points short of the visitors when
the final whistle blew.

The airmen took an early

FOR or AGAINST School Loan By-Law Referendum No. 1

but REMEMBER:

Do we want to continue to carry more. than our proportion

The Government contribution for schools is 75 percent, which
is a grant from Consolidated Revenue and comes from taxes
levied on all industries and groups, INCLUDING the cattle industry.
The balance is paid by the district, and the larger proportion of
this comes from taxes levied on our land. Do we wish to go on
carrying this burden?

This does not mean that we do not want a good education
for our children.

THERE IS ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE:

EQUAL taxation of all industries and groups.

We believe the defeat of the referendum is a step in the
right direction for the alternative of EQUAL TAXATION.

CARIBOO CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

8,000 more than last week and
3,000 less than last year’s full
week deliveries. Eastern mar-
kets accounted for 600 head of
the increased volume and west-
ern outlets 7,400. The supply
was a mixed quality offering,
with Toronto the only centre to
report a generally good grading
run. Choice cattle were scarce
at western outlets and most of
the receipts graded medium and
below with cows making a fairly
large proportion of the total.
Thursday’s close left some 1,400
cattle unsold, including 900 at
Toronto, some of them good
steers and heifers,and 300 at
Winnipeg.

Sharply expanded marketings,
the run being the largest for
four weeks, coupled with fairly
generous imports from United
States and a narrower demand
brought about a general down-
ward revision in steer and heifer
prices of 50c to $1. Calgary was
an exception and showed losses
of 25-60c early, but regained
some of these by the close, and
Montreal followed an opposite
course to advance 50c on a light
supply» The general los s in the
cow market was around 50c,
with good cows more affected
than common andca nners, but
Winnipeg closeda full $2 down
from last week and Montreal
was an exception here also, go-
ing 50c to $1 higher. Bulls held
steady to strong and gained
25-50c at Calgary.

BEEF CATTLE
OUTLOOK FOR 1956
(Excerpt from Can. Cattlemen)

The Canadian cattle situation
is healthy. Our cattle population
this year, although three percent
higher than last year, appears to
be stable. Home consumption
has increased and exports haye
been markedly reduced. Steer
prices In 1955 have just about
paralleled those in 1964
slightly higher in the first halt,
and slightly lower during the
last half. Total marketings have
been about three per cent high-
er and domestic disappearance
has been just about the same.
The number of cattle returned
to feedlots has increased for all
of Canada by nine per cent and
in western Canada, probably be-
cause of the wheat situation, by
20 per cent.

Supplies for the first half of
this year will be large and prices
may soften a bit. Increased pork
production undoubtedly will
compete with beef. By fall, how-
ever, the heavy run of feedlot
cattle will have been marketed
and the American market may
rise sufficiently to-make export
to that country profitable and
so act as a support to the Can-
adian market.

In summary, then, we can
expect (1) a continued higher-
than-average supply of red and
