Tannery scraps and old her can be processed as 1111al feed," says Hugh Jeffers, ad of Agriculture Canada's ulatory Livestock Feed Unit. 'Cattle can eat these processed stes and convert them into ak without changing the meat nd leather isn't the only seal feed being suggested for stock these days. There are o leftovers from bakeries, stes from industrial kitchens, uents from pulp and paper its, animal manure and many products of industrial refining. 'It's understandable that there e pressures to use these things animal feed," Dr. Jeffers says. o meet world food demands, must make fuller use of ources which might otherwise environmental problems. 'Animals compete with man food. Humans can eat grain etly for food, while cattle and er ruminants can use food ources which would be possible for us to digest." However, as Dr. Jeffers utions, before using certain ustrial and animal wastes as gredients in livestock feeds, we ist be absolutely certain they II be safe -- both for the animals d for the people who will entually buy steak in the permarket. That's why the federal ernment restricts the livestock eds allowed on the market. -7- "Every mixed feed sold in nada, except tonics and ditioners, must be registered the federal government," Dr. fees explains. '"And all gredients for animal feeds must approved." A customer-formula feed cifically ordered by a farmer es not have to be registered but must contain only approved redients and must conform to other requirements of istered mixed feeds. 'Another exception to the istration rule for feeds is dicated feed prescribed by a terinarian." Before accepting any new bstance for sale as a livestock d or ingredient, Dr. Jeffers dhis colleagues in the feed unit eck it very closely. When applicable, they study e feedstuff's use iii other entries.

David B. Ragg, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Huron, who was in. Brussels last week for special services at St. Johns. Church, has been chosen by the Primate of All Canada, the Most Reverend Edward W . Scott, to attend the World Food Conference to be held in Rome from November 5 to 16. Last May the Bishop, in his Charge to the Synod of Huron, focused attention on the increasing abase of prime farm lrld in Western Ontario. "The day could come." he said , "when we, an agricultural area, will be seeking food, if we continue to let the farming lands disappear on any conceivable excuse at all -- be it highway. sprawling subdivisions, or corridors for hydro power lines. As Christians, we must have a concern for the right use of all our resources." His statements roused considerable response from both government and individuals. The Conference in Rome is being called to discuss the desperate fOod crisis taht is facing the whole world. Supplies, methods of agriculture, and the development of new methods in emerging countries, will be among the topics to be considered. "It is a situation", Bishop Ragg said, "that must involve the co-operation of the whole world. As a leading agricultural country, Canada must give a strong lead in this whole matter." Bishop Ragg is one of five Canadians representing non- Government organizations at the Conference. Oa 33 an 0 G 1 2 13 14 /7 15' 21 ding Club, torts season.

He missed a lot of school, because he kept hav- ing operations on his back for something. But he kept his , grades up, and somehow he managed to be one of our best athletes too. I remember the one track meet. His long, wiry legs stretching for every inch of -track, Joe came flying down the hundred yards and won. We were all happy for him. There weren't many parents in the stands at those events. Most of them had to work. But Joe's parents were there. They came to congra- tulate him. And, to our surprise, they were crying. One year later, Joe was dead: All thoSe operations were for cancer. Of the spine. That's why Joe's parents were crying. Be- cause they knew. I wonder what kind of-courage they needed when Joe told them he was trying out for the school football team. I wonder how they felt to watch him wheel lithely past one opponent, only to be brought down by another's thundering tackle. Years later, another father whose son in- herited an incurable illness told me: "Most of the pain isn't giving up the child, you know . . . it's giving up your expectations for him. You keep thinking of what he could become. So you try to protect him against what could happen to him, for the .sake of your hopes for his future. It's funny - until we realized that he could die, we couldn't let him live." Jesus said things like that too, puzzling things, like learning to live each day as if there were no tomorrow, 'and giving up your life so that you could have it. They make more sense when I think of Joe. He lived with his own death within him. His parents gave up their expectations for his life, and let him live each day as if tomorrow would come anyway. One day, it didn't. But Joe had a good life. Joe was happy. Joe was loved. We used to think, "Poor Joe". We should have learned something from him and his parents.
