to think that this might indeed be

an expression in her eyes as they

"Tips, darling! How nice to see
you!" she said warmly.
Tips rose to his feet. If she
thought it nice to see him, he clearly
didn't feel the same way about her.
This was obvious from his expres-
sion. He said, in some embarrass-
ment, "Hello, Iris. I didn't know you

(By Jim Greenblat)
In the House" of Commons, July
.7th, the Honorable •.1. h! Ilsley,
Dominion Minister of Finance,
gave some 'time to the explana-
tion of, the cost -of -living index,
particularly interesting in the
light of present discussions of
food prices. Jim Greenblat gives
the gist of Mr. Ilsley's remarks,
in non-technical language, as fol •
-
lows:
The ebst of living Index as related
to the cost of living bonus doesn't di-
rectly worry the farmer, small pro-
prietor and such Iike, but indirectly
everyone should have the low down
in their minds about this important
part of our national economy if they
don't wish to get too provincial in
their thinking. '
' Let's review the matter informally
80 you'll remember it without any ef-
fort. The cost of living index •meas-
ures the month-to-month change in
the cost of living of the average typi-
cal• wage-earner's family, by the Bur-
eau of Statistics. It is based on a
full year record, made in 1937-38.on
1,500 Canadian families, averaging 4.6
Persona with an average income of
$1,453. The index was in six main
groups, showing food to take 31 ,per
cent of the income, fuel and light- 6
per cent, housing 19 per cent, cloth-
ing 12 per cent, home furnishings and
services 9 per cent, and miscellaneous
three per cent. ,

thane have changed a lot since 1937-

Food Prices Up
It is interesting to note in passing
that cost of food rose 11.8 since the
war started, most of it since the ceil-
ing was slapped, on. MrsaHousewife
obviously is more 'aware of this, be-
cause it's a kitchen. and ,personal prob-
lem. But on items hubby pays for
mainly, the rise shows in the lower
bracket, i.e. fuel and light 14.1, hous-
ing, 7.4, clothing 20.3. The total cost
of living index rose 17.6 since August,
1939, but only. 2.2' of it since api5lica-
tion of the price ceiling.
o keep track of changes the Bur-
eau not only relies on price` reports
from storekeepers, but uses informa-
tion from their regional- setups. And
don't °think for a minute that' repres-
entatives fail to visit small centres
for that purpose. They do, definite-
ly.

an erratic thing. You know what it's

Sure enough, a mouth later (to save
