aiamiltone Ont., a new Ww isotope. department of St. Joseph's
hospital is Canada’s best-equipped clinical laboratory ior caste:

i The clinic will specialize in blood and tumor
in which radioactive isotopes are particularly effective
in diagnosis. Here, Bill Burns demonstrates how one oi the
laboratory machines function as he nolds a radioactivity detector
to Gwen La Clair. When isotopes are admitted to the bood
stream they concentrate at the site of tumors. which can then
be pinpointed and treated.

U.S. GENERAL

On paper, it sppesrs that the
market for fat.cattie was trying
to run away and hide this week,
It was a good market and there
were some sharp upturns—bu:
at the same time there were
spots where prices were actually
lower. At best, it was a very
‘uneven, set of markets, but
quotations are closing mostly
steady to higher.

Here is an example of how
uneven the trade was. At mid-
week, tle St. Joe market r
ported a break of 25¢ to 50c on
most ojferings~ of slaughter
heiters, steady prices on some
steers and gains of 25¢ and
more on still others. Chicago
reported gains of 1.00 or more
on some slaughter steers, and

little. more than strong prices
on others. In the far west,
most quotations ranged from

strong to 50¢ higher, with the
trade well supported by scarcity
of offerings.

The unevenness was due
largely to weather conditions.

Below zero temperatures were
the rule over most of the mid-

west, and this tended to curtail
marketward movement. The far
east was buried in the deepest
snow in several seasons. Many
carg of live cattle that were on
the move to the east coast wer:
stranded in -snowdrifts, and
packer coolers were all bu
empty. This false scarcity
forced prices on fresh meats
higher and, naturally, was
reflected in some branches of the
cattle trade.
