THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER

NANAIMO JOINS (CANLOG) GROUP

Nanaimo, the newest
member of the Canadian Log-
ger Sports’ Association
(CANLOG), officially kicks off
that organization’s fifth season
on Sunday, May 20.

CANLOG is a non-profit
association organized in 1968
as a subsidiary organization to
the Festival of Forestry. Both
groups are under the chair-
manship of Bill Moore of
Winter Harbor.

“In 1968 we realized that
loggers’ sports was going to
grow and we felt safety stan-
dards and continuity should be
brought into the program,”
Mr. Moore said. “‘With the co-
operation of established events
in places like Sooke and
Squamish we formed CANLOG
to sanction areas only when
certain standards were met.

“Two years ago the
Provincial Government recog-
nized our status, naming
loggers sports as the official
Industry Sport of B.C.

“And last year we were
delighted when Ontario and
Quebec came into our
organization and by 1974 we
hope to stage a truly Canadian
Championship in loggers’
sports,” Mr. Moore said.

CANLOG today consists of 11
B.C. centres who conduct
logger sport competitions. By
being a member of CANLOG,
each centre is eligible to hold
at least one -.sanctioned
Canadian championship event.

Highlight of the CANLOG
season is the Festival of

The Manitoba government
wants people to know the price
spread between what the
farmer gets and what the
consumer pays for food at the
supermarket.

According to Dr. J.M.
Cormack, Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, a great deal of
concern is being expressed
about recent food price in-
creases. The information being
released should show the
consumer what happens
between the farmer and the
supermarket shelf.

Surveys are being made of
prices at Dominion, Loblaw
and Safeway Stores. Producer
prices are obtained from
marketing boards and public
stockyards.

The first list made available
to the press showed 33 items,
including chicken drumsticks
for which the farmer received
35 cents a pound compared
with the retail price of 96
cents; 36 cents a pound live
weight for cattle ( choice steers

dress out at 57 percent of live
weight) while beef retailed at

84 cents to $1.49; 18 cents for a
quart of milk to the farmer,
selling for 34 cents retail to the
consumer, and so on.

The department proposes to
go one step further by
providing a breakdown of
production and processing
costs plus the product price
paid by the supermarkets.
