Fairview (Alberta) Post Thursday, May 8, 1952 (TEE MOTHER On Her Day - Sunday, May 11 -Dunvegan Dreamboat Don t There is no information available for date when the Dunvegan ferry may go into operation this season: Latest word is that the Dream- boat engine is still out for repairs and nobody seems hazard so much as a guess at whether it willbe two days, two weeks or two months until the navigation season begins. W. F. Gilliland, M.L.A., .said at Fairview Saturday that he had no information concerning engine re- pairs. He had been informed that the delay in starting ferry service . was for the reason that the ice had still not gone out of the Peace River above Clayhurst ferry. There has been, no reply to the Board of Trade telegram last week. - to the Hon. Gordon Taylor. It remains anybody's guess. e * Im an election speech at Dawson Creek, B.C., Orvis Kennedy, Social Credit organizer, said: The major function of any gov- nt is to bring to the people * results which the people want in the management of their affairs The north has said for many Ckiterially Steahing . . years that it didn t want the old . Lame Duck cable ferry at Dunveg an, it wanted a bridge. So we got Dreamboat with the result that there is one more trouble the engine in addition to all the same vicissitudes of wind and high water and freeze-up period which bothered the Lame Duck. Just as often as before, or even more often, farmers, travelling men and tour- ists have to drive the extra 150 miles the long way around be- tween Fairview and Rycroft, which is mot, what anybody wants. We still want a bridge: * When they tell us that ferry traf- fic at Dunvegan is not heavy enough to justify a bridge, we won- der if anybody is counting the traf- fic that can t cross? Last year it was said that Watino ferry carried more traffic than Dunvegan. Of course it did. It ran longer. It has been carrying traffic now for three weeks that would have preferred to drive across 30 miles from Ry- croft to Fairview instead of 180 miles by way of Watino, if there was any way to cross. Let s Look at the Want Ads : (Reprinted from Canadian Weekly Editor) You don t need big money to ad- vertise. You can sell anything from a business to a bathtub through the classified ads. The cost is only a few cents a line, and pulls like mules. To make them pay, you need to know how to use them. It s not a ..matter-of- tricks, like abbreviating a three-line ad into two lines. It s Knowing BE. the principles - and following them. i To begine with, in.the classified sections the readers hunt the ads. . They turn to the back of the paper, or even pick up a separate section , They hunt because they are shop- ping. They are in the market, in .the mood to buy. - *. What an advantage that is If you want to sell a car you don t have to buy.space to persuade a reader he ought to buy a car. Car buyers are sorted out for you in advance. You .--put all your word power into sell- ing that car. - Size up the competition: Your problem is to make your offer more attractive than others like it. So you Took over the ads in the classifica- tion you'll use. See what s being of- fered how prices run, what special attractions are stressed. That will show you what you have to beat. Most Likely Buyer Next, try to imagine the most ately buyer for what you have to se) Avoid the seller s viewpoint (1 want to sell record cabinets) and get the buyer s slant (here s how to meet your need. z Stress the special characteristics. that make what you have to sell ex- actly what the reader is looking for. Remember that a new group of shoppers turns to the classified ads each issue, when the mood to buy its them. That means you should not bank on finding a buyer the first time out. Keep advertising un- til you connect. Name or, Box Number? Blind ad or open ad? A blind ad doesn t carry the advertiser s name or address; it gives just a tele- phone or box number. If there s any reason to keep your namie con- fidential, or if it s more convenient to pick up replies from a box, go ahead and run a blind ad. But if there is no particular reason use name and address. The ad will score better. If you mention price, you auto- matically eliminate replies from people who won t pay it. You save time and trouble. If a low price is a selling point, you ll certainly use it. The advantage of omitting the. price is that you get responses from all potential buyers and have a chance to bolster your ad with some person-to-person selling when responses come in. Your next stop is the Post want- ad desk, and here s to 4 quick sale. : FAIRVIEW POST More News About Fairview Than Any Other Newspaper in the World Published Thursday at Fairview, Alberta By E..

At Fairview a happy solution is feund through kind permission to use the school of agriculture dormitory at cost charge of 1.00 per head. The RCAF bandsmen who were here two-years ago will appreciate this improvement. On that occasion they were bedded on mattresses slung on the floor in the Grand Hotel, then under construction. Maytime at the Ferry The Maytime tour is travelling in a fleet of buses from town to town. : Unless the Dunvegan ferry goes in- to action suddenly, the whole cara- van is up against the long haul ar- ound from Spirit River by way of Watino ferry, a drive of approxim- ately 180-miles to make the 30 mile trip. The visitors only have to do it once, though. There are travel- lers here who have made the long haul several times each year for as much as twenty. years * Get All You Can Out of Life Start with the number 80. Sub- tract your age then multiply the remainder by seven and divide the result by 10. The figure you obtain is the approximate number of years you might live. In case you don t have enough years left to suit you, start getting all you can out of life and do all you can for others. Intimate Glimpses of Industry THE RELUCTANT BUILDING Gordon Calder arrived last week- end from Dawson Creek with heavy jacks and equipment to move the IHC building out to new location at Carignan Motors service station at south-west corner of town on the highway north of the railway tracks Hethad to drive around by Watino since there was no ferry at Dunvegan By Wednesday the building was up on timbers and wheels and it spent the day out on main street in sagging floorless condition, when some difficulties arose in process of turning it around. Along toward evening it moved westward with some extra timbers added to cure twists and, bulges. Bud Ross steer- ed and pulled with his truck in front while one of his cats shov- ed at the other end. Said Ross to foreman Calder, Have they got that cat tied on back there? Have I got to drag it too? Art Exhibit at High School Latest travelling display of paint- ings by Alberta artists is on exhib- it this week at Fairview where it has found a happy location this time at the- high school. Two pre- vious displays have been at the hall, but to move to the school building makes certain that all stu- dents will have ample opportunity to study these examples of work by Alberta artists.
