nouncement by agriculture min ister gardiner of a 10percent cut in the 1050 floor price agricultural experts said the reduced floor price may mean a cut of six or seven cents a pound in the retail

compares with 30 a hundredweight paid during 1919 when canada had a contract to ship 100000000 pounds to britain because of a domestic shortage only about 70000000 have been shipped the 1950 bacon contract likely will cover the same amount as shipped during 1949 but as mr gardiner indicated the price paid may be a lot lower in fact it may be lower than the floor price of 3250 terms of the agreement are expected to be announced shortly in a statement issued simultaneously in london and ottawa home prices slip meanwhile with prices on domestic markets slipping mr gardiner made the announcement so that hog producers and the packing industry may have the information before hog prices are established next week because cheese deliveries for the 1950 season would not begin before

next year arid that may mean as much as s0000000 pounds 30000000 pounds more than britain took in 1949 but the price would be lower the experts indicated that britain is bidding about 26 cents a pound for cheese and canada has offered to sell at 28 two cents lower than in 1949 mr gardiners bacon announce- i ment was received both optimis tically and pessimistically by spokesmen for canadian farmers

producers will be dis appointed that the floor price has been cut as low as that he said will use wheat funds mr gardiner said the bacon con tract would be made possible through the transfer of british funds from purchases of wheat the 1950 floor price on bacon will run only during the time it takes for the meat board to buy sufficient bacon to meet the british contract the minister declared

wilke taught his pipe- making business to his daughters today anna and louisa wilke are the only women pipe makers in new york and probably in the united states at christinas they have more women customers than men to their shop on madison ave come such pipe fanciers as former president herbert hoover diplo mats lord halifax and lord inver- chapel author john steinbeck bandleader guy lombardo and opera singer john charles thomas some of these bigwigs pay as much as 100 for a pipe they buy the special tobaccos which the wilke sisters blend skillfully the sisters advise women who buy gifts to stick to conservative styles avoiding gadgety odd shapes usually they sell women a medium rather than a light or heavy weight pipe since thats the popular pipe wilke gift pipes are travelling all over the world this christmas a certain amount of the business is always handled by mail every customer who comes into the shop has his name filed away so that wherever he may roam be it little rock ark or calcutta india he can always order his favorite tobacco blend and a brand- new pipe in addition to knowing every thing there is to know about pipe repairs anna and louisa can answer any
