too I do a lot of reminiscing re the days and years that are now past In the earlier years of this century a person entered a profession or vocation with the Idea of not only earn Ing a fair living but also trying to make some worthwhile contribution to society at large by way of the service he might ren dor Hoi Work tor An Honest Day s Pay was a common slogan at that time and in spite of all of the affluence of It seems to mo that society just cannot stand prosperity within reasonable bounds The recent crisis created almost over night by what seems to be an entirely unjustified increase In the cost of living bears out this claim of mine One of the areas where this la most evident Is of course Quite clearly too it Is not In most cases the fault of the producer For years now the farmer has not been receiving a fair return for his products of the soil or livestock Indeed oftentimes his cost of Input has been ter than the returns of output The tragic result has been thai at pre sent farms are being closed out at the rate of one every 43 minutes of every day of the year He the farmer has to retire to live on a par with most other sections of society On the other hand no young person unless he has plenty of financial backing to begin with can even begin to start farmer Let us put the blame for the higher cost of living where it belongs and thai with both the wholesaler the distributor and the retailer For instance Canada Packers re cently reported that for the 13 week period ending June 30 last profit was as compared with for the same per iod of The per share profit was as against for two periods Early in the season of pea was brought into The price paid in Vlneiand Si per quart has which was sold In the Royal City for A royal price surely Locally we i to admit that there has been unwarranted profiteering in food stuffs A couple of months ago my wife and I did some shopping in a super market in Acton I was intr by the fact that there had been a storewide reappraisal of prices of items in stock For Instance a pot of Jam bad been Increased price no less Ihnn eight cents while a box of cereal had been prlccu up ward two cents Other could be quoted here The crux of the matter Is this a profit was going to be made on the orlg inal markings The markups represented unjustified profiteering The problem facing a young married couple with regard to purchasing a home these days is not by any means a minor one Our home bought four years ago could be sold for cent more than was paid for it then Steadily escalating are taking us to the place where fifteen or twenty dollars will not buy what one dollar years ago with respect to real estate purchases This altitude of every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost causes me a great deal of heartache for many of my fellow senior citizens who are as fortun ate as I happen lo be There something radically wrong with our present situation when on old lady who Is a tea lover has to put back on the store shelf a packet of tea bags which was just beyond her allowance That happened I am told in the store pre viously mentioned Had I known her name she certainly would have found a packet of lea at her door You sec all this adds up to our failing to live according to our previously accepted ideal of the rule As you would men should do to you do you en so to them FISH CHIPS STORE HAS
