Thursday, September 10, 1959 THE WILLIAMS LAKE TRIBUNE Page 5 Here are some of the finished products of George Renner’s hobby of cutting and polishing rocks. These pieces of jewellery are made from stones like the one in the foreground and top right of the picture. Most of these come from local rocks, some of which can be found near Williams Lake. Jewellery from rocks fascinating hobby of former editor There is little apparent connection between geology, ranching and publishing, but a look into the past of George Renner shows that he has suc- cessfully followed all three during his years in the Cariboo, two as vocations and one as a hobby. a ES Mr. enner came to this country 47 years ago and Alan Ladd stars |o.ricnce sor oe : i fil cotin.

If a_ person knows what to look for they could pick up almost any rock on the trail and read the story of this part of the country. I will have to go back and try to find some more good rocks to work on.” And so a hobby is pursued. NORMAN H. FOX, B.Sc., 0.0.

Entitled “A Steak in the Future,” it has been prepared under guidance of Dr. B. Stringam, professor man, Division of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Univer- sity of Manitoba, and with the assistance of other livestock authorities across Canada. The major factor leading to success is proper management, the book emphasizes. It de- scribes eight key points in a sound “management program, including selection of good foundation stock, adopting proper methods of culling and maintaining complete records. Commenting on foundation stock, the booklet states that while beef type and quality are important, thrift and health are paramount. Local farm dis- persal or surplus sales, private and community auctions, and the public stockyards are all good sources of foundation stock. . Copies of the new booklet are obtainable at any branch of The Canadian Bank of Com- merce in Canada. Tire Trouble ?
