We mean the rising cost of living coupled with rising wages, followed by rising prices, accompanied by the rising cost of living, resulting in rising wages, etc., etc., etc. Not unlike three yeast factories, each is trying to out-rise the others. The solution to this crisis is obvious and simple. First, the government forces all wages to be lowered. Second all prices must be lowered so that the ex-affluent people of the country will be able to buy the goods on sale. Of course, as with any sure solution, there are drawbacks. In the few months between the lowering of wages and the lowering of prices, many Canadians may starve to death. The survivors, however, will cheer the government as heartily as possible. Some may not be able to issue forth any audible sound, but the thought will be there. Others may ide of exhaustion, for cheering requires the consumption of many hard-earned calories of work. In one hearty, Hurrah! many Canadians, in their weakened state, may expend all the energy that they had consumed in the previous two weeks. The people who will survive this fasting will be, of course, the fat, the rich, and the thieving. The Prime Minister cannot be expected to survive, but any new government, I hope, will have the willpower to uphold the austerity policies vitlined by its late predecessor. In case of enemy at’ , the remaining two million Canadians, I am sure, will rally together to defend any part of the nations as long as their skeleton-like bodies stand.

quickly denounce any foreign power that dares to attack. To be sure, these problems will be faced with the fortitude for which all Canadians are noted. After two or three months, the wholesalers and retailers will be forced to yield. Prices will drop drastically and people will swarm into the reopened supermarkets to eat the new-spoiled foods. Animals would have to be imported from other countries and electricity would once again be gerierated. People would be buried, and cities would have to be cleaned up. The five hundred thousand Canadians still alive would, of course, bathe and purchase cheap, new clothing. Wages and prices, albeit low, will be almost compatible. I, myself, risking induction into the U.S. Army, will live in the United States during this time. Brian Yamashita. VORNE Now the city of Vorne was a beautiful city, being constructed entirely of delicate coral from the sea. Its avenues were flanked with graceful trees, and ever led into luxurious and fragrant gardens. These avenues were composed of the purest ivory and borrowed from the setting sun flaming orange. The people of Vorne were fair to look upon, having hair of molten sunigiht and frank blue eyes. They labored but little in the fertile valley of their city; and neither did they build, for Vorne had been erected in remote times before their history. In Vorne there could always be heard the sound or music and singing and laughter, and be seen the exquisite ivory sculptures of the artists of Vorne. But there came one day a stranger into Vorne, a swart man with hair and clothes of desolate black. When the people of Vorne gathered about him, he gazed up with eyes of blazing unspoken evil, and there fell a hush on Vorne. And this strange, swart man trod the avenues of Vorne, and there did follow him a dark shadow. For truly, he had only to turn his evil eyes upon the people of Vorne for their singing to stop and discord to break out. This man had been in Vorne but two days when the city changed to the eyes of the people. The coral buildings became as bleak granite, and all that was ivory turned to dust. The soft and flowing gardens were removed and clumps of grey thorns, extending vicious, twisted arms into the pathways were put in their stead. The very people of Vorne became warped and ugly, and laughed not. They scuttled down ruined alleys where once they strolled, hissing malic¬ iously where once they sang. The stranger, perceiving this change, continued down the river to Cymanth. He looked back once and smiled a quick, savage smile. But the golden city of Cymanth shone In the distance, and so he hurried on. Suspicion was his name. Jack Harris. 47
