Stare, began, Canadians have im-
ported ,3,884 exotic cattle from
Europe. The cattle can only come
from countries where disease -
mainly the dread foot-and-mouth
disease -- is not a problem and
adequate control measures are in
effect. Even then, the veterinari-
`mins of the Health of Animals
Branch insist on testing the cattle
in Europe before they are
boarded onto ships bound for
Canada.
A further battery of tests is run
at Grosse Isle, just 30 miles down
the St. Lawrence River from
Quebec City, and at St. Pierre, a
French -owned island off the
southern coast of Newfoundland.
Canadian beef breeders believe
the exotic strains of cattle have
so much to offer .in upgrading our
national beef herd that there is
strong competition for the limited
' space in the shipments.
The space is allocated under an
import permit system. Import
permits are .required for the
importation of animals from all
countries - except the United
States.
Officials of the department of
agriculture admit that it takes
the wisdom of Solomon to decide
who should receive an import
permit, and who should be asked
to wait and try again. They have
looked at every possible system
of alting the permits., •
They lave thought of drawing
the names out of a hat. They have
thought of holding 'a national
lottery. They have thought of
selling the permits on the open
market,'and allowing supply and
demand to set a price tag on the
right to import attle.
All of these choices haye been
discarded, mainly because Cana-
da would not have any assurance
that the animals imported under
those systems would make the
maximum contribution to the im-
provement of the nation's beef
'industry.
Instead, the permits „are :allo-
cated by careful study of propo-
sals the hopeful importers submit
to a panel of geneticists.
Anyone who'wishes to apply for
an- import permit is required to
submit a, project outline which
basically . asks him what he pro-
poses to do with the animals that
are imported.
These project outlines, stripped
of any reference to the individual
who has submitted the. applica-
tion, are sent to the panel of

geneticists who are asked to
evaluate them strictly on the
basis of their estimate of how
much the particular project
would contribute to the improve-
ment of livestock in Canada.
Depending on the number of
requests received, and the
number of applications that fall
into different categories, these
people are allocated permits.
The normal procedure has been
that the people who have the
more impressive qualifications
each get a permit granting them
the right to import up to four ani-
mals; applicants with lower qua-
lifications are authorized to im-
port fewer animals. The commit-
tee of geneticists also recom-
mends how many cattle one
applicant should be allowed to
import.
An applicant is interviewed by
an officer of the department to
check the statement he has made
on his application form about
actually having facilities and
cattle.
If a repeat applicant has not
followed the plans he has sub-
mitted in previous years, this is
reported to the panel of geneti-
cists and enters into their
consideration of his application.
Between April 1966 and Sep-
tember 1973, 3,884 head of Charo-
lais and Simmentals, thg most
popular exotic imports, were im-
ported. Of these, 1,697 were

CHESS TIME
Style
grows
with age
By JOSEPH MILL BROWN
Nothing can last forever, as
almost everyone knows, but in
the world of chess you often
get the feeling it's possible.
For instance:
Business being what it is
these days, nobody was sur-
prised that the owner of a ho-
tel housing the annual tourna-
ment at Palma de Mallorca,
Spain, no longer considered it
an honor to go on losing mon-
ey. He sold the hotel, and with
it went the tournament. But
Madrid's plush Castellana
Hotel was eager and ready.
Result: one of the strongest
tournaments of 1973.
Eleven of the players were
under 30, including the win-
ner, Russia's golden boy,
Anatoly Karpov. But the most.
exciting performance came
from the oldest contestant, 53 -
year -old Semyon Furman, of
the USSR.
Furman is not a big scorer.
It may, however, have been
the scent of young blood, or
' the necessity of age to prove
its capacity for renewal.
Whatever, Furman finished
only a point behind Karpov,
but he also won the prize for
the best attacking combina-
tion ( see. game below), which
everyone knows old men are
not supposed to win.
What Furman's perfor-
mance reminds us of is that'
style, not age, is still the es-
sence of man. One who had it
in abundance was the. hyper-
modern Saviely Tartakower,
a great and colorful player
right up to his death at age 69,
.His abrasive personality
brought him detractors ga-
lore, who tried to denigrate
his achievements. Tar-
takower bore them with bitter
resignation.
"I fight as hard as I can in
tournaments, capture first
prizes from time to time, and
always strive to rejuvenate
my style; for, in my opinion,
in this resides one of the prin-
cipal conditions of success in
games:"
Oddly enough, the theme of
rejuvenation of style. is more
prevalent in chess among the
elders; timidity and caution
seem . the province of the
young. When Jose Capablan-

Dear K.K.:
Your action line Is faulty.
You have plenty of desire
and you know what you want
to do, seen in your firm t
crossings, but you're caught
up in a world of intentions,
hopes and desires, seen in the
placement of the crossing
above the stem, You want to
be someone important, seen
in the large beginning loop on
capital I, and you want to be
noticed, seen in the circle i
dot.
Your desire to write is for
real. and you have the ability
to do it, seen in the rhythm of
your writing, the greek e's
and other stroes not shown
above.
You spend so much time
building your life around the
details of a schedule, seen in
your carefully balanced f. A
schedule is fine and neces-
sary, but has little purpose, if
you don't do .sorriething with
it. Your visions of being a fic-
tion writer far outweigh that
good old down-to-earth action
- the only way to turn
dreams into reality.
That downstroke is your
shortstop. It's your action
stroke! If it doesn't move, nei-
ther do you.
You give up easily when-
ever stumbling blacks get in
your way. You have to push
through all the obstacles to be
a winner.
Planning, dr6arning, and
scheduling are all important
in anyone's way of life - but
no one has ever gone any-
where without bending his
'lack to the grindstone.
By RUTH STAFFORD
PEALE '
When sickness comes into'
your family, what do you do?
Of course you call your doctor
and you put, your trust in him.
And then you pray for the
siek person and do everything
you can -to help.
But there is one more thing
-have faith that the sick per-
son will get well.
"And the prayer of faith
shall save the sick, and the
Lord shall raise him up; and if
he have committed sins, they
shall be forgiven him." -
James 5:15.

Saviely Tartakower spent
his life rejuvenating his style
in more things than just
chess. Born in' Russia of par-
ents who died in a pogrom, he
moved to Austria and served
as an infantry officer in World
War I. He was a lawyer, a
poet, a philosopher, and a
pathological gambler.
Later he became a French
citizen. He was,in his fifties at
the outbreak of World War II,
but enlisted in the fighting -
forces of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle. Above all else,
though, he was a chess profes-
sional, lending strength to
E. M. Forster's theory that
"chess, which severely elimi-
nates accidents, is a forcing
house where the fruits of
character can ripen more
fully than in life."
