CONSUMER WOMEN ASK
REDUCED PRICES
The newly-formed Canadian Asso-
ciation of Consumers, representing
every major national women's organi-
zation across Canada, told acting Fi-
taariee Minister St, Laurent recently
that it was "very seriously concerned"
about Canada's rising cost of living
and urged immediate government steps
to bring down present prices of essen-
tial commodities, particularly food
stuffs.
It asked, among other , thingsVtat
"at the next session of Parliament' the
subject of high prices be given prece-
dence over all other subjects for dis-
cussion in view of its importance to
the health of the nation, " One res-
olution stated that the-association was
very seriously concerned about the ris-
ing price line and "is determined to
make a thorough investigation into the
increase in the prices of bread, meat,
butter and milk especially,"
The brief set out the six-point pro-
giant which the association laid out for
study and action, including prices, plan-
ned spending and saving, standards,
housing, the home market and foreign
trade. It also urged the Government
to do everything in its power to hold
off further increase in the cost of es-
sential foods until the pripes of other
commodities have become stabilized,
Canadian women will receive with
enthusiasm this news that at last some-
thing is very definitely being done to
check and lower the cost-of-living in
Canada. This new organization is ded-
icated to improving the standard of
living in Canadian homes by giving
consumers a united voice in matters
that are their immediate concern. Fur-
nished with an organizational grant of
$15,000 by the Government, the group
has elected executive and will soon be-
gin, a campaign for members across
the country. * * *
CANADIAN POPULATION
12.5 MILLION
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics
disclosed fecently that the June1, 1947
population of Canada was estimated at
12,582,000 compared with a population
of 12,307,000 on the corresponding
date in 1940, This gain of 275,000
was the largest numerical increase for
any year since Confederation.
The increase since the last Domin-
ion-wide census was taken in 1941 was
1,075,000, a gain of more than nine per
cent, All provinces except Prince Ed-
ward Island showed higher population
figures in 1947 than they did in 1946,
Populations of Ontario, Quebec and
British. Columbia made the largest
gains,
The estimated population by prov-
inces (totals for the preceding year in
brackets) are; Ontario 4,189,000 (4,10-
1,000); Quebec 3,712,000 (3,080,000 ;
British Columbia 1,044,000 (1,003,000);
Saskatchewan 842,000 (333,000); Al-
berta 822,000 iso3,00); Manitoba 743,
000; (727000); Nova Scotia, 321,090,
(612,000) ;,..New Brunswick, 491,000,
(480,000); Prince Edward Island 94,-
000 (94,000). The estimates for the
Yukon and Northwest Territories were
8,000 and 16,000 respectively,

CANADA ON UN COUNCIL
Canada has been elected a member
of the United Nations Council and all
Canadians will take pride in this honor
which has been bestowed on the Dom-
inion. In theory the Connell in the
Cabinet or Executive Committee of
UN. There are eleven members on the
Council, and the Big Five—Britain,
The United. States, The Soviet Union,
China and France, hold permanent
seats, while the six non-permanent
members, of which Canada is now one,
hold office for a term of two years.
Due to the Soviet Unions' persistent
use of its power to veto decisions, the
Council has been 'unable to grapple
effectively with the international issues
brought before it. With altered rules,
of procedure, the Council can yet be-
come a powerful agent of peace and
the nucleus of a genuine world-gover-
ment: Canada may play a great role
in moulding the great decisions that
may result in the Charter being amend-
ed to curtail or do away with the pow-
ers of veto now held by the Big Five,
if she accepts her responsibility and
adopts a positive line on international
issues.

ANTIQUATED BRIDGES
HAZARDOUS
There are many small bridges on
Ontario's "back roads", and also some
on more important roads, which are
antiquated and hazardous to traffic,
They are in an advanced stage of decay
as the result of inadequate mainten-
ance work during the war years. Some
bridges on important highways are too
narrow or too weak to carry the heavy
trucks and other vehicles which must
pass over them. They should have
been replaced by wider and stronger
structures long ago.
There are several bridges in the
antiquated category in and near Wing-
i ham which are dangerous links in the
'road system. In fact there are at least
six bridges within a mile of the center
of Wingahm which should be replaced
at once by wider and stronger spans.
There have been many accidents and
many near-accidents iii these bridges.
They are the spans over the Maitland
river on Helena street near the Hydro
Station, on Macintosh Street, on Main
(Josephine) street and the three just
south of the town on the Delgrave
road,
Many municipalities have posted
signs on bridge apprpaches warning
truck drivers of the permissible load
limit and the onus is on drivers to
obey these warnings, but many con-
tinue to risk bridge collapse or penal-
ties of a fine if caught, and too many
accidents still occur. As soon as labor
