THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1947 FINE WORK OF SALVATION ARMY LTHOUGH the Sallyation Army is not very active in iClinton at the present time, it once was, and stili is, a great force for good in the community, and it is significant to residents of •town land djstriat that 'a Na- tional Red Cross Appeal for $1,000,000 has just eom nenced. The objective for Clinton has been set at $500, and lacking a local campaign organnizatiiony other than that operating in Goderiie'h, those who desire to help this wor- thy work axe requested to leave thea donaitions at one of the local bank ,branches. Other information may be ob- tained from Capt. G. Smith, the young lady in charge of Salvation Army work in Goder ich. Chairman of the cam- paign there is Mr Vice -Marshal J. A. Sully. To mention just one p'hase 'of the Salvation Army's work, illegitimacy, our information is that the .Salvation Amy Rescue Home sided 13 girls from the County of Hniron during the past year. According to Lieut. -Col. Hilda Aldridge, head of the Salvation Army's women's so - vial service work, illegitimacy in Canada !continues to be a vital problem for social agencies. Commenting upon current controversial reports on the subject, Colonel Aldridge said that alecurate informa- tion is almost impossible to iget. The number of married women 'who are mothers to children by other than their husbands adds tothe con- fusion. Such women, registering in hospitals under their married name, lessen'chances of learning the infant's true paternity. The Colonel strongly deplored such moral laxity and was afraid there was "'soave" increase in this type of birth's. In all, 15,864 ihi€ants were born last year in the Army's 31 Women's Homes and hospitals, the Colonel states. Girl's cared for in Receiving 'and-Maiternity Heroes numbered 2,739 with 1,600 infants born to =married mo- thers. In five Sunset Lodges for aged women 324 persons were a'ccommodaJte'd. 1946 was a record year in Salvation Arrny Nurses' Training schools, Colonel Aldridge said. Even so, nursing staffs in Army hospitals are still below strength in view of increasing demands. O 0 C+ GET THE FACTS INCE the government decided tihat the danger of a wartime inflationary panic was over, and that the couniiry Could return to the established system of al- lowiing prices to be fixed by bargaining between producers and consumers, workers and employers, there has, as was quite natural, been a series of !price increases, all of which have annoyed consumers. Before giving way to that annoyance, it is well to get the faets in each case. • I.Elour and bread, to take the 'latest example, have been kept clown,in price by two devices which were Useful under war conditions, but .could scarcely be employed in normal circumstances. There has been price control, under which bakers were_.not 'allowed to increase prices as costs rose. That plate has been abolished in the case of most other com- modities. It had to be ended in the case of bread, if the bakery business is to continue, The other. scheme was to pay a special subsidy, millions of dollars a year, to keep the price of bread down. That was worked by the government selling wheat to niill- •ers, to make flour for use in Canada, at much below the price paid to wheat growers. It would have been absurd to continue this system in normal times, even if its termination was bound to pro- duce on increase in flour 'and bread prices. Examination of the facts will show that this rise in -princes, however -annoying to consumers, was quite fair and justiifiable. O 0,0 EDITORIAL COMMENT THOUGHT FOR TODAY — In 'a thousand years we shall all forget the things that !trouble us /IOW.© Q 0 • • A real threat to the vegetable and fruit harvests of Ontario exists in the serious shortage of labour to harvest these 'crops. The Ontario Farm Service Force has an im- mediate and pressing need for 150 boys and young men and 200 young women, to fill up the camps which were depleted when the high schools re -opened, © 0 0 "Never was so much owed by so many to so few!" Those were the words of tribute paid by Winston Churchill to the gallant young men of the Royal Air Force who seven years ago won the decisive battle of the war: "The Battle of Britain." Now, in this memorial week, their seridoes to the Commonwealth and humanity are being recalled. The great debt to ,them can never be repaid. 0 0 0 On the eve Of preparations for lidding a centennial celebration there next year, it has been discovered :that the Town of Kincardine possesses no coat -of -arms, amyl a copy of the heraldic emblem of .Kincardine, eootland, , is being sought and �a local contest held. To four knowledge, Clinton is "in the same boat" and perhaps someone might do some- thing about it, as an official all crest is a mighty nice thing to have. O 0 If one of Clinton's leading industries, Clinton Hosiery Milts Limited, is to remain here and expand as it should, then the citizens- and especially the tains--sh'auid co- operate to the fuheslt extent in support of the drive under- taken by the Chamber of Commerce to secure boarding homes for 25 new girc4 employees. The finldihtg of homes for these young ladies is a matter which is most *vital to the ,knfilbting fhnl and the town as a whole. An appeal is pub- lit hed on Page Three a this lame.

R. • BUTLER, Representative, Clinton FLOUR AND BREAD PRICES• BE INCREASED GovernmentWithdraw' s Su idy to Consumer CANADIAN housewives will soon be asked fa pay higher prices for flour. The Milling; Industry of Canada would like to tell why. Nearly six years ago the price of flour was fixed at the low prices then ruling, based, on wheat costing 773/ct per bushed when milled fee use In Canada. Since then, the price of wheal hairs advanced step by step, but the Govern- ment has paid the difference in the form of a consumer subsidy in order that you might buy flour and bread of no increase. Wheat has actually risen to, $I 58% a bushel so that for some time past the ,Government has been pa tng. more than half the full cost. Now the Government has dropped the subsidy and the price Millers will pay for wheat through the Government Wheat Board'will be 'more than double what it was originally. That is why the costOfflour will be increased. Furthermore, the cost of bags, other supplies, labour and transportation Ms increased substantially during the control period. Canadian Millers, however, knowing the importance of flour in the family diet pledge themselves to keep the price as low as they possibly can. The prices of practically all ingredients in bread • have also risen sharply and your Baker must take this into consideration when calculating his now prices.
