Mr. Edward-

-----.---.......... Ostcrmzin of Lowell, Mass, is tak- ing home 40 head and Mr. C. Leroy Ambye of Charles River Village, Mass, has purchased 40 island cattle.

The purchases were cvenly dis- tributed among the breeders with the biggest purchase bcing four Ayrshircs from one farmer by Mr. Duggan. Eight l-lolsteins were bought in thc Freetown area by Mr. Ambye.

The big demand for Holsteins was followed by a secondary dc- mand for Ayrshires. Afew Guern- scys were also bought. There were no beef cattle purchased as the buyers are all in the dairy business.

A pair of racing fillies were bought from Mr. Keith Boswell and Son, -Victoria. by Mr. Michel- son. The latter also bought a pair of purebred Ayrshires from the Boswell's.

These men have been buying. cattle in the Province from time to time. Mr. Michelson himself has not bcen here for eleven ycar.i but makes purchases through his representative. The others come here at various intervals.

Mr. Duggsn regretted that the Holstein breeders. in his opin- ion. had not made the progrew that the Ayrshire men had in building up their stock. Although he said be viewed some good herds of l-iolsieins here he stig- gesicd that the Holstein men buy some outstanding blooded sires and further develop their herds.

The buyers were highly dissatis-

ficd with tho cnncliiions of the dirt roads. The dust. they said. was choking them and many

times they found it difficult to breathe freely.

British hiiy Sign Contract With Moscow

By Alan Harvey

LONDON. June 2-(CF)-Cam ndn's chances of selling more soft- wood lumher to Britain appeared today i0 depend on Russia.

sources in the building trade reported that it crucial timber shortage is in the making here, but added that Britain is reluct- ant to spare dollars for increased supplies from Canada.

Sir Edward Monkhouse, Britain's timber controller. now is in Mos- cow for negotiations of softwood contracts. The Government is understood to feel that discussions may prove fruitful, since negotiat- ions were started on Russian in. itintive. :

If Moscow comes through, Brit- ain may be able to switch dollars from Canadian timber to relieve other shortages.

Meanwhile, some softwood is arriving from Canada. Board of Trade officials declined today to d-lclose how much or what ship- ments are envisaged.

Two British newspapers discus. sed timber today. The Conservat- ive Daily Mail, commenting on recent statements that the count- 1'y's dollar position is improving. predicted that more dollars may be provided for Canadian timber to speed up the housing drive.

But it hedged a little, saying the dollars might be used up elsewhere if Britain negotiated a big timb- er contract with Moscow.

The Financial Times. which op- poses the Government. said the shortage has been aggravated by failure of the Government's bulk- buying negotiations with Sweden. which so far has supplied only 30.000 standards instead of an an- ticipnicd minimum of 250.000 standards. (A standard is 1,980 board feet.)

The Financial Times said Brit- ish importers would like to see as many as 500,000 standards pro- duced as 11. result of the negotiat- ions with Russia.

The stabbing occurred April 13 when Donaldson and four com- pariicns went to Normand: room and engaged in a fierce argument over the price of a cheap bottle of wine.

An Assize Ccurt jury found Normand guilty of manslaughter after five days of testimony-

Mr. Justice Schroeder told Nor- mand he could see no excuse for what he termed "rm unjustifiable act committed by you in a savage fit of temper."

He said the stabbing had taken the life of in young man of N years who. despite his seemlmly loose existence. might have been redeem- ed to live a long and useful life.

"Human life in our country is very precious." the Judge said. "To impose , ishment is a very pairi- ful thing to my judge but I must bear in mind the duties which I am bound to fulfill."

J. A. Spence Pitt, Toronto lawyer who defended Normand, referred to Nmmandls early life during which there had been no fiunily connectionii. He declared Normand had been sleeping peace- fully In his room when Donaldson and five others roused him.

Oi-own Attorney Raoul Mercier. x.c.. said he felt that the pun- ishment should be exemplary and that Normand should be sent to a place when he would not again be in a position to use a knife. .

SATURDAY, JUNE 3,

TIMMLNS. Ont... June 2 -(CF) --Gold thieves who looted b'I5,000 in bullion from a mine vault were hunt-cl tonight across Northern Ontario.

Provincial Police and 11.0 MJP. officers stopped all drivers for questioning on the few highways. They kept close check on the movements of private airplanes. They poked through the town dump in hope of finding a hiding place of the three gold bars taken last night from the Delnite Mine, five miles south of here.

Their investigation of the big- gest gold robbery in the Northern Ontario history also included questioning of the 230-odd Delnlte employees, some of whom were on the pioperty at the time a vault. was blasted open and a small safe containing the pure gold carried off. With machinery running, ap- parently no one heard the ex- ploslon.

Mine oilficials placed the exact

vllus of the stolen gold gt; 374,-mo based on the official price of 88.50 an ounce. But mining men said it would bring much more on the free market.

The gold had been placed in the office vault to await shipment to the Royal Mint in Ottawa.

The licence number of an auto- mobile stolen at Mattawa. 0nt.. nearly 200 miles southeast of here. was broadciist to police taking part in the search.

Inspector Harold H. Graham of the Provincial Police Criminal In- vestigation Hranch flew here from Toronto to assist members of the force's gold squad.

some officers expressed belief that. the thieves would try to dis-i pose of the loot thrcughlclianinels used by the high-graders in the handling of gold-bearing ore il- legally obtained from the mines. There was a. possibility that the gold bars would be buried in some remote spot until the hunt dies down.

Cost Of Living index Unchanged

OTTAWA. June 2 --(CP) --The cost of living index remained stat- ionary at 164.0 during April. the Bureau of Statistics reported to- day.

A slight increase in foods dur- ing the month was offset by de- creases in fuel and light and clothing. It marked the first half: since last December in the steady upward climb of the index to the ali-time high of 164.0 reached in March.

The index. calculated on the basis of 1935-39 prices equal 100, stocd at 161.0 in December. 1940.

The food group index advanced one-teiith of a point to 204.6 from 204.5 registered in March.

Building Boom in The United States

NEW YORK. Julie 2 -(C P) - Tilc Urrited States building boom is carrying construction prices ever hlgher and creating black market ccridltions for many materials.

Builders, hosieged by would-be buyers. are moaning about short- ages that have developed. particu- larly in lumber. and claim that in marry cases they are iinrtble to get materials at contract prices. Sup- plies are going to the highest bid- dcrs.

The stepped-up rate of building l.'.' partly responsible. In April 126,000 dwelling units wcre started. well surpassing the previous rec- ord of 1l0.000.in March.

The weather also is a factor An open winter in most regions allow-

ed building to continue uninter- rupted. hut in the lumbering areas of the northwest and

northeast a hard spring has held up the supply of logs.

strikes have also been a factor. delaying delivery of several hous-

- ., .-nu.

One reason for the bcom in house-building appears to be the new plan of easy financing re- cently approved by the U. S. Con- gress. A family now can buy aS'7.- 000 house by paying as little as who down and 840 a month.

This scheme. underwritten by the U. 8. Government. makes fin- ancing a home cheaper than buy- ing in car. with one important dif- ference-thc payments on the house go on for 30 years.

However. the terms are so in- vlting that they have attracted swarms of persons anxious to own their own homes. They doubtless have been encouraged by the grow- ing A d y in various states to 'abolish rent contacts. and by the feeling that building prices will go no lower for a lonl time.
