_ In Yonkers, N.Y., striking bus drivers went into the “free taxi” u and forced their employ- er to halt operation of the com- six remaining buses. Strik- members of the CIO Trans- portworkers Union, using private autos, each of the six buses along their routes and whenever the drivers ae are waiting passengers they swoope to the curb and offered free rides. This technique cut so deeply into the company’s business that the six empty buses were pulled off the streets. SSS & SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS B.C. LUMBER WORKER Page 3 ing younger and living longer. The article and the book were widely read, both in Canada and the United States. People who cannot afford to pay the present high cost of proper medical care are anxious to pick up any seraps of information which may be helpful in avoiding doctor and hospital bills. Gayelord Hauser gives them some. Competent authorities have told me that the advice which Mr. Hauser gives is sound, He has evidently consulted some authori- tative nutritionists and there is little wrong with the general case he presents, although he adds a few frills that are not essential. “Wonder Foods” Mr. Hauser’s advice to people who read his book (and the Reader’s Digest condensation of it) is that they should be careful to eat certain “wonder foods” cally, he says: “To add years to your life get acquainted with and use every day these five wonder foods powdered brewers yeast, powdered skim milk, yogurt, wheat germ and blackstrap mo- lasses”. He also urges people to “eat only unrefined foods.” The particular foods he men- tions do, in fact, contain all of the vitamins and other nutrients that he says they do. But so do other foods that can be just as easily, and in some instances more easily, obtained. For ex- ample, he urges people to use “yogurt”. That’s fine. But from a nutrition point of view all of the vitamins, ete. that are con- tained in yogurt are also con- tained in ordinary milk. The benefits he claims can be obtained from unrefined blackstrap mo- lasses can also be obtained from ordinary cooking molasses. Hidden Link Tt becomes evident that the and that they should eat them every day.

It was entitled “Look Younger, Live Longer”. People are interested in look- | are not easily obtainable ‘in the ordinary grocery store. Thereby’ hangs a tale. What is not- dis- closed in the Reader’s Diegst condensation of his book is that Mr, Gayelord Hauser owns a chain of “health food” stores across the United States which feature the sale of these particu- lar “wonder foods”. Both the Reader’s Digest arti- cle and his book are a wonderful advertisement for the health foods he sells in his stores. Not only does Mr. Hauser avoid pay- ing for his advertising, he re- ceives income from it. Further- more, he gives lectures at various centres to which he charges ad- mission. He is apparently a fluent and entertaining speaker -and thousands of people pay thous- ands of dollars to hear him speak and advertise the foods he sells in his stores. Talk about smart advertising dechniaues| This one takes the cake, The appearance of the conden- sation of Mr. Hauser’s book in Reader’s Digest has had a sequel for Canadians. Shortly after the October issue of the Reader’s Digest appeared, Canadians who xead the book: condensation be- gan shopping about for the “Swonder foods” that Hauser ad- vocated, They soon discovered that there was only one of them which they could readily obtain in Canada, namely, blackstrap molasses. (It should be noted that so far as is known Gayelord Hauser has no interest in the blackstrap molasses sold in Ca- nada.) Up Went Prices Merchants began pushing the sale of this commodity, pinning up in their store windows copies of the article from Reader’s Di- gest saying how wonderful black- strap molasses was, etc. etc. Sales skyrocketed overnight. So did the price. The Ottawa price went up from 10c and 15c a gal- Jon to $1.50 and $2.00 a gallon. People still figured that it was a cheaper source of Vitamin B and iron than the expensive brand preparations they bought at the drugstore. Animal Feed The catch is, however, that the blackstrap molasses admitted to Canada is not intended for, and in many cases not fit for, human consumption. Its chief use has been as an animal food. It is not prepared and packaged with the same care as is required for foods intended for human con- sumption. It comes in in great rough casks and all manner of foreign material is apt to be found in it, from rubber gaskets to bits of metal and decomposed mice. It is ladled out of these easks into small packages for sale in food stores and the cus- tomers don’t know the difference. Actually there is nothing necessarily poisonous or harmful in the manner in which it is pre- pared. It’s just unsanitary and revolting! It is about time the govern- ment took action to protect the Canadian public from the conse- quences of Mr. Gayelord Hauser’s promotional activities. RED-FACED REDS In Lyons, France, the Communist party raised a terrific outery after a hand grenade was thrown at a Communist leadex-+—- but failed to explode. The next day trade unionists throughout the city had their best chuckle in months when an official investigation disclosed that the grenade had been made in Russia, and that its manu- facture was so defective that it never could have exploded, Performance You're PIONEER when to choose you see sure the its smooth dependable action at such a low initial cost.
