BEEF CONSUMPTION

Canadians ate 72 pounds of beef per person in 1965. which is 376 per cent higher than the average since 1052. Forty-two per cent of Canada's total inspected kill was of grade red or blue label eom- pared to 2i per cent In 1988. Last

Attended Po

Chief of Police C. W. Mac- Arthur, who returned to the City Friday evening from Calgary with Mrs. MacArthur, after attending the annual convention of the Can- adlan Association of Chiefs of Police, said he was impressed with the appearance of that city and was mined at the extent of its gro The populations of

killed each week. This year the figure is nine per cent higher to date.

Canada's high economic level, plus an expanding population, has created an unusual'y strong de- mnnd for meat, which has result.- ed in the country becoming a net importer of both beef and beef cat- tle. The lil55 per capita consump- tion. of beef was 72 pounds com- pared with the 1950-52 average of 48 pounds. Even though Canadian cattle numbers are the highest in more than ten years, this has led Canada to reduce its exports to the United States.

Exports of beef cattle dropped from 400.000 head in 1948-50 to 25.- 000 head last year. Canada. hie- torically a net exporter of beef, last year imported approximately 15 million pounds. The poeple of Argentina ate about 19) pounds of beef and veal each during 1955 -compared with 91 pounds each in the United States.

AYRSIIIRE8

Twenty-six Ayrshlres were re- cently purchased by the Direction General Ganberla, Guatemala City, Guatemala. for resale among prom- lnent dairymen in Guatemala. The Ayrshires purchased were main- ly two-year-old heifers and they were selected from herds in Wes- tern Ontario. This is believed to be the largest shipment of pure bred Ayrlltlres that has been mule from Canada to this Central Amer- ican country.

Convention In Calgary -l

lice. CI1iefs'

several cities of the prairie pro- vinces had incrensed immensely, particularly Calgary and Edmon- ton which appear to be literally bursting at the seams. At the Pre- sent the western provinces, are enjoying an era of prosperity on a scale which was unknown up to the last few years. This is due mainly to the discovery 05 V881 cl ” of oil and minerals in the prairie provinces.

On his passage through those provinces he observed that farm- ers in parts of Manitoba are in danger of losing a portion of their crops due to heavy rains. ln Saskatchewan and Alberta there are areas in which the harvest- ing has come to a complete standstill. In all three provinces they are experiencing a shortage of farm labour. almost compar- able to the days in which Lhe harvest excursions were operated by the railways.

Speaking from is tourist point of view. the chief said that be noticed that there were very few automobiles that displayed licence plates from outside the various provinces and United States lic- ienee plates were noticably lack- rig.

LARGE CONVENTION

With regard to the convention he said that about 150 delegates attended many of them with their wives. All provinces were repre- sented with the exception of New- foundland. In the election of of- ficers. Chief of Police Peter White of Summerside was elected pro- vlncial representative for P.E.I. on the executive council. Other officers elected were : president, Chief C. E. Bagnall. Cbathsm, Ontario; Ist Vice-president. Ben iamln Bouzan, head of the Investi- gation Department C. P. R.: Tod vice. Chief J. T. Trouisch. King- ston. Ontario; 8rd vice, Chief I. L.

PREMIERS ADDRESS I

The Premier and Attorney Gen- 1 eral of Alberta, E. C. Manning in his address, put emphasis on increased training in the home, school and church. Stressing that parents showed not raise children with the idea of leaving it to the police to train them in right and wrong.

At the final banquet a number of the leaders of the convention were presented with white stet- sons by the mayor. A special pre- sentation was made to Chief and Mrs. Mat.-Arthur who received the ten gallon hats from His worship as an expression of admiration that he has for P.E.I. and Char- lottetown in particular. The second day of the convention was given over entirely to touring Banff and Lake Louise as the guests of the Calgary Police Department.

In closing his summary the chief said that several of the mem- bers who had attended the con- vention in Charlottetown last yehr were still loud in their praise of the Islands scenic beauty and entertainment.
