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.

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 prices at this time, than at this | | same period any year in the | past. In other words, our prices | | here are now nearly in line with | 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 taking pee action to correct He I am Sir, etc, ' ' DANTEL GAS, | Cornwall, PEL than at the same , that | ; price difference applies to most | is it not signWicant that ring the 127162-square-mile | lake are covered with pine, fir, | | amet larch trees. , Russet cliffs |‘rise so sharply from the natrow ocher beaches thaé some trees appear suspended on. stilts rath -er--than -- rooted.-- Superstitious Cossack explorers who visited the lake in the 17th century fear- -ed the devil would release the ‘trees to crush them.
