Little Reason for Delivery Complaint
A recent suggestion that, in an effort
to balance receipts and expenditures, -
the post office department might dis-
continue Saturday mail delivery has
raised a hue and cry of protest, .in
cities and large centres across Canada.
Much of the protest seems centred in
the Toronto area and typical is this
excerpt from a letter which appeared
in a Toronto. paper recently:
"The steady erosion of our postal
privileges must - cease forthwith, if
for no other reason that we may not
in the near future, find ourselves in
the unhappy position of' trudging to
the nearest post office to collect our
mail."
What the writer doesn't realize is
that , mail delivery of any kind, regard-
less of frequency, is a privilege enjoy-
ed by the. favored. few in cities and in
relatively -few of the towns in Canada.
Those in other towns such as Seaforth
have never had the opportuni of do-
ing other than "trudging to the near-
est post office" to collect their mail.
Other thousands across Canada must
content themselves with delivery as
frequently as once a week.
Arid of course these Canadians re-
siding ,outside the cities are paying ex-
actly the same letter rates, the same
parcel post rates as are their fellow
citizens in Toronto and similiar cen-
tres. Postal rates do not, nor could
they reflect degrees of service or. fre-
quency of delivery. ' rx .)
Perhaps the postal people should be:
commended fore a suggestion that
would bring the service being provided
their Canadian employers at various
centres more near in balance.
Certainly those in the cities are
standing on thin ice when they com-
plain ,about postal delivery or the lack
of it.
We Ignore Obvious Potentials
In our concern with .attracting indus-
try to our communities do.' we some-
times ignore facilities at our doorstep
that have an equally helpful potential?
That this is" the case is suggested 1 y °
the Wingham, Advance -Times .who com-
plains of .the lack ofregard in which
area_ 'municipalities hold thetourist
and summer resort traffic. • •
It" is always amazing to us how
dense the township cotiiicils tan be
when it comes to know where the but-
ter lies thickest on their.-- bread, the
Advance -Times contends and goes on
in this fashion: "A case 'in point is
the horrible condition of many of
the roads leading to the Lake
Huron shore to- the west of us. If you
happen to be a boat or cottage owner
you will realize what we are talking
about. Some . of the access roads to the
resort areas a -re . in suchbad shape that
a good car can be taken over them at
little more 'than crawl if tires and
springs are to be protected from ruin.
These roads are booby -trapped with
pot holes and some haven't seen gravel
orgrader in ten years.
"Apparently it is a rule of thought
with the councils of these Lakeshore
townships that the rich so-and-sos who
can afford cottages can put' up with
bad roads. .
"Perhaps it would be a worthwhile
exercise for the councillors to take an
annual xeview of the tax revenue they
• receive from cottage properties and to
actually total up the expenditures which
have been made to accommodate the
cottage owners. We would venture the
guess that the .cottage property owner
is paying the highest rate by far in
these townships, remembering • the
fact that such properties never benefit
from taxes for education' costs or coun-
ty rates. Seldom do the children of cot-
tage owners attend schools in the lake
townships. When a township can pro-
vide any sort of fire protection it is for
a part of the year only, since most of
the cottage roads are unplowed in the
winter months.
"Another source of revenue which is
completely overlooked is that available
from boat owners. If there were freely -
available launching ramps for motor
boats, many hundreds of dollars would
pour into the cash registers of a whole
series of retailers in these areas. Gas
and oil, food and sporting equipment
of many kinds are purchased in big
quantities by the boatowning crowd.
And whenboating facilities are made
available the boatowners tend to be-
come , "interested in the areas where
they enjoy their' sport and often end
up as Cottage owners as well."
We are in full agreement when it is
pointed out that we live in one of the
finest tourist and summer , recreation
areas in the whole country. We likewise
agree with _the. Wingham editor when
he concludes that it is amazing that
there is so little public consciousness
of the potential which lies on our door-
step.

The machine. age ,is . upon us,
and with it comes a whole new
field of careers. We live in a
market-oriented economy, and
-even the poorest of' us are con-
sumers. This. is the era of mark-
eting.
Marketing 'began long ago, in
ages when the value of trade
was Orel and transportation
difficult. It was good for sellers
to know that if they took their
wares to a certain spot on an
appointed day, They would find
buyers gathered there. This
knowledge centralized supply
and demand, saved time and
stimulated production for sale.
This is the basis ' of marketing
today. Marketing is the' .process
of getting foods from the place
where they are made or grown
to the place where they are to
be used. Transportation, pack-
aging, storing, ,advertising, and
selling are all part of the mark-
eting process. ,• ,
The course of study for a
student planning upon entering
this field includes: Salesman-
ship, Advertising, Display,
Principles of Selling," -Proper
Dress and Proper Attitudes.
The course is widely varied and
comprehensive., -
