joi n Chureh
After several weeks of preparatory
lessons .conducted by Rev. R. A.
Rrook, nine young people joined the
United Church at the Sunday morn-
ing serviee. They were Allen Nichol-
son, .lames Darling, Harry Darling,
Cavel Ruttan, Jean Hall, Verna.
Wheeler, Joyco Hoffman, Jack Hor-
ton and 'Wm, Teo. George T. Thom-
son and Milton Fraser represented
the session in welcoming the candi-
dates into churph membership, Mr,
Brook presented certificates of mem-
bership to the young people, also cer-
tificates of baptism to those recently
baptized, The sermon was based on
the text, "Thou are not yet fifty years
old," a criticism hurled at Jesus by
the Pharisees but a compliment to
those who join the church in their
tender years. The church needs the
young people today, when it wants to
be at its best. The choir sang "God's
Little 'While,"
Mr. MacLean, a 1951 graduate of
Knox College,. Toronto, had charge of
the service at Knox Presbyterian
church. He compared the -question
asked by the rich young ruler, "What
shall I do to. inherit eternal life?"
and that asked by the keeper of the
jail, "What must I do to be. saved?"
the different answers given and the
effect on the questioner,. George
Moffatt sang as a solo, "The Lord's
Prayer." The service next Sunday will
be on fast time.

Are YQB Inflated or Deflated?
Prices in all lines seem to be jet -propelled—upwards
that is. \\''hen the little Nvouian announced that a new pair
01 size 00 boots fur the baby $4.00 we nearly blew all
our gaskets. After .counting to a hundred and thinking-
deeply we realized that the price of babies boots is just
about ill line with everything else. There seems to be no
end to the breath-taking upward trend in the prices
of all commodities.
Actually, persons such as ourselves who are in busi-.
tress are the least afflicted, for we have the necessary alter-
native to starvation—we can and are forced to increase
the prices of the goods and services we have to offer. it is
the folks who live on fixed incomes who suffer most in-
tensely in times of inflation. A pensioner, for instance, who
was able to get along in modest comfort on 840.00 a month
ten years ago is today an occupant of an old people's home
unless he had kind relatives or a new source of income.
Inflation is an insidious thing, None of us are sharp
enough to make accurate and constant comparisons with
the normal periods when a dollar bought just an average
amount of food or clothing. Actually dollars spent on the
necessities, those items on which the cost of living index is
based, are worth only about 60 cents compared with the
rire-war level, according to the figures the government re-
leases in this regard. They place the cost of living index at
something over 170 per cent of the '1939 figure. Even at
that we often wonder where the government statisticians
get their basic figures„ for there seem to be months at a
time when we can be certain that the cost of living is much
higher than 170 per cent of normal.
