An urgent appeal for more help
has gone out from leaders of Hen-
• sall Wolf Cub Pack and anyone
who might be interested is asked
to get in touch with eitherBill
Fink or Jack Lavender. The Pack
has grown to the point where
more leaders are necessary, if the
Cubs are to get all through their
work, a spokesman for the group
said.
• Meetings are presently held on
Thursday evenings, but the night
could be changed, if necessary,
Mr. Lavender explained. "We would
like to have at least one more
assistant, but two would actually
be better," he said, and pointed
out that the Wolf Cub Empire is
not necessarily restricted to males.
"If any of the Cub mothers would
like to give a hand with the lead-
ership they would be only too
welcome."

Figures Disclose
One Horse To Farm
"Look, there's a horse!"
In this age, that is a fairly na-
turaI exclamation on seeing one
of these noble animals in the
country.
Recent estimates by Canada De-
partment of Agriculture econom-
ists show there is now about one
horse to a farm'in Canada where,
40 years ago, the ratio was five
to a farm.
The number of horses fell from
a peak of 3,450,000 in 1921 to about
570,000 in 1960. That is also about
the number of tractors' on farms.
As the horse was displaced by
the tractor, the farmer's chores
decreased and grain and pasture
became available for other live-
stock.
It has been estimated that the
acreage of oats and tame hay re-
leased by the decline in horse pop-
ulation over the last 30 years is
6.7 millions and, if pasture is in-
cluded, the land made available
in this way for other uses amounts
to 10 million improved acres.
The Royal Commission on Can-
ada's Economic Prospects con-
cluded that between 1941 and 1955
some five million acres of land
were freed for other uses through
the replacement of horses by trac-
tors, but added that in the next
25 years no more than two million
acres of improved land could be
freed in this way.
Despite a 21/2 million drop in
the number of horses between 1929
and 1959, there was an increase
of 11.8 per cent in total animal un-
its in that period. Grain -consum-
ing animals were up 12.7 per cent
but hay eaters were down 1.5 per
cent. The larger number of cattle
on farms has not entirely absorb-
ed the forage production formerly
consumed by greater numbers of
horses and sheep.
Horse numbers first climbed ov-
er the three million mark- in 1915.
In 1933 they dropped below three
million; in 1947 below two million
and in 1954 below one million. In
1959 the horse population was lo-
cated Mainly in the prairies -312,-
000 head; central provinces 240,-
000, Atlantic provinces 39,000, and
British Columbia 23,000.
The 1956 census reported 19,500
horses elsewhere than on farms,
which would include racing stock
and officials think that this figure
has not declined, The several thou-
sand wird horses and ponies in
Canada are not recorded in the
census.
of Time and Talents was present-
ed by the following ladies: Mrs.
C. Boyd, Mrs. G. McNichol, Mrs.
R. Wildfong, Mrs. E. Beuerman
and Mrs. L. Leeming.
Good used clothing for the bale
is to be brought to the June meet-
ing; Mrs. William Dennis is to
help Mrs. Stimore pack the bale.
Some of the supply work (scarfs
and knitting) was brought in. Pro-
ceeds of the Easter Thankoffering
were $38.69. A hymn was sung
and the benediction was pronounc-
ed.
Mrs, William Dennis presided
for the WA meeting. The minutes
of the last two meetings were
read and approved and the roll
call was answered by 16 members;
11 visitors were present. Some
correspondence was read. A dona-
tion of $35 was voted to the Mis-
sionary and Maintenance Fund.
The coppers for the contest are to
be brought "to the June meeting.
The Red Cross sewing 'is to be
brought in as soon as possible.
The June meeting is to be held at
the home of Mrs. Ed. Regele. It
was decided to scrub the church
on Wednesday, May 31. A hymn
was sung and the meeting closed
with prayer.
A bake sale was held at the
close of the meeting, and lunch
was served.
