Prices Board On Way 011i

(YPTAWA, Feb. 15—(CP) —The Prices Board. established by the Government during the war to hnntllo the complex price, rent and other controls, is gradually pass- ing out of existence.

The Board's peak wartime staff of 6.000 now has dropped to about 750. Another drop may result from the removal yesterday of price controls on steel scrap,

Main function of the Board now is administration of domestic rent controls. The Government re- cently asked the Supreme Court, of Canada to rule on the validity of tho controls and decision is ex- poi-ted before the end of this month.

Should the court rule that the controls are not within the jur- isdiction of Parliament. about 500 i-mployocs of tho Board will have to lie transferred to other Govern- mont departments or released.

if the court rules that the coit- lrols are within the competence of Parliament, then they will be ex- tended to March 31, 1951.

Last yest- Naaicy was thrown in- to jn-il after delivering a petition to Canadian authorities signed by hundreds who want to return to

Canada for Yugoslavia we could

return if we were not satisfied." Nancy's motihcr wrote. "Many o! us have asked that our Canadian

passports be returned. but so far we have not got them."

Nancy's father has found things fer from pleasant in his native land. Ho has been unemployed more than 10 months. A 15-year- old sister escaped sn illness that struck the family.
