BIG BOYS DON’T SUFFER OTTAWA (CPA) — Rising grocery and meat prices have meant headaches for Canadian workers and their wives during }the past year. They have also meant a tight squeeze for small retail merchants. Large chain stores and pack- ing companies, however, seem to have weathered the storm quite successfully. Net profit figures for Loblaw Groceterias, went up $410,000 in one year—from $2,- 600,000 in the year ending June 2, 1951, to $2,185,000 in the year ending June 3, 1950. Canada Packers’ latest finan- cial statement tells a similar story, but the figures are bigger. They made $4,100,000 in the year ended March 28, 1951, compared with $3,500,000 the year before. That's an increase of 17%. Total sales during the same period went up by only 9%—half as much as the profits. ANY OLD IRON? The American Red Cross blam- ed the high cost of meat for a shortage of blood for the wound- ed in Korea. The proportion of rejects due to a lack of iron in their blood has gone up sharply at Westfield, Mass. Red Cross officials said that the iron was lacking because the people willing to give their blood couldn’t afford to eat enough meat.
