They havesmade the nation stronger throudgh better healtit and through a better understanding of other people's problemps.1 The Canadian Cancer Society which in April conducts its annuai education and fund-raising drive, is suich an organization. It is made up of ail kinds -of people - people with a desire to serve their feilow man and rid civilization of one of the most dreaded of diseases. Anti-cancer activity is the full-time interest of countless scientists, phy- sicians, nurses, technicians and edu- cators. Anti-cancer activity is also the part-time concern of many thousands of other Canadians who, as volunteers of the Canadian Cancer Society, provide the inspiration and leadership fo"r the' cancer control movement. These are the dedicated men and wmnwho canvassfor funds, attend mieetinigs, cut and sew dressings, drive millions of miles annualiy to transp>ori patients, deliver gifts, viîit hospi tals, The Government1 Provincial Revenue Minister Alian Grossman noted a few'days ago that, the governiment is sending out money at a growing rate to those who fîled their income tax returns early.

These ac- tivities deserve strong sup- port. Our children spcnd close to 1,0010 hours a year ini school, but sonetimes par- ents dont kriow enough aibout the sohiools they at- tend. Many aspects of edu- cainhave changed sînce xve werce students, and while proven principles of teach- ing still prevail, parents naturally have questions about the kInd of education provided fortheir 'ehlîdren. 1How are my cblîdren learfing to read and write?

But that semi-annual plunge is no longer into a warmn bath of unaccus- Lomed luxury and service. It's more like a dive o ff the town dock justafter the ice bas gone out of bhe ay.

You totter across the capacious lobby and the bellbop relieves you of your bags jusb before you coihapse in i-ont of the desk. There's one bbing that hasn't changed: tbe room clerk.

Re: Cattie Raisers' Beef Dear Sïr: Elizabeth Catty "Chappe] Beech Farm" R. R.2, Blackstock, Ont. April 7th, 1973. Congratulations on the forceful editoria concerning a very imaportant issue in to-day's living pattern, As a bousewife, I tend to look bo miy food budget and worry about tbe shrfinking purcqhasing power of our dollar. But as a fair-minded citizen I read Mr. Nw Selby's vîewpoint with deep interest and sympa tby. There- are several points I would likie to sec more fully dîscussed in the press, such as the suspension of the use of STILBESTROL in Canada. I have no idea wby Ibis additive was suspended, what Il does bo the animal or bo the ultinîate consumer. In Ibis respect the press fails the Canadian reader signally. If what Mr. Selby avers is so, than it'is incomprebiensible to me why thc Canadian governmenit would ailow beef into our country from ciJt- . S. and even drop the tariff, if suc c!aittie is, stihi being fed with the additive. Thie contradiction of sucb action and the attendant'nmarketing problemis to' the Canadian cattie rancher must surely have an ex planation somecwbere. .The sta isties, abouit the rising fnood cost in Europe con'ipared to North America are not at ail useful or pertinent, as they compare net exporting witb net mmporting'econom- ies. W ith an approximate population of some 400 mil lions and an arable area hardly the size of Ontario, Europe has loojked abroad ever since intensive colonization openied up cheap sources of supply. Continental Europe bowever stili produces nearly al ber own food products; and anyone who folows the agýricul tural negotiations 'witbin bbc EE must be imprcssed by the size of f ood production ef some of the partners. Beef raising in Europe, however, bas neyer been greatiy developed because of the shortag e of vast grazing lands. Nor bas meat been a traditional source of food; domestic catie being 100 valuable as draft animais, and supphiers of dairy pr 'oducts. By the timne they were 100 old 'for service they bad smahh appeal tb bbe steak-caters. That this is an historical fact is borne out by European'cooking., Most meat dishes depend on long- simmerîng, frequenthy pre-conditionîng in wine or brîne, 10 render the meattender. But, Europeans managed to makea virtue ouI of necessiby. To-day Gourmet- cooking is al bbe rage. Even offal, such as liver, brains, kidney and sweet- breads, wben invenbively treated, find many new devotees. 1The vast American prairies as well as bhec exîsbmng Indian tradition of regarding meat as bbe basic diet rather than agrîcultural products, lead 10 bbc development of ranch-style catble raisîng. Grain feeding bas added even more greably 10 tbe fine quality of American'beef and so made it 10 bbe peerhess potable of al l imes. It is a very signîficant sociologicai testir"..ony (tlic prev"almliv ing standardts thlaf beef sbouid be the target of t-he consumers' attack to-day. Aibeit, onfly in the highly industria lized Westerin denmocracies. The far greater part of the worlds opulation still rernains at uncomfortably reminded of Marie-An- toinette's remark: "Let them eat cake!" - Cake, dear Lady, is notbing compared to a broiled sirloin.) Beef-raising, therefore, seems to be our best bet , if we are interested in becominga- major exportei- to the worid'sPdemanding consumers.- Can- ada is in the enviable position of having the 'greatest potentiai in thlis respect. Rather than fight over the unirenew-, able 'natural'- resources hidden in our soul, why could we not inîtiate programmes to stimulate young people to go into beef raýising and so develop a 'naturai' resource with truly unflimi ted potentiai? Feeding the hungry is surely a worthwhile endeavor to even the most hiprh-mindedidealist. An endea- vor whçicb bas also great financial rewards. At the risk of exbausting your pa tience, ]et me add two more -points wi th regard to food Prices. In 1948, when the c2ost-of-lîving index was set at 100, a pouAnd of butter cost 72-74 cents. In 1961, wben the index was re-set at 100. having risen by about 50 per cent mn the intervening. 13 years, t he cost of butter had remained steady; and is stili at that level, 25 years and a 100 per cent rîse'in generai, food costs later! I realize the price of butter is govern- ment supported. I question the need for that support to-day,, wben most Canadians suffer from high-cbolesteroi ýand, have switcbed to vegetable fats. Those preferring butter are probably in a position to indulge their taste. The subsîd on butter could well be funnelKed into programmes for beef- ramsing. Lastly, the price of bacon. In 1948, a Pound cost about 38 cents. By 1960 it was down(!) and some stores offered three pounds for $1. At that time, the U.S. commodity exchanges added frozen sow bel lies to, their ever-mn- creasing Eist of food products. Immed- iately the price of bacon began to rîse. To-day, at the sometime price of $1.19 per pound, bacon is a bad buy. I have switcbed to hamn - lean, tasty and a fuli pound for my money, rather than nine ounces of smoky, unusabie dropping per pound of bacon.- The artificial yo-yo game of turning production off an~d on depend- ing on market prices has been a very costiy and damagingpoiicy on the part of government an d producer to the point, where we now face a consumer revoit. Everybody is the loser. Can some sensible arrangement be made which will benefit everyone, the country as a whole, and t he world's starving masses? - There is somne- tbing to pray for. Sincerely yours, ElizabethCatty andi ~~ CiXstant £Past From the Statesman Files
