The speaker pre- faced her address with a few remarks to stress the importance of conventions as a source of help, There are two essentials to the success of any Institute, first a sincere interest in the home and community and second taking an active part in community life. A community is comprised of the home and church. We can im- prove our attitude toward our work by putting ourseives into it, by not getting to a rut, by vary- îng the meetings in content and procedure, by getting the back- ward ones to contribute by actu- ally taking part or acting on their suggestions. In each home, be it ever s0 humble, there are some 1thîngs we ail can do. We can en- courage education in the reading of books, discussion of current topics, appreciation of music and a cheerful disposition and dlean- liness of body and soul which are to be rated above ail else. Mrs. Werry stressed that old saying "the oniy things we have are what we give away" and pointed out how very true it is.

DEIJKA M 1 (Midland Free Press) Breakdown of wage and price controls in the United States and Canada has produced the infia- tionary spiral of which we have been warned so much in recent years. It is already proving clisastrous to the earning power of ail work- ers, and those on fixed. salaries are seeing their purchasing power dwindling steadily downward. In the United States the cost of living index has advanced 44 per cent since pre-war days and in Canada, where controis have been more ioyally accepted by the peo- pie, the cost of liNing is up 25 per cent. Every day sees new strikes for higher wages to meet steadily increasing prices of consumer commodities, and every day these prices are moved up to correspond with the higher costs induced by such wage increases as are grant- ed. We are in the throes of a vicious circle, an infiationary whiriwind. Al. hurricanes finally blow themselves out, but seidom with- out doing immense damage and ruining many people. There is no human power that can stop them. Inflationary *cyclones can be brought to a hait, however, if hu- man beings can be made to see that the only certain and satis- factory way to balance wages against prîces is to produce more and more goods. Once there are ample supplies of commodities available prices automatically be- corne stabilîzed. But for the strike waves and consumer iawlessness which have swept across the American con- tinent it is altogether probable that reconversion wouldi have been pretty well completed by this time. Instead of shortages everywhere and in everything, most good would have been ini supply. Employment, particular- ly in those industries where steel and coal figure -jargely, wouid have been at a higher level. Au- tomobiles would be available now instead of in '1947 and 1948. In the past defiation has mnev- itably followed inflation. Wîth it came mu¶ch unemployment and suffering, as well as wage reduc- tion. Today we are on a highei wage and price level. We shal] probably stay there, but the very rise necessitated in the seiling oi ail goods may destroy an amazing opportunity for Canada to be come a great exporting nation.
