It s insidious and that s a Good word for sure prices have gone up you want to have a look in the Freezer compartment of my refrigerator it s got cobwebs it has t been used for so says a Windsor ont., housewife who is supporting four children on welfare. A Canadian press Cross Xanadu Survey shows comments like this Are typical from canadians across the country struggling with the country s no. 1 malady inflation. Figures on inflation Are Well documented by the Dominion Bureau of statistics Cost of living up five per cent in the last year Bank interest rates Many of those questioned find although their wages May have risen 10 per cent in the last year Price tags particularly on food and clothing have risen to the Point that even the raises leave them worse off than before. Many Ontario residents com Plain that they eat less Steak than they used to. I Don t bother to buy beef any says Mary Taylor a 40-year-old Ottawa widow with five children.

Her experience is shared by mrs. R. W. Gibson of Edmon ton whose husband is an insurance adjuster. My husband has a Good Job end he has been getting raises right she says. But we just Don t have any margin anything to fall Back on if my husband should lose his in Saint John n.b., a 62-year old University professor says his salary has increased just enough to match rising living costs but the steady Rise in the Cost of food has reduced the discretionary portion of his pay. As expected pensioners and others living on fixed incomes feel inflation acutely. They have no leverage in their income to Burns a 21-year-old Montreal. In Ottawa., mrs. Stella Hanna student and Salesman. I Ford finds that a potato Bug mrs. Dennis Robertson. 25, which Cost 45 cents two says she and her were forced to move Toronto husband from their one bedroom apart ment when the rent increased to a month from recently.

And in Kitchener ont., Edward Rektor says what bothers him most of All about inflation is the sneaky Way the Price of potato chips has been increasing.

But inflation s real meaning is in the lives of individual Citi Zens. From coast to coast the Survey shows canadians being pinched by the squeeze of rising prices against slower climbing incomes. Average wages in Canada have risen by More than seven per cent in the last year. But about 80 per cent of those surveyed find the increase is not enough to keep them abreast of the increased Cost of daily living.

But even in People say saving Money is next to impossible. I m not extravagant but saving is out unless you have another source of income out Side of your says in a Vise. If i spend my Money the retailers Rob me. If i save it the government robs me. It s All rather basically the Cost Price spiral seems to be Felt most sharply in Central Canada. Mints from by Heloise Cruse dear Heloise i was really in the dog House with my husband when i told him that i had purchased one of those old fashioned porch swings at an auction. I really had to do some Quick thinking because we Don t have a porch and would you believe not even a tree with a Little of Branch big enough to hold the swing. But i redeemed myself when i suggested using our daughter s o 1 d gym set Frame that she no longer he was flabbergasted but still not entirely convinced that this time i had t really Well when he removed the swings and Seesaw he found that he did t even have to Drill new holes. He Spray painted the Frame and the porch swing a Beautiful Apple Orchard Green and suddenly i became the Apple of his Eye. I have even heard him telling friends what a Clever wife he has.

Valerie Halverson dear Heloise we have the old Type of floor registers in our House and when we had new carpeting installed in the living room we bought new registers.

My husband suggested we take piece of carpeting to the Auto Supply store and get Spray cans of Auto enamel that would match our colors. We needed Turquoise and had no difficulty getting a color to match. Since Auto finishes Are usually a quite hard finish we expect our registers to Wear for a Long time and they Are certainly easy to Spray.
