Dear Sir: dt
The following from Vancouver,
B.C., is very interesting, and how
you, Mr. Editor could have miss-
ed this one is beyond my imagina-
tion.
A vivid picture of what has-hap-
penned in ,the last ten years; to
the prices .a supermarket paysl for
the food products it buys and those
it charges for what it sells ',was
presented, to the Stewart Rbyal
Commission on price spreads 133,i the
British Columbia., Department of
Agriculture. 't,
It showed that while the com-
pany's purchase price of beef is
virtually unchanged from 1948, it
is charging 60 per cent more
for sirloin steak and. 22 per 'Cent
more for hamburg. Other items
included pork, buying price down
2 per 'cent, sales price up 20' per
cent; frying chicken and Owl,
buying price „down 11 per dent,'
sales price up 9 per cent; potatoes,
buying price down 10 per cent, iales
price up 4 per cent arid eggs, buy-
ing price down 7 cents a dozen,
sales price down 1 cent.
This, Mr. Editor, .reminds me
of the boot and shoe merchant, Who
got so entangled' in his endeavor
to sell a customer the idea, that
wages were responsible for the
high price of his shoes that he
neglected to sell the customer the.
shoes.
Mr. Editor, would it be in order
to ask a favor off you, and give the
readers of your valuable paper -a
clear picture of, that new era:'(as
thy liked to call it) that was usher-
ed in at the close. of the War No. 2,
and that other grand idea known
as immigration. Now Mr. Editor
don't' be timid, if you get lost
again, be sport enough to help
you find your way back, in fact I'll
just start you on the right road
now.
This new era and the rest cif it
didn't happen to be the result of a
war or the aftermath of one,
but planned and got ready for op-
eratienc, at a time when the boys
were still fighting overseas and
the *working force at home, were
working under what was known as
a wage, and job freeze. This in-
formation about what was to hap-
pent was released to myself ''rind
,some others in the form of type
written material through the Mail
over the signature' of managernent.
(This Mr. Editor could have come
as a threat or well meant advice,
it came in detail with one except-
ion (namely) what effect it would
have on the cost of living.

Indic ations on the federal 11011s-
inp.; front are that it's going to be
easier for the people in Canada's
smaller communities to build a home
with Federal assistance.
Late in 1957 Ottawa made $300,
million available for housing. This
money was used by Central Mort-
gage and Housing -Corporation, the
Government's housing agency, tO:
make loans under its various lending
programmes, and when Parliament
voted an additional $350 million in.
CMHC was directed to ensure
that its lending facilities were avail-
able in smaller municipalities.
People who live'in centres of less
than 55,000 population have been
eligible for CMHC direct loans, pro-
vided they would normally qualify
for a regular National Housing Act
loan from a private lender.
The Corporation's direct loans,
work much the same as the regular
NHA loans, the only difference be-.
ing that instead of getting the
money from a lender you get it from

CIVIC HOLIDAY—A
HAZARD
"Civic Holiday, celebrated
throughOut Ontario on August 4th,
brings a welcome break at the height
of the summer season," Hon. M. B,
Dymond, M.D., Ontario Minister of
Transport pointed out today. "The
province will be on holiday and most
of our people will be travelling in
cars. Combined with the influx of
vacationing tourists from the United
States ancrsother:provinces of Can-:
ada, the pressure on our highways
will"he tremendous.
"No week-end passes without a
al tragic and unnecessary motor
vehicle accidents. Long week-ends
are particularly hazardousi very
largely because too many. 'people
attempt to go too far, too fast.
There are safe limits of physical en-
durance and mental alertness, be-
yond which it is dangerous to go,
There are sensible speeds that keep
you in step with the traffic and ,avoid
conflict.
"Most drivers are aware of all
these conditions," the Minister said,
"and know that risks are introduced
when they are neglected, but again
and, again, drivers 441.,negject to do
things they know they ought to do,
or take chances against extremely
poor odds and sooner or later meet
AS t43;• - !",:t st,77,4 •qf,!„,...-"p*„Wlr•Vr1
•
"Undoubtedly, `speed too fast. for
conditionS' is the most frequent,
violation of sound common sense.
One eXtremely poor driving practice
is entering curves beyond control-
lable speeds. Over the Civic Holi-
day week-end last year, at least
seven of the 22 fatal accidents occur-
red when drivers were unable to hold
their cars to the road on curves.
There were seven more 'out of con-
trol' fatal accidents on that week,
end.
"All of us now have an equal
chance to enjoy an accident-free holi-
day. But unless each of us starts
the week-end with a determination
to drive sensibly and to fit our travel
requirements into those of other
road users, we are risking disaster.
At no time on the road is it safe to
neglect the rules of good driving."

:1(tHAT DOES A ,JOB COST?
Imagine a marl walking into,
shall we say a printing shop looking
for a job and being told that he eotild
start work Monday—provided he
brought his own linotype machinel
He could be forgiven if he figur-
ed the offer somewhat unusual, but
sometimes we wonder how many em-
ployees in manufacturing industry
.have ever figured out, first, where
the . money comes from to provide
them with the tools of production
and, second, just what is the dollars-
and-cents cost of providing them
with their jobs,
•
If they think about it at all,
they will, after a moment or so of
reflection, realize that the money
comes from individuals who are
willing to take a chance on the suc-
cess of the enterprise but who are
equally aware that profits, unlike
death and taxes can never be guar-
anteed.
This is simple enough, but esti-
mating fhe'cost of their job might be
a little More difficult.
,Assuming that more people are
aware that, in these days of ad-
vancing technology, machinery and .
equipment is becoming more compli-
cated' and expensive, and that More
investment money is needed to pro-
vide more jobs, nevertheless it might
well come as a bit of a shock to learn
that average capital investment per
employee in Canadian manufactur-
ing industry in 1957 was $11,446.
This figure was obtained from
the sales' dollar breakdown survey
conducted annually by the C.M.A.
among its meinber companies in all
rovinces of Canada. It Must be
pelled out that it is an average
figure; obviously job costs in heavy
industry tend to be higher than in a
small operation with less expensive
plant and equipment,
It might also be noted that, hand
in hand with the expansion of manu-
facturing in Canada in the last ten
years, the investment per worker has
been steadily rising. In .1948,. the
year the Association's annual study
was begun, the figure was $6,433.
Five rears later it had risen to
$10,793.
All of which goes to show that, in
this era of rising costs, the provision
of new jobs is becoming an increas-
ingly expensive proposition. ,For-
tuhately, this is not deterring the
army of investors which has com-
plete faith in Canada's future.,
MOST DROWNINGS
NEEDLESS
People in all walks of life were
stunned recently when the news of
the deaths by drowning of five
RCMP officers reached the papers.
In Ontario last year, 416 lives
were lost in the war. One hundred
and thirty-font died while boating,
147 slipped lath the water to their
deaths and 77 drowned while swim-
tning.
