(CP)--Bene- fits accruing to Windsor by MONTREAL (CP)--It's cost- ing the consumer twice as much to satisfy his sweet tooth today as it was at the beginning of this year. Last Jan. 1 the price of sugar at the local grocery store was 51 cents for a five-pound bag 99 cents for a 10-pound sack. Now, the corres} prices are $1.01 and $1.99. The wholesale price of re- fined sugar hit its highest level since July, 1920, early this week when three major eastern re- fineries--St, Lawrence, Atlantic and Canada and Dominion--' raised their price by $1.10 to $17.85 a 100-pound bag-and then 15 cents to $18. In July, 1920, the price reached an all-time high of $24 a 100-pound bag. What's behind this tremend- ous increase? IT'S SIMPLE LAW supply and demand, says a re- Commonwealth Sugar Agree- finery spokesman. If the con- sumer wants more of a com- modity than is readily available, the price goes up. Reasons for the short supply are many, but foremost among them are the devastation of the Cuban sugar crop by Hurricane Flora and a failure of the Euro- pean sugar beet crop to keep pace with the normal increase in world consumption, These developments have cre- ated a shortage on the world market, sh oting the price sharply upward. A spokesman said Canada buys her sugar on the world market and so must pay the going price. The spokesman said, how- ever, there is no danger of a shortage occurring in Canada. As long as Canadians are wil- ling to pay the price, the Com- monwealth countries will supply The simple, economic law of Canada with sugar. Under the ment, these countries have agreed to reserve enough sugar to supply Canada's needs, he said. Usually when the price of an item increases, the consumer will employ substitutes to avoid paying the high price. For 'in- hoped-for penetration of the United States auto parts market will be emphasized Monday when leaders of the United Auto Workers' Unipn (CLC) confer with government officials in Ot- tawa. George Burt, Canadian direc- tor of the UAW, said Wednes- day he has arranged a meeting through Herb Gray, MP for Es- sex West, with Industry Minis- ter C. M. Drury, and Labor Min- ister Allan MacEachen. "Geegraphy, which has been Windsor's biggest liability, will proposed greater integration of the Canadian and American auto industry goes through with its expected penetration Canadian auto parts manufac- turers into the U.S. market," Mr, Burt said. I would be a "'travesty of jus- tice," if integration takes place and plants which have "run away" from Windsor reap the benefits, Mr. Burt said. "Tf the governrent's plan be its greatest advantage if the|t city has borne the brunt of un- employment in the Canadian automobile industry over the years. It deserves any breaks that. may result from integra- jon." 389,749 Cars Produced In Canada TORONTO (CP) -- Scheduled motor - vehicle production re- ported by the Canadian Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce goes through, Windsor will be in for a real boon," he said. 'This pared with actual production of 11,258 last week. Production consisted of 12,132 cars compared with 9,389 last; week and 1,981 trucks compared with 1,869.

Brantford To Remain As Depressed Area OTTAWA (CP) -- The Brant- ford area could be dropped from the list of 35 areas receiv- ing federal incentives to indus- try if prospective new industries there materialize, a federal of- ficial said Wednesday.

IS BASIC But sugar is a basic commod- ity and has no substitute for do- mestic purposes. Industrial users can offset higher sugar prices to a certain extent through the use of glu- cose--a thick, clearish, viscous liquid--in canning and jam and jelly manufacturing. However, glucose manufactur- ers have been so hard-pressed by industrial orders, they couldn't supply the glucose for domestic use even if the de- LODA CONFERENCE HEARS PLEAS | Standard Tax Rate | For Firms Advised PETERBOROUGH (CP) -- A: municipal tax expert and a company president both warned an industrial and municipal re- lations conferece here Wednes- day that industry will shy away from districts which put heavy tax burdens on commercial ratepayers. Michael D. Goldbrick, direc- tor of the Bureau of Municipal Research, Toronto, told decie- gates to the conference spon- sored by the Lake Oniario De- velopment Association that re- cent grants to municipalities fa- vored the residential tax-payer. He said the unconditional grant and the school assistance grant paid in 1961 to reduce the residential mili rate have in- creased the burden on business. Mr, Goldbrick said industry pays far more attention to the tax climate in an aréa than to any immediate concessions when it is choosing a new lo- cation, He suggested a standard flat rate be paid by all business con- cerns. M. R. Mallory, president of Winchester Western Canada Limited, Cobourg, Ont., said civic administrations could do more to create wealth by work- ing more closely with industry.
