Chief Game Warden Addresses
Matsqui Game Association

Messrs. Bryan Williams and Sergt
Cunningham of the Provincial Game
Board addressed a meeting of Mats-
qui Game Protective Association last
Thursday, and, among other matters,
asked the deputy wardens to rigidly
enforce the law relative to European
partridge and hen pheasants, in the
interests of game protection.

Pheasants are reported plentiful on
Matsqui prairie and uplands this year,
although they were considerably
thinned out by the first day’s gunning,
Several bag limits of five cocks are
reported, but ducks were scarce as
Was expected. Many strangers came
into the local district to hunt this
year, about 200 game jlicenses of var-
ious Kinds having been issued by Con-
stable Renner, and an equal number
by Constable Herdman and Game
Warden Williams.

Ducks were more plentiful on Su-
mas than at Matsqui, and several bag
limits of these fowl were obtained by
a few hunters other than the barnyard
“sportsmen” in the private sanctuar-
jes. Pheasants were abundant on
opening day, atid Sumas prairie area
Swarmed with dozens of “outside”
hunters from United States and Coast
points, as also scores of local residents
“not a feather left’ on Sumas was the
Teport Tuesday night. But the wily
“Chinks”—those that survived, and
there's plenty of them—will come down
from hill retreats in a few days 10
again enjoy the succulent grain feeds
available on Sumas. And later in the
year, vast swarms of northern ducks
will “come in” as they have for ages
past.

WHAT THE TOWN DOCTOR
SAYS ABOUT BUYING AT HOME

A few years ago the people of Abbots-
ford and surrounding territory Had to
buy from you, or go without. As you
know only too well, that is not now the
case. Good roads and motor cars,
magazines, metropolitan papers and
radios, plus frée mail delivery, has
changed all that. e .

Today people can get anything they
want or need from whom and whence
they please—not only can, but do. They
can get it from you, but whether they
do or not depends on you. In practi-
cally eyery community we hear; “Out-
side advertising is enticing our people”
“Competition of combines is taking cur
business”. Maybe this is true, but
what are you doing to counteract it?

As.an excuse and alibi for lack of
business thousands of merchants say,
“People don’t buy like they used. to”.
That absolutely true—people don't
buy as they used to, But how about
you—do you still “sell “like you used
to?” Why should people stick to the
old, humdrum, weekly “traidin’” when
shopping and buying are now made
such a pleasure? © Why go to a funeral
when a festival is on?

If other stores invite the people and
give them a reason why they should buy
from them, of course your coustomers
are going to accept the invitation at
least once. Then, if those extending
the invitation sell and serve as today’s
buyers like to be sold and served, ‘they
will continue to accept the-repeated in-
vitation, You would do it yourself
under similar circumstances,

Still the average man and woman, by
far the majority of the people in Ab-
botsford, would rather do business with
you, and they will do business with you
if you will profit by the experience of
others. That is not idle talk, but a
fact based on human nature, backed
up by actual proof obtained from the
people themselves in every section of
the country. But, you must have a
“reason why”, and that reason must be
kept before the people all the time.

Say to yourself, “Why do people buy
elsewhere’’? Ask yourself, “Why
should the people of Abbotsford buy
from me what I have to sell, in prefer-
ence to my competitor?” Answerboth
of these questions—they must be an-
swered not only by yourself, but to your
customers, if you are going to continue
in business and keep out of the red.

Business goes to the place where i

rict when the first was
made. These herds comprised
47,000 animals. There are now a-
bout 103,000 milking cows in British
Columbia and half of them are in the
Fraser Valley district, which is em-
braced in this T. B. free area,

An enjoyable dance was held in the
Bradner community hall last week.

Proceeds amouted to $60.

ited—you can't expect business if
you don’t ask for it

Business stays in the place where it is
well treated, backed up with an inyjta-

“| where it is served best, and where th
invitation to profit from such service
‘is kept constantly in the forefront.

| Your newspaper is your ally—use it

tion to continue the pleasure of such
treatment.
Business comes back to the placo|s
