They‘‘ tell:â€" you that, but what do they do about it? That the fault lies with government administraâ€" tion in most cases, goes without saying. Yet knowâ€" ing this, why do the taxpayers put up with these conditions, when at least an effort to a remedy would hbe possible through their own renresentative. Canada does have some good surfaced roads. but there are too many rough, and dangerous thorofares hiding under the guise of highways. Too much atâ€" tention is paid to putting in new roads, many times in sections where they receive little traffic, while not enough care is given the upkeep of necessary highways. m Even at this time of year when winter reduces driving to a minimum, highways and main roads are carrying double the traffic they can handle safely. Government tax on cars, tires, gasoline, oil in fact everything pertaining to a car or truck, is supposed to be used for more and better roads. If this money was not diverted into other channels. then the umounrt would finance top grade roads for the entire country. Inability to save under present conditions is wideâ€" spread and not common to any one wage bracket or type of employment. Insurance has become peace of mind to many men who would otherwise have the fate of their family hanging over them because of their inability to save. WHERE FROM HERE? With thousands of ultraâ€"modern cars crowding nutâ€"numbered and outâ€"dated highways where do we o from here? Result is as we see them in new figures of insurâ€" ance sales. Every man wants to provide for his famâ€" ily when he is no longer able to. There is no hope in these days of high taxes and high cost of living for him to save. He naturally then turns to the only other way of saving he can trust . ... life insurance. Insurance is no longer something that is bougbt when a salesman corners & customer. Insurance is now a very real part of our every day living, and the customer in many cases pursues the salesman. Banks report that savings are high. But who do the savings belong to? The average Joe is still going along trying to put a few dollars away, but how‘ much success is he having. A habit incurred during the post war years. where a family spent their income with one hand while trying to build a bank account with the other, is one may have found impossible to break. Taxes in Canada are fantastic, and keeping a huge government operation in luxury is costing the taxâ€" payers far more than they can afford. _ Actually many Canadians are buying life inâ€" surance because they have failed to find any other sure way of saving. The appeal of new homes, TV sets, new cars and such other material conveniences, has become so universal that every man regardless of salary or position, feels we must string along with his neighbour. In November Canadians bought $271,000,000 worth of life insurance. This was an increase over the same month in 1953 of 4.1% which amounted to 260.3 millions. The constant increase in sale of insurance could be laid to the new awareness by Canadians that they are not going to live forever and that those remain. ing could have a very tough time of it without proper protection. THEY CAN‘T SAVE With General Motors and Chrysler now in full proâ€" duction, Ford will probably be forced into a rather tough position when the strike in their plants finally comes to an end. However, considering progress made over the past few years by this company. it is probable they will be more than able to hold their own once they get back into production again. Will the end of the Ford strike single an all out sale battle between the major car manufacturers. The Financial Post believes it will, provided of course that Ford is back in a position to put up a fight by the time the spring and summer rush for new cars, occurs.

The trouble is that, when these costs increase, they do not do so in simole fashion, but multiply upon each other throughout the whole chain of production. Let us hope that recogniton of what is happening will lead to a clearer underâ€" standing of why. There is no reason to doubt the figures â€" comments the bulletin "Industry" (voice of the Canadian Manufecturers Asâ€" sociation). It is more than probable that a similar widenin~ nf the cost gap would be evident in other fields as well â€" ir the cost between Iumber in the forest and furniture for the home, for example, or between ore from the ground and the metal goods that are produced from it. Such a state of affairs is next door to inevitable.

The Association cites the example of wheat and bread.
