RCMP Supt. F. B. Woods-| Johnson said there "has been| quite a bit of undercover work| involved and we are still at it.") There was no indication of! what areas might be involved! in further investigations. The RCMP investigation, which be- gan last August, had two men orginally and has since swelled to a seven - man operation. In Ottawa, Health Minister Monteith urged Canadians to re- main calm about the situation and said the sale of meat unfit for human consumption has been stopped. However, Mrs. Helen Morn- ingstar of Toronto, national food chairman of the Consum- ers Association of Canada, said bad meat is being sold all across the country. "Poultry is just as big a prob- lem as the tainted meat," she said. By late Friday, the RCMP had laid charges against 14 men, nine in Southern Ontario and five in the Ottawa area. Police said the two groups were apparently unconnected. Among those charged under the Food and Drug act is Or mond C. Raymond, a veterin- arian with the Brant. County health depariment.

Most Southern Ontario traffic was slowed to a crawl Friday by treacherous ice conditions. Plane flights in some areas were either cancelled or delayed, and power and telephone lines were occasionally out. The Windsor - Chatham-Sar- nia triangle was hardest hit by freezing rain. The Blue Water Bridge at Sarnia was often de- serted because trucks and other vehicles couldn't get a grip on its surface.

Dr, John E. Stearns, Ottawa's director of food control and san- itation, said much of the public alarm which has resulted is un- necessary. Dr. A. R, Boyd, Toronto med- ical officer of health, described the bootlegged meat as distaste- ful rather than dangerous and said "we haven't had much of a problem with bad meat." RCMP said about 200,000 pounds of the meat appeared monthly on the market in Southern Ontario as rolled roasts, bologna, sausages, stew- ing meat and hamburger. By late Friday, more politi- cians than health officials were commenting on the problem, as city aldermen in Toronto, Ham- ilton and Ottawa and several provincial and federal leaders madé pronouncements, DENOUNCES PRACTICE Ontario Health Minister Dy- ~~ er Bipot of such meat is "a dreadful thing," and prom- ised to bring it up at a cabinet meeting next week.
