THE
In Canada, one of' the world's great agri-
cultural countries, it is ironic that there
could be a : shortage of milk.,
One of the main reasons for this is that .
each year an average of 10,000 dairy fanners
are leaving the ` business;
Despite increasedefficiency, high costs of
operation, equipment and feed are forcing.
dairy farmers out of business. Nearly all.
farm expenses have increased " while thee
price of dairy foods has remained fairly
constant.
There is a serious shortage of farm labour.
More and more farm workers are attracted
to other industries where they can work
fewer hours for more pay.
If dairy farmers continue to leave the busi-
. ness at the current rate, there could be a
serious shortage of 'vital dairy foods in
Canada. The dairy industry is important. to
Canada's economic and nutritional health.
.And dairy foods are still one of your best
f�od values. ,

London Free Press will note the
cartoon had great similarity to
the present feudover the home-
town of Paul Henderson." Several
have drawn the cartoon to our
attention. - We found the cartoon
pasted on our door when we came
to work Monday andsigned by "an
admirer of the fence painters".
Another letter, with a clipping
of the cartoon;. arrived in our mail
Monday but: the writer .wished to
use a pen name. The, letter read:
