It is the season! “N< w I am going t< give you free of charge ...” "We are only making this offer available to a few chusun people ...” "I only need three thousand more points for my free scholarship ...” "If you order these now, you will save . . . ” "You will be one of the first to be offered this new ...” "These are not available through retail stores, but . . . These aie just a few of the “Sales Pitches” that are going around with the heavy influence of summer sales people who are right in the middle of house-to-house campaigns^ During the summur. this type of selling is at fever pitch. Once betore, a warning was issued to beware of such tactics, but still many are fookd into buying under these great pretences. Let common sense prevail for a while and forget the gieit sales pitches These offers often are acts of fraud, but more than * likely not. Y< u will receive what you are sold, but maybe not right out in the open as the gimmicks and other sales tricks are used. People aren't giving these things away! Especially true is this when a force of sales people are usul and you knew they are being paid for their efforts.

A smart decision was made by almost 500 people in Walkerten last Thursday, as this many jteok advantage of the State Health Board s Mobile X-Ray Unit in Walkerton through the efforts of the St. Joseph Comity Tuberculosis League. Really, - you aie the ones who made it possible,by your purchase of ■ Christmas Seals each year at . the holiday season. B in Walkerton for the first timd tn four years, good ■ response was shown. It was stated that, a minimum of 200 persons needed to go thiough the unit to make it worth while, and this figure was reached in

BEWARE!

A package plan can be so'd to a person under high pre»siu’e tactics that is so nicely disguised that only after the sale is made can one see what they really have purchased. A quick sale, a signed contract and someone left holding the bag is often the result. We have nothing against magazines and their sales programs if they are what you want Many other articles also aro offered for such great savings that a person hasn't the nerve to pass up such a bargain. However, our plea is still "Know who you are buying from and just what you are getting for your money ” All this money that you semi out of the community or area is gone for good. It wall newer be back. This may sound minor to you on the terms of a few dollars or so. but multiply these together and see what is happening on this basis. Generally speaking, money spent at home stays at home This added money spent at home may make the difference in a full time job or two over a year's time Maybe that j< b could be yours, your neighbor's or your relatives. Hometown merchants are in business to sene you and to continue in business, not here today and gone tomorrow. When that doorbell rings or the knock is heard, he care ul and give some thought before you become victim of a high pressure sales pitch Generally you are the one that gains by the extra caution. Use it.

A Smart Decision

the morning session. A word of thanks should be extended to all the employers who encouraged their employe- s to have the X-Ray taken and gave them time off for this reason. Also the hleping hand if the Walkerton Tri Kappa for their work both at thtf macliihe and in advance of their coming to help publicize tjiewfact a&d encourage people to tqke advantage of the trip into Walkerton. We hope the results were encouraging enough that we won't have to wait four more years for this facility to return to Walkerton.
