WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1960 INVESTIGATE BEFORE INVESTING 'Nanton News) Spring is in the air and it is also in the footsteps of the travel- ling door-to-door salesman. If they haven't done so already, the tra- velling salesman of every kind will soon be knocking on your door. When we say "every kind" we mean just that. Not ail salesman are rotters. Many sell high quality and reputable products. If you wish to protect yourself from fraud and heavy monetary los- ses, make certain you know with whom you're dealing. Never pay money to anyone until you are completely satisfied with his credentials and integrity. Bona fide direct sellers, men who are in business for them- selves and backed by reputable companies, carry some formof identification and have the manufacturer's literature on the pro- ducts offered. They have samples of their products with the manu- facturer's name stamped on them. They never demand full pay- ment for the product until it is delivered and always give an offi- cial receipt for down payments. Official contracts are usually sign- ed by both parties to cover the entire transaction if goods are not delivered on the spot. They never high pressure a customer into buying unwanted or useless products. They accept "No" cour- teously and will likely call again, In other words, for your own protection be suspicious. Ask for credentials, for salesmen's license, examine the product, de- mand to see catologues and written guarantees and examin con- tracts carefully before you sign anything or give out one penny. Reputable dealers don't mind being investigated and the buyer can't afford to invest hard earned money without making certain that he is reputable. If the product is one that can be purchased at a comparable price with a local firm, that may be the wise place to do your business, rather than risking a deal with some one you may never see again. Anyone who is legitimate will stand investigation. Beware of sympathy appeals like hard luck stories about work- ing way through college, or "specials" and "bargains" only for today or this month, or survey seekers who want to know what you already have, or home repair contractors who are just pas- sing through and want to fix the chimney, siding, roof or sidewalk. Watch out for the child photographer who wants money before you see the finished product or the travelling jeweller who has just one more set left and will sell it for a bargain—it might be "hat stuff." Remember that there is no bargain that can't be duplicated la- ter. One had better lose out on a bargain than take the risk of be- ing swindled. If you're in doubt, resist all temptation and say "No." Report any suspicious characters or irregularities in ap- proach, to your town office or the nearest police officer immedi- ately. Protect yourself, your neighbour and all reputable salesmen by using sales resistance and common sense andyour family may have more to eat on table when the rash of seasonal salesmen has passed. 16011411.41 FOR REPAIR — BUILDING CEMENT WORK Foundations Sidewalks Cement Floors Power Trowelling — Our Specialty M.

The change will take place on April 20. Conrad Siemon of the Zurich road to Hensall, has purchased the fine farm adjoining his from Charles Redmond.

Zurich's new industry, the crea- mery, is making ready to open, with their new machinery now in operation. The proprietor, S. M. Andersen, has had ten years ex- perience in the butter making trade.

Smiley A lot of woman smell their hus- band's breath when he comes home after a night out. Not my wife. She just makes me turn out my pock- ets. Oh, she doesn't make a big fuss. She quietly takes the but- tered buns, the bits of cheese, and the slices of meat wrapped in a serviette, throws them in the gar- bage, and leads me off to bed. * * a We were at a cold meat sup- per recently, sponsored by a wo- men's organization. The Old Girl was as nervous as a mother with a kleptomaniac child. She saw the tell-tale glitter in my eyes when I was confronted by those plates piled with sliced meat, those stacks of fresh, home-made bread, and she watched me like a hawk. * * * Finally, I had to get tricky. "Isn't she a knockout?" I said, pointing at a young lady who was just leaving. No woman can resist looking. While her head was turn- ed, I crammed a slice of bread in- to my pocket. But she frisked me as soon as we left the hall. I lost my piece of bread, and had to set- tle for a piece of her mind. * * , On the whole, my wife is tol- erant of this •aberration of mine. Sometimes she lets me smuggle some olives and celery out of a posh restaurant. But she draws the line when I start secreting hunks of steak or legs of fried chicken that are left. And she's not only humiliated but furious when I ask the waiter for a jar in which to cart off the remains of the chow mein, after a big Chinese meal. April 1950 The many friends of Miss Anita Deters congratulate her on being elected as May Queen by the stu- dents of Stratford Normal School. Henry Clausius, and son, of the Blind Line, while going to the bush the other day, saw to large animals which turned out, to be wolves. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Heywood, of Wingham, and Mrs. A. C. Meiding- er, of Hensall, were holiday visi- tors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Thiel.

Miss Arvis Haberer, Toronto, spent the Easter holiday week end at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Haberer. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Gascho, at- tended the funeral of the late Wil- liam Stoddart, in Seaforth one day last week. F. of A. Fieldman Describe Farm Forum Annual Meeting Held In Toronto Ontario Farm Forum held the Annual meeting in the Seaway Ho- tel, Toronto, on April 7, with re- presentatives from as far as Earl - ton, in Northern Ontario, attend- ing. Mrs. Vera Grieg, Wroxeter, the Ontario Farm Forum chairman presided. Farm Forum had a successful year in spite of the fact that the number decreased in Ontario. In both the Maritimes and Western Canada more people took advan- tage of this means of trying to im- prove the position of agriculture. Bob Knowles, of the CBC, told of the problems of broadcasting in India. The Indian Government is very interested in using the Farm Forum method in bringing infor- mation to their rural people. How- ever, they as yet have only been able to supply about 60,000 of the villages with a population of over 1,000 with one radio. There are another 600,000 villages of this size that have no radio. When we add to this all the villages under this size we can see a tremendous market for what we can produce if we would only adjust our econ- omy a little to purchase from them some of the things they would be glad to supply. The beef producers introduced a negotiating type of marketing plan at the annual meeting on. Ap- ril 8. Under this plan the board would be able to negotiate grades, standardize basis for dressed weight, and spreads between, light and heavy carcasses, and between grades. The board would have no authority over the actual scale of the cattle. A deduction of 10 cents for cat- tle and 5 cents for calves would be taken to finance the organization and to carry on a promotion pro - pram for the sale of beef produc- tio. A resolution was introduced sug- gesting that the beef producers' board, the hog producers' board, and the United Co -Operatives board meet to study the possibility of setting up processing facilities. This resolution was defeated by a large majority without any dis- cussion. This was amazing to me since the farmers are complain- ing loudly about their returns and the Commission on Price Spreads has told them that the processing of farm products is much more profitable than the producing of them. The first lesson taught to any salesman is that he must know his product and the second is that he must know his competitors pro- duct. Surely the processor is com- peting with the farmer for a por- tion of the consumer's dollar and it is only sensible for the farmer to learn of that end of the indus- try.

FED IT! .T Two influences in my life cre- ated this habit of garnering any spare food. Since my prisoner -of - war days, I've always had a deep- rooted fear of going hungry. In those days I discovered that a good, thick crust tucked, away about the person was more com- forting than thoughts of home, mother or country. * * * I remember one great finan- cial coup I pulled off there. I started with the excellent, if fil- thy, shirt which I was wearing and hadn't had off for six weeks. It took me a week, but I traded that for a cheap shirt and pair of gloves, the gloves for cigarettes, the cigarettes for an onion, the onion for a bottle of home-made hooch and the hooch for a Red Cross chocolate bar. * * * I fondled the chocolate bar, un- wrapped and rewrapped it, smel- led it, and made out a schedule whereby I would eat one square a day for eight days. That night, lying in bed thinking lecherously of my bar, I was overcome by lust, snatched it from under the pil- low, and gnawed and snarled my way through it, to the accompani- ment of piteous protests from my roommates, I was sick shortly and lost the works, to their delight. But I have never been casual about food since those days. * * * Besides this, I have a feeling, instilled in me as a child, that waste is a sin. There was no waste at our house.
