------------ or 23000 eT PL FEF EN BO ! Thursday, September 12th, 1957 NOTES AND Fight Against Inflation COMMENTS Throughout the United States individual organizations have been set up with the express purpose of fighting inflation. These organizations are headed by public spirited business men and widely supported by both labour and ordinary consumers. Apparently the program in the various or- ganizations follows much the same general pattern. Members are encouraged to fight ~ price increases. - Business men do this by refusing to take advantage of wage in- creases to add to profits; labour accepts responsibility by steering clear of wild de- mands for wage hikes. Wherever prices seem to be out of line there is a boycott of the over priced article. The organizations also work to curb irresponsible governmen- tal spending and taxing. They urge that wages and salaries should be keyed to the cost of living index. But the real offenders with regard to soaring prices are the large corporations and the big trade unions. They really set the pace and their decisions with regard to wages and profits determine the line to which all business must eventually hew. So far General Motors and the Union of Automobile workers have failed to demon- "The armament race has taken a new twist. When the Soviet calmly announced that it now possessed inter-continental nu- clear guided missiles the fat was in the fire. For years it had been assumed that the United States led the world in guided missile research. However, the best that strate that they: are seriously concerned with rising costs. 'Walter Reuther of the Union has issued a verbal statement to the effect that if the large automobile manu- facturers are willing to'lower the price of their cars the Union might be in a posi- tion to gear théir demands for 1958 in ac- cordance with the effect that it might have on profits, The response of General Mo- tors clearly indicated that the company considers its profits its own business and strongly resents any attempt by the Union to set prices. This is hardly the way to fight inflation. If the large corporations and the big unions are not prepared to look at the problem realistically, prices will con- tinue to soar with every increase in wages. In the building trades, the unions have built-in clauses regarding wage increases and these have acted to slow up the entire industry. Building costs already high, threaten to become prohibitive. Contrac- tors are hesitant to plan further projects and some large contractors have .volun- tarily retired from the building game. Some have gone broke. In the meantime " the cost of living continues to go up. ~ A Childish Approach to World Problems tioned the fact that such a statement bold- ly assumed that the Soviet hadn't yet been able to mass produce the missiles. They made dignified statements about new and important discoveries; they asserted that nothing could keep us back from achiev- ing superiority over the Russians and more depression; but we are convinced that any attempt to stave off a depression by substituting easy money for the adjustments that a depression would compel us to make would only make matters worse, } --~Canadian Statesman.

The motto-- We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. Mrs. Rometil gave the current events and a few highlights on their recent trip to the Adirondacks, ete. Mrs. VanCamp gave two short readings, All were intersperced by community singing. The high light of the even- ing was the very interesting address by Mrs. W. Brown, Maple Grove, (the District President); a few of her thoughts were: Let us be the first to give a friendly sign, to nod first, to speak first, and if necessary to for- give first. Let us instil enthusiasm, action and faith. Believe in God, in people, in yourself, and in so doing you will build a community in which it is good to live. The future of the the branch will be an influence to the future of the province and the Domin- ion. Life is to be lived widely and deeply as possible. Greater values put before the lesser one. The know- ledge of having given happiness to others, satisfaction from duty well done, well adjusted social relation- ships make for true happiness and success in all our endeavours. After the "thank you's" had been expressed and the meeting closed, a dainty lunch was served by the group and a social time enjoyed by the 27 ladies present. Rt. Wor.

We got the impression that they were terrified of what might happen to our morale if we ever suspected that the Soviets with its nefarious government had outsmarted them. But our morale is more hurt by their childish reaction to the latest piece of Soviet propaganda than by the gist of that very propaganda.

Top price of 'the day was $1.61 per pound, paid by Cox's Meat Market of Streetsville, for the grand champion steer, Benny, an Aberdeen Angus shown by L. V. Wright of Streetsville.

The aver- age price was 256.23 cents per pound, which was well above the going rate for choice steers, which has been around 19.50 to 20 cents. The sale rated with the cattlemen as a good one and brought out more animals than last year. Most of the steers were selling for 22.60 to 28 cents per pound, but Aberdeen Angus brought slightly higher returns. ce.
