She is quite aware that food costs have soared, and was not surprise& when the Cost of Living Index at March 1st. last showed food at 244.4 compared with 100 for the base period of 1935-39. The Dairy Farmers of Canada, faced with rising costs like everyone else,. are pleased to draw attention to the fact that Dairy Products in the same index stood at 200.1 while other foods in the index were 247.5. The price of Dairy Products is not at all out of line with other items in the Cost of Living Index, nor with wages in industry. While milk, butter and cheese stand at 200.1, clothing stands at 196.6 and home furnishings at 199.3. Wages based on hourly rates of pay in Canada stood at 226.8 as of Dec, 1, 1950, according to Department of Labour Statistics.

A phote of Sea Biscuit, garlanded with roses, in the winner's. circle. And you can almost breathe the dust, as the immortal Ty -Cobb is pictured Sliding home in a baseball contest. A cocky young guy, racking his cue after a game, SANS in contempt at a row of boxing greats oat -of the past, such as John L. Sullivan, Jim Cor- bett, Attel--and others than hang on a nearby wall. Addressing hie young pals, he said sarcastically: "Sullivan, Corbett, At, tel—what a bench of palookas, Why they'd be a, joke in the ring with modern fighter". "Take a guy like HestrY Armstrong. Now there was a fighter. He not only held a world title, but was champion in three classes--the feath- er, lightweight and welterweight divis- ions—all at one and the same time, Did you ever hear of any old timer doing a stunt like that?" A tall, slim Man, with streaks of gray in his coal black hair, looks up slowly from the newspaper he is reading and a far away look comes Into his eyes. BIS Memory goes back to an even- ing in March 1916, The scene—the old Madison Square Gardens on 24th 'Street, New York. The occasion--the National Amateur Athletic ljnion boxing finals, For two days, young hopeful ama- teur fighters from all ptarts of the country have been throwing leather in two rings, far into the night, in preliminary bouts, with the last setto ending as late as two in the morn- ing. But this was the final night in which one, and only one man, would be proclaimed national amateur champ in his particular weight divis- ion for the ensuing year. Already the bantam, feather, light- weight and welter kings had been crowned and now the struggle for the middleweight championship was und- erThveaYbout ends and a lad just able to make the middleweight class of one hundred fifty-five pounds is led to the centre of the ring. His hand is raised in victory by the referee. "The winnah--John Gaddi of New York City." The defeated fighter leaves the ring, but strangely, Gaddi still sits in his corner. And he remains sitting, while the next boxer enters the squared circle. The announcer booms out: "Final bout for the lightheavy weight title," And the erstwhile middleweight king strides once more to the middle of the ring for instructions. The bout . ends with Gaddi far a- head on points. And again John is led in triumph to be proclaimed a second time as champ—now as the lightweight monarch. Once more the loser departs in de- jection, but again John Gaddi, now middleweight and lightheavy weight champion, remains on his stool. And he's still sitting there when a giant of a lad enters the ring, The bell clangs for attention and the fog- horn voice of the master of ceremon-' Fes echoes throughout the barnlike structure; "The last and feature bout of the evening. For the National Am- ateur Athletic Union heavyweight championship." Gaddi for the third time walks to the centre for instructions and looks like a small boy alongside his heavier and taller opponent. But his rival's weight anti height is to no avail against the pounding fists The following pupils of Miss Mar- garet Jefferson were prim„winners at the music festival at eederich .04t week, Grace Thompson, Louise Jef- ferson, Chamney, Bobby ferson and Billie Thompson.

The ship herself was news—the world's largest lake tanker on her maiden voyage. Even greater news was her cargo—the first shipment of Alberta oil into the Ontario market. This new market for western crude will increase Canada's oil production by almost a half. It means a further saving in foreign. exchange; 40 million dollars available if needed for other purposes. It gives the Prairies a bigger market in the east and, consequently, the east a bigger market in the Prairies, Above all, it makes Canada surer of oil supplies in peace or war. Arrival of the "Imperial Leduc" at Sarnia began a new chapter in the story of Canada's economic development—a nation more prosperous and more secure.
