, but unfortunately many of our merchants, manufacturers and yes, politicians, have not changed their way of thinking. They are not geared to the problems of to-day. Take the bus lines and railroads for instance. They are still operating on the premise that the travelling public is glad to get a ride no matter what the discom- forts—but they are wrong. There are too many incon- veniences to travel to-day. First a long wait in a dingy terminal, no information as to the proper place to line up, poor equipment and discourteous employees. Soon the public will quit riding buses unless absolutely necessary and the same goes for the railways. The public must be served and its demands met if any transportation or any other type of company is to flourish. The buying and paying public. is the goat. An in- stance is the present TTC strike. Thousands of people are suffering inconvenience and hardships to carry on with their daily life. Is it democratic that thousands suffer to meet the demands of a small group? The TTC employees may have their demands met but they will lose in the long run. They are taking with one hand bu7t the will have to pay with the other. Increased costs, public indignation and a loss of prestige are part of the price. When will we learn that nothing is gained by force? The public may seem to some to be an ogre but gen- erally this is not true. It does expect 'Service, however, and naturally expect value for its hard earned dollars. Most of all we have needs and if these needs are not met one place they will be filled elsewhere. Gauging this need is the task of those who attempt to serve the public. If we fail to do so we can blame no one but ourselyes. Published at Wingham, Ontario Wenger Brothers, Publishers, W.

A. $3,00 per year Foreign Rate $3.50 per year Advertising Rates on application Canadian-made cars cost no more thdn they did be- fore the war, in relation to general price levels. Canadian Automobile Manufacturers Association reports that be- tween 1939 and 1951 price of a new car in,lowest price field rose 90%. Cost-of-living index meanwhile rose 91%. Va.rnings of majority of industrial workers have more than doubled. Thus the Canadian indtistrial worker is better able to buy new car today than, he was before the war. Price increase on cars was held down to 90% In 1939- 51 period, despite fact that labor cost rose ,142%, mater- ials cost 128%, sales tax 138, and excise tax 7,300%. Sales and excise taxes now take 8499 on a low-priced car, where in 1939 they took just under $65. -The Letter 1Zeview,- WHAT THE MAIL BRINGS Every day, over our desk, flows a constant stream of publicity releases, news releases, general information, ad- vertising etc. Some contain valuable information; others just have an axe to grind. For example this week, we have in front of us ; a release from the CBC Press Service announcing a tele- vision course for 60 employees ; a bulletin from the Can- adian Chamber of Commerce discussing Free Enterprise; two releases. from the Department of Agriculture Infor- mation Service at Ottawa, one on "Suitable Shrubs for South-Western Ontario" and the other on the "Value of Manure"; a six page bulletin from the Health League of Canada containing National Health Week news; "The Outlook", by Gladstone Murray on Responsible Enter- prise; The Letter Review, a very fine commentary on na- tional and international affairs and a news release from the Atkinson Charitable Foundation announcing a 510,000 grant to test a new theory on multiple sclerosis. All of these,, plus dozens of others, flow across our desk every week and represent a lot of reading. Some find their way into the wastebasket, others are kept for reference and a few are used-in each week's edition. This is the age of publicity, a fact which this flood of material bears out. An army of people to-day make their livin g in this field. The difficulty is in sorting out the useful information. Not all of it can be used. The people who send out these releases don't expect 100% results but are satisfied if their material is used by a small percentage of the recipients. They realize that advertsing, to be suc- cessful, must be repeated time after time, So the editor must wade through this avalanche of paper and perhaps in the process he gains a smattering of knowledge him- self. * * * CANADIAN-MADE CARS NEWS OF WHITECHURCH Miss Dorothy Pattison, of East Wawanosh and Charlie Wilkinson, of Belgrave, were the young people spon- sored by Institute and Junior Farm ers of Belgrave to attend the five- day winter short course held recent- ly at the O.A.C. at Guelph.

Farm Forum Meets The Whitechurch Farm Forum meeting was held on Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Martin, with an attendance of Si. Three groups discussed the question of available farm credit. All con- sidered that, though credit was avail- able, it would be unwise for a young farmer to burden himself with debt at this time.
