The interâ€"county and the secâ€" ohdary school classes in which The International Plowing Match which gets under way at Cobourg on October 6th, is likely to break all records according to F. A. Lashley, secretaryâ€"manager. The demanda for exhibit space exceeds that of any previous year. Over two hundred firms have apâ€" plied and wil)l occupy lots varying in frontage from 25 to 275 feet. Hydro,‘teiephone and water have now been installede in Tented City and everything is in readiâ€" ness to begin setting up tents. Entries in most of the plowing classes will be received as the Match progresses but in some inâ€" stances advanced entry is reâ€" quired. The Mayors‘ class on the first day will have keen competiâ€" tion from _ many _ newcomers. Among the entries are Mayor Grace McFarland of Leamington and Mayor Bernadette Smith of Woodstock . Many entries have been reâ€" ceived from top plowmen for the Ontario Championship Class, the winners of which will compete in a anadian class to choose the two to represent Canada in World competition. British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward island will have entries in the Canadian competition. Each province is sending its top plowmen. The winner will receive the silver plow as an award. FORECAST RECORD ENTRY IN INTERNATIONAL PLOWING MATCH He takes great credit to himself for operating an insurance scheme for the benefit of my employees; but he makes me responâ€" sible for the premiums. Half of these I have to deduct from the workers‘ wages, and I have to pay the other half myself. When my time comes to "shuffle off this mortal coil", he will promptly lock up all my assets and my wife‘s, also, and leave her with nothing to live on till he decides how much he can take out of my estate. He will insist on taking this out of the liquid assets even though he ruins the business and renders the rest of the estate worthless in doing so. How did I ever come to choose such a partner? I didn‘t choose him. He chose me. He is the State. He makes the laws under which we all work and live; and he simply made laws giving himself authority to do all these things. And now he rides on my back and on your back and on all our backs and we have no way of dislodging him. What would you not give to be able to concoct a drink that would make him drunk so that you could shake him off, as Sinbad with the Old Man of the Sea? But there is no such drink. He is not a helpful partner, he has never invested anything in the business; nor does he contribute anything in the way of manageâ€" ment or direction. His only interest is in how much he can get out of it. In addition to all this, he insists on a percentage of the wages of all my employees and he holds me responsible for collecting this for him. The primary producer cannot, except in a most general way, control the end use of what he produces or be responsible if exaggerâ€" ated claims are made for it. The quickest and best way for a conâ€" sumer to get action on a legitimate complaint is to make it to the retailer who will not hesitate to pass the complaint along to the primary producer if the latter is a fault. * He is not satisfied with his share of the profits; but in addition, he insists on a percentage on every dollar we spend on supplies or equipment, as well as a percentage on every article as well. What‘s behind the boom of prosperity which characterizes the Canadian economy ana provides the foundations of the welfare and security of the Canadian people? The answer lies, not as some would have people believe, in Ottawa‘s extensive social security program, nor yet in the fiscal and monetary policies laid down by Parliament. The real explanation must be sought in the habits of thrift and saving of the people. A recent decision of the Canadian Retail Federation to form a customer relations committee to deal with complaints by customer groups and individual customers of retail stores is highly praised by Style, a Toronto newspaper devoted to the women‘s and children‘s wear industry. The idea is certainly a good one. All too often in the past Canadian primary producers have had to deal with complaints that should have gone to the retail outlets. Often, for instance, a housewife complains that such and such a material is "no good" because it shrinks or fades or otherwise behaves in a manner different from that which she has been led to expect. In such circumstances the housewife does not always stop to ask who is responsible for her disillusionment. She naturally thinks the maker of the material is to blame whereas the person really responsible may be the retailer who knew exactly what type of material he was handling and who could have told the consumer how it would behave under various conditions. Consider, for example, the huge new $10,000,000 businessâ€"shopâ€" ping centre about to be built in Winnipeg South. Most people think of the department stores, shops, medical centre, offices and other facilities as merely contributing to the services available to the people of Winnipeg. In fact, the project is far more significant than that. It is a fact that every new investment of $10,000,000 in Canada provides upwards of 1000 new jobs. It adds nearly $3,000,000 a year to the spending power of the Canadian people in the form of new wages and salaries. It lessens the national tax load by upwards of $1,000,000 a year, through the taxes paid by the new project. It adds another $600,000 to the purchasing power of the people in the form of dividends which, in turn yield another substantial return to the Federal treasury in the form of income tax. It adds not less than $4,000,000 a year to the national income. New plant and equipment, modernization and improvement of existing facilities, the intelligent use of savings in investmentâ€"such is what is behind the boom. Nor is there any reason why prosperity should not continue, so long as a climate attractive to capital formaâ€" tion remains unimpaired by excessive wage demands, unduly high taxes and unfair foreign competition.
