CONSUMERS’ ASSOCIA- TIONS are concerned with the increase in food costs in Can- ada. In 1957, the average ur- ban Canadian family was “spending $22.70 a week for food. As of February, 1966, the

same food cost $26.04. Figures, are based on a survey in seven Canadian cities, with an‘ av- erage of 3.36 persons per fam- fly and income from $3,000 to $7,500 per year.

PEOPLE ALARMED OVER- RISING LIVING COSTS ©

By KEN SMITH “To put it simply, every- thing is up.”

. That's retailer R.-E. Walker of Saskatoon talking about living costs, and his succinct phrase will strike a quick ehord with Canadian consum- ers. Be In the last year or 80 every- one from a housewtfe buying a roast or a pair of baby shoes | to her husband grabbing a fast drink in’ a downtown bar .be- fore. heading home- is paying more for almost everything. In fact, it'll cost: her husband more to get home too, since” transportation costs are higher.

Blind Woman

Is Unusual

Secretary a oe: MONTREAL (CP) — Mabel/ Egerton is a_ secretary who).

takes dictation by shorthand or dictaphone, types quickly and accurately, files, and handles incoming -telephone calls on five lines. She also teaches music. These accomplishments may _ not seem unusual until -you know that Mrs.. Egerton has - been blind since birth. She is * evidence of her conviction that a blind person with proper| training can be as good a sec-. retary as one with normal vi-| sion.

Of course, she doesn’t take dictation with pencil and paper | as secretaries usually do. In-

~~gtead;she-uses: a special braille | shorthand slate.

“I can't afford to make typing mistakes because I can't erase, and I would have to start aver.”

She cannot rely wholly on dic- taphone because she has to use shorthand for telephone mes: |

sages. ~ As for filing, she marks her own braille code concerning |

matter and date in the right-| hand upper corner of each pa- . per to be filed. |

“I've got to be: good at filing, | otherwise I wouldn't deserve my job,’ says the full - time secretary for the Montreal As-| sociation for the Blind. She has been Working with sighted sec- | retaries there for eight years.

HAS PLASTIC NOTES

“Many people wrongly think a sighted. person is a_ better) teacher of music, but we have gimmicks such as plastic notes, which many sighted teachers now are using also.”’

Sheets of classical music and such modern: works as those of | Bartok have been transcribed | into braille. But if Mrs. Egerton |

wants a. work not yet in braille, |

she has someone read it to her | and transcribes it herself.

There .are several blind mu- gic teachers in Montreal ‘but, as” far as she knows, she is the only blind secretary here.

Mrs: Egerton was educated at, the Montreal School for the Blind where she learned to play | the school’s piano and two-key- board organ es

After completing’ elementary school, (which was as far as was then’ taucht) she got a job! assembling boxes in a Montreal _ biscuit factors

“T was the only

blind one, the

onle Protestant. and the gonly English-speaking | person,’ & she recalls with a smile. ‘Three! counts against me, but we got) along well.” i‘ After a second job in another biscuit company thisetime put- ting wax paper in the hoxes— Mrs. Bgerton decided she

wasn't using her skills and en-

tered secretarial school to Jearn , typing

The course ended with her teaching her teachers braille.

;Soon after graduation she mar- and-moved to New Bruns-

wick. She now is a widow, |

There are demands for gov- ernmental investigations, ques- tions in Parliament, group discussions, as well as head- shaking at the meat counter.

Actually, .the 1965 price gains that have sparked the excitement are small com- pared with eome, the Canadian economy- has lived — through

The DBS price index, based on 1949 equalling 100, stood at 140.8 points last December, up four points or 2.9°per cent in a year. But in 1951, for exam- ple, the index jumped 10.8 per cent or a ‘hefty 10%2per cent. Why, then, the present fur- ore? :

For one thing, coming after years of comparative price stability when the index move- ments were held under two per cent a year, the increases probably struck consumers more forcibly.

For another, they hit after the first report of’ the Fco- nomic Council of Canada had said there would be economic dangers if the rate of: increase exceeded previous levels.

Thirdly, and most impor- tantly, they brought fresh fears for the ‘future: Will prices keep going up more rapidly and, if so, how much can the economy take before cracking?

CONSUMERS WORRIED

Many women’s organizations in the province are .participat- ing in the advance sale of Expo passports and this meeting will provide those interested in this exciting project, individuals, fa- milies or passport distributors, a chace to hear something of the Fair’s pavilions, especially the Atlantic pavilion.

Ethel Sutherland described a film on Expo ‘67 that is avail- able from the National Film Board, showing the site and some background information on the Fair. -

Members felt, however, that so much progress*has been made at Expo's location since its film- ing that the reel is already out of date.

Special. mention was made by Mrs. Guy Fichaud of the West German handcraft exhibit cur- rently on display in the art gal- lery of Confederation Centre, collected by curator Moncrieff | Williamson for display at Expo next year. }

Mrs. J. R. Walters of Sas- katoon says shoppers should use lists and look around care- fully.

‘"You probably won't get the best. value for your money by just going into the first store,” she says.

‘“People don't go out with shopping~ lists: any tmore.- They just walk into a store and pick off the shelf anything that appeals to them.”

Otherwise, however, the in- stinct. for self-justification ap- pears strong.

Business blames labor for not restraining wage demands, labor blames’ management. for not sharing profits, retailers and wholesalers blame each other and everyone attacks various governments for not checking the situation.

“It’s certainly not. the re- tailer,”’ says Mr. Walker, who is president of the Saskatoon

| Retail Merchants’ Association.

‘It's the. government that’s responsible. If they’ want to raise taxes and raise taxes, the cost of living will go up.”.
