everybody knows that such is not the case. It notes that last vear alone, the Vancouver Better Business Bureau received 1,642 calls concerning used ears and used car dealers, many of them telling of failure of such vital components as brakes and_ steering before the vehicle had even arrived home.

The Vancouver paper concedes that it's difficult to sympathize with _car buyers who haven't got the sense to have a car inspected by a qualified independent mechanic before pur- chase. But consumer protection isnot the issue here. What is at issue is public safety. And no matter’ how comprehensive the planned provincial testing system becomes, the combina- tion of the unscrupulous used car dealer and the stupid purchaser can defeat any system which puts the onus for mechanical safety on the purchaser only.

- EDITORIAL NOTES °

A federal official is authority for the statement that Canadians spend $32-riillion on dog and cat meat an- nually while provincial and munici-— pal governments spend only $26 mil- lion on public hosing. This. is indeed _& curious comment. on our sense of

i “values. Britain is about to start baring its

during the strike period. This spokes: man said that if the service was struck, state of emergency powers at the provincial level wouldn't . do Premier Campbell much good. The Premier would still have to take over ownership of the ferrt from the fed- eral government and was unlikely to do’this. Anv temporarv transfer of control would breach the CNR-con- tract with the union and incite court” action, ‘We don't want fo isolate Prince Edward Island or any other place.” the spokesman said; but it was for the workers to make the ‘ decision. > That same evening—knowing the 4 ew of-their national leaders and after urgent solicitation from Premier Campbell to the same effect—_mem- | bers of Local 127 at Borden decided My unanimously to tie up the service and to establish picket lines to all entrances to railway property at Borden.

| BEEF CATTLE MARKET

-Sir.—-When the strike at Can- ada Packers became imminent, the livestock producers of this

| province became much concern- |

| @d. Especialy the beef cattle

producers’ were afraid of what

| they thought likely to happen to | their market regarding demand | atid especially prices.

' Now that the strike has been in effect for about six weeks, it is enlightening to observe what

| has happened to the beef cattle

| market here. Because pricés are established by’ very large vol- ume of public sales at Toronto, Winnipeg and other centers, we must first refer to them and in recent week§ we find the price

“for —standard—grade—steers, live —

[ eeldbt in Toronto to be one cent per pound less those at the same time last year.

It would only be natural to expect the same price drop here, but that is not the situa-

« tion. Instead, we find the price

for standard steers here at pres- ent to be three cents higher, live weight, time one year ago, and other grades also.

Now Sir,

that when the price fs one cent

| less at Toronto it has increas- ed by three cents here. In other words, our price relationship to the Toronto prices is four cents more favourable for us now than !t was one year ago. Or | ! to sav it still another way, if | Toronto is taken as the basic, then by that measure a produc- er here tiow..of a ten huridred

pound standard steer is receiv- | ing $40.00..more._ for, his animal

| than he would have received for

, the same animal one year ago. |

It is also significant to note | that our beef cattle prices here>

| at present, have @ more favour- | ' able relationship to’ the Toronto

| Toronto prices. é

>. I bring this te public attention in the hope that the local De- partment of Agriculture, the Beef Producers Association and others. will make note of this situation and file proof of it, euch at the Department of Agriculture Livestock and Meat Trade Report price quotation lists, sales slips, ete, then when the price drops much out of line again (as it surely will), they will have the proof that it | is out of line and be justified in
