Index Jumps

_i-

OTTAWA. Aug. 6—(CP)— The Dominion Bureau of Statistics re-

rted tods a Lil-point jump in ts cost-pf-ivlnx index during June-making a total advance of five lnts over the last four mont s-und chairman Donald Cordon of the Prices Board wsrn~ ed at the same ti-me that further increases could be expected.

In its regular monthly report. the Bureau said the index. culated on the basis that 1085-39 equals l00. climbed from 128.0 at June 1 to 125.1 at July 2 for s total increase of 24.1 per cent since August, 1939. It attributed the lat- est advance to "widely-distributed:

rice increases" which affected our of the six index budget groups, .

Included were increases in foods. clothing, home furnishings and services and health mal'nten- ance and recreation.

In a statement issued slmulta eot-Jly viblh the Bureau report,_ Mr. Gordon termed the lnrrease "in a large part ex cted and, un- avoidable" but ‘nevertheless a matter of the most serious con- cern" which is the "clearest sort! of evidence that the job of keep- ing prices in hand during the, aftermath of the war ls becomrng ‘extremely difficult." ‘

The increase. he said. "shows us that our choice lies between a moderate and carefully controlled readjustment on the one band‘ and a shat-p and cumulating .11- flatlcct on the other.”

Reflects Price Adjustments

The bulk of the increase re- flects price adjustments auilnr- lzed earlier this year, he said. adding:-

"It should be pointed out that. the full increases authorized in clothing and furniture prices at certain stages of production have not yet been entirely reflected at the retail rice level." i

Mr. Got‘ en's. statement fbllowa his recent warning to the dom- mons industrial relations commit- tee, grappling for a solution to Canada's steel strike. that general wage increases much in excess cf l0 cents an hour wou d shatter the Dominion’: carefully-nurtured price ceiling.

The Bureau. explaining the cost of living rise, said foods advanced from 142.1 for June to 144.2 for July as rlces moved higher for eggs. bee. lamb, potatoes and car- rots. Clothing moved up from 124.8 to 138.4, due mainly to uti- vances in the man's wear and footwear sections.

Home furnishings and services also rose substantially, climbing from 122.4 to 125.1 on increases in furniture, textile furnishing: and chlnaware. Advances in the health maintenance and recreation sec- tions sent the miscellaneous zruup index up from 112.1 to 113.7.

Fuel and light remained un- chéagged at 107.2 and rentals at

l

i-a n-s

Fluctuations in the index nave not been reflected in wage rates since cost-of-llving bonuses were merged wl-th basic wage rates in 104-3 under the Dominion Govern- ment's wage control order.

At that time, Prime Minister Mackenzie King said the Govern- ment would review the whole pro- gram of price control and wage control if the cost of living m- creased more than three per cont and remained at that level for two consecutive months.

Bonuses Increased

UITAWA, Aug. 0- tCPl-The Treasury Board. taking note of another rise l-tr the cost-of-llvlng index, announced today that cost- of-llving bonuses for member's of

the Canadian p-ubll-c service w‘ll be increased. With effect from Aug. 1. they

will be as follows:-

2. The percentage bonus uayuble to part time employees and to full time employees earning less than $108 oer month who are not heads of household will be 24.! per cent of total compensation in- stead of l7 per cent.

Field Day At Monticello

The first of a series of five Field Days sponsored by the Dominion Department of Agriculture in co- operation with the Provincial De- partment o-f Agriculture was held on the Illustration Station oper- ated by Hugh J. MacDonald, Mon- ticello, on Monday afternoon.

The success of this farmer's’

meeting is attributed in no small measure to the splendid atten- dance of farmers and their wives, and the interest evidenced in pro- jects under study at the MacDon- llifi Station. The Hon. W. F. Alina Stev/art, Minister of Agriculture as gilest speaker. gave praise to those boys who ‘chose farming as their life's vocation. Theirs was a task no less important ‘and significant than those other members in the lam:- Wil0 chose other rkolessnns. The speaker stressed the need of directing more and more 311g“- tron tosmali details in this age of scientific forming in order that success might crown indivtiual efforts. ' ‘l... W. Roper.

Proper feeding and care of the young calves was stressed as an important feature lll proper development.

Other Speakers

Dr. J. A. Clark, Experimental Station. dealt with the topic "The Health of the People on the Farm". The significance of the Blue Cross Organization, and its hospitaliza- tion benefits were stressed. Farm- ers were advised that the health of every member of their family was ‘paramount if success and happiness were to attend ihelr concerted efforts. Membership in the Blue Cross Organization would insure of each member in the family receiving proper and early medical attention.
