pe - $2.80 now costs us $4 per hundred. Be -- it's here at last -- cold, stormy weather--and how much we ould like to know if it is here to stay. We would know then what to do about a number of things, Whether to shut up the pullets for good, and whether the cows - should be stabled--they have all been running out so far in the hope 'that we might cut down a little on the feed bill, Oh, that feed billl Four bags of laying mash that cost _ $10.80 in September is now $15, and fattening mash that used to be And yet the price .of eggs and chickens has dropped, Dairy con- eentrate, without a doubt, is cor- sespondingly high but so far we haven't bought any. Buying con- centrate, supposedly, increases the. milk flow, but then what a farmer gets for the extra milk is used up paying for the cencentrate, The same applies to poultry and poul- try feed. How long farmers can continue to rob" Peter to pay Paul is questionable. Rumor has it that milk is due for another price in- crease. We would much.rather sce the price of milk stay where it is and some of the thing§ we have to buy go down. * + Te How long families with small fixed incomes can stand the high cost of living is something we are" all wondering. However, I read the other day that according to statistics we have just about reach- ed the saturation point, I don't pretend to know much about it but I like that expression--*the satura- tion point." It sounds as if a huge, dry sponge had been thrown into our economic set-up and was ab- _sorbing the life-blood of the nation. But now if the saturation point has been reached, or nearly so, then a change must ¢ome and it would seem that the sponge must' be squeczed to release to the public some of that life-blood that has been so greedily absorbed. Which is worse, I wonder, aus- terity or inflation? An austerity program such as Britain is experi- encing today is hard on everyone-- but yet that same fact creates'a common bond of sympathy. Peo- ple have a way of realizing, that many have troubles greater than | their own and they set about try- ing to help each other if they can. ' PEE Inflation produces. inequality and discontent, Those who already have much, get more; thosé with little, get less--and if there is a surer way to breed discontent I have yet to meet it. There is also dis- trust, jealousy, and certainly = great deal of ignorance concern- ing the other fellows' problems among the various types of wage earners, Farmers lose * patience with striking industrialists; wage earners have an idea farmers are sitting pretty, living off the fat of the land with little or no expense. ~White collar men_ consider their. |: inadequate salary--at least, to them --and figure they would be better off laying bricks, Store: keepers, builders and plumbers grumble at the high cost of trucking, truckers complain at what they must pay for tires, licence, insurance, repairs and labor. . + O% * And housewives--well, there is no limit to their budget worries. However, no more sigar rationing certainly gives us a wonderful break. I have a feeling it won't please "the bakers quite so well.

Home-made brown sugar syrup comes in very handy at times, and is much cheaper than corn syrup.

Here Princess Elizabeth places a cross on the London Field of Remembrance while her fiance watches. One of the most heart-moving stories we have read in many a moon was the piece by Billy Rose about the man and wife who were list- ening to the voice on the radio; telling them to forget the war and. get With that the phone rang. It was their -son about to be discharged from the army. He wanted to bring a chum home. with him. They had been * through a lot together. Seems like the son's friend lost a leg and an arm, and he wanted to bring him home until he got adjusted. Well, ' the father felt that the boy should 80 to veterans' hospital as that was the best place for him. The son said okay if it would be too much trouble and hung up the phone. The next morning the par- ents. received 'a telegram saying that their son had committed sui- cide. They couldnt understand it. Not until two days later, when the back to normal, understood then, There was an arm and.a leg missing. You should get the point of this. If you don't, we) imagine it is because we have lous- ed up the re-telling of it so much. New Club To Start Soon We note in the Jarvis Record, that the young people are trying to organize a Teen Club. A meet- ing for this purpose was held two weeks ago. We hope that when the club gets going, they will appoint a correspondent for. Teen-Town Topics, so that we can keep posted on the happenings down there. Jarvis Gals Can Plow. - While on. the subject of Jarvis, we would like to mention a gal from that town that can hop on a trac- tor and plow a. furrow as straight as . . . well anyway very straight. Her name is Vera Jaques and she won the championship in her class | at the International Plowing Match-- at Kingston a few weeks ago. Only 17, Vera is.as much at home in a pair of slicks and riding a tractor as she is in the kitchen of her home, wearing an apron. Another girl who swon honours for herself was Joyce 'Toner of Napanee. 15 year old Joyce was 'the favourite subject of the photographers at the match, You're Right Joe Joe E. Brown, the famous film' comedian, recently wrote an art- icle for a church periodical called, "Thank God for Laughter". It was a moving piece of literary work. In this story Joe said real ambi- ..tion is not wanting. It means lov- ing the thing you are doing, lov- ing it enough to work, and call that work play. Well chosen words, Joe, and we pass them along to the kids who read this column and hope that they. will digest all you say. If you wish to . read Joe's story, look up the Oct. 1st; issue of the United Church Observer. TEEN-TOWN REPORTERS Plattsville ~-- Edith Hall -- Hi" everybody, A week ago our Hi Crowd held a Hallowe'en Party. Those goblins, 'witches .and unex- pected, uninvited ghosts surely made certain that we would get our share of Trightening scares. The kids had a genuine House of Horrors, We walked; up boldly to thé door and after being hoodwinked, stepped 'blindly into af electric wire to feel a shock charge gerrily through our bodies. We came out with sticky porridge up .to our cars and body of their son wurrived. They TEEN-TOWN TOPICS By BARRY MURKAR elbows. Many parents and friends gathered to watch the colourful procession of chicks and chucks parading in the grand march be- fore the judges, while the Platts- ville Continuation School orchestra played. Prize winners were chosen from the masqueraders. Kisses (in paper) were sold and fortunes were told. Sweet apple cider and deli- cious dopghnuts were served. No wonder the kids straggled home- ward. Bye for now, -- Edith, Parry Sound -- Audrey Harris-- On Friday , October 31st, the executive was elected for the new Archery Club started in our-school by Neil McNaughton. Neil 'is pre- sident, Jim Wier is vice-president (Jim's father has a summer resort near here and has a 28-target archery course). Audrey 'Harris, your correspondent is Secretary- Treasurer. Most of the members have had. no experience: brother is going to make the bows and arrows, and being an experi- enced archer, is going to offer in- struction. The club has about fifty members. Friday, October 31st, the Fri-Nite Club held its masquerade Dance. The best costumes were worn by Shirley Christenson in a "Gay. Ninety's" costume and. Ross Bagam in silk hat and tails, Win- ners of contests were: Ed McGill, apple bobber; Mary Lou McMaster and Morris Lamore won the dance with a potato on a spoon. Lunch was 'served and we danced until one a.m., thoroughly enjoying our- selves all the time. 3 "med with Jim's One of the sad parts about all these soaring prices is the fact that Chirstmas is approaching faster than most of us like to think about. The Christmas present dollar, which never seems to go very far anyway, is slated to go a shorter way than ever this scason, All of which, naturally, turns many women to thoughts of hand- made Chrishmas presents. Those covered wooden bowls that" hubby's shaving soap comes in needn't be discarded as useless. For instange, with paint or enamel, they make quaint powder holders for the dressing table--the inex- pensive gift with the personal touch that means so much. The same lit- tle bowls, shining with fresh paint, also can act as containers for hooks, buttons and other small sei- ing gadgets, A plain wooden box, which the man of the house could whip to- gether in short order with a few tools, can become an artistic de- corative container for a package of facial tissues. A slot cut length- wise through the cover allows iwith- drawal of the tissues. Finished in a single appropriate color or trim- a stencilled or haand- painted design, such a gift might well grace the dressing table of a friend. Then there are bottles, Fancy shaped and gaily painted gift bot- tles are selling at premium prices these days, but think of all the dozens of shapes the bottles in which you get your jam, pickles and other foods. At comparatively little cost you can decorate them handsomely to make attractive addi- tions to anyone's china cabinet-- particularly after they have fitted with smart stoppers which can be purchased from the hardware store. The possibilities are endless when - you start to think about them. Flower pots and wall-holders for flower pots are popular in colors. 80 too are such personalized gifts as hand-painted shoe-trees, towel SOME HOME-MADE DECQQEEEN CHRISTMAS PRESENTS 1 sacky, clothes' hanger and hat stands Small wall brackets, bookends, tables, trays are all things that can be purchased in unpainted form and finished at home. bookcase S, Yes, Christmas shopping is going to be an expeysive proposition this year but at least some of the cost can be offset with a little ingenu- ity and modest outlay for paint and some work which is practically 1009% fun. cold- Vicks VapoRub.
