One month ago, when July figures were first released, a finance department spokes- man said “Government calc- ulations show the latest re- ported average weekly in- dustrial wage of $161.36 is about seven cents above a year earlier in terms of pur- chasing power". Now with the revised figure it appears the government will have to admit the average worker was actually $1.47 behind in July compared with one year earlier. Poor August figures and downward revisions to earl- ier month figures were scheduled to be released by Statistics Canada on October 26 but after review, their re- lease was delayed for fur- ther tabulation. The tabulation was com- pleted today, but now offic- ials state, the figures will not be made public until November 20 or later. Novâ€" ember 23 is the date sched- uled for release of Septem- ber figures. July figures were published on October 2. It is believed that the publication of August fig- ures is being delayed in the hope that September figures will look better or at least the current five month ad- verse trend in wage in- creases can be explained. Statistics Canada figures for the summer months were overstated. One person at Statistics Canada said we were 4% to 6% high each month and we could not be- lieve the August figure it was so low. The July figure originally shown at $161.36 per week will be substant- ially reduced â€" likely to about $159.80 the official said. Canadian workers are los- ing month by month their battle with inflation. Average real weekly earn- ings for August may be down $3.00 per week compared to a year earlier. In August it is anticipated the average wage was $160.80 per week, but that month the worker should have earned $163.78 per week to hold his own with inflation compared to August 1972. He has had a $2.98 short fall in buying power within the year.

Routine Check Brings On Attack With Screw Driver 0n Detective York Regional Policemen and pohce cruisers ran into their share of abuse last week. Detective Douglas Strong of :the Richmond Hill Divi- sion was the chief victim when he was attacked by a man. who stabbed *him five times in the arms and back with a screw driver. Police said the attack oc- curred when the detective saw a man leaning over the trunk of a car in the Rich- mond Inn Parking Lot Sa- turday night. Charged with wounding, assaulting a policean and being in possession of :1 dan- gerous weapon. was Spiros Peter Kapsalis, 46, of Don Mills. Dectective Strong was \treated at York Central Hos- pital and then released. That same evening, a po- lice car at the rear of Rich- mond Hill headquarters had its roof light kicked out and its roof kicked in. Police later arrested David Batten, 22, of John Street in Thornhi'll, and charged him with public mischief, as well as being drunk in a public place. Earlier in “the week, a police car was struck by an- ther vehicle during a chase on 'Newkirk Road. After the accident, the driver abandoned his car and later stole another one. po- lice said. Charged with criminal negligence, theft over $200 and theft under $200; pos- session 'over $200 and pos‘ session under $200, and fail- ing (to remain at the scene of an accident, was Finn Mad'sen, 18, of Bloomington Road. Aurora. A Richmond Hill man faces charges of fraud, theft and forgery, folloving an in- vestigation at Simplex Ma- nufacturing Company, 385 Ohio Road. Police said the company had been defrauded out of $9,985 during the past 18 months by someone altering company cheques. so that they became payable to 'him- self.

The Bulletin reviews inflationary trends and then states at Page 4 “it can be said that the average base rate did not increase in real terms during the 12 month period ending September 30, 1973 while it did increase by 1.6% during the 12 month period ending a year earl- ier". have been devastating for the worker since March this year. In April this year the average wage increase in re- lation to the year before was .6% (about 90¢ a week) LESS than the cost of living in- crease. In April 1972 the same worker GAINED 4.7% (about $6.00 per week) in buying power compared to the previous year. That is a turn around in buying power increase of $350 a year for the average worker. May and June this year were little better, while July and August were a disaster com- pared with last year. In August an average wage earner needed $163.78 per week if he wanted the same buying power as in August 1972 when he earned $150.90. He needed an av- erage increase of $12.88 a week. He actually received about $9.90 It is a nasty trgnd when a worker needs more than a dollar week in extra earn- ings every month just to keep level with inflation, yet that is what is currently hap- pening. “Most disturbing of all, the Trudeau Government keeps referring more and more to real after tax in- come being up without mak- ing it clear that such income rose in the first six months of the year, mainly because of huge income tax RE- FUNDS, unemployment in- surance payment INCREAS- ES, other large government payment INCREASES, and HIGHER investment income. It was not due to real wage increases among the relaâ€" tively more productive seg- ment' of the population.

Heinz Kraehling, Cachet Country Club, RR 2, Gox‘m- ley, was robbed of a color TV, mini-bike and jewelry at a total value of $1,400. Mr. Positano was out at the time, but was informed later. as were police. Value of the produce was estimated at being between $150 and $250. In a break-in at 'his home, David Swan, of 233 Centre Street, Thornhill, lost a ste- reo set, four speakers and a color TV set to thieves. Total value was $4,000.

Police Still In Dark About Hurt Railman Since that time, police have been unable to talk to Mr. White to determine how he fell off a train Thursday evening.

AUCTION SALE TV Cameras To Probe Prisoners' Cells Except In Female Block York Regional Police M: will be TV time soon for prisoners in the cell block at York Regional Po- lice lheadquarters, in New- market, but only the men will get a chance to appear before uhe cameras. Tuesday night (November 6) York Regional Police Commission agreed to a re- quest from Chief Bnuce Crawford to puncha§e closed circuit ‘television equipment for the cell block area. In making his rrequest, Clhief Crawford said the equipment would allow «Jhe d'uty sergeant to keep a check on the prisoners and “prevent a possible tragedy." The chief didn't elaborate on this latter a-spect. He said there were many occasions- when the man on duty was unable .to fish the prisoners because of other duties and the equipment would enable him to keep a continuous surveillance of those in the cells. There would be no such set-up for the women’s section, 'how- ever. He also wondered rif a woman could be on the desk. The latter was possible, but expensive, the chief said. He said lth-e idea of not having a camera in the women's block was to avoid any emblarraszsmemt wihere they were concerned. "How often do you Ihave women there?“ asked the chairman, Judge William Lyon. Commissioner S t e w a rat Rumble said he failed to see “what the hangup is” where the women prisoners were concerned. Wasn't the whole idea for the protection net the prisoners? Chief Crawford said it was very seldom, and that women prisoners were us’ual- ly released within half an hour to responsible parties. Equipment involved would include four surveillance ca- meras, one llainch TV mo- niitor and one switcher.
