Price Control in Brief "What can I tell them in a Mr. Taylor?"

I had learned the day before about the necessity of a check on strong inâ€" Nationary forces which are inevitable in wartime: that from Aug 1, 1939 to April Ist, 1041, our costâ€"ofâ€"living had risen from 100 to 107.7 due to depreciaâ€" tion of the Canaâ€" dian dollar, higher taxation, _ increase n â€" hitherto low farm prices; that Canada had put a ceiling price on " goods and services, on wage increases and introduced the f $# cost of living bonus s and that, as a reâ€" K.

(Since this article was first written, Mr. Taylor has keen appointed Foods Administrator as successor to Hon. J.G. Taggart.) | THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK i _ I got back to economics in asking | how the ceiling benefits the farmer. It does, he says, in a number of ways. For _instance the celiling on feeds and ferâ€" itilizers is below American prices; on | wire fencing, etc., where available. "You fknow," he mused, "a short time ago I was but at the farm where my son was working, and I was shown an old stack of bills and I noticed that that farmer paid $70 a ton for middlings back in ‘ _ He admitted frankly there was a difference of opinion "within‘" for a while and it got a little out of hand, but "remember this, the western cattle growers will probably get in 1943 the best gterage price since 1920." Food Demands Strain Resources Generally the demand for food is straining our resources, he pointed out. | There is a heavier demand overseas; the | U.S. is sending more to Russia, less to Britain; all our salmon pack is going to the Mother Country, besides milk proâ€" _ducts, canned meats and what not. And ! on top of it all agriculture has a labor problem. > mmz We came back to meat for a minute and he explained that our beef shortâ€" age in the east is relativeâ€"not basicâ€" as compared to the west. The indusâ€" trial eastern workingman is making more money, eating more meat; wants it. The on pork supply is "deâ€" liberate‘"‘ and the result is a greatly inâ€" creased demand for beef; much pork is going overseas, but (and he interâ€" jected) ‘"if the Department of Agriâ€" culture‘s progress is realized, 8 million hogs will be the figure for 1943." ‘Some bacon, some porkchops! Then I hitched up my galluses, startâ€" ed asking about agricultural prices and problems, and Mr. Taylor opinied there was plenty of difficulty in reconciling beef, butter, whole milk products, etc. Well, how about beef? They were faced he said with three alternatives because the American market "ran away fast", They could either hoid rigidly‘ to the price ceiling, which meant that most of the cattle would go to the U.S.A. with very little left for the Canadian houseâ€" wife; the price could be put up to the American level, which means the ceilâ€" ing would break down; orâ€"and this they decided to doâ€"hold the price in Canada and control exports. The price was put up a little, too, at the same] time. | _power, etc., ard presto: first thing we , knew we had rationing, starting with | sugar,.tea and coffee. ’ Sugar Shortage Explained _ _ Here‘s something that will interest you. Out of a normal consumption anâ€" nually of 5€0,000 tons of sugar we imâ€" | ported 400.000, growing the difference in Canada. half of it in Alberta, With shipping acute Canada agreed through Britishâ€"American arrangement to foreâ€" go enough sugar to save 1006,000 tons of shipping yearly; later things became worse and we agreed to lop off another 50,¢00 of shipping space. That‘s why folks, you‘re getting less sugar. Of course we could grow more in Alberta, say; it‘s a profitable crop, but rememâ€" ber freight rate costs and suppose you had to move it out to Winnipeg you would have to meet abnormailly lower _price structure. Could be done, naturâ€" _ally, but only by use of heavy subsidies. ber. Then we reached the point where while not actually acute, we saw a monue of limited supplies, with bouyâ€" ,ant pressure, increased. purchasing Well how about coffee? The difâ€" ference in consumption with us would be saving two shiploads only, but with the Americans, who consume more, it would amount to 40 shiploads saving, but then the board feels we cannot treat our consumers any better than the Americans. ‘"Broadly speaking, the year‘s work included a fairly detailed development o the ore possibilities in the main porâ€" phyry body down to and including the eighth level, and it is not expected that further large additions to existing ore reserves will be found in the main Preston porphyry body on those levels. Development Results "Development work was well distriâ€" buted throughout the mine on all levels from the second to the twelfth. In addition to further work on the main porphyry orebodies, a substantial footage of development was done on quartz veins from the third to the tenth levels, and an aggregate length of 2,â€" 140 ft. of ore was developed in these veins with an average cut grade of .226 oz. over drift â€"width. The veins vary in width from one to cight feet and are mined in stopes from two feet wide and up. These veins sometimes merge into stringer zones and irregular quartz masses which may provide mineable widths up to 20 ft. V. A. James, manager, states that there were 306,687 tons milled, the averâ€" age daily rate being 840 tons, compared with 534 tons in 1941, but the rate deâ€" cline in the last quarter to 800 tons daily. Gold production totalled 72,439 ozs. Sorting of ore was discontinued in the last half of the year. Operating costs, before hbullion marketing exâ€" pernse, administration, taxes and writeâ€" offs amounted to $4.996 per ton milled. In regard to development work durâ€" ing the year, the manager, V. A. James says: Ore resrves declined from 919,700 tons to 869,100 tons and the grade of reâ€" serves from 0.24 oz. to 0.223 oz. Recovâ€" ery per ton dropped from $12.32 to $9.10 Incréase in milling rate was responsible for the higher production. W. H. Bouck, president, states that bullion production in the year was valâ€" ued at $2,791,800; after taxes, operating costs, special and ordinary depreciation, preâ€"production, writeâ€"offis and No. 2 shaft deepening writeâ€"off, the net proâ€" fit totalled $586,510. Adding other inâ€" come brought the net to $620,161 or 20.67¢ per share, compared with 28.49¢ 11 1941. The profit after taxes but before writeâ€"offs, was $1,020,989, or 34c per share. Dividends totalling $600,000 per paid. The report of the Preston East Dome for the year just closed shows an inâ€" crease in working capital, a substantial Increase in production, a higher milling rate, and a decrease in reserves and net profit, as a result of the conditions of the times and other considerations. The report indicates that the higzhâ€" grade ore in the upper levels has been exhausted, but this is offset by a numâ€" ber of new ore discoveries on lower levels. But Net Firofits Lower on Account of Conditions. Production, Assets, Tonnage, Higher at Preston East Dome snirit, because strong inflationary forces wend to produce stronger deflationary trends when the country‘s economy is reconverted to peacetime production. It would brirg mass unemployment, much less demand for farm products, and low price levels, And, "The serxous* problem of postâ€"war will not all be eliminated by prevention of. inflation, but it will certainly facilitate the soluâ€" tions and help stop any prolonged postâ€"| war depression."

Total war, he holds, is not achieved until all resources not necessary to satisfy the minimum of essential needs of the civilian population is devoted to Most patients with hign blood presâ€" sure do not really know their pressure is high until being examined for life msurance or employment. When they learn of it they«.expect the medical exâ€" aminer to give them some medicine to reduce their pressure. That food, esâ€" pecially meats, greatly increase the blood pressure is one of the beliefs of these patients. It is true that "too miuch" meat may increase blood presâ€" surae but if not enough meat is eaten, too much of the proteins in the blood will have to be used for the work of The effect of overweight on the blood pressure is so definite that insurance companies reject or "step up" the age and premium of all overweight appliâ€" cunts. And, if the overweight will reâ€" duce his weight to normal, the insurâ€" ance companies will accept him at his normal age. Heant specialists, kidney spécialists, and diabetic specialists all state that one of their first thoughts in the treatâ€" ment of an overweight patient with any of these awilments is to reduce his weight. While overweight does not necessarâ€" ily bring on high blood pressure, heart and kidney disease, and also diabetses, it has been amply proven thaWanyone with a tendency to these diseases is nore apt to develop one or more of them if he or she is overweight. The fact that excess weight is often a cause or a forerunner of these diseases does not mean that those of normal weight should reduce their weight to prevent them. In fact, to be of normal weight gives the individual the strength to prevent or overcme them. .i "To summarize, the future ore possiâ€" / bilities of the mine will be determined _ by deeper drilling and sinking to new - deeper levels in the main Preston porâ€" |phyry mass, by detailed exploration in the western porphyry and by developâ€" _ ment work in the new footwall greenâ€" st.one area. Further lateral work in the =main porphyry on existing levels will also be carried on. High Grade Mined Out "In the course of development and mining, new ore was added on every level but the fourth, where one stope failed to live up to earlier ore estiâ€" mates. As against this, a number of |theâ€"larger porphyry stopes showed an expanded ore area as mining work proâ€" gressed. Exploration into stope walls for ore extensions or branch veins was continued as a regular practice. Availâ€" able sources of high grade were mined out in the early months of the year, |and for the last nine months the mill \feed represented an average cross secâ€" ’mon of all developed orebodies in the ‘mine. Millheads for the year after some sorting averaged slightly higher than the ore reserve grade of.24 oz. cstimated at the beginning of the year. | Ore Reserves Down "Ore reserves as of December 31st, 1.:42 are â€"estimated at 860,100 tons of j .220 OZ%. grade, aiter allowance for diluâ€" tion~ This includes all ore sufficiently exposed for measurement down to the ll1th level, but does not include ore E within the limnits of the shaft pillar. "The methods of cutting high assays to one ounce and averaging cut and uncut grades, with 10% dilution allowâ€" ance, were followed as formerly. The uncut grade was .27 oz. and the cut grade .22 oz. The actual operating reâ€" sults have been close to the figures arâ€" rived at by these methods. «* 3 "A total of 322467 tons of ore was 3 hoisted during 1942, and the above 1 AC.' total of ore reserves which is 59,600 Imr tons lower than a year ago, indicates , y,, that 262,867 tons of new ore were put bride‘ in sight during the year.
