--For-their-February, ..offerin
and the one to be adjudicated
for the Western Ontario Drama
Festival, Marjorie Macfie will
direct "The Glass Menagerie,"
the . play responsible'" for high
honors for Tennessee Williams,
A poignant, tender story depict-
ing inner conflict and strife of
a yoking girl, this drama set in
modern times also enjoyed a
lengthy run on Broadway and
has been a favorite for many
Little 'Theatre studies.
The third play of the year
is, to be a riotous comedy "See
HHw They Run,'- which. is being
heralded as the laugh -hit of
the year. Virginia Lodge, who
will direct this play to be shown
in April, has already started
basic preparation.
Following the pattern of the
membership drive last ,year,
there _wild be no tickets ' sold
for 'any one single performance;
one's membership will admit
him to all three plays as well
as any other Little Theatre
functions during the year.
Whereas last year the three
plays were all period- produc-
tions, this . year music, drama
and comedy are all being offer-
ed. Prior to each play, a cen-
tral box office will open on the
Square where memberships are
to be exchanged for reserved
seats. The evening& of all three
performances, will be Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, and
all will be played at MacKay
Hall, the home of our Little
Theatre.
Full information regarding
this membership drive will be
.sent to each householder
through the mail; everyone is
urged to take these letters
home with them for future re-
ference. As last year, team
captains will make personal con-
tact with subscribers, and when
the score has reached just over
600, the campaign will have to
close. Last season we had well

LIVESTOCK, IN DOMINION_
'OUTNUMBERS CANADIANS.
There are more cattle, hogs
and sheep in Canada than peo-
ple according to a survey re-
cently completed by Ralph K.
• Ae444,e't$,,; .hoof; oi` itbe 1144 r iSi .c..
di
smb- l.estack 'iso
ion; icanado, .,Department of
Agriculture.
His report placed the human
population on March ' 1, 1961,
at 18,085,000 •and the livestock
population at June 1, 1961, at
19,711,000. This was made up
of 12,116,000 cattle, 5,8119;000
hogs and 1,706,000 sheep.
Although Eastern Canada pro-
vides homes icor about 73 per
cent of the human population
it has only 47 per cent of the
country's cattle, 53 per cent of
the hogs and 44 per cent of the
sheep. This makes the east a
deficiency area for livestock
marketings, he states.,
Western . Canada has only
about 26 per cent of lie people
but about 52 per cent of the
cattle, 46 per cent of the hogs
and 55 per cent of the sheep.
This makes the west a surplus
area.
On June 1, 1961, the total
.number of cows for beef in
Canada was 3,084,000, of which
2,414,000, or 78 per cent were
in Western Canada.
"So," reports ` Mr. Bennett,
"with only ,26 per cent of the
people in the 'West they, have
78 per cent of the females kept
for beef purposes.' This adds
up to a very sizeable surplus
of beef production in Western
Canada -much more than in-
dicated' by the relationship be-
tween humans (26 per cent)
and the total cattle on farms
(53 per cent). .
"In . this, country," Mr. Ben-
nett adds, "livestock' marketing
is primarily a continuous move-
ment of cattle (or beef) and
hogs (or pork) from the surplus
area in Western Canada to the
deficiency area in Eastern Can-
ada,". The secondary •movement
involves international trade
particularly the export and im-
port business with the U.S.
Of the three prairie provinces,
Manitoba is much closer to be-
ing in balance than ' the other -
two, he said. The province has
five per cent of the human pop-
ulation and in 1960 -marketed a
little more than nine per cent,

producers in the province are
inclined to believe,, that "the -

nett, this just isn't the case.
