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 • Jayco Trailers • Sbnkamper Trailers • Chrysler Marine • Sportspal Canoes "Check Our Prices Before You Buy" MOORE'S Trailer Mart Ltd. 377 Huron Street Stratford - 273-1850 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 Charolais and 818 Simmentals.

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.

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. ea won the title from fiftyloh Emanuel LaSiter, * Gonne porary that the mere style was like crystal; clear water.,,So too.

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."
