Critics doim Boussac intended the Dior house to promote his own fabric, but except for a few mod- els in Boussac cotton made up for an annual cot:- ton show, the expansive Dior line has always been made up in silks and Woollens. ‘ _ When Dior died last year, Bons- sac took another big chance by picking Yves Saint - lament, a shy, 21 - year - old, virtually 1m- huown designer, to head the house. It paid off with the fash- ion critics at the very rifst show. Boussac himself never attends a Dior opening, having seen the line at a private showing, but his wife, opera star Fanny Heldy, is always there and selects most of her wardrobe from the Dior line.

Since 1930, they have had the 50-mile overland haul to Dawson Creek, northwestern terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways’ line, and it wasn’t until 1942 when the Alaska Highway was built that the north Peace had an all— wcather‘ link with a railway to outside markets. . Thoughts of a shorter and swifiter haul to Pacific northwest markets and ocean shipping and of lower freight charges on goods going in and out of the area brought a feeling of satisfaction to the unnamed farmer. The bridge be pointed to was built by the Pacific Great East- ern Railway, which by August is to connect North Vancouver by rail with this centre of 4,500 per- sons. Trains already are. travel- ling to Taylor, site of a refinery and gas scrubbing and sulphur plants. EXTENSION PLANNED Later, the entire Peace region receive a direct rail outlet to the coast when the PGE is ex: tended 50 miles south of here to Dawson Creek, through which an average of 3,000,000 bushels of grain now is shipped annually to Edmonton, an inland point as far as Fort St. John from Vancouver. The blow by the weather last: fall was softened 3 little by the agriculture industry’s diversified nature here. Much of the snowed- under crop was salvaged as feed for the 10,000 cattle} and 10,000 hogs raised in the region. harvested crops because they had turned to cash crops such as bar. ley and grasses. The province made available distress loans of up to $5,000 this spring, but the percentage of farmers borrowing under this was low and the sums borrowed mainly under $500. The crop diversification, com- bined with the coming of the PGE, is a good reason for farm. ers’ hopes to be high. “One of our biggest jobs now," said district agriculturist Russ Brown of Fort St. John, “is to educate our farmers so they will increase their livestock produc- tion."

FARM PRICES UP OTTAWA (GP) --- The index of farm prices of agricultural pro- livestock returns, advanced to 244.1 in May from 240.6 in the previous month, the bureauof statistics reported Monday. In May this year indexes were up in all provinces except Prince Ed- ward Island, Nova Scotia and Sas- katchewan compared with a year previous. agriculturists, both said there should be fine opportunities for livestock feeding in this region with the railway completed. The agriculturists said it is cheaper to ship cattle to feed than feed to cattle. This makes it possible to bring feeder stock from Williams Lake and Quesnel areas of the Cariboo, about 350 to 400 rail miles southwest, to the Peace feed supplies, fatten them and ship them to Vancouver mar- kets. Eventually, some residents ex- pect a meat packing industry to be established in the Peace River area so that bulk shipments of finished produce could be shipped to market, leaving a greater per- centage of the profit here. An average of 5,000 acres of rich virgin land is being cleared annually in the north Peace as the industry expands.

It has stirred- considerable in~~ terest and enthusiasm in medi- cal circles. Some hospital and medical leaders call progressive care a re- volutionary idea bound to save money for patients and hospitals alike,‘ and to tailor medical care to the person’s needs. They esti- mate 20 to 50 per cent of patients in a general hospital could be cared for in self-help units. Building costs ‘could be reduced advocates say. You wouldn’t be equipping every room with costly equipment. Other officials suggest a slow approach to learn how well the system works, or what problems it might create.

This is done in the intensivecare unit. ‘ WATCH EARLY RECOVERY Here come all the patients from surgery, watched and tended while they recover from anaes- thesia and the initial shock of their operations. Whether a patient draws a pri- vate or ward bed here depends not upon how much he can pay, but on how sick he is and his need for private accommodation. Whether in wards or private rooms, the patient in the intens- ive - care unit pays the shine price. At Manchester it averages $22 a day. .
