doubt this or dont understand it or if you think the evils of inflation have been somewhat exaggerated reflect for moment on the factthat it now takes in the neighborhood of two dollars to buy what one dollar bought in 1939 In other words in the brief space of 20 years our basic unit of currency has lost over half its face value The dollar its true has been eroding for very much longer than this but never before has it done so at anything like such rapid rate For those of us who work of course the situation is not as badas it looks The basic hourly wage of employees in manufacturing industry for instance has more than tripled over this same period and the earnings of most other members of the labor force have followed suit the pamphlet Industry commenm Obviously if you are getting say 60 dollars week today as against 20 dollars in 1989 you can hardly complain that your standard of living has declined The reverse is clearly true On the other hand remembering that you need at least twice as many dollars as you got in 1930 Just to stay level the real increase in em ings is not nearly as considerable as might have been imagined But it is the old and elderly who are hardest hit by inflation Livingon fixed incomeson pensions and annuities pur chased by dint of personal sacrifice over many years they find their dollars buy ing ever less Fearfully they seems in dependence they

Drastic Steps To Cope Teachers Shortage By McINTYEE HOOD London England Corresponch For The Barrie Examiner LONDON The British min istry of education faced with an annualreqnirament of 7000 new school teachers year is taking drastic steps to cope with the shortage which is holding back the program for smaller classes in the schools in 1058 total at 18000 persons entered the tea ching profession including if 300 coming fresh from training college But in the same yenr forvarious reasons 13400 teachi are left the profession which lefttbe net intake nearly 2000 short of the estimated annual requirements At the present time the teach ers training colleges have so commedation for 22500 students in comfort but 25000 ave been crammed in them or initial training Towards the end of last year Geoffrey Lloyd min ister of education announced that provision would be made to iamease the number of places in training college by H009 by 1962 Members of the teaching profession organization egprcclt sed grave doubt as to whether this increase would be sufficient to meet theneeds of worsen ing situation UP TO 40000 Speaking at the annual con ference of the Association of Ed ucation Committees Mr Lloyd said his department had again raised ltssights fognihteh leashes training program er places will be providbd within the next three years at training Study Economic Wilhllext Election In Mind nonrascock OTTAWA CPilt might seem trifle early but unofficial sources say the government is already studying the economic barometers with the next federal election in mind lfthe government follows the usual pattern of reiurnto the voters every four years the next electio will comesomeiime in 1962 Obviously any nmeni cannot afford to let future elec tions out of its thoughtsfor long It takes time to prepare for them especially in the field of economics and the countrys prosperity The reason for the concern at least purposeful interes economic trends arises partici lhrly out of the experience of the former Liberal gnvernmcnt in 1057 these sources say During the previous two years the countrys economy was boom ing along at aciipso brisk that colleges bringing the total in creaseup to 16000 By 1964 be said the minlsny proposed In have training college accom modation for 40000studenls eat tcring the teachingprofesslom He added that an even larger rogram would be mdertaken 19M or 1965 if that provision seemed to be inadequate Thereis however further reason for increasing accom modation at teacher haining gthened from two to three years which would have an adversein fluence on the output of the logos in 1962 In addition to strong desire to reduce the size of classes in the schools by providing more teachers the ministry is faced with birth estimates which im dicate that there will be rep4 idly increasing school populat ion and hence need for even more teachers in the later 1960 vA movement to have children stay longer at school than has been the case in the past is also gaining considerable mement colleges Sharing in 1960 the ira ining college course is to be len urn Thus tbaipresent annual luv crease of 5400 teachers based on the 1958 figures is considered for below the additional number that will be required to meet the educational needs of the oountry within the next 0years Pres ent needs are for an additional 7000 teachers By 1965 it is ex pected the number vidll be nearg er 10000 Barometer No one can say for certain what defeats governmmts but the fading of the boomthat rolled along through resend then began sudden tapering off in 1957 is considered to have had some effect There are good many in rations that the countrys ec nomy is rolling inward recovery at present Interest rates are ri ing The Bank of Canada
