LAI RSE SENSE .. B,y . (5051 VON l!"1LIS We hear an awful Jot about the farmers of Canada "pricing themselves out of the market" by asking a fair price for their wheat and other products. We hear that the "excessive" demands of labour for higher wages and social security meas- ures are causing high prices. We hear the president of the National Dairy Council decry- ing floor prices for butter and cheese as "creeping socialism." We hear that marketing boards established for the order- ly marketing of farm products are an "infringement on per- sonal freedom, What we never hear of read of is criticism of high profits made by manufacturers. pro- cessors or distributors. iueply and Demand .Farmers are constantly being told by the press, by presidents of Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade and all kinds of "experts" in trade, commerce and finance to leave the regula- tion of prices to the sacred law of supply and demand. 11 we would only forget about orderly marketing, floor prices and cooperatives and let prices go down and down and down, eventually they would be so low that somebody would buy what we had to sell. Nobody, however, has told us yet how we would pay our taxes, wages, fertilizer, repair parts for old machinery, not to speak of the instalments on new implements, which after all are needed to work the land, pay wuges to the worker in the im- plement industry and pile up the swords for the corporations. Excessive Profits Fenn income has gone down in the hist two years by about 25 per cent. In the same time vests of production have in. creased by more than 6 per. rent. in other words the pair- ehnsing power of the farmer is down over 30 per cent. lriqures for the national in- come of Canada show that In 1953 farmcis had at, even small- er share of the nation's wealth than in the past. Farm opera- tors' share of the total income was 8.7 per cent, while farm operators totalled 13 per cent Of the national labour force. Company reports, however, show record smashing profits for little firms as well as big ones. The increase in net prof- its for 1953 over 1952 were greater than any that have been seen since the days when price controls were lifted. And the first. part of 1954 shows them higher yet. Let's Find Out We submit that excessively high profits are the main cause of high prices, leading to over expansion and eventually to a collapse of the economy. We suggest to the farmers of Canada, especially in Ontario, to raise their voice and demand a public investigation of the re- lationship of wages, prices and profits as a first step to a solu- tion of the problem of unem- ployment and shrinking farm markets. * * This colutnn welcomes eriti- cisco, constructive or destructive, and suggestions, wise or other- wise, and will endeavour to an- swer all questions.

'AEI Mist His Shirt Petting drowsy, H or a c e D e u c 1, of Long Beach, Calif., pulled his car into the grass verge, switched oft' the engine and settled dswn fora snooze. Sometime later, on waking, he was disgruntled to tinct that during his nap, thieves had stolen his watch, wallet and ring -- all without disturbing him. He drove to the nears:et police station to report his loss. Having given the station sergeant de- taile he returned to his car, but . that, too, was missing!

It is my guess that quite a few people are so afflicted, in- cluding myself, for most of us seem to take quite a lot of punishment in search of pleas - bre. However, that's the way it is and I suppose that's the way it will be as long as there is a C,N.15, and people to attend it, I was down Friday and Sat- urday but Partner wouldn't go at all. Last year it was Part- ner went and I who stayed at home. Friday I did not do much else except take in the tea on the Balcony and sit around and talk to press club members whom I knew and a few others that I met for the first time. If you have the same interests it is amazing the number of people you : meet with whom you share mutual acquaintances — that is equally true no matter what your interests may be, That evening the Women's Press Club was putting on a cooking class, demonstrating how to prepare a club -women's lunch." And 3 was awarded two chicken legs, beautifully fried! I took them home t0 Daughter but as there was no one around when I got there (Friday night shop- . ping) I sat down and ate one of the chicken legs myself, since I hadn't bothered with any sup- per eat the "Ex." It was the first time I had ever won any- thing in my life, I suppose Friday and Satur- day set another attendance re- cord but still it seemed easy enough to get around, and the weather was perfect. Of course I took care to avoid places where the crowd seems to con- gregate, It is funny, the, how each building draws a particular type of people, Car -owners and hope-to•be car owners or those looking for a new model, wan- der around the Motor Show for hours. The cattle, horses and other livestock have their own following. Music lovers and those in need of quiet rest ap- preciate the programme at the Band Shell. The Flower Show crowd is not easy to deflate, People just seem to wander aim- lessly in and out -except those who really appreciate and understand the beautiful floral display. There was certainly a wonderful showing of African violets, including several varie- ties I had not seen before, How the people who had the exhibit ever grew enough violets to supply the buying public at the C.N.E. I can't imagine. Their supply seemed inexhaustible and the price very reasonable. If I had to name any one par- ticular building at the C.N.E. as my favourite, 7 think I would say the Ontario Government Building. It has a variety of displays, all of them interest- ing and educational, This year I thought the model of a min- ing district was particularly in- teresting, especially as Daugh- ter was with me and able to explain all the details. Dee spent a week's holiday a few years ago at Bourlemaque where her uncle was stationed for a while. The man in charge heard her telling the this and that and seemed to be somewhat amused. As we passed hinr he remarked: "This young 'lady seems 10 know what she is talk- ing about!" 01 course we s a w all the birds, beasts and fish in that same 'building and one of the beavers really put on a show, Two of them wore sleeping but this fellow was standing up, clinging to the wire fence and accepting bits of cookie from the onlookers. His actions in 501110 respects were similar to those of a monkey -- but far more attractive, A girl kept holding a small piece of cookie its her hand and the beaver would put his hand through the wire fence, pick the cookie out of her hand quite daintily and eat it If the cookie was more than one mouthful he held it with both' hands and nibbled pieces off it. You couldn't speak of his hands as anything 'but "hands" --- no other word would describe them so well. His feet, of course, were wide - webbed after the style of a duck, only bigger. And his. tail—well, I suppose no other animal bas a tail anything like a beaver. We looked at the model lay- out of super -highways, particu- larly 401, but getting any infor- mation from the fellow in charge was like trying to draw blood from a stone. However, I suppose we shall know the de- tails all too soon. Then we had a little conversation with an officer in charge of a police cruiser on display. There has been quite a bit of discussion recently about meclianieal direction signals --do they, or do they not, comply with the law? This officer said: "Technically, yes—if they are in proper works—es. ing order and used properly— but don't trust to them entirely —use your hand too --and be sure you have a good set of tail lights." He seemed so very much in earnest I had a feeling that his experience on highway patrol may have been' pretty grim. Of course, we had to see the Coronation robes and regalia ' with an R. C. M. P. officer in charge. I wondered what mea- sures he would take 10 raise an alarm if anyone took any liber- ties with the display We walked through the train with the glass dome and thought it very wonderful. Some of these coaches are already in use and pulling in and out of the Toronto Union Every day. By next year the C.P.R. expects to have 173 on the rails. I' et's take a trip, shall we? Poor £osephihnel. What is the largest amount seer received by a woman as a dress allowance? Probably the 450,000 francs ($54,000) a year which the ardent Napoleon gave to his Empress Josephine. Josephine was so keen on dress that she sometimes spent more than that annually. In at least one year she spent $120,000. One summer she bought 520 pairs of shoes, 87 hats, 73 cor- sets, and 980 pairs of gloves in addition to many coats, gowns and furs. NO FISH STORY — Little Edgar and Sherry. Lynn Styron didn't catch these huge Blue Marlin, but the photographer caught the record catch. Weighing, from left: 236, 320 and 176 pounds, it is believed that this is the first time three gamin fish of this size, were ever landed in one day off any part en! the United States coast.
