Graeme Hedley, Toronto, noted that the responsibility for in- suring cattle in transit rests with the owner except where the trucker has insurance for delivery to the specified point of delivery or notifies his insurance company of the pickup and delivery point. However, many truckers do not carry other than liability in- surance which is generally in- sufficient to compensate for the loss of a load of cattle. Hedley also pointed out that new equipment capable of testing for minute traces of residues diethylstilbestrol in meat has been installed by the Food and Clare Ruf fell of Richardson By MRS.

Dr. Dick Roelofson, Exeter veterinarian, advocated better service for the beef producers by the railways.
