Except for beef prices, which are expected to decline by the end of the year, the consumer can expect to pay more for most food items during the next six months or even a year. The Food Prices Review Board said in July that it "sees reason for some optimism in respect to th6 overall food prices picture"". The board based its conclusions on the belief that "forces of supply and demand now appear to be working their way into a better state of balance which is decreasing the rate of price in- creases."

Personals Louis Dietrich and brother Eugene and Timmy Dietrich, London have returned home after However, although food prices are unlikely to keep moving up at the speed seen in the last two years (37 per cent from June 1972 to June 1974) some further large increases are clearly on the way, Rising costs of ingredients, packaging, transportation and labour will provide some of the push in keeping food prices high. The area where the biggest price leaps can be expected is in canned goods, The food processing industry has predicted retail price in- creases of 30 percent to 40 per- cent for canned and frozen vegetables by this autumn. These big increases in canned vegetable prices are coming almost a year later than most food price increases because last spring when the 1973 prices were being negotiated, the prices were set before it became evident how sharply other prices in the economy would rise. The growers settled last year for increases of about 5 percent. This year, the growers feel that they have to catch up for underpayment for their crops in 1973 and to keep pace with prospective inflation this year, In Ontario,the largestvegetable producing province, the price of peas delivered to the processing plant will be up 65 percent to $300 a ton,corn-on-the-cob will be up 75 percent to $55.75, tomatoes will be up 44 percent to $74 a ton, and cucumbers will be up 80 percent to 140 percent over 1973 prices. The prices of other vegetable crops such as beets, carrots, cabbage, pumpkins, beans and asparagus will rise propor- tionately. For the consumer, this will probably mean that a 14-ounce tin of fancy grade peas will likely increase to 35 cents this fall from 29 cents. A 14 ounce tin of choice grade corn, now 27 c , will sell for about 34 c. Prices on most canned vegetables will increase by 6 c to 10 c a tin. Canned fruit prices will also increase because tin cans, sugar, fuel and labour cost more. The cost of cans is up 11 percent over last year, cardboard cartons 6 percent, fuel arr estimated 60 percent and printed waxed cardboard boxes for frozen vegetables are up 32 percent in addition to labour cost increases, The growers also demanded higher prices for their crops betatiSe' they say they can easily" switch into alternative crops which are more attractively priced. Tomatoes, for example, are a highly profitable crop but they are also risky and troublesome. So when corn can be sold for $3 a bushel and soybeans for $5 to $6 Church News On Sunday morning during the Sunday School hour, pictures were shown. Diplomas and seals were given out. Diplomas, Tracy flied, Heather Ried; 2nd year seal, Julie Lamport, Barry Cun- nington; 6th year seal, Alan Hodgert, Gerald Cunnington; 7th year seal, Paul Stewart, Michael Stewart, Pat Hodgert, Scott Hodgert.

(the present prices), growers will not grow tomatoes or any other vegetable crop unless they are offered a good price, Most far- mers in the vegetable-growing areas are not highly specialized, let alone wedded to a single crop. They tend to switch readily into the crops that offer the highest return, Price increases in milk and milk products are expected to be large also. Farmers are seeking price increases both for in- dustrial (butter, cheese, milk powder) and fluid milk which they must have in order to meet their increasing costs of production. If the consumer had to pay directly for the requested in- crease, butter could go up 18 c per pound (it is now around 90 c per pound depending on the type) and a pound of powdered skim milk by about 8 c from 79 c . Sugar-based products will also continue to rise in price because no letdown of sugar prices seems in sight. Retail price in the Toronto area of a ten pound bag of white sugar was $1.43 - $1.49 early last fall. It rose to $3.35 - $3,49 by late winter and has stayed there ever since. The price increase is a result of demand exceeding supply the last three years and of con- sequent speculation in sugar futures. Sugar prices will likely stay high primarily because Brazil's crop was damaged by heavy rains and most of Cuba's crop is expected to go to the Soviet Union. Fruit canners, bakers, confectioners and soft drink manufacturers are all hard hit by the high price of sugar. Canadian egg and turkey prices - said to be the higheseln the world and about one third higher than in the U.S. - will probably remain at this peak. Bread will move slightly up- ward because of rising ancillary costs in flour production and plastic bread bags. Baking flour'. bought in the supermarket by the consumer will probably increase about 5 percent because of the rising costs of flour millers. Cake mixes will likely increase by 10 percent - 12 percent primarily due to sugar prices but also because of increased labour, packaging and shortening costs. For the past year, beef has been the focal point of consumer, discontent over escalating fond prices. Beef prices now seem" be on a downward path. However, this may not be VerY long-lasting. In Toronto, beef prices per hundred weight have been as low as $45.00 as com- pared with a peak of $62 last summer. By late fall, prices could be in the mid $40 range or maybe lower. This decline in price from about $60.00 to $45.00 means an average saving at the retail level of around 15c to 30 c per pound, depending on the cut. Fish prices are expected to remain fairly stable (except for lobster and shrimp). The most substantial decrease has been for fresh and frozen ocean perch. Indications are that pork prices may be headed for large in- ceeases. The glut of hogs on the market appears to be finished, The constant spiral in food prices has prompted some buyer substitution, especially among low-income families and those on fixed incomes but substitution is not as much help as it used to be. It used to be possible to substitute poultry for beef and hamburger for steak but now these sub- stitutes have gone up too. Although this article may not strike the most optimistic note from a consumer's standpoint particularly those on low and fixed incomes, it is only on the basis of an appreciation of the situation that together we can begin to work toward reasonable solutions. If you have any ideas about this matter of inflationary prices and how the situation might be rec- tified would you kindly send me your comments either to my home or my office in Toronto.
