Mr. Parent also expressed re- gret that there were so many dairy breeders changing to beef cattle or trying to operate on K 50-50 basis.

Surveying a language use, cen-' sus-takers last year found that the number of Canadians using Eng- iih as 'theli- only official language climbed to 9.387.000, up 1,652,000 from 7.735.000 in 1941.

In the period Canada's total pop- ulation climbed to 14,000,000 from 1i.500,C00.

The number of Canadians who used only French increased to 2,- 742,000. a gain of 560,000 from 2.- 182.000.

Though Canada was still far from being a bilingual country, the number of Canadians who used both French and i-jiiglzsh cliinbcdl to 1,727,000, A rise of 253.000 from 1,474,000.

Quebec was the home of 92 pcry cent of all Canadians who used. French only as the official lain:-1 uagc. Ontario held 44 per cent of all those who used English only. i
