A request from John Stringer, prin- cipal of the Goderich and District Collegiate Institute, for the board to provide additional losker space at G.D.C.J. was referred to the Budget Committee with power to act. In his letter Mr. Stringer noted that over 200 students would be sharing lockers in the fall term.

The Boundary Committee pointed out that Vanagra PuRtis attend Clinton Public School, causing overcrowded conditions but Hensel' and Zurich. schools have been experiencing a• decrease in enrolment over the past few, years. This has made space available for more pupils. The Boundary Committee said it had considered various ways of relieving the situation but felt that the most logical method would be to send some or all of the Vanastra pupils to Huron Centennial Public School at Brucefield and to change the boundary in the south part of Tuckersmith and Stanley Townships so that pupils in that area would attend Hensall or Zurich schools. The ratepayers' meeting has been called to present the proposal to the parents and to answer any questions . which might arise. Beefmen are bearing burden of inflation By Wilma Oke "Inflation is being fought on the backs of the beef producers more than any other group," Charles A. Gracey, Toronto, manager of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, told a group of 176 beef producers at awin- formation meeting held at the Pine Ridge Chalet at Hensall Wednesday night (Sept. 1) Mr. Gracey said the federal government is quite content to let them carry more than their fair share in the battle against inflation, and "there is little interest in Ottawa in letting you off the hook", He cited the information that low beef prices have vt, Amin mentioned,repeatedleas a major factor in the decline in the consumer price index. Mr. Gracey stated a number of unpredictable factors have fouled up the cattle market this year. He outlined the main reasons: the massive increases in imports from off -shore of low priced beef - 58 percent in- crease over last year. He asked, "Why should Canada be the only dumping ground for beef when we have a tremendous surplus our- selves?" Continuing Mr. Gracey said, "One of the biggest factors that has hurt you has been the high retain mark- ups in the United States which have depressed .

Mr. Gracey said the surplus of beef in Canada is mainly caused by the high rate of heifer and cow marketing which was high last year and this year again is exceeding all expectations with ,keifer kill 15 percent above last year and cow kill 18 percent above, "It goes without saying, of course, that if we weren't marketing so many heifers and cows, our domestic prices would have been stronger." He explained the main cause of the increased numbers is the poor return in the co -calf sector that bas lecLt to. tiFtw.veryiiheavy heifer and cow marketings. Mr. Gracey critized those.. farmers who hold cattle beyond acceptable market weights to increase the dollar value. He ' said, "especially when we have an oversupply of beef these animals should go to market as soon as ready". Mr. Gracey said the on again, off again, federal dairy policy has been a minor factor in increasing cow marketings but that it has softened recently. He warned that if the dairy surplus problem is not solved, and he strongly suggested that it has not, then the dairy cow marketings would increase. causing a major problem. In conclusion, Mr. Gracey said that after all the bad news is in, he predicted that the industry fundamentals are changing and that reduced breeding herds in both Canada and United States give some_promise of strong price recovery in 1978. He cautioned producers to be caieful about their plans for 1977 because it is expected there will continue to be very heavy marked supplies.

Heard, London, Farm Management specialist of the ministry of agriculture, 'with the topic "Can You Afford Not to Hedge Your Cattle'?" which refers to ging and ftitia* stock 'tiarkets which some people are rising as a way of making money.
