SURVEYED INTO POVERTY © Tue puysiotocists say that if seven people meet a , man walking and each tells him that he is looking poorly and that he ought to be in hospital, it is highly likely that the man will be sick in no time. He may have been feeling rather chipper up to the moment when his friends ex- pressed their commiseration. Something similar may be happening in the recent sur- veys of the problem of poverty in Canada. An official of the Canadian Welfare Council told a group in Edmonton recently that some people who would be called poor on' the .basis of their annual incomes don't consider them- selves badly off. But rather soon they will be told that they are badly off and likely will begin to believe it. Many years ago, there was an old lady, a widow, in a small city. She had a nice house on a nice street; she grew flowers and she sold some of them. Local taxes were low. Her total yearly income was $4oo. "Can you live on that?" asked the incredulous big-city person. "Humph," she said, "T lay money by." Brigadier J.G.Spragge and Mrs. Spragge, accom- panied by Mr. G.H.Sheppard are' registered guests at the Terrace Bay Motor Hotel. Brig .Spragge is the General Manager and Mr .Sheppard is Chief Commis- sioner:of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
