NOT ENOUGH ROOM

10 cent candy too

small for wrapper 2

TORONTO (CP) — The grad-
ually-shrinking 10-cent candy
bar may soon be too small for
its wrapper,

Manufacturers say there’s
not enough room cn the labels
for listing all the ingredients as

required under proposed
federal packaging and labelling
regulations.

The five-cent bar diminished
in size until it almost disap
peared in Canada, (hen was re-
placed by the 10-cent bar.

Similarly, the 10-cent bar ap-
pears headed for oblivion.

Confectioners themselves
would like to retain the 10-cenl
bar, says K.A. Brown, new
president of the Confectionary
Association of Canada.

As chief executive of Toronto
based Rowntree Co. Lid., Mr.
Brown says thal “a 10- cent bar
is good PR.”

Confectioners recently have
been able to keep prices of
wrapped products fairly stable
by reducing their unil weight to
offsel rising costs.

However, Mr. Brown predicts
thal the 15-cenlt bar will become
the next slandard. He has no
timetable but believes it is inev-
ilable.

The new packaging
regulation bill, which awaits
proclamation, is one obstacle to
retention of the 10-cent bar.

Manufacturers say that de-
lailed technical listing of- main
and secondary ingredients in
both English and French would
make many smaller candy
wrappers illegibie.

Spelling oul secondary ingre-
dients under the group name
‘shortening’ would require 22
words in English alone.

The confectionery industry is
fighting for exemptions of such
listing on labels with less than
10 square inches of exposed sur-
face area.

Mr. Brown said the industry
is also opposed to fixed weights
for candy bars which would
force price adjustments in
order to maintain a given
weight,

For example, a two-ounce
bar, usually selling for 10 cents,
might switch lo nine or 11 cents
depending on price changes in
raw materials.

The public does not like to pay
such odd prices for canvenience
items, says Mr. Brown. Results
were ‘‘disastrous"” when some
five-cent bars wenl to six cents.

Dief claims Chinese
harrassed in Canada

VANCOUVER (CP) — For-
mer prime minister John Dief-
enbaker has called for a federal
investigation into claims of ha-
rassment of Chinese Canadians
since Canada recognized Main-
land China last year.

Mr. Diefenbaker made the
statement during an interview
in Ottawa Wednesday after re-
ceiving a letter from the Chi-
nese Benevolent Association in
Vancouver,

Mrs. Lam Fong. wife of the
issociation president here, said
her husband, who does not
speak tluent English. wrote the
letter in Chinese last May. She
said it was sent to a Chinese
Benevolent Association member
in Toronto, translated and for-
warded to Mr. Diefenbaker.

She said that many citizens

of Chinese descent living in
Canada have fears of coercive
action by Communists because
of anti-communist sentiments
by Chinese Canadians.

Since Canadian recognition of
the Peoples Republic of China
last year, “about 90 per cent of
Chinese in Canada think the
Communists are at the doerstep
and want ta protect them-
selves,’ Mr, Fong said.

“My husband wrote the letter
for the protection of Chinese
people in Canada.”

Mr. Diefenbaker said the let-
ter mentioned two Chinese lan-
guage periodicals—not named—
published in Canada that have
threatened “remnant nationalist
elements.’ with. violent action.

Not on your life, Sir.

CALI Colombia (CP) — Little
Lester Wong was just standing

From all reports, the 28- -year-
old Toronto chemist and

flag stand which contains the
flags of the countries competing
in tie: 'Games.- :

which was the Cuban flag. Wong
said he didn’t know bul his
friend promptly pointed to his
national symbol.

After that the reports come a
litle blurry but there was a fight
and pretty soon Wong, who
apparently was just standing
there trying to mind his own
business, was (he business of
many people.

Top Canadian, Cuban and
United States officials at the
Games were awakened in gn
effort to-get Wong back: — he
was taken Nostage*-by! the
Cubans ‘but Yeleased unhurt
shortly after.

Some of the aftermath was
this:

— AUS, athlete had to walk
around with dark glasses

because he was cut above anu
below the right eye,

— Top U.S. _ officials
demanded an apology from
Cuba, saying their athlete
James P. Culhane, a28-year-old
gymnast, had been attacked by
a group of Cubans while also
irying to take a flag as a
souvenir, |

— Cuba got their flag back but
it hada three-inch tear in it,

— Wong went sightseeing.

‘REQMISES ACTION a
Roh Osborne of Vancouver, -

the’Canadian chef de missfon,
expressed: regret over the ‘in-
cident and promised to in-

vesligate and “take appropriate
action.” He said he felt no
malice had been intended.

Clifford Buck, president of the

U.S. Olympic Committee, said
itallstarted as a prank. He said
some athletes decided to grab
some flaps as souvenirs.

“We have a statment from
Culhane," said Buck. ‘He
acknowledged that he took one
off the... flags, although it is
against team rules,”

He expressed apologies to the
-people of Cali for Culhane’ ‘8
