CY OR

POST MORTEM?

By PEG STEWART

I’m writing this right in the middle of a provincial
election campaign in Ontario. By the time many of you
read it, the die will be cast, the election will be over—and
T'll probably be flat on my face!

This is the first time I’ve
worked in an office, with regular
hours (well, regular starting
hours), and tried to keep house
on the side. I want to take my
imaginary hat off to the gals
who take it as a matter of course.
All I can say is, I hope they’re
all younger than I am.

Back Office Gals

And I’m having a demonstra-
tion of something I’ve believed
for a very long time. That is, that
the boss in the front office
wouldn’t get very far without the
gals in the back office to prop
him up. What people do when
they don’t have good file clerks
and stenographers and _ book-
keepers, I hate to think. I know
that’s far from being a new idea,
but it’s always nice to find that
youre right for a change. I
speak from the heart, because
I’m the boss in the front room at
the moment.

This election campaign has
been particularly exciting to me,
partly because I’m at the heart
of it, but also because there’s a
brand new proposal by the CCF.

Well over a year ago, when
the CCF was making a new ex-
amination, and re-writing its
provincial policy, the problem of
the buyer—the ordinary consum-
er—was really given attention.
And the result was that the pro-
vincial program got a new item.

Consumers’ Bureau

The idea is that a provincial
government should provide a
Consumers’ Bureau. We all know
very well that the Ontario-Re-
search Council, and the Canadian
Standards Association and the
Research Council at Ottawa do
yery good work in gathering in-
formation about consumer pro-
ducts, but frankly, as an ordin-
ary member of the public, I
haven't a clue as to what happens
to the facts they collect.

You may remember the furor
Mz. Coldwell caused a year or so
ago. He visited the Research
Council at Ottawa, and he learned
something he thought very in-
teresting. That was, that the no-
rinse detergents — (“just wash
your clothes and hang ‘em out”)
did indeed clean them, but they
also destroyed the cloth in a
comparatively short time.

Belongings Destroyed

Mr. Coldwell remarked on this
in public, and the papers were
very interested. They published
it widely, columnists wrote pieces
about it. But nothing further

happened. It didn’t seem to occur
to the powers-that-be that it was
any part of their job to pass on
such information to the public
who were being persuaded by ad-
vertising to destroy their be-
longings.

So it would be the job of a
Consumers’ Bureau to get the
valuable information dug up by
research, and to pass it on to the
people who are deeply concerned
—the people who pay out money
for the goods.

And it would be their job to
examine prices. Where they
found price spreads beyond all
reason, they would recommend to
the government that action be
taken. There are items in which
there is a large and: mysterious
difference between what the far-
mer gets for the food stuffs he
produces, and what the house-
wife pays for them in the stores
—even allowing for the cost of
processing and distributing them.

Quality Standards

It would be the Bureaus’ job
to work with consumer organiza-
tions like CAC, and with manu-
facturers, to set up standards of
quality in relation to price, and
to get some uniformity in cloth-
ing sizes.

And it would be their job to
see that absolutely false and mis-
leading advertising was out-

GENERAL BAK

oe

lawed. The advertising boys
would not be cut off from their
highly coloured adjectives — but
they would have ‘to-possess some
basis in fact.

I think a Consumers’ Bureau
is not only a new idea, but a good
idea. After all, we’re still wait-
ing for that striped wrapping to
come off the bacon!
