Novem- ber thousands af farmers through- out Canada will receive Livestock and Poultry Survey forms with a request ta fili in the information concerning the livestock opera- tions on their own farms. The Agricultural Division of the Do- minion Bureau af Statistics in co- operation with the several provin- cial Departments of Agriculture is collecting this information. Fram the returns received framn farmers estimates of the number of live- stock in Canada at Dec. 1, 1947, will be obtained. In addition, in- formation will be obtained with respect ta the disposition o! ive- stock during the last six months, i.e., marketings, killed on farms and natural deaths. Questions are also being asked abouit future in- tentions ta, market. As in former years the success ai the survey will depend toaa great extent upan the ca-operatian received from farmers in i illing out and returning the forms. A large number of returns is need- ed in order that representative sample of the 1ivestock industry may be obtained for each of the provinces. From this sample it is passible ta estimate the changes in numbers fram the year prev- ious. This year the Bureau is in- troducing a new type o!farm which will be easier for the farm- er ta fi out. The information obtained from the survey is used extensively thraughout the year. The world Food and Agricultural Organiza- tian depends upon the Bureau ta supply up-ta-date figures an Can- ada's agricultural industry. The Bureau is also the officiai source of statistical information which is used by governiments, farm argan- izations and industry ta plan fu- ture operations. It is in the farm- er's own interest that a truc pic- ture of farm conditions be obtain- ed and for this reason his co-op- cration is solicited ta complete and return the forms as soon as pas- sible. The information that farmers provide ta the Bureau is kept strictly confidential. The farmer is protected by law against misuse of his returns and his individual form is seen only by workers in the Dominion and Provincial ag- ricultural statistical offices.

Letter From Kolland To Carter FamIIy At Burketon The following extracts have been taken fromn a letter receiv- ed by Mr. and Mrs. John Carter, Burketon, from Antoinette Otten, Erp, Holland. The late F. O. Roy Carter wvas hidden in the Otten home, by the Dutch Underground, during the Nazis occupation. The Ottens have kept in contact with the Carters since the end af hos- tilities and in this recent letter they describe the ceremony that took place on the second of Feb- ruary, 1947, in Tilburg where they unveiled a monument, dedi- cated ta the airmen who lost their lives. "The ceremany was an impres- sive event. The invited ipersans were received in the beautiful tawn hall, a former palace of aur ing, Willem II, a century ago. After a short welcome by the baurgomaster, in a long line We went through Tilburg's streets ta the humble, but now known as heroic quarter, where "Aunt Ca- ba" lived and the drama hap- pened. The storne was veiled. by the Dutch flag, the same that had covered the corpses of the three victims by Tante Coba when the Germans ordered ber ta take a sheet. I think you would like the terra-cobba stone made in relief, Dutch, English, Canadian and Au- stralian authorities paid honor and thanks with speeches and beautiful Wvreaths. I neyer saw such a magnificent wreath as that from Canada made from white Christmas roses atnd dark red Amn- arylis. At aur request the three Cana- dian Delegates, the Ambassador, Mr. P. Dupuy, the military At- tache, Colonel de Rame, were sa kind ta stand before the stone %vith ahl flowers around for us ta make a picture as a souvenir for you as xve told them. Suddenly the crowýÀds pushed forward and we were too late. Aftcrwards we entered into the bouse of Aunt Coba where many underground workers were ga- thered. Her brother, bis wife and childrcn told bow tbings happen- ed. At that Urne they lived op- posite at the back of Aunt Coba's house. They saw things happen on that horrible day and were in Essen (Germany) for sorne weeks hast summer as chief witnesses against the four murderers. The fifth bas flot yet been caught, but the others were sentenced ta death for war-crimes. You can be sure that if ane of the Carter family ever cames ta Holland, he shahl find friends in Tilburg, Erp, Dinther, Schyndel and in ail the places where Ray stayed." The letter gaes on ta describe conditions in Holland which are improving slowly and in compari- son with other Europian countries are the fartbest advanced. They are grateful for the help received frorn the Allies without which they are sure their country could nat exist, econamically and poli- tically. K 'I r j. erally faster pace cf living had brought changes which called for solution and as one of the leading factors ta meet change the recrea- tion scheme was indispensable. At the annual meeting of Bow- manville Community C o u n c il which will be attended by repres- entatives from the Town Council, Mr. Smithson plans te give a gen- eral account af the convention at Barrie. The meeting will be held in the Lions Community Centre, Thursday evening, Nov. 20. Annual Recreation Conference HeId In Barrie The Town of Barrie was hast ta the annual conference of the Ontario Recreational Directors hast week, which convened ta dis- cuss expanded activities in this important field throughout Ontar- io for the coming year. Bart Smithson, Recreational Director, Bowmanvile, was one of the 60 delegates taking part in the con- ference. He told The Statesman that the growth of the Community Recreation Scheme in Ontario could be well assessed in the num- ber of Directors in attendance, and not a single community had given up the plan since its intro- duction. Speakers at the convention in- cluded Syl Apps, Athletic Com- missioner for Ontario and Her- man Votden, an authority on Art who dealt with problems in their respective spheres as applied ta the recreation programme. At the civic banquet presided over by the Mayor ai Barrie, Dr. Kenneth Rogers, Spcretary, Big Brothers' Movement, spoke on the subjeet, "Make Your Communities Strong." He called attention ta the youth problem o! today and commended the r ec re at i o n a scheme as one of the surest means toward its solution. 1Chief speaker at the convention was Prof. G. Ott Romney, Dean o! the University of West Virginia. He spoke on Recreation as a Way of Life, and outlined the sweep o! the recreational idea a c r o s s America in recent years.
