This lead created'a problem for the
declarers, and several of them failed
to find the correct solution, The ten

On the other hand, to play the
king wopld be futile if it was found
later that the opponents trumps didn't
break. In this case either play was
doomed to failure.
The solution was to discard the
jack of diamonds on this trick. It was
a sure loser anyway and, as is easily
seen, this play made the contract safe

Wingham Advance-Times• COST OF LIVING HIGHER
IN CANADA
We generally think of food prices
being higher in the''Cnited States than
in Canada, but such is not the case
in Washington, D. C., just' now, and
the same is true of much of the U. S.
In an article by Bruce ?Vest, in the
Globe and Mail recently, he quoted
some food and other prices in the U.
S. capital, which should be of interest
to Canadians. Canadian prices of copt-
modifies often follow the American
trend so maybe prices in this country
will soon begin to decline. At least we
hope so.
Here are some of his quotations:
Sliced bacon is 53 cents a pound por;k
loin roasts sell at 39 cents a pound;
short ribs of beef bring 35 cents a
pound, Margarine (including one of
the identical brands now selling in
Canada at 45 cents a pound is 35
cents a pound. Sausage sells at 37
cents a pound and frying chickens are
47 cents a pound. Lard is 17 cents a
pound and large eggs are 57 cents a
dozen,
He also quotes candy bars at six
for 23 cents and cigarettes at 16 cents
a pack. Then he branches out a bit and
says that television sets are as low
as $99; washing machines $69; small
radio-phonograph combinations with
automatic record changer for $29; vac-
uum cleaners for $27,50; electric re-
frigerators for $199 and bed sheets for
$1.86. * * *
CHINESE REDS WANTS
VIRTUAL SURRENDER
With the government unable to win
independent leftwing backing in Shan-
ghai and Red troops pushing unop-
posed toward the Yangtze River, the'
North Shensi Radio announced recent-
ly Communist willingness to discuss
peace with Acting President Li Tsung-
jen's negotiators on terms amounting
to virtual surrender. The Communists
made it clear that. they were sticking
to Mao Tze-tung's eight-point peace
proposal which calls for abolition of
the present central regime and punish-
ment of war criminals.
Their broadcast, which mentioned
Peiping as a probable site for peaee
negotiations, emphasized that the Nan-
king delegates would be regarded as
representatives of a regime that no
longer represented the people. Accord-,
ing to an unnamed Communist spokes-
man the Reds are 'willing to deal with
Nanking delegates only because the
central government still has a part of
the remaining reactionary military
strength in their hands.
The Communists served notice that
the •43 Kuomingtang leaders listed as
war criminals on Christmas Day were
only the first batch and that a com-
plete list had not yet been published.
Although the Reds seem to have been
successful in using their war criminal
list for purposes of intimidation, they
have also hammered home the point
that they will not permit dilution of
their projected coalition by any Nan-
king political bloc,

FIFTH SESSION OF CANADA'S
20th PARLIAMENT OPENS
With traditional ceremonies the 5tlf
'session of Canada's 20th parliament
opened in Ottawa on January 26th,
This session is already a historic oc-
casion because it brought face to face
on the floor of the House two new
party leaders in the new Prime Mini-
ster Louis St, Laurent and the new
Progressive' Conservative Leader, Col-
onel 'George Drew.
The Speech from the Throne prom-
ised at least 18 specific items of legis-
lation, in addition to the Newfound-
land bills, and observers at Ottawa
point out that it has all the appearance
of a pre-election document. The pro-
mise to share the cost of a trans-Can-
ada highway, extended mothers' allow-
ances, and tax reductions, if they ma-
terialize, all look to be well timed be-
fore an election, **

WEEKLY THOUGHT
Remember you have once been
young, and never forget you may
one day be old.
THE IRONY OF LIFE
Man comes into the world without
his consent, and, as a rule, leaves it
against his will. During his stay on
earth his time is spent in one contin-
uous round of contraries and misun-
derstandings. His neighbour knows
more about his family and business
than he knows himself. In his infancy
he is an angel, in his boyhood lie is a
devil, in his manhood he is anything
from a lizard up, in his duties he is a
condemned fool.
If he raises a big family he is a
chump, is a brute, and carries out the
,Scriptural injunction, "Multiply and
replenish the earth"; if he raises a
cheque he is a thief, and then the law
raises "lades with him!: if he is a poor
man with a loveable wife and a nice,
big family, he is a poor manager and
has na sense; if he is a rich man, well
educated, with a "society" wife an
no family, lie is dishonest; but con-
sidered smart; if he is in politics, he is,
a grafter and a crook; if he is out of
politics, you can't place him, as he is
an "undesirable citizen."
If he goes to church he is a hypo-
crite; if he stays away from church he
is a sinner; if he donates to foreign
missions, he does it for show; if he
doesn't give to foreign missions, he is
stingy and a "tightwad"; if he suc-
ceeds in his legal profession, he is a
swindler, and if he is a failure, he is
brainless and a burden to his parents
and relatives; if he is a newspaper
man, he knows everything or nothing,
and doesn't know anything, anyhow;
if he owns gold bricks, he should be
in jail, 'but if poor, the House of Re-
fuge, is his lot.
When lie first comes into the world
everybody wants to kiss him; before
he goes out they all want to kick him.
If lie dies young, there was a bright
future before him; if he lives to a ripe
old age, he is in the way, living only
to save funeral expenses. So life is a
funny proposition after all. And after
all, life is worth living. Do you not
think so? We do, even in such a world
of misery, Every cloud has a silver
lining, (Ed. note: so reads an exchange
'of forty years ago, but it applies to life
just as well today. At least we think
so. How about you ).

the stove was lifted clear and the tin
,removed. Flames immediately burst
forth and a hole was chopped in the
floor before the fire could lie exting-

ashes were taken out of thotstove, all-
owing too much heat on the tine,

SHORTAGE OF SNOW
,WORRIES FARMERS
The Provincial Agriculture Depart-
ment's weekly report last week, said
lack of snow as protection for crops,
especially fall wheat, is causing grave
concern to all Ontario. Farmers. In
Southern Ontario, a covering of snow
is needed for winter wheat and for
seedings.
Eastern Ontario reports very little
snow and conditions are much the
same in Central nand Southwestern
Ontario. Quick changes in temperature
from very cold to quite mild are very
hard on the fall wheat, unless there is
an ample covering of snow,
In the Wingham district the winter
so far has been exceptionally mild
with very little real cold weather and
hardly any snow. Much of the time the
ground has been quite bare, which is
certainly unusual since we are in the
snow belt. However, freezing nights
and thawing days are bad for the fall
wheat so some good falls of snow will
be appreciated,
No damage has resulted as yet to
fruit farms in Southern Ontario, but
they also need snow. When we get
too much snow it seems a nuisance,
but too little can also cause troubles
and worries. This part of Canada
needs a fair covering of snow each
winter to protect the seeded grain and
plant life in our fields and forests, and
also the orchards.

The rate of interest earned on the
