South Africans Pinch Pennies As Prices Rise Johannesburg, South Africa-- (OP)--The South African middle. income man, with a wifé and two children, since the end of the war has been eating away his wartime savings or, if he was or service, his gratuity and allotments in an at- tempt to maintain hi pre.war stan. dard of living, the cost of which is estimated to have risen about 69 per cent since 1939. The nest.eggs with which many middle-class South Africans ended the war have practically disappear. ed. They were used chiefly for dur. able or semi-durable goods--the de- posit on a house, 'a new car, furnl. ture. Now they are wondering what they can do next to make ends meét. The choice is clear--either to re. duce their standard of living con. siderably or to find a way to jp- crease an income between £ ($2,400) and £700 ($2,800) a year, which gave them a reasonable liv. ing in 1939, to about £1,100. It is natural to try the latter be. fore resorting to the former, but the chances of achieving it for the ma- jority seem small. Meanwhile, those who try it run the risk of eating further into their shrinking re. serves and of léaving the cuts which might balance their budgets until too late. - A reasonable middle.class stan. dard of life, with comforts but with out wastéful expenditure, could bé provided in Johannesburg before the war on £36 a month. The same standard would cost £606 a month today. This is for a man and\his wife; a child of 10, who is obtaining free education at a government school, and a baby who is over the first costly troubles of infancy. The family runs a car, in which the breadwinner travels to work. They use it for week-end excursions and for their annual holiday. They live in a modest suburban house. They buy only essential clothing. The man is allowed only one suit a year, his wife two linen dresses and one costume, their son one blazer and three pairs of trousers. Yet clothing shows the highest percentage increase in the budget. Their monthly allowance for clothes was £6 in 1039. Today it is £13, an increase of 101 per cent. Their budget for housing has in. creased from £12 a month to £23, or 82 per cent. The family's month. ly expenditure on food has gone up from £14 to £24. Other heavy increases in minor items in the budget include: house- hold cleaning goods, up 64 per cent; cigarettes, of which the family allow themselves only 30 a day, up 68 per cent; chemist's supplies, up 60 per cent; taxes, insurance and doctors' fees, up 49 per cent: and sundries, up 73 pey cent. : The average man who earned £60 a month before the war is probably earning, af best, £80 a month today, allowing him a good average pay increase and a cost-of.living allow. ance. This means he must cut his expenses nearly £20 a month to bal- ance his b t. The savings which would result from sale of his car and pther econ. omies might balance his budget, but they would reduce his standard of living from modest comfort to a necessity level. He will have fallen from the middle class standard of lif2, wheih was his at the start of the war, to the standard of the better.placed sections of {he work. ing class. 50,000 WANT TO TRAVEL ' Stockholm -- (CP) -- The Traf- fic Commission here has received over 50,000 applications for gaso- line for motor boats. Although the commission had not expected more than 18,000 applications it is ex- pected all applicants will be satis- fied if the ration is cut by about 40 per cent. . 'Wrotham, Kent. Eng. (OP). --Con. struction of Britain's first high- frequency modulation transmitter has begun, the BBC announced. Ching termed his visit here "pure- ly social and of no significance." One of the items on his busy day's schedule was a visit to President Walter P. Reuther, of the UM.W., recovering in a Detroit hospital from gunshot wounds suffered two weeks ago when an assailant shot him at his home. Negotiations on the U.AW.s de- mand for a 30-cént hourly wage boost from Chrysler were broken off by the union Thursday with an assertion that they were "hopeless- ly deadlocked." The current aver- age hourly pay rate for Chrysler production workers is $1.50. Ironically, an estimated 10,000 Chrysler workers are out of work until Tuesday because of a shortage of materials, Find Man's Body Near Rail Bridge 'Toronto, May 8 -- (CP) -- Police of suburban East York are investi- gating the death of a 60-year-old man found today lying near the centre of a Canadian National Rail- ways bridge in the Don Valley, one mile north of city limits. He has been tentatively identified as Leo Robb, a resident of a Salva- tion Army hostel. The crew of arf extra passenger {/ain arriving from Peterborough found the body. Morgue attendants said a super- ficial examination revealed head Jinuries. Police said the condition of the body made it.appear unlzly the man had been struck by a train. A search of his clothing re- vealed 27 cents, a comb and income déax papers bearing the hostel 1d- dress. Cornwall Plant Gives Pay Boost Cornwall, May 8 -- (CP) -- A 10-per-cént wage increase has been grantéd 1,200 workers employed by Howard Smith Paper Mills Ltd. Cornwall division, it was announced today. The increase is retroactive to May 1. Under the agreement, effective for one year, minimum rate for | adult males is 80 cents an hour.

"Brabdbyens,"" he said in French. And the way he pronounced it, the name sounde dlike "Grands Biens" people of great wealth, Mayor Boi- vin was 'pleased and those seated around Chevalier at a dinner ten- dereti by the city applauded. So Maurice became the first offi- cial Granbyen. He was given a sym- bolic key engraved with the coat of-arms of the city and was made an honorary citizen of Granby. Heroines Honored Posthumously London -- (Reuters) -- Fifty- two heroines of the Second World War, Some of whom were tortured and burned to death by the Ger- mans, were honored today when the Countess of Athlone, wife of the former Governor-General of Can. ada, unveiled a memorial tablet in Saint Paul's Church, Knights- bridge. _ The 52 women, all of whom died on active service, were members of the Women's Transport Service (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) which voluntarily put 3,000 ambul- ance drivers in the field early in the war and later, alter official recognition by the war office. "Among them were South and East Africans and Frenchwomen who trained and served with the corps. The names of 12 secret ag- ents killed by the Germans were re. vealed for the first time on 'the memorial tablet. One of them, Violette Szabo, was tortured to death after she was captured on liaison work between French resistance chiefs and the British Intelligence in Europe. She was posthumously awarded the George Cross, Britain's highést civ- ilian award for valor. Two others were captured eth- er with two members of the Wom- en's Auxiliary Air Force, tortured, and finally burned to death in a German crematorium. Details of their deaths were considered so gruesome by the war' office that they were never allowed to be pub- lished. . ss Ching, a native of Prince Edward | vite, described his part as just "an | Ready To Welcome U.S. Expecting » record year, the Ontario Tourist Information' Branch / THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE wis yas, i Tourists ment is opening its reception centres along the border.

Work Progressing At Storie Park Part at least of Storie Park, the new playground area for Colleges Hill, will be ready for use within a matter of weeks, Parks Superin- tendent E. E. Bathe said today. As an economical. means of level- ling the property the Board of Works has been applying sanitary land fill, a modern system of gar- bage 'disposal adopted by the city and approved by provincial health authorities. Garbage is deposited in trenches which are then filled with a layer of fresh earth. The result is a general levelling process, It is expected that this process will be continued for about two weeks. Meanwhile the parks staff is ready to start work preparing the land for park use. The first section which will be put in shape is the south end where a softball diamond will be located.

The spokesman said the dispute, which has resulted in halting of work on construction worth several million dollars, boiled down to the union demand for recognition, This he termed a "closed shop in every respect." He added the contractors would "never turn over théir busi- nesses to the unions." to ask the City Council to desig- nate a section of city-owned prop- erty on the west side of Sunnyside Park as part of the park. Plans are to use this area for a hard ball diamond.
