Council 1 To Study Bread Why do Vancouver's con. sumers pay Canada's highest prices for bread and flour? City council, answering de-mands of Aid. Anna Sprott, decided Wednesday to find out. Mrs. Sprott first asked council to go on record as "deploring any increases In the price of essential foods at the present time." But she called for an over all study into the entire question of bread and flour prices when other aldermen said her original motion meant nothing.

"It's like saying we deplore crime or sin," said Aid. Frank Baker. "The bakeries won't take any notice of our deploring. But if we are sincere, we intend to take action, and should investigate the possl bility of some controls." "We pay more for flour and bread than anywhere else in Canada, although the distance we have to ship flour is less than to eastern Canada," Aid. Sprott said.

"What I'd like to see Is a royal commission, but a committee to study the situation might be enough to start off with," she added. Acting Mayor George Miller will name the committee.

The First Civil Chamber of the Seine is expected to announce its judgment in two weeks. In a small, fourth-floor walk-up apartment in Brooklyn, New York, young Bobby Fischer put aside his comic books and rock 'n' roll records and sprawled on the floor over an open chess book.

Hailed by the experts as the greatest chess mind the world has produced in many years, the gangling, crew-cut 15-year-old will defend America's honor in a big chess contest with Russia later this year.

If most of the people of B.C. can't come to their capital, it's a good idea to have the government occasionally go to them. The government's Centennial Year bill wilLrun close to $3,500,000.

Now, please, don't faint, or fly into a rage, though that's a lot of money, and no doubt there has been a fair amount of waste and gravy-train stuff. There always is on a big, fat government expense account. But much good has come out of the millions thus spent There are many new museums and art galleries, public swimming pools and public parks and such like, for the benefit of all the people. A new interest has been created in our history, an appreciation of the past, without which no people can march confidently and unafraid into the future. Thousands of outsiders, for the first time, have become conscious of B.C.

Most of our citizens have had themselves a ball, and you can't go to a ball for free. Included in the $3,500,000 is likely about $75,000 for Princess Margaret's two-week visit.

"Why don't they stay in their offices?" But it's not as simple as that.

A government should keep in close with the people, and how better, in so vast a province as B.C. than to' travel to places distant from the capital. Sure, politics enters into it. The premier likes courting the people, he likes to hear his good works praised. He likes the fanfare when the cabinet arrives in an interior town or city, he likes a formal welcome from the mayor, with the cameras popping so that his picture will be in the local papers.

Why shouldn't he like it? He figures it'll all help him next election. But that's not his entire reason. He genuinely wants to know this province and its people. A lot of those Who don't like the cabinet traveling around are the free-loaders, who like expense-account trips to the capital. As far as money's concerned', it's probably cheaper for the government to go to Vernon, say and receive nine delegations, than to have the nine delegations come from Vernon to see the government here.

There's an awful lot of time wasted when the public comes calling on cabinet ministers. Some people, in a cabinet minister's office can be as yackety-yack as a cabinet minister on the hustings, or an MLA in the legislature. Many of the public like to sit back in a cabinet minister's office and tell him how he should run his department. Anyway, the entire province isn't Victoria.
