Prince George — Hundreds of city
hockey fans watched Prince George
Lumbermen win their first and last
game of the 1952-53 Central Interior
Hockey League schedule here Satur-
day night in a tense duel with Wil-
liams Lake Stampeders.

Lumbermen won the week-end
opener 10-7 but dropped the second
game Sunday after a six-forward
finish which saw the cowtown squad
on top 6-4. ~
~The city team went to the front
early on Saturday night with the
first score, by Mike Church, coming
before the game was three minutes
old.

Al Camponi former Lumberman
and now playing coach for the
Stamps, tied the tally and a second
Williams Lake goal after Princq
George's Coach Fred Andrew scored
at 14.02 saw the teams holding 2-2
at the bell.

Blair put the Stampeders on top
for the first time in the game early
in the second period, but Lumber-
men’s McGibbon former ‘lake coach
tied it up again.

Stamps pushed ahead a second
time as Camponi scored a repeat, and

Stamps Split Series To Give
Lumbermen Lone Season Win

this time it was Murray Swanson
who kept the city squad in the run-
ning. Syl Favero gave Lumbermen
the lead again and McGibbon put his
stamp of approval on it at 13:27
making the score 6-4.

Williams Lake scored one more
before the end of the second frame
as Church and Andrews boosted the
locals’ total to elght-points.

Latin and Norberg attempted a
rally at the start of the third frame
but Lumbermen’s “old faithfuls,”
Norm Schnepf and Syl Favero, rode
the cowhands down with a goal each.
Lumbermen took a first period lead
again on Sunday but saw it evapor-
ate before the bell for a 1-1 tie.

In the second frame Williams Lake
gained one point and again Lumber-
men forged ahead with a two-point
rally.

Going into the third frame leading
3-2, Lumbermen’s defense buckled
and with minutes left Stampeders
went ahead 5-4.

Coach Andrew pulled net-mnider
Don Young from between the posts
in the final minute of play in a last
ditch effort to force the game into
overtime, but Camponi broke. into
the clear for Stamps with the bell
only seconds away and slapped a
clincher into the empty Lumberman
goal.

Quesnel Kangaroos and Vander-
hoof Bears split in the western town
at the week-end with Bears captur-
ing the first 5-3 and dropping the

second by a 7-2 count.

was sponsored by the Red Cross

mission for the double ticket includ-
ing supper, was $2.00.

Probably some of the
around remember the dance.

‘COST OF LIVING INDEX REFLECTS

CHANGING HABITS OF CANADIANS

How much Canadians have chang-
ed their ways in the recent past is
revealed in detail by the new con-
sumer price index, subject of the
Bank of Montreal's latest Business
Review. Departing from its usual
analysis of the Canadian economic
scene, the bank report is devoted this
month to an explanation of how the
index was devised and what it does.
It emphasizes the importance of the
index as a “trigger figure’ which
affects incomes and costs all over
Canada, but states reassuringly that

appears to be about the most
painstaking and comprehensive indi-
ator that could be devised.”

The bank comments that the cost
of living index has been among the
most frequent topics of conversation
in recent years. Nor is this interest
casual, since a sample of collective
bargaining agreements signed in the
first eight months of 1951 showed
that something like 40 per cent of
union workers were protected by
“escalator” clauses which made man-
datory a change in wages with each
specified change in the index. More-
over, many employers are greatly in-
fluenced by the movement of the in-
dex in considering general revisions of
pay rates. Despite the familiarity and
importance of the cost of living in-
dex, it was among the “least under-
stood and most misunderstood” of
the figures produced by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics the B of M main-
tains. The appearance in the last four
months of the new consumer price
index has provoked added interest and
the discontinuance of the old index
in the near future is necessitating the
re-negotiation of many labour con-
tracts.

As its new name implies, the index
is intended to reflect ‘only the in-
fluence of price changes upon the cost
of the typical purchases of a repre-
sentative cross-section of Canadian
consumers.” During four years of
preparatory work in the “most thor-
ough-going” revision of an index of
Canadian retail prices ever under-
taken, the bureau consulted business,

union, welfare and consumer groups,

and made a detailed study of the year-
round purchases of 3,600 Canadian
households. Next, a “target group”
of 1,517 families was selected, rang-
ing in size from two adults to two
adults with four children, with an-
nual income ranging from $1,650 to
$4,050 in the year ended August
1948, and living in 27 Canadian cities
of over 30,000 population. The de-
tailed expenditures over a year of
Yills ‘target group’ were then analys-
ed té determine what items should be
included in the new index. While
most of the commodities and services
bought in 1948 were found to be the
same as in 1938, the previous survey
year over 30 items included in the
old cost of living index had receded
to negligible importance and were
dropped, while nearly 100 new items
were added.

MORE PORK, LESS BEEF

“These deletions and additions

provide . . . an interesting commen-
tary on the-changes that have taken
place in the Canadian way of life in
the short space of a decade,” the bank
states. ‘‘The modern family eats pro-
portionately more pork and less beef,
and more fresh fruits, vegetables and
fruit juices than ten years earlier.”
Nylons have replaced rayon or wool-
len stockings and pyjamas have sup-
planted the cotton nightgown. And,
in the home fuel oil has gone a long
way toward replacing coal and coke
for heating. The costs of soft drinks
beer, liquor and of home ownership,
as distinct from renting, have been
included for the first time.

After examining the enormous task
of keeping the new index up to date,
the “weighting” of different purchas-
es, and the reasons for the choice of
1949 as the new base year, the B of
M review concludes by emphasizing
the importance of “bearing in mind
what it is and what it is not.” It is
not intended to apply to tarm house-
holds, for which a separate index is
compiled, nor to single persons or
families larger than six, nor to fam-
ilies in the very low or very high
income brackets. But it does apply,
and apparently with a high degree of
validity, ‘‘to the average sized, city-
