‘Predicts Enemy Raids 0n Cities In Dominion

OTTAWA. Oct. 5—-(CP\- H011. R.J. Manlon. Director of Civil Air Raid Precautions, said tonight he will be very much surpri-ied if some Canadian cities — inland as well as on the coast -- are not at- tacked from the alr before the war ends and that less than half the cities of Canada have prover flrcl- fighting equipment to meet even normal peacetime needs,

This lack of fire-fiilhtinir earrin- ment is "almost a crime against our national life." he Mild 111 M! address prepared for delivery over a Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- ton Network in connection with ob- servance of Fire Prevention Week.

The peacetime "duty" of brlriszinr: fire-fightin apparatus up to nor- mal needs ad been too much neg- lected by municipal authorities from coast to coast.

"I am informed b.v the authori- ties that in the great and prosper- ous province of Ontario less than half our cities have the aronci- fire-fighting equipment for normal peacetvne requirements. and f iim advised that the same is true of Canada as a whole," said Mr. Man-

"In times such as the present that is almost a crime against our national life."

During wartime. all (men and women — who were not physically fit to loin the fighting forces should realize it was their duty to offer their services as aux- iliary firemen, fire watchers. air raid wardens, or first aid helpers.

Drop of three-tenths of a point is reported by

Dominion Bureau of Sfat_is_tics_.__,_/______>

OTTAWA, Oct. 5-—(CP)-—A drop oi 3-l0ths of a point in the official oost-of-liviiig index between Aug. l 4nd Sept. 1 was reported today by the Dominion_.Bureau of statis- ics.

The figure at the start of inst nioiitii Mus 117.4 or 16.5 per cent above We lndex of 100.8 at the be- ginning of the war. Since the July 1 index was issued, the decline has amounted to one-half of one per cent.

No change will be made in com- puisory‘ cost-Qi-liviiig bonuses to Canadian workers as a result oi‘ the Sept. 1 index drop. Bonuses are adjusted each quarter, with the next change due Nov. l5.

"The decline in September (in the index at Sept. l) was diie main- ly to lower prices for potatoes, beef, lamb and onions." the bureau said. "These decreases were sufficiently great. to ovcrbalaiice increases for

' eggs butter and oranges, with the

result that the food index dropped from 129.6 for Aug. i to 128.5 for Sept. l."

The bureau said other group in- dexes were unchanged at Sept. i, with rentals at 111.3, fuel and light at 112.5, clothing at 120.1, home furnishings and services at 117.8 and miscellaneous items at 107.1.

The index does not take account

of increases in the price of cig- ai-ets and tobacco because of new taiies imposed iii the 1942-43 bud- ge . Cost of living bonuses are cal- culated on changes in the index after it has been adjusted to a percentage basis which makes Aug- ust, 1939 equal 100, Instead of fig- uring from thc unadjusted figure of 117.4 for September, if n bonus change were to be made it. would be figured from the 16.5 per cent increase since the start of the war.
