Original Toronto Star caption: The president and the price problem: Thomas Bolton, chief executive of Dominion Stores Ltd., shown examining sides of beef destined for the supermarkets of Canada's biggest chain, catapulted himself innocently into the national news this week by remarking at an Ottawa conference that food prices will continue to soar next year. Star columnist Jack McArthur wonders why anyone found this news either surprising or shocking.
