Higher food prices lead to soaring wage demands that could set off another round of inflation, Mrs. Plumptre said in an interview. “The government should “ba trying to control inflation, but instead it tinkers here and tinkers there and the result is exactly opposite. “If food prices continue to go up, if the government continues to drive up the price of even staple items, we could still get the wage bubble predicted after the end of wage and price con- trols.” The price of bread is ex- pected to increase in January when the federal government wheat subsidy is lifted, she said. This increase will hit lowincome™ familles hardest because it affects all flour products including bread and pasta. She said Monday the government contributed to higher food prices when it ‘lifted a subsidy of 34 cents a pound on skim milk powder in April and when it refused to relax import restrictions on beef, especially ham- burger. The Canadian government needs policies to restore con- fidence in the economy and give workers assurance that inflation is slowing down, she said. Mrs. Plumptre is reeve of Rockcliffe Park, a com- munity near Ottawa. She is the former chairman of the food pricesreview board. The Herald, Wednesday, December 14, 1978, Page 5 TV violence has an LONDON (Reuter) -- A fouryear study funded by the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) has concluded that violent behavior in teen- age boys is increased by watching viclence on television, a psychologist said today. Dr, William Belson said the U.S. television network, which gave him a grant of about $300 -000 for the research involying 1,565 London boys, received his findings last year. He said it was easy to show statistically that boys ex- posed to a high level of television violence were more violent, but difficult to prove that TV viewing caused the violent acts. “Tt could be that boys who are naturally more violent watch more TV violence,” Belson, an Australian living here, noted. His report said that “high exposure to TV violence increases the degree to which boys ‘engage in violence,” The report said the boys admitted to a total of 9,000 violent acts over a six-month period. These included stabbings, hitting others with bottles and hammers, destroying other's effect belongings and throwing a cal into a fire. Belson said he is not in favor of censorship, bul there should be a service independent of government and television authorities which monitors televised violence, and TV producers should be trained in its effect on viewers.
