To keep track of changes thi Bureau not only relies on prici reports from. storlekeepers, bu uses information fromn thei: regional sotups. And don't thinl for a minute that representative fail to visit small centres for tha purpose. They do, definitely. Questions of Quality Mom complains about change in quality, deterioration of cioth ing and home furnisbings, notice able in our wartime economy Well, the Bureau thinks of tha too and treats the reduction ir quality as if it were a prîco in. crease o 'f the samne amount. You can see for yourself thai thoy can't get direct prico quota. tions on every item in the f amil3 budget, but what they do is gel the typical, and "weigbt" thoSE prices sufficiently to cover ail' items in any group. To get a slant on the probiemE iet's look at foods. Many foodE have a wide seasonal price fluctu- ation as you know. Thon, again, ail vegetables aren't sold on a weight basis. Some are sold. in bunches, and se the price may vary according to the quantity. If some "average" system wasn't adopted, the index wouid cor- tainly be "less" than " more" ac- curate. What they do is pick roprosentatiÏve pricesi month-to- month, whiêh includes some 44 food items amounting to just about 75 per cent of the total cost How Much for a Hat? Well, now we come to, such itoms as clothing. This brings up another diffiCult problemn and no fooling, it's an erratie thing. You know what it's like yourself. You've gone in and beugbt a ladies' bat for say $4.95. Sure anough ,a montb later (to save carrying it over into winter) you see it advertised to clear at $2.98. It does happen with dresses, coats and other items. Therefore. the Bureau, and rightly, bas selected a smaller list of soin' 29 clotbing items of fairiy standard construc- tion whicb have no pronounced soasonal movoments. These items represent ail the more important materials in making clothing, sucb as cotton, wool, rayon, rub- ber, leather. Just one more thing. Income taxes are not inciuded in the reckoning of the cost of living in- dex. These taxes do not affect pricos, aithougb they do, of course reduce the amount available for spending. The wbole idea of bav- ing an income tax is so that every- one can contribute ta the cost of the war according to their ability te pay. If income taxes were in- cluded in the cost-of-living index, that would raise the cost-of-liv- ing bonus. And those people who get the bonus would thereforo get their tax, or most of it, paid back to tbem. But some people- farmers, smail proprietors, do- mostic servants, etc.--don't get the bonus, so tbey would net get any tax back. You cani.soc how unfair that weuld ho. Minister 0f Health Aims At Low Insurance Dr. R. P. Vivian, Ontario Min- ster of Health, said, in addressing ameeting in Kitchener last week, bhat hoe hopod througb somo form of low-cost sicknoss insurance every citizen of the province would ho able te obtain medicai and surgical care and hospitaliza- ion." "The Government of Ontario intends te investigate the sickness insurance field," ho told the an- nual meeting of the North Water- loo Medical Society. A "re-or- ganization, of the funictions of the )ePartment of Healtb" was one of the "board principles of policy of the Provincial Government." Ho strossed that health insur- nce is a measure whicb can ar- [vo only through co-operation of th medical profession. "We have givon that co-operatien in the past and we will do so in the rture." -TT-T- - - - -S- -T- - - - - -4- B8 Salvation Army Drive it_______ 1.

In the Homo atmos- 'phere thore is a wholesome con- trol with ropression. The Home in Toronto is for girls; that in London is for boys; the Calgary Home carnies a mixed family of ýs from three te sevonteen yoars. At- -tention is given te bent and abil- -ity. Some attend the public or high scbools; others of retarded tmontality go te auxiliary sehools. rThore are a numbor whose par- - ents bave left them with us and disappeared. *t * Character Building Werk amongst our young peo- Spie includes the Sunday Sebool; Corps Cadets qualifying for local 1or commissioned officership; and a youth group wbich appeals te sthe 'toon ago. Durîng the holi- days a Vacation Sehool is held in many of our Corps. Scouts, Guides, Cubs and Brewnies in àmany Corps inculcate discipline, 1soundness of body, cleanness of mind, hîgh ideals, and the guard- îng of the seul. Summer Camps Last summer we gave 645 poor children ton days of pure delight at our Fresh Air Camp, Jackson's Point. Lake Simcoe, which bas accommodation for 150 childreui between 6 and 12 years. Five parties were arranged for girls and four for boys. At Sandy Hook, Winnipeg, we received 543 poor mothers and cbildren. A fow miles from Edmonton, Ai- berta, we bave a smaller Fresb Air Camp. In the Laurentians in Quoboc, and at London, Ontario, we are doing a similar work. Elementary instructions in swim- ming, nature study and hygione are givon. Thore are eariy ove- ning programs te which the child- ren contribute. Sunset Lodges F or Aged Ladies In our Sunset Lodges are gath- erod 183 oid ladies. Some, whon they come te us, only ask a place te die. But in the atmospbere of goodwiii and generous service the will te live returns, and many on- joy a few golden years. Officors with great patience and sweetnoss of charaçter are chosen for this work, since many of our guests are "problems" amongst their own people. Eventide Homes For Agod Mon We bave four Eventiclo Homes, caring for 191 old men, who range from the middle-aged physically disabled te those who are noar- ing the century mark. Tbey are from a wide range of callings, professional and business life, the pionoor, the farmer, the artisan, the laborer. Many are halo and hearty; somo are blind; others frail and full of faibles. But the atmospbere ef the home cem- municates a sense ef peace and serenity te alI. Rehabilitation Efforts During the past year Salvation Army Officers in Canada made 19,585 visits te prisons and police courts; 1,502 mon and women were committed te our care by magistratos; 6,715 prisoners were met on disebarge; 2,662 mon and women were rostored te their homos or former employment, or werk was found for them; 16,774 beds and meals were supplied te ex-prisoners; 9,573 received ma- tonial assistance; 6,818 visits wore made te prisonors' families or prospective employers; 2,668 ser- vices were hold in ponitentaries, at wbich 91,609 periodicais were distributed; 764 enquiries for missing friends were received, and 434 located.
