He toid the House that the Wheat Board has continued to follow as usual marketing po- licy this season as in the past. The Board's quoted price for wheat has advanced approxi- mately eight cents per bushel since the sale to the U.S.S.R. and contracts with traditional customers have Keen comple- ted recently at the Board's quoted prices then current tor shipment during the crop year which ends next July 31. There is nothing new or unu- sual m that procedure. The Canadian Wheat Board has al- ways been prepared to sell to buyers wheat for forward deli- very at its current daily quot- ed prices, One of the “not: that aroused the anger of the Unit. ed States was that it had hoped to make substantial sales of wheat to Japan. The Canadians moved in and com- pleted I substantial sale to that country thereby doing the Americans out of a large sale. Japan has been thi, third largest regular "l,',h"'g, for Canadian wheat and mud- was determined to make its sale to Japan at a reasonable price, above the Russian price, but not " the high price level the Americans wanted to see established. _ The controversy between the countries arose be use the Americans said that than m effect had sold a large amount of wheat to the Soviet Union at five cents a bushel less than the world price and then sold wheat to the Japanese at the world price level. But the Canadian officials denied that the Russian deal was made under the world wheat price. Mr. Sharp told the House of Commons that the deal was made with Russia at the going world rates. Canada contends that the later sale lo Japan was made at prices set by the Wheat Board, which was determined to restrict price increases de- spite pressure from the US. The Canadians acknowledge that they are trying to peg the world wheat level. But in pleading guilty to that charge, they point out that the Wheat Board when prices sagged to a low level. sought to hold prices at a fair- ly reasonable level. It carried out that price stabilization successfully. Now that the pressures are on to let the prices skyrocket the Canadian Wheat Board again is operat- ing to maintain a stable world price Ind hopes to be equally successful. Meantime there was concern in Ottawa circles that the Iongshorernen's strike on the St. Lawrence might interfere with Canadian deliveries of wheat. The Federal Govern- ment was determined to act, if it became necessary. to ensure that wheat continued to move abroad through the St. Law- rence and other eastern ports, Mr, Alvin Hamilton. former Minister of Agriculture, voiced concern in the Commons about the danger of the strikes stop- ping Canada's deliveries of wheat. He called on Mr. Sharp not to depend just on the Wheat Board officials and other public Iervants to get the wheat moving but suggest- ed he call a conference of all interested organizations. Mr. Hamilton said such a proce» dure had worked tor him m 1961 when he had to get large quantities of wheat movxnz through the P-cilic port, to Red China. He was confident It would work for Mr. Sharp.

Metro Finance Commissioner Lacelles is being optomistic when he says civic tax rates will go up only for another IO years. It is more likely that they will never' go down permanently unless some new form of taxation is granted municipalities. It has been suggested that Metro build a sports stadium.

Well, let me tell you auout my five mund bout with the Globe and Mail circulation octopus, during which >ev- crll times I began to doubt my sanity.

I'd been dunning the u rang people -_. I thought. Oh. what an injustice Ill done. I um ready to gise up reading forever. But I still wasn't getting my morning paper and I needed it for company early in the morning whether I read it or not. So I looked up the Globe phone number in the directory and much to my chagrin found it to be the num- ber I'd been calling all along. I called once again and in as gentlemanly a manner as I could muster under the circumstances informed the circulation people that if there was no paper at my door the next morning. they could consider my home delivery cancelled. There would be a paper at my doorstep, ii she had to deliver it herself, the young woman who took the call vowed. And hy Neddie Dingo! there was a paper on the door- step the next morning, lying there all nice and black and white (except for the color ads) and ready to be read all over. I melted.

I stofmed to a sparrow that had just settled on the window sill. He left. - " fumed as I plotted revenge. I'd buy S2 worth oi lam" and send a photostat to the circulation dept.

Well. he would call me that day for sure. Somebody did. hut I never found out who it was. All he did ttits mutter "That's funny - are you sure you didn't get a paper this morning " He said this about six times then hung tip. This performance got me to thinking maybe the paper WAS being delivered and somebody was stealing it. A low type thief. one might say. I blinked. shook my head and M; "ft must be too early", I thought, “I'll It was 7:30, nearly two hours after (when it was delivered, that is).
