SAYS CONSUMERS ____‘P_L§Z_QI&LELPBIA¢ v family of four this meant about $3 a month. $36 a year towards the food budget. Without the subsidy all housewives would have had to pay considerably more for all dairy products, between three and four cents more a quart for milk. and between eight and nine wit! more per pound for butter during 1944 1B Consumers Unaware It was his opinion that con- sumers were totally unprepared for any change in prices should subsidies be dropped, as the ma. jority were unaware of their ex- istence. He said that almost nothing had been clone to ac- quaint consumers wlth the fee and that the adjustment. when it comes, would be most painful — and the wrath of hundreds or thousands of irate customers will descend on datrymen. He thought somebody should soon start tell- ing consumers the facts. Neither farmers nor dairymen were to blame. it was simply a wartime condition - subsidies having been chosen as the best means of keep- ing down the cost of living. Aside from the necessity of hav- ing export murkets for n possible large surplus of milk which Can- adian farmers would produce after the war Mr. Jones also suggested the surplus milk problem might be approached by producing pro- ducts at a nrice and quality which will compete with products of other countries. and by promot- B an increase in domestic con- siumgtlon of milk and milk pro- uc .

Mr. Yorston saw the horse. wit some harness on him. running along Brighton Road near the P. E. I. Hospital. Mr. Yorston got into the middle of the road and brought the animal to a. stop. The horse. red in colour. and weighing about 1000 pounds has been in his possession since that time. Last night ll/Iir. Yorston was endeavoring to locate the owner of the animal.
