I signed a contract with this firm to have webs of hair weaved into my own and styled anyway that I liked for a total cost of $1500. They agreed to.take 1/2 down and the rest on post dated cheques, ( which I've since stopped.) I must admit that I had been doing some drinking when I signed this contract and I know they took advantage of me but anyway I couldn't stand going around with metal clips on my head and a hairpiece tied to the clips so I had this whole mess removed and went back and presented it to this firm. I told them that they could have something for their trouble but they were not interested and claim they will sue me for the balance. A spokesman for this firm was very polite but very adamant when he informed us that they had kept their part of the contract and that they expected this client to do the same.

We had to borrow money to have our car repaired after it was badly damaged in a hit and run acci- dent because the owner of the other car carried no in- surance. There's no collision insurance on our car so we have to depend on a settlement from the Motor Vehicles Accident Claims Fund. They did send out an appraiser quite prompt- ly but so far there's been no sign of any money and we've had to go "in the hole" to get our car back on the road, plus time lost from work, towing and phone calls. This has been going on now since last June, so any suggestions you can offer to help speed things up will be appreciated. Part of the delay was due to the fact that the application to the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund was not complete, but since that missing information concerning the uninsured driver has now been received, on early settlement cheque should be issued in the very near future.

While my previous official responsibilities as Ontario Minister of Agriculture & Food always involved me in some ac- tivities of the "Royal", I never really had the time to sit down on a bale of straw to chat with livestock show people about their interests and concerns in this great agricultural food industry, The beef breeding and market classes indicate a trend to longer, leaner, higher beef animals with light or shallow heart girth. I recall as a Jr. Farmer being coached for judg- ing competitions, we were ad- vised to place great importance on animals with great depth of heart girth coupled with substan- tial spring of rib. The purpose of such conformation being to provide not only a strong physical constitution but a place for the animal to store roughage used to produce beef or milk. The low grain prices of the late 60's and early 70's encouraged almost total grain feeding of beef, certainly in Western Canada and in much of the U.S.A. The result was too often overfinished, wasty cattle car- casses which the packer or meat counter butcher had to trim before offering to the consumer, However, the cattle themselves produced a very high dressing percentage because of the com- paratively light, straight middles due to lack of roughage not re- quired because of heavy grain feeding. New Federal meat grading regulations have fortunately dis- couraged the production of ex- cessively overfinished and wasty beef carcasses. But the light middled cattle seem to be still winning the top awards in many of the market cattle and indeed breeding classes as well. This may be acceptable for those who still feed substantial quantities of grain. However, the commercial feedlot operator, particularly in Ontario, where corn silage can be so efficiently produced, needs a feeder calf or yearling with sufficient "bread- basket" capacity to use high quantities of roughage to produce acceptable daily gains without using today's com- paratively high-priced feed grains. I sincerely hope strong grain prices are here to stay, particularly considering the high cost of producing grain in today's economy. Several cattlemen with whom I discussed this concern feel the pendulum to the shallower heart girth cattle has gone too far, and must, because of economic necessity, swing back to the breeding and feeder beef animal with greater roughage capacity. Fortunately strong bone, length of body, particularly loin and hind quarters, seem to characterize many of today's modern beef breeding animals to a much greater degree than a few years ago. Purebred breeders, without whom the commercial industry could not successfully survive, have recognized the necessity to change. Those who have done so have contributed greatly to an improved beef type animal, Performance testing, under Government supervision, in- dicating rate of gain on feed has also made it possible for com- mercial breeders to learn more about prospective breeder purchases than the usual "eye- balling" methods of a few years ago. This year's beef, hog and lamb carcass displays were of excellent quality and reflect the acceptance of the new Canadian meat carcass grading regulations. Consumers could benefit usefully from observing the sides of beef, pork, and lamb on dis- play appropriately indicating the location on the carcass of the various cuts advertised in food stores. The degree of fat-to-lean marbling necessary for flavour- ful meat was displayed for any consumer to see, The OBIA (Ontario Beef Im- provement Association) had an excellent consumer educational exhibit with knowledgeable sold to Canadian Abattoir, steer, which was also the Cham- over all other entries.
