To do him justice, it was not Tony's iault that his bride was leit stranded on the sidelines with his mother and his old-maid sister. He tried to take her with him to the punch bowl. “Look here," he said, "where's my wile? I! I'm to drink a health, I'll drink hers."

Britons Take liim View 0i Budget

BY NORMAN CRIBBBNS (Canadian Press Si!!! Writer)

LONDON. April 7 — (OP) Britons yesterday took a good look at their newest austerity budg and said plenty. -

Fourpence (6 2/3 cents) more for meat and no reliei in Income Tax - "good heavens."

Forupence more ior chase and no decline in purchase taxes -—' "Oh my."

Twopencs more ior butter, a penny on “marg“ and higher tele- phone bills -- “That's the limit."

Even the concession by Sir Stai- iord Cripiie, chanmilor oi the ex- ‘chcquer. oi one penny oii the pint oi beer did little to soiten the blow to the pocketbook oi the man-in-the-street.

‘It means I get beer a penny cheaper but I've got to give my old

lady that and more too to buy cheese." was the typical mment.

Britons are still making the world's highest-prices cigarets — and now they'll have to pay more ior matches with which to light them.

‘more were those who agreed it couldn't be helped. Some even used iho chancellor's phrase: “You can't have your cake and eat it too." But nearly everyone agreed the budget was a shocker.

“From the housewiies viewpoint it is a very disappointing budget," commented Mrs. A. W. Wakeﬁeld, president oi the national council oi women.

"The meat shortage means people will have to depend more on cheese ior their proteint. So many middle-class people, who are the new poor, are going to iind butter and margarine increases very bad’ indeed."
