A recent television experiment in England was undertaken by a hypnotist, .but in the test such a ; high percentage of spectators were unintentionally put to sleep that a proposed public showing was can­ celled. Indians believe that when a man is smoking and the smoke blows in a streak to one side it will rain within twenty-four hours; a robin sitting in the very top of a tree and singing is a sign of rain.

While officials have refrained from making any official comment, bakers in various parts of the country have been quoted as ex­ pecting rises in the price of bread, which now sells in most districts at 1U cents for a 22-ounee loaf. Strengthening the reports that the flour subsidy may be removed —sending miller’s prices for wheat from 77% to 1.55 a bushel—are several broad factors. First, there is the government’s avowed intention of getting out of the subsidy field. Removal of sub­ sidies have coincided with seasonal production highs and some quar­ ters expect that, just as dairy prod­ ucts subsidies and controls were removed in the peak production period this June, wheat controls will be eased late in Steptember or early in October. Emergency Powers Ending Along with these are the fact that the government’s emergency powers expire next March, and the steady elimination of the Prices Board. Information offices of the board, for example, have 'been prac­ tically eliminated, and are expect­ ed to wind up completely this month with the exception of a skeleton head office staff in Ot­ tawa. A jump in the wheat price paid by millers of almost 80 cents a bushel caused by removal of the wheat subsidy would, according to many bakprs, cause a three-cent rise in the price of a loaf of bread. Meanwhile, the actual announce­ ment as to the government’s in­ tention on lifting the subsidy is a matter of cabinet study, and the cabinet officials so far have shown no indication of an early statement.
