PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1974, WHITBY FREE PRESS 'Edi -u- "lTry it, y'ou'IýI ike *itI"" It's with mixed emotions that long residing citizens in Whitby watch work crews chop down trees, widen roads and busily construci new homes where once vacant fields and farmland stood. As with any Town one of the pains of growing is that the community often loses its esthetic charm and the lime of recognizing almost everybody you meet on the street is gone forever. But, time won't stand still and Whitby must grow or fail by the wayside as some of the neighibouring commun- ities have done. Residents who have been here a pou many years are concerned about what happens to the town and how carefully the growth will be planned. Fortunately you don't have to be a longtime resident to care what happens to Whitby. In fact, if you've been here a week you, might just get caught' up in the day- to-day activities in Whitby and flind yourself caring about what may happen tomorrow. The FREE PRESS cares about Whitby too, so we urge aIl new residents to take an active interest in what's going on. If you. have. a beef, or a compliment about something- in Whitby, send us a letter. If you feel like telling us what's happening in you r new neighbourhood, Write us an article, as West Lynde and Brooklin do every week. Drop around arnd see us at the paper, we'I1 give you a mini-tour and fil you in on Whitby's attractions- and there are many. In other words, get involved, and as the saying goes, "Try it, you'll ike it! " We're betting you'll like Whitby -- the people and the place. Lewis sabre rdtthing rnside or out-. side Parliament was able to convince Mr. Trudeaui to accept a tougher form of prices control board." Lewis said that both the Liberals and Conservatives opposed NDP efforts to strengthcen the laws affecting the board. "So the board continues to be a waste of tax payers' money because it is power- less as a result of Liberal and Tory concern for cor- porate power rather thian the needs of the Canadian people". Mr. Lewis gave Ogilvie Flour Mihîs as an example wlio had a profit of $6.4 million in the nine months ending Jan. 31, 1974, a 278% increase over the same period one year carier. Another example he gave was Maple Leaf Milîs with first quarter profits of $2.9 million compared to $ 1.1 million in 1973, an increase of 159%, which Lewis point- ed out was on top of a 1973 profit increase of 150%, "and that's not doing too badly, you know." Mr. Lewis aiso mentioned a tin of salmon which in. creased in price 5617 from Octodbr 1972 to March 1974 (74 cents to S51. 16). "Yet B.C. Packers, the major sal- Con't f rom Page 1 mon canner on both coasîs of Canada, scored profits uf $9.3 million dollars in I1973 conîpared with $3.1I million in 1972, a percentage increase of 203î percent."' He gave another example of a promninent Ontario food distributor ("Middleman"'). "M. Loeb . h...ad 1972 profits of just under une million dollars. In 1973, those profits leaped tu S1-4 million, an inqcrease of 148 percent. 1 defy anyone to show me how the Loeb chain improved their effic- iency by 148 percent." Mr. Lewis gave these rea- sons for wanting "a Prices Control Board with real powers to continually inves- tigate ail prices and monitor them with power to stop price increases wlien they arc unjustified." He also suggeste< "a two price systeni for basic com- niodities' a fair realistic price for Canadians, and a higlier one for export.
