They might be members of an excursion coming into Western Ontario to see -what goes on at the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival. W. G. Urquhart, manager of the Midwestern Ontario Devel- opment Association, outlining a three-year program for putting MODA on the map, told repre- sentatives of Perth County Municipal councils Thursday. night the syrup festival was just one of the attractions this. Deveiopmen area could use to lift itself by its own bootlaces -- or syrup bucket "handles. r.,.Urquhart, asking the four counties in MODA Huron, Perth, Waterloo and Welling- ton—to increase their member- ship embership fees to raise $120,000 in the next three years for a pro- motional program, received some unofficial hacking at the meeting in Brodhagen. Councillors agreed with Perth County Warden Albert Carson that participation should be on a county basis rather than by THIS WEEK AND NEXT by Ray Argyle DAYS. OF EASY MONEY To the housewife watching prices go up on bread, milk and other foods, to the worker look- ing at his reduced take-home pay because of pension deduc- tions, and to the. employer searching for revenue to meet wage demands, it seemed this week as if the price spiral might be getting out of hand. The steady rise in prices and wages of the past several years has cushioned Canadians to the idea of creeping inflation, But in recent weeks, it seemed the price increases that are normal- ly spread' over many months were coming all at once. Has the boom become too hot to handle? Have the days of easy money= --for most, but not all Canadians '— reached their point of reckoning? Despite Prime Minister Pear - son's statement that the Gov- ernment has no intention of in- troducing premature measures against. inflation, there is mounting Wonder across the country if the time has not ar- rived to slow down the boom before it becomes a bust. The PM made reassuring com- ments in receiving a delegation from the Canadian Labor Con- gress. The Congress was in Ot- tawa fo tell 'the government they have been able to find no evidence of inflation in Canada. There is no need for price or wage restraints, the CLC told the government. It would have been political- ly embarrassing for Mr. Pear- son to have answered any dif- ferently, Facing inflation is like Cashier Trainee For Local Supermarket PART TIME Experience preferred ..but not essential.

But ironically, another labor delegation showed up in 'Ot- .tawa at about the same time. Quebec's Confederation of Na- tional Trade ::.Unions went be- fore the Cabinet to argue in favor of a federal price control board. Companies wishing . to increase prices would have to justify them before getting ap- proval, Short of wartime conditions, such a proposal is unacceptable to Canadians. But there was somewhat more merit in the CNTU's reminder that wage in- creases are not, always the main cause of price boosts. -They are not, although they are a con- venient blame. Inflation usually occurs when manufacturing industries are operating close to capacity, and when there - ia enough pur- chasing power around so that people will pay higher prices, even though they gripe ,while doing so. Exactly this situation applies in Canada today. In addition, the expansion of government spending and wel- fare programs is generating more consumer purchasing pow- er. The new ,purchasing power is coming not out of higher .earnings from a .more produc- tive economy, but from re -dis- tribution of money from tax payers who would normally save a xortion of their income, 'to citizens with such low in- comes that they must immedi- ately spend any benefits receiv- ed. Ottawa's 1966.67 spending program will reach. almost $10 billion. Mr. Pearson accepts an old age pension increase as "in- evitable." Whether further tax increases can be avoided •de- pends not only on whether the economy continues to boom (in which 'case we might get away without major increases) hut on what fiscal policy, the govern- ment adopts. If Ottawa decides that ,infla- tion is -a threat, it could opt for austerity by . raisings : taxes to curb spending power; by insti- tuting credit controls requiring substantial down payments for anything bought on time: and by using .the Bank of Canada to raise interest . rates and ,so curb borrowings. These measures would be ex- ceedingly unpopular. Il k to be hoped they "won't be needed. An inflation of two per cent per year is apparently acceptable to present-day economistq. Iit�t if prices continue, to rise this year at the rate they have through January and February, we could be over the two per cent mark by fall,' J - .i Thus, it is the rate of increase which must be watched. . Food prices, for example, have in- creased 36 per cent in Canada since 1949 but wages went up 117 per cent in the same period. No one Will '"get hurt at that rate. The overall cost of living index has risen 43 per cent since 1949, but workers are much better off today than 17 years ago. Average industrial wages rose by more than six per cent in the last year alone. About all we can do is relax and enjoy . the ..days of easy money—and hope they don't get lob easy.
