This slogan for national Farm Safety Week is well worth rem cm bering e te ry week of the year! ialr- -in At long last Federal Trade Commission has launched a full scale investigation of couponing practices. And in doing so, FTC has invoked seldom used compul sory process to get information from a few huge corporations who have been using the coupon ing -method to drive out Indepen dent regionall competition t steamroller drive that moves from city to city. The back ground Is inter esting. In Sep tember 1953, Sen. James Duff, heading C.W. Harder ub committee of Senate Small Business Committee asked FTC to report on course being taken to probe couponing practices. Of course, the monopoly inves tigation branch of the FTC has been the heaviest cut, although the agency seems to find plenty of time to read over a half mil lion radio and television commer cials annually, even though evi dence is- strong public doesn't place too much credibility in any non-printed advertising claims. But for whatever reason Sen ate Small Business Committee found FTC was not getting the evidence. The National Federa tion of Independent Business was asked to gather data. On the basis of this data Sen. Edward Thye, committee chair man, called on FTC for action now. In annauncing FTC is pro ceeding on matter, Chairman Edward Howrey stated FTC is being forced to use compulsory processes against several big corporations to get more facta. The facts about couponing are many. For example, an indepen dent regional soap maker or flour miller, may be doing a fine Kitluntl Federation of Independent Rustnesl Job In some metropolitan market to distress of big national opera tors who even with their huge na tional campaigns cannot dislodge independent competition. So these corporations give away their merchandise by mail ing coupons to all householders offering a cutprice with the cou pon. These coupons are carried at a loss to the U. S. Post Office to every home in area selected. No Independent regional man ufacturer can stand this pres sure, because unlike the big firm seeking to drive him out, be doesn't have customers all over nation who are paying for give aways in a special local market. In fact, these Investigations may establish that people In non-metropolitan areas are paying an excessive price for these nation al products to build big corpor ation war chests needed to knock off Independent regional compe titors one by one, city by city. In addition, couponing prac tice has reached a point where by several large corporations will get together to include coup ons for their respective products in one mailing. Some are enclosing In their packages a coupon good for cut price purchase of an Item put out by another packing giant. Thus there appears to be at high corporation level a club which might be called LJWOJIC Club, which spelled out means "Let's Jointly Wreck Our Joint Inde pendent Competition." Start of FTC action against big Interests is no guarantee to early successful conclusion. But on this issue both Senate and House Small Business Com mittee as well as independent businessmen will be looking over FTC shoulder because survival cf Independent regional manu facturing Is at stake.

Rcddy Kilowatt, your "Electric Hired Hand", once again urges you to be careful and to observe Farm Safety Week each of the 32 weeks throughi , out the year! PACIFIC POWEft & LIGHT COMPANY Safety Strips Urged For Farm Equipment Campaign by 4-H and FFA members to apply reflector strips on all farm equipment will get underway in Oregon during na-; tional farm safety week, July 25 j to' 31. Al Bauer, chairman of the governor's farm safety committ tee, said the project will continue throughout the year. Actually applying the reflective material is a part of the "lite farm equipment" safety project, Bauer said. The Oregon campaign is part of a nation-wide activity of the national safety council's farm division. All reflectors sold by the 4-H and FFA members will bear the green cross of the safety council. Burton S. Hutton, state 4-H leader, said distribution to 4-H members will be handled through county leader associations. FFA members will get their materials through district advisory councils, according to Ralph Morgan, state FFA advisor. The Oregon state traffic safety division has given support to the program according to Bauer, tie pointed out that Oregon law now requires all farm equipment on roads to be lighted with head lights and tail light. The reflec tor strips will make a good sup plement and will add to the safety. The safety council advises that reflector strips be placed at the outer edges of the rear of equip ment so the entire width will be visible to motorists.
