LOCAL BRIEFS

TO CONVENTION

E.P- Lynds, — morning to attend Railread train- at

the main group was divided into

Lean, Agricultural Representa- tive—to discuss questions related particularly .to the initiation and operation of farm forums. ;

Father Roach summarized the reports from the groups under the headings of 1. Projects, 2.

ganization of new Forums. Community

pro can and _ | should be initiated ‘arm For- ums—i.e. fire fighting’ equipment,

road signs, and co-operative pur- chasing of farm machinery. The needs of Forums include— more rallies, more social life in the rual community and more le- cal topics discussed. Forums re- quire more leadership, publicity and an opportuniy to read more Agricultural literature.

Present forums can initiate new forums by sending out speak- ers to neighbouring communit- ies, local projects, and by in- teresting young people in the or- ganization. :

The Summerville 4H Club pre- sented many interesting num- bers for entertainment, including a Sing Song in which everyone participated.

STORING POTATOES

Although potatoes are the veg- etable found most often on the Canadian menu many consum- ers know relatively little about buying and storing quality pro-

duce,

“Buy by grade.” Packages should be marked ‘Canada No. I’ or Canada No. 2’, The main dif- ference between Grade I and

BEEF CATTLE IMPLANTS With the interest these days in hormone implants for beef cat- itle, two suggestions are pertin- ent. Don’t stint on the feed and |don’t be in a hurry to market implanted cattle.

Implanted cattle can make greater gains but they must be jgiven enough feed and water to provide for these gains. There ;will be no advantage ‘from im- plants unless the cattle eat en- ough to utilize response from the hormones.

MONTREAL (CP) — Donald |

. CNR president, Wednes-

day reported an over - all in- crease in railway revenues during 1959 — with more freight but fewer passengers. i

In‘ his year-end review, Mr. Gor- | don also pointed to a “continuing | railway dilemma” caused by try-| ing to keep revenues in line with | rising costs.

“This repretitive squeeze be| tween revenues and expenditures | Canadian National’s | need to increase productivity and |

“The year 1959 has been for

| Canadian National a period of in- | tensive drive on all fronts to win

its share of an increasingly com- petitive transportation market.” |

THREE-PER-CENT GAIN

Tonnage figures for revenue freight handled in 1959 improved- by about three per cent — about . 2,000,000 tons — over 2958. Major volume increases in moving ore, | concentrates and other prod- | ucts, forest products, p iron, automobile bodies and parts were main factors in the improvement. |

However, grain and grain prod- ucts, pulpwood, coal, and manuw- | factured iron and steel articles ' showed a decrease. |

Passenger train revenues de- clined by about three per cent, compared with a 12-per-cent drop in 1958. This happened, Mr. Gor- | don said, “despite vigorous ef- forts to improve the passenger revenue position, including a re-' duction in train miles of unprofit- | able services and a stepped - up, sales campaign marked by strik- | ingly new incentive features.” |
