New CO-OP' Cattle
Mineral A
fights phosphorus
deficiency in
milking cows.
A shortage of phosphorus reduces milk
production. Too much Calcium in relation to
the Phosphorus has the same effect. That is why
Co-operative Research has developed new CO-OP
Cattle Mineral A. This formula contains Calcium
and Phosphorus in equal proportions ... the same
ratio found in milk itself . . to assure you of
maximum milk production. CO-OP Cattle Mineral
A also contains salt, iron, iodine and important
trace elements, plus vitamins A and D. Discuss the
advantages of CO-OP Cattle Mineral A with
your Co-operative feed specialist now.

Welfare Council Reports
On Canada's Rural Poor
OTTAWA-- Canada's rural
poor subsist in some areas on in-
comes as low as $11.'71 per per,
son per month, of which the en-
tire amount is made up of wel-
fare and family allowances, it
is revealed in a recent study
conducted by the Canadian Wel-
fare Council for the Agricultur-
al Rehabilitation and Develop-
ment Agency of the Canada De-
partment of Forestry.
Interviewed in the study was
a father whose total income
(from social assistance) is $164
a month, which has to do for
himself, his wife, and 12 de-
pendent children. This man, in
his fifties, disabled, and un-
able to work, sees little hope of
change.
The four areas studied were
Inverness county in Nova Scotia;
Gatineau, Papineau and Pontiac
counties in Quebec; Lanark
county in Ontario; and the In-
terlake region of Manitoba.
Average per capita monthly
income in the study families
was found to be the highest in
Lanark county, at $44. The
three Quebec counties came
next with $41; then Manitoba
with $36 and Inverness with $28.
Most of the families derive
their income from primary in-
dustries - such as farming, fish-
ing and woodcutting - and un-
skilled labour; the largest pro-
portion in Inverness and Quebec
counties are wage workers, and
in Lanark and Manitoba they
are self-employed. It was
found that incomes do not rise
with the size of the family, and
that the poor have much larger
families than the average. In
Inverness county, for example,
monthly income per family in
the study group has to be spread
over an average of 7.2 persons,
compared with 4.6 persons for
the county as a whole. In Que-
bec the figures are 7.3 and 4.5

Some appalling living con-
ditions were discovered in some
homes, but rarely, if ever, were
these conditions seen as the
cause or the symptom of moral
or social degradation. "If there
is a single conclusion to be
drawn from the present study,"
says David Woodsworth, "it is
that the poor are not degraded,
and that there is a great deal
that can be done to restore to
them a just share in the life of
the country."
The study team found that
the poor suffer from their isola-
tion on the one hand -- because
the systems that produce in-
come are controlled in the cit-
ies and towns and they do not
share in that control -- and
their inability to do anything
about their isolation on the oth-
er. They are torn between tra-
ditional patterns of employ-
ment and the necessity of mov-
ing out to take employment.
They are afraid to take the
chance; unable to raise the ca-
pital that would make their
farms truly productive; resigned
to remaining poor at home rath-
er than risk starving in the big
cities.
The poor were found to have
few memberships in organiza-
tions, other than the church.
Organized community life has
little reward for them. Distance
from the centre of activity and
lack of money are also deter-
rents to belonging to formal
groups. Visiting, weddings,
funerals and television are the
main diversions.
Almost all of the families
believe that education is im-
portant and want their children
to have the best. They are re-
signed to the fact that their
children must leave home, and
consider education an essential
to their competing elsewhere.
Most of the families find it
hard to get, or pay for, medi-
cal and dental care. Such ser-
vices are distant and expensive.

PRIZE WINNERS
AT L.O.L. DRAW
GORRIE-Nine tables were in
play at the L.O.L. euchre on
Wednesday night. Mrs. John
Baylor had high score for the
ladies, Burns Stewart for the
men and Mrs. Bruce Hayes won
the door prize.
The draw was made for the
ten pounds of beef, which was
won by Robt. Templeman and
for 50 pounds of sugar, won by
Wayne King.
Food Outlook
Onions; Supplies are plenti-
ful and the quality is good,.
Prices in )"astern Canada are
enough lower than last year's
to warrant special promotion of
onions as a cooked vegetable.
Pork: In response to strong
prices, more hogs are being
held back for breeding stock,
with consequent reduced current
marketings and continued firm
prices for the near future in
prospect.
Beef: Prices will continue
firm in the face of strongde-
mand.
