Price Control Suspended dornmepting on the possible effect of the 'recent • announcement that prices on 300 various items, includ- ing. goods and' services, have been. suspended from price ceiling regula- tions, W. Harold McPhillips, prices and 'supply representative for West - ere: Ontario, states that he anticipates :ao._sudden increasein prices. He based his opinion on two fac- tors: First, the announcement.••of the government that •there -would be no hesitation in re -imposing price ceil- 4ngs if any ` unreasonable price ad- vanes occurred and, secondly, on the tact that the great majority of goods and services which area now being suspended from the price ceiling are in reasonable• good supply and in many casee..'their production is at re- cord levels. ; In some,•.eases there may even be a drop in present levels. The suspensions from the price ceiling apply to imported goods as well as 'to domestic goods. Many of them are in the luxury class and prior to the war were imported in consider- able quantities. Suspension of their ceiling prices will probably result in an increase in the volume of these imports. It is anticipated that controls ''on rentals, essential clothing and foods will be maintained until supplies are sufficient to meet demand and the danger of advanced. prices tbrough competition, among consumers ,is past. • Myrfrie�ad3 Mrs• NeFeina,, and I rode ont fTOW: VietO "ia to the Cetuntry, to day in the, bus, brit` elle eonPeesed to merprtvately, 'of course, and not fox' public ,tient -that she didn't Miley the ride any more since the prairie people swarmed Whore., "Listen to ,'pm;' said she, casting an angry i, glare about- the bus.

When gar- den blue tits, marked with colored celluloid leg -rings, Were removed sev- ere!..+parisheS. away, from a garden bird -table ''trail" they were caught re peatediy in the original trap. Shear- waters taken from their nesting,,isles- off South Wales. and 'liberated in the Mersey estuary and in the Ad'riatic returned dome, as did a stormy petrel liberated in the Atlantic severni? hun- dred Miles from its quarters offs the Scottish isles.. Nesting house martins taken from Croydon to Berlin beliav- ed in a similar way. Turtle -doves, as well as swallows "ringed" as adult birds on the nest, have been recovered -'and liberated again at the ..same nesting site ter five and seven year's, despite theirnn- tervening winter journeys to Attica. The most .suitable material for the observation and study of homing is the modern long-distance racing pig- eon, descended from' the wild rock-, dove of the sea cliffs (Columba livid) which, however, is largely static in its habits and shows no great migra- tions. eThe racing pigeon's homing abilities were bred by careful select tion"from latent abilities in this an- cestor. The homing abilities of pigeons are based mainly upo i sight and memory. It is the lack -of visibility whieh "pre - events their' homing • through fog, al- thoiigh pigeons will come in through light fog, ground fog and ground mists, arid over vast stretches of Wa- ter where there are no guide Marks. The faetjthat they use the coasts in their travels, as do the migrant wild bird, is probably explained, not se much by the need of sighting land - Marks las by, their inherent fear,. of 'the sea. . - Birds flying ' to England from France and Spain are always shy of crossing the channel, especially in, foggy weather, -and sometimes hun- dreds of pigeons' which have refused to, • negotiate it may --he seen,in the Cliannel Islands, ' " 'The• homing 'instinct of pigeons seems to originate in the "territory right" of +He-nestingseason, a Sense of home territory shown by ' most birds, Where several pairs of pigeons' are bred in a large loft with abouta score of nesting .compartments, the birds are paired -up by shutting them up awhile in their allotted neat-b'ox compartments. When released,'eacri pair of birds stick To ,their"own orlg- inal compartment and they will .drove out withr-4urious pecking:; cavy pigeon that dares to .intrude •"" ' he birds can be. moved to a new 4o'ft ori the 1oft..moved; to a new poste titin any distance away, and, prbvid :� ... the birdie '1 ttled , is s are . Y'fi rrr es. p p 5" to that, new .loft, they will home, to it from a 'long distance because the "settling.” with the visual experienc- es it involves, has given them a fixed memory of the new site strong en ough to make them forget the old one. •':...The Memory, of pigeons for their original loft=site is considerable. In November. 1943, a pigeon fancier in =Akron. Ohio, gave some pigeons to the U.S. army which sent"';them to C'aiborne. In June, 1944, one of these e cap •& "ffom army lofts arid e;urr..edi ho�'lue, a . distance of 1,125 miles. Another instance:. in 1927 a racing pigeon which had twice flown from Rennes in France to its loft near Manchester failed to home, ,but on Christmas Day, 1932, its owner was surprised to find, it had' entered the loft and was''si'ghting with other inmates to regain its old per•.ch, The' bird had not taken five years to fly the 300 miles from France to Lanca- shire; it must have peen stolen and kept prisoner elsewhere, but proceed- ed horde at its first opportunity. Summarizing, I,,,•am' of .the opinion that sight and memory play the.larg- est part in homing, .then. secondary stimuli `from -such attractions• as feed- ing at the loft, the -eggs or young in a nest, 'or a mate being driven by an amorous cock bird, or by two ,cocks in rivalry. I believe it is 'primarily asspciated with what ornithologists - term "territory r'igl'it," but it has been bred into pigeons to. function .at all seasons, I do • not associate it with, the mi- gration,,habits of birds, for bpmitig....is always an attraction to4.-place, whereas migration is'at one season a movement to and at another a move- ment away from ,something; homing instinct, too, is not stimulated by light to the extent that migration is. But experiment and ,observation have yet to disclose how the homing bird. routes itself along a distance it has not previously seeh and before its sight -memory, of its home loft can funittion. * . * * • I am a retailer and several peopte"•have left their' ration books in my store.
