But I really need, a truck: Datsun announc¢s- the hOw.SpOrttuck All you really need is a new Datsun Sportruck. It's still North America's number one imported pickup. Only more so now. • Up front, there's an all-new cab with crisp GT styling. Inside, a cushy, angled seat that's as comfortable as sin. With two inches more stretch space for leggy types. And a sexy instrument panel that looks like it was stolen from our 240-Z. (It was). Take comfort, too, in a slightly longer wheelbase and new cab mounting for sedan-like smoothness. filus an improved, high capacity heater and floVv-through ventilation, But behind that pretty face, it's still a Datsun. Same rugged suspension. Same eager; rally-winning engine. Same quick gear-box, same big cargo box. Think of the possibilities. You can, haul fence posts to the back forty. Haul your camper to the lake. Haul your lady to the dance. All in the same sweet rig. Datsun Sportruck. It's all you really need. Datsun is all you really need.

(Bud) Olson has announced a Pro- gram to remove excess hens from the Canadian laying flock in order to reduce the surplus of eggs that is now disrupting' marketing channels. Egg producers normally mar- ket about 250,000 laying hens a week. Under this program, the fed- eral government will make a pay- ment to producers to increase fowl marketings by one million birds within an eight-week period. ' The assistance rate will be higher if the -target- of one 'mil- lion is reached before eight weeks. "We have built in a sliding scale, to encourage maximum re- moval of surplus birds within the shortest possible time," Mr. Olson said. Under this formula, if the target is reached within six weeks, farmers will receive ap- proximately 90 cents per bird marketed. If the target takes eight weeks to reach; the pay- ment would be about 75 cents per bird. " If the program falls short of the one-million-bird target, the assistance will 'be less. For example, if only 500,000 extra birds are slaughtered during the eight-week period, the sub- sidy will be about 45 cents a bird. The program will be effect- ive from June 5. For several months, Mr. Olson has been promising the industry financial assistance' would be offered when all the Provinces indicate agreement to move forward with a program that would better equate supply with demand and which would involve no interference in move- ment of product between prov- inces. An essential part of the pro- gram will be that the provinces will indicate to individual prod- ucers what flock adjustments they need to make, or provide a basis on which individual producers can • estimate necessary flock adjust- ments. Mr. Olson stated that the program was designed to stim- ulate rapid adjustment in fowl numbers thus providing indirect and immediate benefits through price increase's to those produc- ers and areas that do not need to adjust fowl holdings while at the same time providing direct assistance to those that need to make adjustments. Be said that after cQnsulta,- , tiop with producer reKenei4ar tines from the provinces there was wide agreement that such a Program coupled with commit- ments in respect of supply control by the provinces will provide immediate and sustained Stre4th to the egg market in Canada. He stressed that participa- tion and cooperation by all con- cerned is important forlhe suc- cess of the program if it is to correct the supply-demand im- balance that has plagued the ind- ustry for some time. He noted that producer organizations -aerogs- Canada. have- seta .target date of November 1 for the est- ablishment of a national egg marketing agency and are work- ing diligently towards that end.. To receive assistance under the federal- government' s subsidy program, producers will require proof of sale to a registered poultry processing plant or a recognized certificate of dis- posal. Full 'details of the program, including the method.' of claini- ing, will be sent to the industry immediately. In themeantime, producers should retain all re-' ceipts showing disposition of fowl removed, he said.
