CHARDOTTETOWN, CANADA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, Government Seeks To Stem Price Rise The Prices Board, acting to stem increases in bread and flour prices, today slapped price ceilings on the products and cancelled any increases which have taken place since July a1 when the domestic price of wheat was boosted. A Board spokesman said the Board had evidence that a general increase throughout the country was contemplated, and that it acted on government instructions and reimposed the price ceilings. Board offices across the coun- try have been watching the price trend since July 31 when it was announced that the domestic price of wheat would be increased from $1.55 to $2 a bushel. In making that announcement, Trade Minister Howe said that a 45-cent-a-bushel subsidy would be paid to miliers and processors o! wheat_ to eliminate the need for any increase in the prices of flour and bread. However, explained a Board of- ficial, the payment of the subsidy did not make it lliegil for millers or bakers to increase their prices because ceilings had been remov. ed Scpt. 14, 1947. The ceilings apply to all flour and bread made wholly or partly from Western Canada wheat. The Board spokesman said the price increases were not confined to any one area, nor were the increases traceable to any particular sec. tion of the industry -— bakers. millcrs or processors. c Tile Militias will apply to flour and bread of all trade levels. With possibly a few exceptions these likely will b0 H19 new pg. tail prices across the country: Nova Scotla, 12-13 cents; New Brunswick, 12-15; Prince Edward Island 14; Quebee,10-13; Ontario, i0-15; Manitoba, 3-1.1; Saskat- chewan and Alberta, 12, and 3m. ish Columbia, 11-12.

The Marquess oi’ Blandford, 22- year-old heir of the Duke of Marl- borough, is a relative of Winston Churchill.

The dispatch says that if the marriage w e r e arranged, i t seemed hardly likely that an official announcement would be made immediately because “the King and Queen would prefer to await their return from the visit they will makefio New Zealand and Australia with the Princess" early next year.
