AMOS. Qum. Feb. 4 -- (OP)- Thrce young children of Armand Fontainc. “were burned to death yelterday when fire destroyed their farm home at St. Marc do Figury, l2 miles from this Chap- leau Couniy town.

Dead were:

TOTAL INCREASE

veloped during January ss a re- sult of upward adjustments in the new British food contracts.

These advances will be shown in the January report, to be re- leased curly in March. and may easily cairry the index over the 150 mark.

Not Ali-Time High

A its new level of 148.8, the ind x still is approximately 2% points below the historic peak reached in July, 1920, in the com- parable period following the First World War.

At that time, the index touched 150.6 after mounting rapidly over a year-long period and then, sig- nificantly. began a steady decline until it settled around the 1194,0- 121 level early in i922. 1t rc- malned in that viclrlltyuntil prices broke again in depression-herald- ing i630.

The current rise in Canada's price structure indicates the index may go even higher than 100.6 before coming w a halt.

But whether it vitiil remain stable at that point or head intcrs. de- fiationary decline as it did in the curly 1920s is something that not even the most skilled economists can predict. The answer lies in the unforeseenble factors of the coming months.

The Jump cf 2.: points during December compared with an in- crease of 2.4 points in November.

Detailing the factors in the rise. the Bureau said the food index duringDecemhe; moved from 178.7 ,to 1892. with prices for butter and vegetables accounting for most of the increase.

Although meats showed scatter- ed increases during that month, prices st the beginning of Jan- uary had shosvn no general rise over Dec. 1 levels. Prices for eggs and citrus fruits, in fact, had de- clined moderately.

Today's index does not re- flect the higher meat prices which came into effect early in January since they were developed too late for record- ing in the ~ current report. They will be shown when the January index is released early next‘ week.

Increases in many lines of homefumlshings advanced t h I December homefurnishings and

services index from 164.0 to 158.4. General increases in the miscel- laneous group produced a. 2.8- point rise in 122.6 for this group. Clo ing mounted from 158.8 to 161.2 and fuel and light went up from 120.3 to 120.4.

Rentals, still under rigid ceil- ings and eviction control; contin- ued ot 119.9.

At the same time, the Bureau reported that the index number of industrial material prices, on the basis that i020 equals 100, rose from 145.0 for the week ended Dec. 26 to 147.6 for the week end- ed Jan. 30. The more important commodities to show increases were wood pulp, oats, livestock and‘ tin ingots.

Canadian fanm products ad- vanced from 130.9 to 133.7 in the some period. Declines, concentrat- ed mainiy in the latter half of January. For hides, eggs and wool, were outweighed by advan- ces in grains, livestock, milk and potatoes. .

The monthly average index for industrial materials ylas 146.8 compared with 148.9 for Decem- ber ond 109.7 for January, i947: while that for Canadian farm pmducts was 133.1, compared with 129.4 for‘ Trembcr and 114.4 for January, 1047.
