Urges Thicker Bacon Slices

IOVPTAWA. (OP)- A western farmer Tuesday outlined to the Senate his plan to rid Canada of surplus meat. His idea: stop "shav- ing" bacon into wafer-thin slices.

Senate R. B. I-loi-nor (PC- Saskatchewan) made the sugges- tion during the throne speech dc- ba-te. adding it to his annual com- plaint that he can't buy roast beef in most restaurants and. when he can. it costs too much.

"First of all." he said. ”I woultl instruct someone to hove confis- cated all those slicing machines that shave bacon in thin wafers. I defy anyone to cook such thin slices properly.

"If instead of slicing pork thin. it was sliced in good thick slices. we would soon get rid of our stir- plus meat."
