WOMEN’S PAGE FAMILY CAN’T LIVE ON LESS THAN $49.15 Why mothers have headaches over household spending is summed up in the last issue of “Labor Research”, published by the Research Department, CCL. A survey by the Toronto Welfare Council is analyzed in a way that will shock those who believe that these are days of prosperity. A $49.15 WEEKLY MINIMUM is required to keep a family of five and barely maintain health and self-respect. This is a rock- bottom figure, and is in fact a “minimum within a minimum”. » WORKERS AVERAGE $41.45 in weekly earnings in manufac- turing, or just $7.70 short of the minimum. In the lumber indus- try, workers are $9.83 on the minus side. SEVENTY - NINE PERCENT of the workers in Canada get less than the minimum for decent liv- ing. Only 5 percent get the bare minimum and only 16 percent get slightly more. GROCERIES COST $84.76, monthly in this budget, and no luxuries. Portions at 19 cents per meal per person, are none too ample. If the father, a “manual” worker carries his lunch to work this costs $2.64 extra a month; if he buys a cup of coffee $4.84 a month extra, or if he buys his lunch $7.70 extra. CLOTHING BUDGET OF $39.00 for the family allows the mother to buy for herself a: $35 winter coat once every five years, one dress at $16 that must last four years, one skirt at $5.50 to last two years, two hats each to last two years at from $3.95 to $4.45.
