BY GEORGE KITCHEN CHICAGO. Dec. 5 -- (GP) Livestock and grains from the lush farmlands of Canada captured 14 championships and 3'! first-place awards in Chicago's 40th Inter. national Livestock Exposition and grain and hay show.

Official figures released as the big. eight-day show drew to a close Saturday sliowsd that Ontario exhibitors caught 12 titles and 34 firsts while Alberta took two championships ‘pa three firsts. Entrants from Manitoba, Sask- atchewan and British Columbia, the other Canadian provinces com- peting. did not place among the winners. but were well up in sec- ond and third rankings. Exhibitors from the United States won 250 championships and 637 first-place awards.

Exposition officials said the Canadians showed up well. despite their seemingly low number of victories. They pointed out that in the livestock divisions, for cg. ample, Canadians had l35_ head competing in a field of 10,500 animals, the vast bulb of them American-bred.

As was expected. Canadians made their best showing in grams, capturing three coveted kingships and a number of firsts.

S. J. Allaop. 34-year-old farmer from Red Deer, Alta, again was crowned international wheat king. repeating his i947 performance. It was Canada's 16th consecutive victory in the wheat competition.

John T. Elink of Hairy Hill. Alta. was adjourned international oats king, bringing the Dominion her 3th straight oats championship.

Canada's third titleholder was William B. Beattle o! Staples, Ont. who was crowned soybean king.

John S. Frisby of Markham, Ont. was declared small peas champion while another Ontario competitor — Herold Holdaway of Blenheim - invaded the traditional Ameri- can corn-growlng field to capture thg championship in yellow corn.

In the livestock department, a Moo-pound Canadian ' Shorthorn bull - Bcotsdale Bombardier - wss adjudged the grand champion of his class and later sold on the auction block for 34.800. He was bred arid entered by S. G. Bennett o! Georgetown. Ont.

Aged Ilallfax Lady Recalls '17 Explosion

HALIFAX. Dec. 5 -(OP) -—An old lady-she was 8i just a few days ago-sat alone today and gazed through her window over the wide expanse of Halifax harbor. A church service came over her radio.

She was remembering that day 31 years ago tomorrow when the most horrible explosion in world history reduced this old seaport to a pile of rubble.

She was alone early that morning

on Deg, 6. 1947, when excited calls outside her home took her to a window.

Then it came. the thundering

blast as the munitions-laden ship in the harbor burst asunder.

The old lady's face still shows the scars ‘where slivers of glass gashed across her skin.

ller husband was led home days later-totally blind.

The death toll rose to 2.001); '23,- Obll were injured. many CFIPPIP‘! I0" life; aiid 500 disappeared without a trace.

Canadians Capture 14 . Chicago Championships

lluge Consumption 0i Butter Stressed

TORONTO. Dec. l — “Canadians are eating more butter today than ever before in history," stated J. H. Duplun, President of the National Dairy Council of Canada, in an ad- dress before the Ontarlo Creamery Association here today.

“In the month of October alone. over 31 million pounds of butter ‘were consumed. This fact should refute the oft-repeated charge that butter is too expensive." Mr. Du- plan stated that "on the basis of labour wage rates. more butter could be purchased at today's price than was possible twenty years ago when butter was selling at around 35c per pound."

"The butter industry returns ap- proximately 80% of the consumers dollar to the farmer-producer, a greater percentage than for any other food product. The butter in- dustry coniributes nearly $200,000.- ,0O0 a year to the Canadian economy and provides employment to many thousands of workers. About ons half of Canadds total milk produc- tion goes into the manufacture of butter by approximately 1.200 sep- arate creameries."

In commenting upon the various factors behind the butter shortage Mr. Duplan stated: "Mobilization of the Canadian food industry to help fight famine overseas has created many problems, including a short- age of butter. One of Britain's most-needed foods ls cheese. Can- ada contracted to ship 50,000,000 pounds of cheese to the Old Coun- try this year, and the British could use much more cheese if we could supply it.

Cheese I‘. oductlon

"One pound of cheese contains hull as much butterfaft as one pound of butter. l! Canada used just enough milk to make cheese for Canadians. there would be no winter shortage of butter in Can- ada. If the milk could have been diverted from making the amount of cheese for Britain as provided in the contract in 1948 it would have meant many million extra pounds of butter for Canadians.

"Canadians are the world's third biggest butter-eaters. We use al- most three times as much butter as do the Americans. Under controls, milk used in butter has paid the

dairy products. That resulted in diversion of milk from butter to other products. It has a more ser- ioua long-range effect, of vital in- terest to the public as well as to the industry’. Farmers, discouraged by returns from milk used in but- tcr-nuiking are in some instances turning from dairying to other forms of farming. Others are re- ducing their dairy herds or are failing to build them up."

“Canada's milk-cow production has iini. kept price with the growth of human population. Canada now has 1,500,000 more people but 250,- 000 fcivcr milk cows than it had iii 1940. Total milk production in 194R will be the lowest since 1941. The mill: supply-hymen means fluid milk nnil milk used in but- ter, cheese and other dairy pro- (liicts will he the lowest per person in 17 years.“

“The industry as a whole is do- ing everything it can to encour- age tlic building up of larger herds and thus to increase the produc- tion of milk for butter and all oth- er uses. But the former who keeps the cows which produce the milk ivaiiis a Iflil‘ wage, just as do his cousins \\'Il0 live in town and buy the products of his farm."

British Debate Social Status 0f Test Tube Babies

By TOM WILLIAMS

LONDON, Dec. a _ iAPi - Wliafs the social status of a test tube baby?

The Government ts being asked to settle the question and quiet a feud now raging among lawyers. ni-cralists, the clergy, newspaper" editors, the medical professicn and is lot of “John Does.“

A woman indentlfied only as "R.E.L.“ who bore hcr husband's child by artificial insemination, touched off the old controversy anew this week.

She asked that her marriage be dissolved because her husband was incapable of normal sexual relations. The court nullified the marriage and in an accompanying statement, spoke 0f the filree- ‘months-old offspring as an i116!- itimate. although her husband was the "donor"

Two questions on the subject already are on the House of Com- mans calendar for next week.

Boucher Says Rangers Down. But Not Out

By NORMAN ALTSTEDTEB.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 -— (OP) -- The Rangers are down but they are Iﬂl’ frcin cut says New York mauagci- Frank Boucher.

“But. if vie keep having the bad- luck uijurles we've had so far this season we won't have a China- man's chance," the mentor 0f the cellar-divelliiig blueshilrts added grimly today at the New York hockey writers‘ weekly luncheon.

The Ranger injury siU-iltiOYi is just about the same now as it was at the beginning of the season with a low names changed around. said Boucher,

Frank Exldolls. the other Rang- vr defence stalwart, is reported

recovering Nipidly from the knee injury he suffered in the ill-fated auto accident. and is also expect- ed to bolster ilie Broadvvayites shortly.

If Alex Kaleta’; shoulder is mended before Saturday's game at Montreal, he will be used on a line with O'Connor and big Ed Slow- inski.

O'Connor is counted on to pro- vicle the scoring punch lacking ill the Rangers. who have scored lIJ less goals this season than they did at the same time last year.

And O'Connor scored eight goals last year in the first 14 games - thc ones he missed this season.

Boucher revealed that lie watch- ed Providence Reds and Indian- apc-lis Millers mix it Wednesday night in an American Hockey League fixture and was impressed by iliree rearguards whose names he would not disclose.

Boucher isn‘t looking for any- one to replace Claiude (Chuckl Rayner in the Ranger nets. but he lauded Winnipeg-born ‘Perry Saw- cliuk of Indianapolis and IIPFVP)’ Bennett of Providence as goalies

The lean st. Louis Cardinal outfielder piled up an ‘impressive margin.

If the pitchers voted. instead of the writers, it probably would have been unanimous, for Muslal was s terror at. the plate all season - Hg led with an .378 average, 135 runs. 230 hits. 131 runs-batted-ln, 4b‘ doubles and 1B triples.

Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh and Johnny Mlzs of New York tied for home rim lain-sis with 4o, but Musiai was right behind with 39.
