AM r,�rr iiv n..al Consumer Affairs Vide© games may hurt television screens The Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs has alerted Canadians to a possible problem which may develop in television sets when used with electronic video games. Prolonged use of the games may cause the game pattern to remain visible as a dark outline during regular TV viewing. The department is already in consultation with the electronics industry to investigate the reported problem. One major retailer already has begun warning purchasers of video games about the possible problem based on its own ex- perience with TV sets used in its stores, over prolonged periods, for demonstration purposes. This information tends to confirm recent conversations between officials of the depart- ment and the Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association of Canada. In the circumstances, with an increase in the purchase of video games during the holiday season, all consumers should be im- mediately aware of the.reported problem, pending final outcome of discussions underway with the industry. As soon as full technical information is available con- sumbers will be advised im- mediately. It has been suggested that in the meantime, video games should be turned off when not in actual use, and sets should be adjusted to low brightness and contrast while being used with the games. These precautions should be followed with all game and set combinations, at least until full technical information is available. Retention of a dark outline of the game pattern during regular TV viewing is apparently result of a phenomenon known as "phosphor exhaustion" which normally occurs at an even rate over the entire television screen and is only perceptible, if at all, as a very gradual dimming of the total image and can be corrected by increasing the brightness setting. Video games, however, produce a constant outline pat- tern on the screen so that fading of the picture -tube phosphor does not occur evenly. After an ex- tended period of use, there may be a cumulative effect that is noticeable during regular viewing and cannot be corrected except by picture tube replacement. The effect is reportedly more likely to occur with sets that have been adjusted to high brightness or contrast during use with a video game. Officials of the department have contacted the Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association for any further in- formation the industry may be able to provide and to work toward a solution for consumers. They have asked to be advised as soon as possible on the posiiton of both game and set manufac- turers regarding warranty and other protection for consumers. In the meantime, although the department wants to emphasize that the information it has is based on use of the games with demonstration sets over long periods, it would nevertheless urge consumers to take precautionary measures. Dairy industry better Eugene Whelan, federal minister of agriculture, said the Canadian dairy industry is doing a better job of reducing surplus stocks than the industry in many other countries. Speaking to about 450 Grey and Bruce County farmers in Hanover, the minister said in- dustrial milk production in Canada appears to be on target. He said that if production follows the current trend until the end of March, the 1976-77 dairy year will be what was predicted — 97 million hundredweight of industrial milk. Mr. Whelan said the Canadian Dairy Commission started the current dairy year with about 42 million pounds of butter in storage and expects to have about 10 million pounds at the end of March. He said Canadian dairy cattle exports were depressed in 1975, but added that last year they began to recover. entries in the horse class and 45 entries in the tractor classes with 19 entries in the Junior Match on the preceding Thursday. No decision was taken con- cerning the site of the local match in 1977. While several sites were being considered members suggested a decision should be deferred until later and that in the meantime an invitation be issued to any who might be in- terested in providing ac- commodation for the match to get in touch with any of the executive. "In the first eight months of last year we shipped more than 30,000 head of dairy cattle, about twice as many as in the same eight months in 1975." Mr. Whelan also said sales of skim milk powder are declining. Skim milk powder was one of the best food bargains in Canada because it was only about one- third the cost of skim milk fluid. "If you mix it up half-and-half with whole milk, the resulting two -percent milk costs only 39 cents a quart. Yet consumers bought less skim milk powder last year than they did in 1975. I get letters from consumers complaining about food prices in Canada and then I see they're not taking advantage of a bargain like this. "It just proves to me what I've been saying all along, that food is such a bargain in this country that people take it for granted." Mr. Whelan criticized the news media for its coverage of the dairy industry. He said there are too many reporters in Canada writing "on topics on which they have no knowledge, including agriculture." He said recent reports that the Canadian dairy industry'` -"is inefficient are "false, false, false." He singled out a CBC -TV program, the Roger's Report, as one recent example of inaccurate reporting on the dairy industry.
