The ingrease fal'louvs a, ruling of The Milk Commission of Ontario after hearing an ap- peal made by the dairies. against a larger increase proposed by the Board. Although the figure amounts to less than a cent a quart to the dairy farmer, it . is not known at this time what the, ef- fect on thesconsumer price will ....-•-be. Wholesale and retail pricea, are established by individual dairies and stores in response to competitive forces. In announcing the milk producers' first increase since September 1971, Mr." McLaughlin stated that the 35 cent per hundredweight figure represented less'than.,a five per cent increase in the price for uid milk and did not,in fact reflect ,the increases in costs which ther°darry farmer has had to face aver the last 16 months. As 'an exa i;pit, Mr. McLaughlin cited Canadian Livestock Feed Board- 'figures showing that the cost of feed grains for cattle had risen alar- mingly in the last year.- Oati-,. have risen, 34 per, cent while corn and• soy meal have- risen 23 per cent and 41 per cent respectively. In addition, daily farm wages rose 9.5 per cent between Adgust 1971 ane' August 1972. Even more distur- bing is that many of these -costs are continuing to climb. Added to this, dairy farmers have had. to cope with some of the worst weather conditions in Years. 'The poor quality of the winter feed reduces the milk yeild, and to keep the. public supplied farmers are forced to buy more of, the expensive grain supplements and so are caught in a vicious circle that drives their costs still higher. Because of these circumstan- ces, Mr. M.t`Laughlin explained, dairy farmers had hoped. fcir something better than the 35 cents.decided upon by the Com- mission. "After all" he added, "The cltt'iry farmer, just like any other con'lin er, is 'faced with �r. a. 'AOi 1z CODERICI SIGNAL -:STAR.

Dear Ann Landers: S}Tortly y Dear Mrs.: It would be useful before I married C, a friend., if you could learn why you have told me that he and three other «, .,,transferred 'the guilt that should, be C's to yourself. Such irttrospectidh would require considerable therapy. A simpler ,volution would be to pay the $:150 yourself.

"I see you received a let- ter from Tom. Does he like the Army any better now?" Her anser: "It's none of your business what's in my mail." (How's THAT for corn- munication?) I decided it might have been too personal a question so I tried again. "Mr. and Mrs. -James are going to E pe next week." Her clipp�edreply: "I couldn't care less what those old fogies do."• One more try: "Martha Jones has a new midi coat butI don't think she's tall enough for it.".
