Little Affected By Yesterdayisl Mild Storm The first really threatening snowstorm of the winter caused little hardship to anyone, parti- cularly motorists as a mild wind ranging from north east to north west kept the snow scattered. None of the main highways of the Province was blocked and traffic was not in-terrupted in any way. Provincial Government snow plows were ready to move at the first sign of trouble, but Mr. Wil- fred Duffy, Plow Despatcher at the Government Garage here, said that the best information they had late last night was that the roads had all been blown clear of snow. However, it was thought that some of the secondary roads :, might possibly have filled in to a slight extent. The Maritime Electric Company had little difficulty, with the only trouble coming in Lot 65 where me snow caused slight interrup- tion in the service before the re- pairmen got on the job.1n the city here the plant officials reported that the snow had no effect on the service. City streets, with some ice on the bare surface prior to the snow, became slippery as motorists had difficulty making turns at corn- ers. However, there were no ac- cidents reported and City Police said everything was satisfactory up to a late hour last night.

Expect Another Slight Decline In Cost-Of-L iving many consumer prices have eased from their peaks a year ago. In November. the new consumer price index, based on 1949 prices equal- ling 100, dropped three-tenths of a point to 115.8 from 116.1. This was the biggest d.rop in seven months as lovicr food prices eased the lmiprict of higher rents. The November decline followed a half-year of small ups and downs in the index. But the November prices level was nnly 2.4 points below the peak of 118.2 in Decem- ber. 1951. The old cost-of-living index also showed a drop during November. slipping three-fifths of a point to 184.2 from 184.8. It was down 7.3 points from the December, 1951, peak of 101.5.

LONDON, tiuuteirsl -- A hesi- tunt Food Ministry has endeared itself to the sticky-listed genera- tion by taking candy off the ra- tion. The kids are drooling. It's the first time in 11 years that oendy has been decontrolled except for a brief period in 1040. The Labor government tried it tnen. but hastily clamped ration- ing back on four months later when it was found that nobody but the early birds got any. The move falls in with Prime Minister 0hurchill's aim of free- ing Britons from the shackles of the ration book. Eggs are expect- ed to be freed about April 1, and them have been rumors that meal will follow early next year. It has been known for weeks that candy would be deoontrolled in time for the Goronstlln June 2, but no one expected it before April or May.

They have never known the carefree hlppity-hop to the candy shop. Candy came under rationing in 1042 when the war curtailed food supplies generally, The ration was two ounces in person I week then, but the allotment rose fitfully to six ounces. .
