Principals Discuss
Testing Problems

School principals of the Cari-
boo-Thompson area gave con-
siderable attention to classroom
tests and to the recording and
reporting of pupil achievement
in a weekend conference held
at Ashcroft January 20 and 21.

The gathering was a regular
meeting of the Cariboo Admin-
istrators’ Council in which prin-
cipals and vice-principals of
seven districts, together with
school inspectors of the area as
consultants, meet for study and
exchange of views.

School districts are: Barriere,
Birch Island, Kamloops, Lillooet,
Merritt, South Cariboo, and Wil-
Mams Lake.

Meetings were under the gen-
eral chairmanship of A. Kutzner
of Ashcroft with R. K. Bell and
N. G. Duclos of Kamloops, and
0. A. Kerley of Williams Lake
leading topic discussions.

India, a growing threat in the
world textile market, has a low-
er textile wage scale than Japan,
generally felt to be the lowest
in the world.

SUMMARY

All across Canada for
week ending January 21st:

Seattered gains of 50 or more
on light receipts of slaughter
steers and heifers in Manitoba
and Saskatchewan were out-
weighed by price losses of simi-
lar amounts at Toronto, Mont-
real and Saskatchewan markets
in the past»week. Low grade
steers, heavy helfers and cows
were the most affected by the
declines. -Replacement cattle
were only steady to 50c¢ lower
on some sales. Hogs gained 75¢
to $1 in Alberta, were steady

the

,elsewhere and calves and lambs
were mainly unchanged.

Slaughter cattle deliveries to
the eleven public stockyards
amounting to 26,000 head were
2,000 below last week and the
same as in the corresponding
week last year. All of this week's
decline in receipts occurred in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The week's run was generally
plain in quality, containing tew
good and choice steers and heif-
ers and a, large proportion of
female stock, ‘especially cows.

Following no common pattern,
cattle markets in the past week
showed both gains and losses.
Any gains made were at Winni-
peg and Saskatchewan markets
and were dictated solely by the
reduced offerings at those out-
lets, an aftermath of the most
recent storms over ‘the prairie:
The advance consisted mainly of
50c to $1 on steers and 50c on
heifers at Winnipeg and 50c on
steers in Saskatchewan. Declines
included 50¢ on Montreal steers
and cows and 50¢ to $1 on heavy
heifers and cows at Toronto.
Generous offerings for the sea-
son at Alberta terminals were
due to a scarcity of roughage in
some areas on account of the
prolonged cold and stormy Wea-
ther, and heifers and cows were
off a general 50c or more.
“EAT “B.C. BEEF"
CAMPAIGN

During the fall last year the
B.C. Beef Cattle Growers Asso-
ciation—of which organization
the C.C.A, is a member—under-
took an advertising campaign to
to encourage consumption of
B.C. Beef.

It was apparent that the ad-
vertising and sales policy per-
sued by the larger meat retailers
in Vancouver and other principal
centres had encouraged public
to disregard the nutritive and
other values of grass fed beef.
And since the cattle producers
of this province normally mar-
ket grass fed beef, it was neces-
sary that the public be informed
by means of advertising of the
nutritive value of grass fed beef.

A considerable amount of
money was spent on newspaper
and radio advertising, together
with special posters in retail

LAC LA HACHE

40 Below Weather
Closes School

School was closed on Monday
when the temperature dropped
to 40 below zero during the
night. It was quite a change
from the mild weather of last
weekend.

THE HOCKEY GAME on ‘Sun-
day between Clinton and Lac La
Hache was cancelled as some of
the Clinton players were unable
to come.

The married men played the
single men on Saturday night.
The married men. won by a score
of 7-6. On Sunday afternoon
they went at it again with the
score a tie 10-10.

FATHER NAPHIN held mass
here on Sunday. Everyone was
glad to see him again as he is

stores, and material was supplied
to the editors of the household
departments of the Vancouver
newspapers.

It was evident that the money
was well spent, and all but one
of the larger meat retailers had
co-operated in the campaign.

It is the intention of the B.C.
Beet Cattle Growers. Association
to continue with campaigns of
this nature, during the period
of the year when the majority
of the cattle are marketed in
B.C.
