not make ends meet. With their
wages, salaries, or other income
remaining stationary and prices
continually rising, the only al-
ternative they have is to make
their families do with less, to
accept poorer hotsing, to pro-
vide less fruit and meat and
milk for their children, to patch
up and wear their old clothing
when it should be discarded, to
cash in on the little bit of sav-
ings they have laid away for
their old age or for a rainy day.”

Control Policy

A firm policy to combat run-
away prices was outlined by the
national leader:

“In the first place, we ask for
the re-imposition at the earliest
possible date, of price controls
on all the basic necessities of
life: food, clothing and fuel.
Secondly, we ask for the re-
|institution of comprehensive fed-
eral rent control. Thirdly, there
must be a renewal of the subsi-
dies on milk, butter, bread, feed
grains, cotton and wool, Fourth-
ly, the Winnipeg Grain Exchange
must be closed and speculation
eliminated in all foodstuffs. The
Prices and Trade Board must be
reconstructed in such a manner
that it can adequately adminis-
ter the necessary controls. If
necessary, there must be ration-
ing of any essential commodity
which is in such short supply
that some Canadians cannot re-

ceive their minimum share.”

- +. the eyes are simply the windows. The actual seeing
process devolves upon the brain which interprets what shows
; through the windows. . . . That is why glasses are not the
answer to all visual problems—and that is why you should
never simply “buy glasses." . . .Instead, seek
the counsel of a professional vision specialist,
whose profession is helping your vision, irre-
