PAGE TWENY-TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1929 Made in Oshawa Goods Rank First in Products of the Empire HOW CANADA TOOK PART IN EMPIRE SHOPPING WEEK IN 1928 The Empire Shopping Week of 1928 clicited support and encourage- ment among all types of people, from His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, to the humblest schoolboy in Canada. ii One hundred and forty-seven cities, towns and villages comprising. a pop- ulation of over 3,000,000 people, par- ticipated in the "Weck's" activities on a definitely organized scale. Every other municipality received and used the literature and retail trade aids. Unique combinations of merchan- dising and good fellowship took place in a number of cities and towns where friendly storckeepers lent their show windows for displays of their fellow-merchants' goods, and in some cases to create an exhibition of the manufactured products of the town on the main street. : In at least twenty places, "Made in Canada" shows some lasting the whole Week, formed an integral part of Empire Shopping Week. Women's clothing manufacturers put on style shows and demonstra- tions and hundreds of other manu- facturers made special advertising and window displays to capitalize on the decidedly preferential air in which the Week was held, One hundred and fifty thousand window streamers bearing the words "Empire Buyers are Empire Build- ers." Scores of cities, towns and vil- lages turned the "Week" into a gala occasion with band concerts, parades, special decorations and illuminations, guessing contests, entertainments, etc, Canadian, Empire and Service Clubs in many municipalities gladly heard the news about the "Week' and many of their members rendered yeoman service of local committees, Many hotels and restaurants put on special Empire and Canadian menus for luncheons, teas, dinners, etc., and used the crest and motto on their 'menu cards. CIN Film trailers with specially com- posed inspirational wording and the Patron's gracious - and thoughtful opening message were freely used in many large picture houses. Numerous meetings of teachers at- tending annual gatherings of educa- tional associations: cordially received Empire Shopping Week "speakers. Premiers and Cabinet Ministers used the radio freely to broadcast addresses on subjects related to Em- pire Shopping 'Week. The local chairman's report from a western city recounting simply their crganization and the work carried on covered four pages of print in the Executive Committee's Report. A large fraction of the matter pub- lished in newspapers was in the form of editorials endorsing the movement proclaiming its economic' value to Canada, and urging the steady main- tesiance of the policy, daily, weekly, and year by year, The design of special posters and decorations for the "Week" formed part of the regular school work in a number of art and technical schools. Numerous local arrangements were made with several picture theatres to show Canadian and British films, In- vitations to attend were accepted by many interested people. LENGTH OF KISS PROTESTED Just how long and how passionate- ly ought an actor kiss an actress in a love scene is being discussed in Paris following the protest of a member of the audience at the production of a new play, "Rolls Royce," at the Mathurin Theatre. The spectator, a Paris architect, laid an information with the police against M. Saturnin Farbe and Mlle. France Ellys, the actors, and the theatre management, declaring. that the kissing scene is carried to so realistic a point that it might endanger public morals, M. Farbe declared he did not know how the scene would strike a spectator. "Neither of us," he said, "knows ex- actly what our acting may look like, as we forget ourselves in our roles. But we cannot believe we have done anything shocking." Meanwhile the argument continues to rage. FINE EMPIRE DAY, PROGRAM, HARMONY »| Rev. E.

It will begin next Saturday. There seems to be a mistaken idca in some people's minds that the scheme is in- tended primarily as ameans of push- ing the sale of British goods in other parts of the Empire. That is alto- gether wrong. The Matherland is helping the Week with all its might with the view of promoting trade | throughout all the Dominions, We have frequently referred to the fact that merchants over there have, quite apart from this special week, been making special displays of Dominion products, - The probability is that the Dominions will benefit more than Great Britain, more especially as through the «Imperial preferential system they enjoy important advan- tages over foreign competitors, So far as Canada is concerned, it must be remembered, the British Empire is her best customer, Soh There is a principle in Empire Shopping Week which should be thoroughly understood. It is that a natural and constant first preference be given to goods and commodities that are the product of the eountry where the week is being held. Within Canada, for instance, Canadian goods' and commodities are the first con- cern, products bf other portions of the Empire are urged as entitled to the next preference, other factors be- ing equal. For goods produced in Canada are alsv produced within the Empire, and the whole consideration rests on the rightful general benefit of the whole commonwealth. Attention should be called to the fact that the United States openly acknowledges that a huge proportion of the $900,000,000 worth of the goods which Canada buys from it could be either made in Canada or' bought within the British - Empire. there is another opening for trade. Altogether the week means that it is a big effort to encourage national and Imperial trade, foundation of more industries throughout the Empire. Tt will lead to less unemployment, and the de- velopment of the Empire's huge re- sources. And the idea is making great headway for among the large bodies supporting it are the National Council. of Women, the Imperial Order Daughters of the Fmpire, the Canadian Girl Guides and the Boy Scouts - Associations, the Canadian Branch of the British Empire Service League, the Retail Merchants Asso- ciation, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Trades and labour Congress, the Association of Cana- dian Advertisers, the Canadian Man- ufacturers Association, the British Agents.
