district n that prtcet are going up and up the rite in the cott of living and pneet of goodt are publicized but actually the other tide of the tlory it too often ignored different article of wool and rubber have ihown declmet in price the pait week pork beef and lamb prices are sliding down thii week at a retult of lower prices for livestock in the us lumber pneet are lowering important ar ticlet to the housewife margarine potatoes and shortening give a tug downward on the cott of living gasoline and fuel oil are dropped in price this week these price drops should affect the cost of living materially of courte but any hint of panic at the rite of pricet it quite unuttihed since last tpnng there hat been a 5 to 10x increase on a lot of consumer goods the cost of living today it 170 and will probably be 1 75 by february detpite the present declmet in food pricet due to the korean situation people have proven a little thoughtless in their immediate concern for rising cottt and these present lowering of prices should certainly be noted by the buying public not utt at a saving tn the budget but as an in dication of future price easing and stabilizing increased armament need not cause too much concern either since the defense program in creases the percentage of national income only from 3w to 7v while at the peak of the war it was 45 with prices well controlled even then experts tay that a price control program now would be foohth there cant be any effective price control without wage control and unions show no inclination to adopt that admmistra tion costt would be huge if price control were attempted and then dropped prices would take a leap skyward at the drop of controls those who have studied the situation fully and are not influenced solely by an individual aspect of prices advise from their longrange point of view that things are best now ust as they are bright outlook ontario- industrial expansion since the end of th wv hat bean the greatest in th

extensive growth alertness will lw constantly nihfssary however to secure our share tractor tactics several accidents have been apprehensively noted in the last three weeks in which one of the parties involved was a young lad who al though perhaps well taught in driving farm equipment certainly was not old enough to have a drivers license one young fellow ust 14 was involved m ttn accident as he drove a tractor tow mg a baler down the road wc saw another youngster who could not have been 12 years eld driving a tractor with a disc harrow behind he was accompanied by two other children younger than himself tractors may not be licensed but they are even more imposing than other cars on main roads although they travel slowly they should certainly be driven by someone competent and licensed to drive when they travel along roads where there is other traffic farm vehicles are oc casionally used instead of cars since they pay no gas tax when this occurs it seems that the driver should have a license even more as for working on the farm it seems such piacttce is a matter for the individual udgment of the farmer if he feels it s worth a chance on his own property that is hit derogative but def initely the public highway is a matter of public interest we wonder what rulings are made about these minors involved in accidents when they are actually driving illegally at far at a car goes any cjnver should be of responsible age in case of ac cidents what might happen to the owner of the tractor in case of a serious accident and suit for damages is something for every farmer to con template
