The farmers and food price;
Same interesting facts and figures about
the Canadian farmer the foods he prodyces
and why they cost Canadian consumers what
they do: - between 1961 and 1971 retail feed PriceS
increased by 6I.,4 percent._
Farm prices for food products have
gone up 16.3 percent.
Wholesale prices of food processors
increased by 27.1 percent.
2. Although the price increase for food
at the retail level was not as much as
the increase for the combined items
in the consumer price index, none-
theless it did increase more than some
of the other major categories. Prices-
of non-durable gpods, excluding food,
increased by 26 perpent. The increases
In the price Of durable goods was less
than eight percent. However, the
prices of all services, including hous-
ing went up by 44 percent.
3. Last year the average Canadian spent
$453.00 on food and non-alcoholic bev-
erages for use at home and away
from home. In 1961 his correspond-
ing putla.y was $320.00,
4. (a) Although total food expenditure
was increasing, people were, in
fact, spending a smaller pro-
portion of their increasing
incomes on food.
Canadians today spend less than
17 percent of their disposable
income on food. Ten years ago
22.4 percent to take-home pay
went for food.
5. Last year farmers received 42 cents
of the dollar spent by consumers on
farm-produced food, Ten Years ago
they received slightly mere.
in 1961 one farm worker supplied 30
people with toed. In 1970 he Pre-
dueed enough for 46 people, *an in-
crease of over 53 percent. Or, look-
ing at it another ° way, output per man
on farms multiplied. by 1.64 over the
period compared with 1.37 times in
manufacturing industries.
7. Farmers produced and marketed 1.8
billion pounds pf beef in 1971,
8. Last year beef consumption per per-
son averaged 85 pounds. Per capita
consumption, ten years ago, was less
than '10 pounds,
9. Along with the increase in food quant-
ity its quality was also increasing:
In 1961 only slightly more than
51 percent of all beef was brand-
ed Choice or Good.
Now over 63 percent of beef
production meets these specif-
ications.
10. The increase in food prices is pri-
marily because of higher wages: Av-
erage wage rates per hour for em-
ployees in the food and beverage man-
ufacturing industries are more than
two-thirds higher than ten years ago.
They were $1.57 in 1960 and $2.69
in 1970.
The impact of increased, wage rates
is most noticeable for food eaten away
from home where labor and the ser-
vices are the main ingredients of food
cost.

The beauty of contemporary design is admirably
captured in this full console model. Same solidly
built cabinet, Rogers Majestic utilizes modern
techniques in cabinet construction and controls
every operation in its own design studio as well
as its own cabinet factory. This cabinet has been
hand rubbed to a fine furniture finish of Natural
Walnut. This beautiful cabinet also houses the
powerful new Modular chassis.
New modular chassis ...
reliable, rugged ...
a top performer
A major breakthrough ... that's the only way to describe
Rogers Majestic Modular Color T.V. The object was to
simplify the circuitry and to improve reliability. The need
to improve resulted in the design and development of a
modular or building block technique in which four major
parts of the television circiiit'were localized to four
panels. These four panels are the heart of the chasSis.
Makes servicing a snap
The modular chassis is a marvel of electronic draftsman-
ship and engineering imagination. It has been tested
and perfected. It has also been designed so that if prob-
lems do occur, servicing is a wrap. The modular concept '
makes it possible. The technician simply locates the fault
in one of the four circuit panels and replaces it with a
new one which he carries with him as part of his tool kit.
To do so, he unplugs the defective unit and snaps in the
new one. Chances are most repairs can be done right in

The enumeration will collect.
information such as names, ages,
property occupancy status,
school support, school electoral
status, citizenship and residency
and will form the basis of munici-
pal voters' lists.
Following publication of the
lists, people who have incorrectly
been omitted from the lists can
contact the municipal clerk to
have their names added.
Roman Catholic electors who
are neither property owners nor
tenants have the choice of being
enumerated as public or separate
school board electors for the
first time this year.
Non-property owning and non-
tenant Roman Catholics, such as
spouses, students and boarders,
as well as priests and nuns, can
now vote in Separate school board
elections if they so choose,
according to officials.
The expansion of voting rights
means, for example, that a Roman
Catholic son or daughter who
lives at home, is 18 years or
older, and is a Canadian citizen
or British subject can vote for
either the public or separate
school board irrespective of how
the parents direct their education
taxes.
Under the new regulations
adopted by the province, nominat-
ion day, as it has been known for
generations, disappears. The
new enabling bill - No. 77 -
sets a final date for filing nomin-
ation papers but candidates may
file up to four days prior to the
final date.
Under the new regulations,
municipal elections are on the
first Monday in December -Dec.
4 this year. The deadline for
final nomination, therefore, is
5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13 or 21
days before polling day.
Candidates obtain the neces-
sary papers from the clerk's
offide and then must have 10 •
qualified electors sign the
papers befOre they are filed.
Filing papers with the clerk
is regarded as qualification to
stand for election.
The existing rule about the
first nomination remaining in
force unless the candidate re-
signs still stands.
