THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1948 +HE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Work and Wages Reach New Records Across Canada ®Payrolls Total $82,637,144 For Month of July Ottawa, Sept. 16 (CP)--The index to industrial em- ployment hit a new high at July 1 and average weekly earnings of employees climbed to a new peak, the Bureau of Statistics reported today. The 19,043 leading employers in the eight major indus- trial divisions co-operating in the bureau's monthly survey of employment and payrolls reported they had 2,040,283 em- ployees at July 1. This was an increase of 2.4 per cent over June 1. The payrolls totalled $82, 637,144, an increase of 3.7 over the previous month. Based on the 1926 average ofé 100, the general index number of employment stood at 197.0 as com- pared with 1923 at June 1 and 1895 at July 1, 1947. The 1939 figure was 115.8. "The latest index is the highest in the record for July," said the bureau. "The indicated increase in employment as compared with the period of intensified activity during the war is due to improye- ment in the non-manufacturing classes, while that shown in com- parison with other years results from general expansion in both manufalturing and non-manufac- turing industries. "While the erpansion was seasons able in character, the percentage gain in Canada as 'a whole was slightly above the average for the time of the year." All provinces felt some of the upward trend. There were pro- nounced increases at July 1 in manufacturing, notably in food- processing, lumber, pulp and paper and iron and steel plants, Among the non-manufacturing divisions, the movement was favor- able in logging, mining, communi- ations, transportation, construc- @- and maintenance, hotels and estaurants, and in retail and wholesale trade. The most note-- worthy gain was that of 7.9 per cent in construction. This gain from June 1 was below the normal gain of previous years. Except in logging, the expansion was generally seasonal in character. In that industry, an increase atthe beginning of July is unusual, though not without. precedent. The improvement in transportation was less than average, while the gains in the remaining major industrial groups approximated the average for the time of year. The average weekly wage per employee in the eight leading in- dustries was $40.50, as compared with $40.02 at June 1. The aver- age has increased steadily from $2549 in 1941 when the bureau first began keeping payroll records. Firms Allot Shirt Prices, Board Told Ottawa, Sept. 15--(CP)--A Mon- treal department store official says the reason shirt manufacturers sometimes indicate retail prices is to protect small retailers. John Senegal, manager of the men's furnishings department of Dupuis Freres, made that assertion before the Prices Commission Wed- nesday after testifying two of the larger manufacturers put tags on shirts they send his firm. The commission continues study of shirt costs today. * Mr. Senegal said firms like Tooke Brothers and John Forsyth Ltd., sometimes put tags on their shirts nd his firm usually adheres to ¢: prices, In another case, that Cluett-Peabodys, there were no tags but the salesmen sometimes suggested what the price should be. The manufacturers sought by these methods to protect their smaller outlets. That was the rea- son it was possible to get, say, a Tooke shirt all across .Canada at the same price. The Dupuis firms usual markup on cost of a shirt was from 50 to 55 per cent but there were cases when it went well below this for quick turnover. That was the case with a shirt sold recently for $2.98 at a markup of 27 per cent com- pared to 26.5 per cent overhead costs. Another witness, H. A, Hender- son, manage: of T. Eaton Co. Ltd., shirt factory, said its production was going up again after a consid- erable drop. Production this year already was almost equal to the 1947 total. v its York, England.-- (CJ)--Everyone requires a holiday in the opinion of Archbishop Garbett of York.

TOO MUCH POWER Toronto, Sept. 16 -- (CP) -- This capital city of Ontario isn't cutting down its consump- tion of electricity sufficiently under the provincial power- saving restrictions, Mayor Mc- Callum said today. He said that if consumption isn't cut more, pulsory restricti will have to be introduced. Toronto is limited to 5,250,000 kilowatt hours a day. Tuesday, first day of restrictions, it used 5,306,000 or 56,000 over the quota. Last Thursday, before restrictions, the city used 5,600,000. ENROLMENT DROPS Toronto, Sept. 16--(CP)--An es- timated 15,000 students were ex- pected by the University of Toronto as registration started Wednesday. With most of the eligible student veterans already started, a smaller first year enrolment was largely responsible for the drop of about 2,000 from last year. STARLINGS A PROBLEM Toronto, Sept. 16 -- (CP) -- While Alderman Leonard Reilly didn't know hew to get rid of starlings, nearly everyone else on the Toronto Board of Con- trol had a suggestion to make. Skyrockets and shotg came first to mind and Controller David Balfour even suggested building a skyscraper for them to bump into like they've been doing in New York. Dairy Groups Urge 8 Cents Butter 1 Hike 'Toronto, Sept. 16--(CP)--Repre- sentatives of four Ontario dairy or- ganizations announced Wednesday they willl seek to increase milk prices one cent a quart, buetter eight cents a pound, and cheese, four cents a pound, The increases must be approved by the Prices Board before: going irto effect. At a meeting here Tuesday re- presentatives of the Ontario Whole Milk Producer's League, the Ontar- io Cheese Producers' Association, the Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers' Association, and the On- tario Cream Producers' Association approved a resolution calling for a 10-cent-a-pound increase in but- terfat prices. The resolution read: "We deplore along with consumers the continued spiralling prices and regret with them that due to increased costs, and to get sufficient production to supply the needs of consumers, there must be a general increase in the dairy industry, namely 10 per cent per pound on butter fat." --- New Remedy Astounds!

Two New York Irishmen Head U.N.'s By CHARLES A. GRUMICH Paris, Sept. 16--(AP)--A pair of New York Irishmen are carefully "casing" a French palace high above the Seine. It's all for security rea- sons, Their job is to provide the screen of security around the delegations to the United Nations Assembly open- ing Sept. 21 in the Palais De Chail- lot, which looks out on the Place Du Trocadero, They are John J. Cos- grove, Acting Chief of the U. N. Se- _ | curity Force and leader of the In- ternational Police Force that went to Palestine to patrol the truce, and Denis Casey, his Sergeant of The Guard, Cosgrove, who has been called the world's No. 1 cop, packs the author- ity. Casey is the linguist on the two- man team which will direct the French uniformed force assigned to keep the internal security. None of the rest.of Cosgrove's U. N. headquarters force will be here for the Paris assembly. Most of the 66 will be catching up on vacations that were disrupted when 48 of them went to Palestine Six of them are still somewhere in the Holy Land, where one of the 49 was killed on the first overseas police mission undertaken by the U. N. Both Cosgrove and his assistant are war veterans of the ready-and- able type. Their problem physically is to protect the delegates from 53 countries against harm In the maze oi corridors that is the Chaillot Pa- ace, i Paris Police The palace itself is a bisected overlooking the Seine. It was built on the brow of the Trocadero Hill overlooking theSeine.. It was built for the 1878 International Exhibi- tion and rebuilt in 1937 for the World's Fair of that year. x The main theatre of the palace, far below the Trocadero level, is the hall for the U. N. plenary ses- sions. Though somewhat smaller, it is being made into an almost exact duplicate of the Flushing Meadow assembly hall in New York. The assembly covers 'about 10 acres and will accommodate around 4,500 people connected with the U. N. They will be set apart from the rest of the world with immunity from arrest on the grounds and other privileges, France is spending more than $3,000,000 and is even in- stalling elevators and a unique tele- phone system. One tentative seating plan calls for moving the press correspondents from their regular gallery seats into delegation seats and putting the public spectators into the press rows.

GILLESPIE, Manager providing a convenient Dietary Report Shows Too Few Get Vitamin C Toronto, Sept. 16 (CP).--A survey made by dietary experts of the To- ronto. General Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children has re- vealed a great percentage of Cana- dian adults and children get too little vitamin C during winter months. A study of Toronto families showed only five per cent of the children and 33 per cent of the adults surveyed were getting the minimum daily requirements of the vitamin, Previous surveys In five Canadian cities showed the vitamin shortage was most common in families with low incomes. They showed that 70 per cent of the families with diets short of vitamin C had incomes of between $1,500 and $2,500 a year. Only four reasonably priced Cana- dian foods contain even moderate amounts of vitamin C: Cabbage, turnips, tomatoes and potatoes that haven't been stored too long. The survey, reported in the cur- rent issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, was made by Dr. Elizabeth Robertson and Mar- Enfield W.A. Is Entertained By Mrs. W. Ferguson MRS.
