MO. 2866 Residence 148 Phone 242 1941 The loyal way it: which retailers are complying with the law proves they are just as amxious as anyone else to make any necessary sacri- fice; they realize as fully as anyone else that inflation would’ harm the war effort. That is the mainspring of their coâ€"operation. They realize too that inrflation would‘ bring dis- aster to many of them. They re- member that after the inflation of the last world war small businesses failed by the thousands. In one year there were four times 'as many bank- ruptcies as in a normal year. Losses » Must Be Shared The mechanism of the Price Ceil- inxg [Policy provides the retailer with protection from undue hardship. He must of course bear some of the “squeeze” ‘between his ceilimg prices- an-cl higher replacement costs for some of the goods he sells; but he is not expected to carry more than his fair Share of the burden. That is a fundamental policy of the Price Ceiling and to saifeguard‘ him in this respect, Retail Trade and Whole- sale Trad-e Administrators have been appointed. So the brakes were appliedâ€"hard! The highest prices charged* in the basic period‘, September 15th to Ocv tolber 11th, were set as the ceiling. Retailers Are Co-Operating The Price Ceiling Policy meant ’in- convenience to practically all busi- ness and' industry amdi losses for many trades and ifi'dustries. The re- tailer was in the front line and so was among the firs-t to feel the im- pact of fixed price; Whenever possible, the retailer is expected to work out his own ar- rangements with his suppliers: to share or “roll 'back” the “squeeze”. When he cannof arrange this he is expected to deveTOp matters through the nearest Prices and Supply Re- If you were driving am automobile at 60 miles an hour you would not by choice jam the braikeS' on sud- denly. However if you foumd' your- self headed for the brink of a preci- pice you would put them on just as hard as you could rather than plunge to disaster. That, roughly, is what the Gov- ernment did when it decided upon the Price Ceiling Policy. It saw rapidly rising prices swinging into the disastrous inflationary spiral. Its economic advisers said: “This up- swing 'of prices must be halted now â€"in its tracks! If you tempurize the battle against inflation will be lost fbefore you can- ever begin to fight it.” From our Issue of Jan. 4th, 1912 James A. Cameron was elected reeve and J. Scott McNair, deputy reeve of Vaughan [by acclamation. John G. Whritmlore, A. J. With-er- spoon- and Alex Cameron were elect- ed councillors. A byâ€"l‘aw to repeal local] option in Richmond Hill was defeated \by a majority of 82 votes. The vote to provide $5000 for installation, of electric lighting was almost unani- mous. PRICE CONTROL AND THE RETAILER P. G. Savage was appointed Post- master for Richmond Hill s'ucceedling the late M. Teefy. A number of boys were brought before J. H. Sanderson, J.P., charg- ed with calling offensive names and throwing stones at Jews pas-sing through the village. W. D.

THE MILL MAPLE THIRTY YEARS AGO WAY BACK IN Phones : LEAF FLOUR which retailers By Bruce M. Pearce RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, JANUARY 8th, 1942 82W E. G. Burton, who krwws the re- tail‘ business from a to z and who is serving the Board; Without remun- eration, is the Retail Trade Admin- istrator. R. F. Chisholm, another youmg executive, who is an author- ity on wholesaling, and who also serves voluntarily, is the Wholesale Trade Administrator. These two executives regard themselves as champions of a square deal for all parties. Their philosophy is rough- 1y this; “You cannot undertake s0 terrific a job as halting inflation in its tracks. without hurting someone. It is our responsibility to see that a normal flow of essential goods is maintained and that no one suffers undue hardship.” “Rolling Back” the “Squeeze” , Suppose a retailer finds himself badly “squeezed” between his retail selling price and the price he has to pay his supplier for goods. His first step should be to take the mat- ter up with his supplier, who may be able to reduce the price to him. Perhaps the supplier will have to go to the manufacturer or importer to get some reduction in his costs. Perhaps the manufacturer or im- porter will have to go to the Gov- ernment for help in the form of a sulbsidy. But in. any event the re- tailer cannot raise his priceâ€"except for a few exemptions such as fresh fruit and vegetables" most kinds of fish, animal pets and furs. So the retailer should- negotiate for a lower price. If he cannot conduct these negotiations by himself the Wartime presentative of t’h-e Wartime Prices and! Trade Board' or directly with the Board’s: Administrator of Retail Trade and‘ its Administrator of Wholesale Trade, who have offices in Toroulto’s Metropolitan Building. 0n the ground that the first place to look for help is to oneself, the Board will expect retailers will take any practical steps to reduce their operating costs. They will be ex- pected to cut out unnecessary frills in. their operations. So, too, will other businesses all along the line. However retailers can be sure that they will not have to bear more than their fair share of reduced income. This, I found! during my visit in Ottawa; is a fundamental policy of the Wartime Prices and‘ Trad-e Board. Pgices and Trade Board"s officials, the Regional Prices and Supply Re- presentative or the Retail and Whole- sale Trade Admvinistra-tors, will co- operate to see that everyone gets :1 square deal. If necessary, they will compel adjustments. From our Issue of Jan. 2nd, 1902 Last year’s Vaughan council were all re-el-ected as follows: Reeve, J. H. Kirby;' Councillors, J. N. Boyl-e, D. M. Malll‘oy, I. Devins and‘ D. Long- house. Jame9 Dimma was elected Reeve of Markham Township. Richmond Hill council was re- elected! as follows: Re-erve, P. G..

LIBERAL FILES FORTY YEARS AGO ~Chri stian Science Monitor Our files of fifty years ago reveal that it is fifty years last fall since Sir William Mulo‘ck, then: William Mulock, M.P., planted‘ 25 barrels of walnuts each containing 3750 nuts at his farm near Newmarket. A suggestion that will be approv- ed! in many towns and villages comes from the Tilsoniburg News. Here it is: “Another excellent way to! save electricity _woul(l be\the establish-7 mend: of a provincial closing time for business places on, Saturday nights. This would effect a considerable salvinig in electricity and would be aplpreciated‘ by the majority of busi- ness people and their employees. In every community too many people leave their shopping until a, late hour on Saturday nights.’,’ The curling season was officially opened in RichmondI Hill with games Saturday afternoon. The first skat- ing was held' im the arena Saturday night. Hawe you some¢hing to sell? Is there some unused’ article around the house you no longer need?

Home, Richmond Hill was a successful aldiermanic candidate in: Toronto’s municiL‘al election. Now is the time to check up on how the New Year Resolutions are standing up. Can this be true? Experts test- ify to its reliability. We are all told various methods to save gasoline. “Save Gas; Keep the Spitfires Fly- ing”, signs afipearing in public places throughout the prevince. Here is the way to save. Don’t drive more than 4’) miles an hour. Driving a? 50 miles 23 per cent of gasoline used is loss; at 60 miles 33‘ per cent: is loss; at '70 miles 43.8 per cent is loss; at 80 miles 57.5 is loss. Care- ful driving saves gasoline, helps win the war, and at the same time en- afblles the driver to have some exjra pennies for the purchase of war saving certificates. Try it. George Agar of Richmond Hill dluring the holiday feasting came aâ€" cross two peanuts grown together in a V shape. George brought the nut to The Liberal Office and] said he wasn’t jus't sure whether it_foretold a Very cold Winter, a Very Dry Summer or whether it was another of those popular V for Victory svigns. The only interesting feature of‘ Toronto municipal elections on» New Year’s Day was the fact that Con- troller Lewis Duncan rompedl home at the head of the poll some 12,000 ahead of the next nearest contender. This was a nice slap on the wrist for the Toronto Daily press who ganged up on the Controller and even resurrected Ex-Mayor Day in their efforts to beat him. Controller Duncan looks like the next Mayor of Toronto. Hon. R. J.
