Canada lakes steps
To Curb Inflation
And Create Bonuses
People Must Face Problem of
Sharing What Is
Scarce
?
Ottawa, Canada ?'All goods and
services sold in Canada are to be
placed under a general price ceiling
beginning November 17th, Prime
Minister Mackenzie King announced
recently. Wages are also to be sta
bilized. "Henceforward no employer
in Canadian industry or commerce
may, without permission, increase his
present basic wage rates," the Prime
Minister said. And after November
15 a cost-of-living bonus must be
paid by all employers. This bonus is
to be in accordance with terms speci
fied by Government order and ad
justed to the prevailing cost-of-liv
ing index.
The price control plan will be ad
ministered by the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board. The wage control
plan will be administered by the Na
tional War Labor Board. The plan
was described by the Prime Minis
ter as "an experiment hitherto un
tried on this continent and perhaps,
having regard to its breadth and va
riety, hitherto untried by the will
and consent of any free people any
where."
"In the present struggle," the
Prime Minister said, "we expect this
year to be devoting some 40 per cent
of the national income to the prose
cution of the war It stands to rea
son that all the goods and services
we are accustomed to enjoy in peace
time cannot be provided when only
a little more than half our energies
can be spared to provide them. Most
goods and services are becoming in
creasingly scarce and will become
scarcer still. We must face the prob
lem of sharing what is scarce. If we
let prices rise unduly, we know what
will happen.
The Prime Minister pointed out
that rising prices unless controlled
impose an unfair hardship on those
with small incomes and endanger
the economic war effort by creat
ing confusion and uncertainty in in
dustry and trade. They also, he said,
tend to produce inflation with all
its disastrous wartime and post-war
consequences. For all these reasons,
he said, "the Government has decid
ed that hereafter prices must be con
trolled more vigorously than they
have been during the first two years
of the war." The policy of controlling
the prices of individual commodities
when and where necessary which
was followed during the first two
years of the war, is no longer con
sidered adequate to meet "the needs
of today."
"The upward trend of prices," the
Prime Minister said, "has become too
widespread and powerful to be
checked adequately by controlling
the prices of a few commodities. To
continue to attempt to control the
rise in prices piecemeal, might only
serve to augment the very evil It is
desired to avoid, by occasioning
through fear of the future, a preci
pitate rise in the prices of those com
modities which are not already con
trolled. The problem is a general

The War Department announced
the present 54-group combat plane
program is being expanded to pro
vide organization of 84 combat
groups?a virtual doubling of Army
air strength. The new program calls
for an increase in Air Force enlisted
personnel to 400,000 by next July.

The Navy launched the submarine
Haddock and commissioned for ac

Director LaGuadia made available

The Army awarded contracts for

problem and it calls for general
treatment. It has spread just as the
war has spread."
Full details of the policy are to be
made public later, the Prime Minis
ter said. He concluded, "The policy
of control as it affects industry,
commerce, agriculture and labor, de
mands a degree of restriction to
which Canadians, hitherto, have
been quite unaccustomed. It will de
mand qualities of self-discipline and
self-control. It will need, as it de
serves, the whole-hearted support of
everyone who has the well-being of
his fellow-citizens at heart . . . "By
its policy the government hopes to
avoid the fears, the sense of insecur
ity, the suffering and the profiteer
ing which the inflation of prices in
evitably brings in its train. The
measures now being announced
should help in the winning of the
war, and, after the war, facilitate re
covery and reconstruction."
Ask Elimination Of
Price Differential
Congressman Herbert C Bonner
today hold a conference at the De
partment of Agriculture, bringing
to their attention the differential in
prices of soy beans as beween-east
ern North Carolina and the Illinois
area. Mr! Bonner urged the Depart
ment, through the Surplus Commod
ities Corporation, to make a study
for the purpose of setting up a pro
gram by which they could store soy
beans and make loans similar to the
diversion plan now in effect with
respect to peanuts.
Mr. Bonner pointed out the state
ment made by the Secretary of Agri
culture in his radio broadcast on
Wednesday night, October 15th, en
titled "Food for Freedom in 1942,"
in which the Secretary stated, "It
seems certain that we won't be able
to import as much of the oils and
fats as we are used to bringing in
from other countries, so we will
need to make up the deficit our
selves. We can take care of our own
oil needs by raising a million and
a half additional acres of soy beans,
and about the same acreage of pea
nuts."
in the light 01 this statement the
Department stated that they felt sure
a program could be shortly initiated
which would give a loan of approxi
mately $1.00 per bushel, uniformly
throughout the country, and that an
announcement would shortly be
made regarding the program.

Parents Are Urged
To Care for Health
Of Their Children
Hundreds of Children Found
To Have Defect# That
Can Be Remedied
By JOHN W. WILLIAMS
County Health Officer
In the examinations of pre-school
and school children made by mem
bers of the Martin County Health
Department hundreds of children
have been found with remedial de
fects every one of which, in our opin
ion, is or will affect the well being
of the child so afflicted in his school
work or general health.
A written notice has been sent the
parents of these children calling
their attention to these defects. In
the majority of the cases nurses have
called at the homes to explain the
case in detail.
Up to this fall a great many of the
parents have given lack of finances
as the excuse for not remedying the
condition and promised that when
able they would act.
This fall we have been lucky to
have tobacco sell for forty cents; cot
ton for sixteen; peanuts for four, and
cotton seed fifty dollars a ton.
Most every farmer interviewed
states that he has paid debts and has
some over. Why not give the chil
dren crippled with defects that can
be corrected a chance? Why tolerate
eye strain when glasses will save
eve sight, school days and even
health'* Why allow tonsils full of pus
to continue to poison the entire sys
tem? Why not save those teeth that
can be saved? If eye, throat and
teeth conditions are responsible for
more than fifty per cent of the army
rejections, isn't it a pretty good sign
that the condition existed for some
time before he reached the draft
age To prove it all you have to do
is to examine our children in the first
three grades in school.
We believe it is money well in
vested to have the family physician
examine the child to see if he agrees
with our diagnosis. That will cost
about two dollars. If tonsils have to
be removed it will cost from $10 to
$25. In cases of teeth and eyes we do
not believe the cost will run as high.
So you will see we are not talking
in thousands of dollars; we are talk
ing in less than fifties and we be
lieve the children are worth it and
while we are able, now is the time
to act?See your doctor now!
The trend in settling life insurance
policies is away from lump sum pay
ments in favor of payments to the
beneficiary over u period of years.
More than one-third of a billion dol
lars of 1940 insurance death benefits
were settled in this way, four times
the total of only 10 years ago.
