Costly Undertaking To Raise Family in Today US government department recent ly issued set of statistics which proves it costs lot of money to raise child from birth to 10 years of age This of course comes as absolutely no news at all to parents Apparently the department concerned did survey on the costs of childraising in North America including Canada and came up with some surprising figures According to the statisticians it costs about the same to buy new home as it does to bring up child anywhere be tween $12000 to $27000 notes the Sault Daily Star The figure varies de pending on living standard of the fam ily and the section of the country in which it lives Although dealing with Canada and the United States collectively the do artment points out that the cost of hringing up an average Canadian child is only slightly less It includes the cost of housing food clothing education health care transportation and inciden ta The Department of Agriciilure took middlecass income family in the northcentral region as typical and based its totals on this Here they computed that to bring boy up to 18 the cost was $21700 the cost per year increasing from $860 during the first year of life to $1470 for the 17th year an increase of 71 per cent in his first year the boy costs only $160 worth of food Howevergin his 10 years with pizzas hot dogs and the local hop hamburgers with the crowd all thrown in and not forgetting his us ual food at home manages to rack up al most $400 infood Girls are reckoned to be less expen sive during those years since they eat less The sum total for food alone from birth to the end of the 17th year is esti mated at $5440 Clothing for the child under two years takes about $40 year However from two to six this figure more than doubles to around $90 and finally for fictngtoschooi clothes and entering igh school the bill sits at some $240 year The total cost of clothing is placed at hefty $2640 by the time the child is 18 Depending on the re ion of course transportation of the to and from school and other incidental trips sets the parent back further $3849 for Iii years Never ones to leave us with happy note the statisticians warn that in the next 10 years there is every reason 11 believe that these figures will be upped by about 40 per centthe ivritercon gt eludes it ought be added The Gait ite porter that most peop most of the time

of the minis fer lo the policy of the UnlLed Sute in Vietnam goes ex tremer far hfr Dlefenbsker new demands the ruignm than of Air Gordon accusing him of encouraging the Com munists of Vietnam There are obviously many reasons for this new attack by minister who has already attracted alttntlon by the in dependence of his views towards Washington It is laid for example that the president of the privy council expressed aloud views which could not be expressed pub llcly by the prime minister himself it is explained also that faced with the interest the ND is arousing among many voters the Liberal part is anxious not to allow ltse to be passed on the left it was noted also that Mr Dnus lcs leader of the NDP dld not neglect during weekend slt lo lilortreol to plead wilh the government to condemn energetically the American brublnn of North Vietnam Finally third hypothesis is that Mr Gordon as he acid himscl feels prompted events and by constant tc7loration of the situation warn Canadians that hu manity is moving towards the abyss in the last 10 days through the voices of highest authorities we have received many warnings of similar nature Guy Cormler May 16 Montreal Le Derolr The ra is government has called the premiers of the provincu to Ottairs for July The main goal of the meet ing is to attempt to reach an agreement in principle on declaration of the rights and freedoms of citizens it is not possible to be op posed to such an initiative On the contrary the lime surely has come for all the govern mans of the country to co ordinate their action in so vital field Theilghis and freedoms of citizen in federal system such as ours cannot be ade quately protected by Ottawa alone or by the provinces alone Some aspects of these rights are under federal iurls diction while others fall un der provincial legislatures Besides our constitution con talnsa certain number of poorly defined zones or zones opento simultaneous ariion by the two levels of govern meat

the fed eral level Our present constitution it must be admltted is ex iremely confused on this sub ject The proof is that Quebec has interpreted it in one way and the remainder of tha counlry In another in certain provinces start is being made on recognition of this rights of the Frenchlanguage minority but the process is very slow and especially it is far from being general it is for those reasons that we would wish to see an un equivocal declaration of these rights appear as soon as poslt albleln the constitution Vlnceut Prince fliiey 15 LB Defends Record Of Great Society WASHINGTON MP
