By selecting brothers and sisters for mating, Dr. Strong produced family strains in which this change in genetic structure could be made to reappear often or dom inantly in succeeding generations. The descendants of such in-bred lines repeatedly inherited the un» usual characteristic.

By the same kind of selection, of resistant mice, Dr. Strong prp- duced family iincs of mics which did not get cancer at the site where the chemical was injected. The tumors developed at remote sites on their bodies.

These resistant mice also do not get cancer spontaneously.

Dr. strong ivas the first to dem~ onstrate that a cancer-producini! substance can alter genetic struc- ture and change inheritance. Th" experiments are evidence, he said that cancer may he caused by a chemical or virus that changes tho genetic structure in the body cells

Expect Advance In Mont Con-tract Prices

Mr, Gardiner’: original ann- ouncement, made before the recent Dominion-Provincial agricultural conforencc, said that the purpose of the "increased price level for. livestock ucts was to compen- "ion. the recent advances in‘ the prlcesmfgrsins used for thl‘ feeding of livestock.

The expectation, presumably, is that if prices in the British coh- iract are advanced. the levels on the domestic retail market also will move higher. This has happened in the put with the result that the British contract level has coma to be called an unofficial "coiling" on meat priccs on the domestic, m8- kst. e ‘his la because ind domestic price level ll automatically drawn-up to the higher rats which tho Canad-
