largescale customers persons who have wisely saved their money over the year are likely to reap a benefit soon if the forecast in the post is correct real estate is still sky high because building materials are not yet sufficient supply yet they are better than a couple of years ago with labor costs so high fewer wouldbe home owners are holding off for a more favorable market which is sure to come mm stffcfiff j friday saturday may 30 31 unexpected guest hill bovd ungle princess dorothy laaour only a single instance of misuse the daily star is quick to defend the liberal govern ment and the baby bonus following a report from kitchener that baby bonus money is finding its way into the beer bottle instead of the milk bottle the star says a kitchener dispatch in a toronto paper carried the heading one out of 10 buying drinks on baby bonus also kitchener childrens aid secretary takes first check on spending of family allowance grants the fact is that 10 special cases requiring investigation were referred to the kitchener childrens aid society by the federal authorities in one of these cases misspending of the allowances on liquor was established that one case was the only case a completely erroneous impression is given by the suggestion that because of this single instance one out of ten is buying drinks on the baby bonus the tribune published the item from kitchener because it served as a warning to those receiving bonus cheques but the star sca in the warning a possible reflection on the government sponsoring the bonuses this paper saw nothing of the sort signs of price drop mounting inventories the new development thats shaking wall street into a case of nerves now have can adian business on the defensive the financial post claims the flexibility of this countrys distribution machine is coming in for a sharp testing period there is increasing evidence that production in many consumer goods has turned the corner it is either keeping pace with demand or is starting to pile up faster than retail outlets can dispose of it the canadian inventory position is definitely much better than in the united states observers point out there extravagant price rises have produced many serious situations while there are some critical lines in the canadian picture key merchants tell the post that on a unit basis most of their inventories are still below 1939 normal and that because of much more moderate price rises in this country eventual pricecutting and distress selling will be unlikely save in certain lines and that unlikely until fall some manufacturers in specialty lines will take a beating merchandising men say they have overestimated turns spotlight on taxation a live opposition is very necessary to good government here in canada one could be lulled into thinking those in power are doing a wonderful job and if they are it is partly or largely due to the attacks made by opposition members of the government for instance hon john bracken has turned the spotlight on the budget and reveals facts the public should know in his national broadcast he rather ripped off the trimmings from the budget and brought to light something the tax payer probably knows but does not realize fully he said 1 three years after the war and the liberal gov ernment is taking from us nearly as much in taxation as in any year during the war 2 in the next two years the government will take from us just about five times more in taxation than any canadian government ever took in peacetime and remem ber this in spite of the fact that active war expenditures are over gratuities are nearly all paid armed forces have been demobilized subsidies for war goods have been dis continued 3 the governments billion dollar complex still lingers out of 28 departments of government 17 will spend more this year that they ever spent before 4 true an enormous war debt must be serviced and war pensions paid but until totally unnecessary govern ment extravagance ceases taxes will be high as you see it the exeter times advocate tells of a marble or alley tournament arranged last saturday morning for the kids attending exeter public school under direction of the recreational council the contestants were divided into three or four groups some for girls and tremendous interest was shown one way to keep the kids occupied and out of trouble isnt it probably many people will think that some more worthwhile kind of amusement would be thought of no doubt that is right for instance who could do the best job cutting a lawn making a flower bed or preparing a garden plot none of which would be half so interesting as playing marbles which when we consider the matter is just as sensible as trying to push a puck between a couple of goal posts which your oponents endeavour to stop you its all a matter of skill no doubt and everybody admires clever people even if they are smart playing marbles sirens provided at govermext expense from
