the audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mall post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments link with the past ever since 1945 when prices climbed into the cockpit and took off the public has had to watch one after another of the familiar symbols of prewar living disappear the nickel chocolate bar the ten cent quart of milk the under- athousanddollars motor car one by one these yielded to the pressure of mounting labor and material costs some such as the chocolate bar adopted a lean and hungry sil houette at the old price in an attempt to preserve the il lusion but without much success almost alone in its resistance to inflation has been the bottle of soft drink here until recently was still a 1939 nickels worth in a 1939 size bottle now because money is needed for greatly increased defence commitments the price has gone up to 6c the extra cent being federal tax and yet if the nostalgic consumer still looks for a relic of 1939 he can remind himself that the nickel is for his drink and the pennny is for or rather because of joe stalin regretfully it must be assumed that even this slender link with what might be called par for the cost of living will one day vanish too it is difficult to think of a single item involved in the manufacture of soft drinks that hasnt climbed to the present 160 over par quite obviously it is impossible to go on putting components at 1950 prices into a product sold at 1939 prices but if soft drinks too should go the way of chocolate bars milk automobiles and gasoline the public should at least give them e for effort in the battle against inflation times review more cattle on markets mean lower meat prices consumers are again witnessing the operation of the law of supply and demand on meat prices fortunately the direction of the price is down it has been announced that some of the cuts are being priced as much as fourteen cents a pound below what was asked a week ago the explanation is the increased offerings of cattle which have been fattened and finished on the summer pastures and the smaller de mand for animals to export to the american market now that the drovers no longer obtain the 10 per cent premium on us exchange more cattle are coming on the toronto market and bearing down on the prices but it cannot be said that it has fallen to a point where the farmers are unable to make a profit on fat livestock there is every reason to expect greater livestock pro duction next year especially of hogs there will be plenty of feed as a result of the heavy frosts in western canada which reduced large quantities of wheat below milling grade the western farmer can salvage his crop by turning it into pork dean grant macewan of the manitoba faculty of agriculture has estimated that on the basis of present hog prices every bushel of frozen wheat fed to hogs will return approximately 2 on the farm to the man who grows the wheat and feeds it on this basis the farmer would be in a position to get as much for a bushel of wheat fed to a hog as he received for grain marketed through the wheat board and shipped under the british wheat agreement greater production of cattle and hogs on the farm is an effective method of preventing increased meat prices ade quate production of all foodstuffs can be a far better regu lator of prices than any governmentinitiated price control system 25 a ton for straw fifteen or eighteen years ago when wheat was worth 35 cents a bushel and beef cattle a couple of cents a pound a dollar a ton was the going price for straw according to an advertisement in the current issue of the high river times farmers near blackie are offering oat straw very choice bright clean baled- from the field now at 25 per ton if they can sell it at that price considering the abun dance of green feed and straw in the country this fall then the golden age has indeed arrived for the farmers whether the kernels have been frozen or not and whether there is a grain harvest or not almost every part of alberta and indeed of the prairies has an excellent stand of straw this year the blackie district was not badly froz en the oats itself should have grossed perhaps 50 an acre in that area another 50 per acre for the straw is nothing short of a bonanza if oat straw is worth 25 a ton baled in the field what is good alfalfa hay worth night passage often in early autumn in sections of the city where there are trees you may hear now and again in the stillness of the late night a faint sweet call from somewhere high among the boughs after a pause it will be answered by another and then at intervals by others scattered here and there amid little rustlings and flutterings the tiny flutings go on tossed deliberately back and forth among the leaves in enigmatic communication evidently when the birds begin gathering for their migration they occasionally drift downward over cities to rest for a space before winging southward once more one can only guess at what varieties are there for they seem to prefer remaining always high out of sight and their calls are different seeming halffamiliar yet not exactly like any of those commonly heard in the singingseason of early summer when bird songs are joyous fullthroated exuberant now the brief and muted cries they sound to each other among the topmost boughs of elm and poplar and maple have a quality of asking and giving information or encouragement some have a querying upward lilt others have lowpitched note of a reassuring reply youre there yes and you here let us keep together when are we starting soon well move out that way come and so quietly unhurriedly they flit from the pools of city lights into the wide dark there are one or two last soft warblings dimmed by distance and they are gone mysterious small neighbors of the air undismayed by space or night confident of a way always before them waiting their eager wings christian science monitor the greeks were shoeing their horses as long ago as 200 bc serve eca 6 bottle carton 30 a movie comedian in hollywood was operated on we trust they didnt remove any of bis foolish ness for parents only fok iakfcvfs only tell thk truth by nancy cleaver there is no defeat in truth save from within unless youre beaten there youre bound to win it seems strange that in an adult world where so much deception is practiced parents so often expect their children to be naturally truthful from birth they are often shocked and angry when little mary or small john lies to them children are sometimes punished severely for telling a falsehood how dare you lie to me father says as he advances towards the shrinking form of his small son youre a naughty girl to tell mother a lie how can you do such a wicked thing v- mother asks her little daughter in a horrified tone parents are right in wanting their children to be honest but they must remember that learning to tell the truth is a slow process this is something which must be acquired gradually children at different ages tell lies for different reasons they need understanding and help to meet difficult situations with sincerity most of all they crave parents who in their own lives practice what they preach and as far as possible tell the truth to each other to their children and to others the desire to be honest comes from within from a love of trutlt and a conviction that lying is a mistake abstract ideas like the truth are very hard for a young child to grasp little folk love the world of makebelieve they listen eagerly to stories of fairies and elves and magic it s small wonder that with their imaginations they some times invent a tale which mother knows is full of fancy and not based on fact the preschool childs tall tales should not be classed as real lies mother or dad should listen with interest and by a comment let the child realize they know the story is a make- believe one later in life the child whose imagination has not been crushed may have a flair for telling a good story or directing a dramatic presentation or working in some creative field however the older child must show accuracy in pre senting details the price of too much imagination used in stories is that the speakers future stories are not quite believed the desire to be important is very strong in children as well as adults this is the root of many children lying about their homes their famines or their own exploits these boastful lies to get the centre of the stage usually hide an inner sense of inadequacy a little fellow who failed to learn to swim at camp because of his fear of the water announced to his folks on his first day home i could swim right across the lake as far as the island his father said thats splendid next wednesday ill take you in the car for a swim with me the dad saw the confusion and terror on the childs face later he was able to show his boy that if you tell the truth you dont have to be embarrassed later so often to cover up one falsehood a host of lies or excuses must be invested the lie to save face is related to the boastful lie children want parents to think well of them often mothers or dads expecta tions are a bit too high this is particularly true in the standing in the school classroom children put their best foot forward by small lies about the teacher being unfair or the head boy in the class cheating or blame their fail ures on lack of proper tools or not feeling well when a child is caught in wrong doing often he will lie if he thinks by so doing lie can escape punish ment this is the lie of self pre servation if a child is scared of the consequences of his act or frightened what his parent in his anger may do is it any wonder the stern command tell me the truth doesnt make much impression on him whatever kind of lie a child uses he can be helped to believe that to lie is undesirable and he can learn to tell the truth feelings of guilt or shame about failure to tell the truth are not wise rather the child should be helped by understanding how he came to lie and to determine not to tell a falsehood again here is one place a child wants to feel bis parents understanding and confidence in him over the years the parents who themselves love truth and tell it are likely to have boys and girls who grow to maturity with the ability to distinguish lies the moral strength to tell the truth and accept the consequences is fostered in the right home atmosphere copyright business directory dental neil c smith
