This question is being discussed with quite a lot of feeling by house wives because of a recent slight up-turn in the price of some foods, chiefly meats. Before we point an accusing finger at the farmers, it might be fair to consider the latest U.S.D.A. figures which show that in 1947 the average factory em ployee worked 30 minutes for a pound of choice steak. In 1967 the same employee could buy this steak oy working only 18 minutes. In 1947 it required 10 minutes for a quaif of milk against 64 minutes for 1957, | 32 minutes for a dozen eggs in 1947 j compared with 19 minutes in 1957, , and right on down the line practi cally all food "items' have not risen j in price nearly, so much as the average industrial workers wage. Measured in dollars and cents food prices are higher, but they have increased less than other living costs, and food takes a smaller per cent of the wage earners income tjjpn ever before. The average fac tory workr could buy one-third more food in 1957 than in 1947 with wages from one hour of work. ail Patrons Are Urged rove Boxes During Week not for the birds! does not proclaim by the Post Office i r our feathered en a rural route pa Dte onhis mail box ftrrier not to place for fear of disturb wren inside, the nlrable but not like delivery of the May 19 to 24 will rvance of the ■ An Lmprovement Pro vost Office Depart ed wishes to encour rural delivery ser suitable boxes, naintained for easy ^ability, presenting a ce and affording liail. eiiy erected or in Condition retard de and expose it to the I may become bird 11958 .Rural Progress lural Carriers' As ^nge County i3 donat twenty-five dollars nity most outstand improvement.
