Great Crowd Attends Legion Carnival For Opening Night Street Fair Was Well Patronized By Oshawa Folk "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! You pays your money and you § takes your chances! Step right up, folks, and win--a blanket, a washing machine, a hamper of fruit, a gieaming new caf or a basket of groceries." These were the words whieh greeted the gala crowd which turned out for the first n t of the Legion's Street Fair. And last night the crowds'did seem to be paying their money and taking their chances, as they surged about the score of brightly lit booths and ands set up on the pavement in the vicinity of Metcalf and Cen- tre Streets. The climax of the evening wasé® the draw for the washing machine | at Frank Davey's booth at the cen-' tre of the fair, where the car was displayed which will be drawn for tonight. The washing machine was won by J. Gilagun, 282 Centre Street. Mrs. Bertha Lambe, presi- dent of the Ladies' Auxiliary made the draw, and the proud winning ticket was put back in the barrel, s0 Mr. Gilagun will also have a chance at the car tonight, Balmy peather greeted the en- terprise thusiastically set up by Branch 43, Oshawa, of the Cana- dian Legion. Games of skill and chance abounded, and the inner man was not neglected by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the branch who handled the smartly decorated re- freshment booths and kept their customers well victualled. Half the young bucks in six town- ships lined up at the baseball toss near the fair entrance. Much hil- arity greeted the efforts of 'local hurlers who tried to knock over five wooden bottles set up on a broken- down kitchen chair, The man in . charge of the toss reported. his cus- tomers having about fifty-fifty luck. The same was true of the darts throw a few steps further along. Penny tossing, crown-and-anchor and the old hoop game proved equally popular, One elderly chap was observed staggering along with an enormous basket of groceries he had just won at a booth set up opposite Legion Hall. He greeted his wife, sitting in at the Bingo game with an ambi- tious gleam in her eye. Sure enough, a few tries later she snagged a fold- ing, deck chair, and gleefully set her sights on a double boiler which glittered among the many expensive looking prizes. Young people loaded with panda dolls, pink elephants and other trophies were lured down to a fenc- ed off enclosure by the sweet strains of melody coming from Gordon Stickland's orchestra. Soon a crowd of dancers were swirling on the pavement, enlivened by Mr. and Mrs. Joey, a pair of cleverly gotten up clowns. Several dozen couples had a ses- sion of square dancing, while cal- ler Gord Lane presided at the microphone with old-time zest. Proceeds from this novel enter- prise will go to Legion charities, which include comforts for the boys on active service, sponsorship of local amateur sports and, the sup- plying of fruit and cigarettes to veteran patients in Sunnybrook and Oshawa hospitals, Officials of . the fair are hoping for another big crowd tonight, and will be ready for it with a warm welcome.

If they can as- sure the probable purchaser that he's getting all that he is paying for, that advertised bargains are what they are stated to be, and that merchandise is absolutely as claim- ed, collectively they will win the confidence of the people and build much community good will. The op- eration of a good better. business bureau is therefore logical protect- ive activity for the chamber of commerce, or the merchants asso- ciation, In some cities work of this type is carried on by the chamber of commerce, and in others by a better business bureau-as an 'entine- ly separate organization apart from the regular functions of the cham- ber, When such bureau does not exist, the chamber of commerce may well investigate the possibility of establishing one or of carrying on many of its functions through the retail trade committee or di- vision. However, I should like to warn that this is a matter on which most. careful consideration must be given, because such possi- bilities as a libel suit are involved and other legal difficulties. I would suggest that a chamber contemplat- ing the establishment of such a better business function within its own organization, investigate the proposition thoroughly and obtain detailed "information from sources such as The National Better Busi- ness Bureau, Chrysler Building, New York City, New York. SOLICITATIONS: The solicitation of funds, the sell- ing of tickets or program advertis- ing,' and other such forms of pro- motion are a problem in every community. In cities where there is a better business bureau much of the work in connection with solici- tations and investigations therof is done by that agency; on the oth- er hand, many chambers of com- merce handle the work through a solicitations committee. However, it may be done, it is an important function in the proper protection of the best interests of the members of the chamber. This matter of soli- citations has also received munici- pal attention with the result that solicitation ordinances have been enacted to control solicitations through a special commission, or in some other way. Such ordinances are somewhat ti ble as to constitutionality. at First Baptist Church on day, July 8, will again be guest cher on Sunday, July 15, in First Baptist Church. .

Wani't to buy, sell or trade? -- A ad and the deal is This is particularly so if excessive license fees are required; however, ¥a large measure of control has been accomplished by many chambers of commerce by simply requiring that the solicitor obtain a permit. The matter is further handled by the chamber in providing that written authorization must be given for any solicitation to be permitted among its members. This is probably the soundest and most suceessful ap- proach to the nuisance. : ITINERANT MERCHANT: The question involved in copsider- ation of the itinerant merchant or peddler by legislative means even at the local level and still stay with- in constitutional limits. This is a free country, and any man has 'a right to operate a business so long as he abides by the rules and re- gulations which are laid down for the control of all business generally. On the other hand, the more un- desirable itinerants may be .elimi- nated by the local city government placing an occupational tax or li- cense fee so high that it is not pos- sible for the itinerant to operate and pay tax, Although successful, this weapon against the itinerant merchant has questionable legality, and many, in fact most such ordi nances, have been declared uncon- stitutional and thus void, TRADE DIVERSION: The diversion of trade from re- cognized and legitimate retail channels has become a major oper- ation. The volume of such business captured by catalogue houses and discount operators is astounding. A major portion of the diversion to catalogue houses is through the purchasing departments of manu- facturing concerns and large coms mercial employers. Bogus discount houses who claim to sell to the in- dividual for consumption or use at wholesale prices flourish in practi- cally every large city. Both the catalogue house and the discount operator use nationally advertised loss leader bait to mer- chandise shoddy, inferior goods. The merchants serving the area suffer the loss of volume. The com= munity, the benefit of the trade in question, and the customer receives questionable value for his so-called wholesale bargain. Attempts have been made by legislation to correct the condition, and many States have enacted anti- trade diversion laws. However, the attempt to eliminate this type of operation has not been too success- ful because organizations have run afoul of Federal statutes relative to restraint of trade which has made it difficult to carry on an aggres- sive organized -campaign te stamp out the nuisance. Encouraging progress has been made in some States through the active co-operation of manufactur- ers associations in bringing to the attention of their memper purchas- OSHAWA-WHITBY, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1951 Plane Appearrs to Explode In Mid-Air, 3 Die h Bodies of three Pittsb gh sport ) d for a fishing holiday near Parry Sound, Ont, were among the wreckage of this plane after an explosion in mid-air sent it plunging to the ground.

Only a month or two ago it was bringing frequent calls in parlia- ment for government action. One opposition member requested that Canada make a $100 million gift for famine relief. The government said at that time it was "exploring every avenue." Now the crisis period has pretty well passed without any special help from Canada beyond the 300,- 000 tons of wheat India bought commercially here last fall. The Canadian government twice offered, additionally, to provide low-grade wheat -- all there was available -- and India turned it down. Food now is pouring into India at a faster rate than the harbors can handle. The U. 8. is shipping two million tons of wheat on a loan basis after weeks of argu- ment in congress. India herself is hoping for a good crop in September. The threat of future famines hangs heavily over the country and New Delhi plans to tackle that menace in two ways. The short- range aim is to build up food re- provide more protein in the diets of Colonial peoples. serves. The long-range aim is to increase India's own ability to pro- Indian Famine Averted But Problem duce food through irrigation and hydro-electric projects. That is the background for dis- cussions that have been going on between Indian and Canadian of- ficials. The expectation here is that In- dia will at '2ast duplicate and quite possibly surpass, last year's order for 300,000 tons of top-grade wheat once Canada's new crop is ready in a couple of months. The question is whether she'll buy it commercially under the in- ternational wheat agreement or take it as part of Canada's con- tribution under the Colombo plan, the long-range Commonwealth pro- gram for building up south and southeast Asia. She might do both, CANADIAN EXECUTIVE IN U.K. Mr. C.
