Smokes In State Of Flux -- Up A Ceni, May Go Down By THE CANADIAN PRESS Recent increases in cigarette prices across Ontario were sparked by a one-cent-a-pack- age raise by distributors, a Ca- nadian Press survey showed to- day. In some cases retailers ap- parently also added a cent. Distributors said higher costs and little or no profit on ciga- rettes forces the increases. Other industry spokesmen added that the whole price structure was in a state of change and because of bitter competition might change daily, up or down. Chain store spokesmen were divided on whether prices gen- erally would come back to for- mer levels. The survey showed that in some cities, such as North Bay, prices were unchanged, Some retailers also held fast against an increase. Prices Tuesday varied from 38 to 39 cents for a package of 20, compared with the previous 37: from 48 to 49 cents for 25s, compared with 47, and $3.59 for a carton of 200. At the end of 1965, cartons were selling for $3.49 and in some cases as low | as $3.29. PRICES VARY Prices sometimes varied pre- viously depending on whether the retailer absorbed the one- cent-a-package tax or added it to the price. Increases of 10 to 20 per cent in the case of cigars were blamed on higher costs by to- bacco distributors. Treasurer James Allan said} a new tobacco tax--a 20th of a cent per cigarette--could not be blamed for the price increases. The new tax replaces a three-| per-cent sales tax which was abolished. Mr. Allan said that since the two taxes were almost identical the cost remained the same. said the new tax, at his level, forced him to collect 10 cents| tions good profit for manufacturers, a fair profit for wholesalers and a living for retailers, for years with cigarette handling at below cost. CITES COMPETITION "Competing with chain stores which used cigarettes as a side- line and loss leader to get peo- ple 'into their stores to buy things, we in turn have been forced to keep the small store- keeper going, to keep him in business. "The chain stores sold cartons often almost at cost price. Quite a few distributors have been forced out of business. The ones remaining have had to divers- ify, to sell othegy things than cigarettes to carry the burden. "Under these circumstances the profit from cigarettes dis- 'Anglican Say In Replacing UC's Howse TORONTO (CP)--The United Church Observer says Angli- }cans should be involved in dis- }cussions about a successor to Rt.

OTTAWA (CP)--Poor flying weather has prevented the RCMP from completing its in- vestigating into the shooting death of an Eskimo woman at Fort Ross, on the Boothia Pen- insula of the Northwest Terri- tories. . A preliminary investigation has disclosed that 40-year-old Soosee was killed because other Eskimos believed she was pos- sessed by evil spirits. Soosee, who had been treated for mental illness, travelled and hunted with three families near Fort Ross, a Hudson's Bay Co. trading post established in 1937 but abandoned five years later becanse of difficulties in bring-| ing in supplies. Eskimos in the area live off ing the summer and snowhouses in the winter. Informants say that Soosee was creating a disturbance in ing stones and damaging tents.

Freight rate increases of 5 per cent to 20 per cent being sought by the trucking industry as of Dec. 27, 1965, will cover only a portion of the jump in labor costs; now representing up to $2 per cent of company revenues.
