Successful feeders have found that year after
year it pays to use SHUR-GAIN Beefmaker
Concentrate-- because they get that extra
degree of finish that means extra profit.
For every eight bags of grain you have to
feed to your steers, try replacing one with
a bag of Beefmaker. The extra cost is
small but the resulting mixture really makes
a difference on the finish.

Rescue Operations
RCAF Work
Two JATO bottles, probably
saved the life of Michael Davis,
20 -year-old Department of Trans-
port weatherman, when the RCAF
Goose Bay Search and Rescue
Unit evacuated him last week
from a tiny ice strip at Resolution
Island, 500 miles north of Ottawa.
Unable to make a normal take-
off on the small, ice -stream strip
which is surrounded by 500 -foot
hills, the RCAF Dakota used
JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) to
shorten the take off run and climb
steeply to avoid the hills.
Davis today is resting comfort-
ably in the Goose Bay Hospital but
likely will be flown on to Montreal
for an operation. He is suffering
from a severe kidney ailment.
To reach the aircraft, Davis had
to be transported over a rough,
boulder strewn, three-mile path
from the weather station. He was
in obvious pain as RCAF crewmen
carefully loaded him aboard, the
Dakota.
This was the third attempt in
three days to reach Davis. The
aircraft flown by 'F/L Bob Turtle
of- North Battleford,-Saslt., and
S/L Ron West, DFC, AFC, of
Medford, N.S., the chief operations
officer at Goose Bay who acted as
co-pilot, made a. 1900 -mile round
trip flight in vain three days ago.
They battled through heavy wea-
ther only to find a landing im-
possible at Resolution Island.
Alternate landings were also im-
possible and they were forced to
fly back to Goose Bay where they
landed with only 30 minutes fuel
left in the tanks.
The second attempt was made
Tuesday even though weather re-
ports were pessimistic. Resolution
Bay- was still obscured by- low
cloud' but the aircraft was able to
make an alternate landing at Fro-
bisher) Bay.
Finally, with relatively good
weather, the aircraft made a suc-
cessful though hazardous landing
at Resolution Island to pick up the

being the anniversary of their
golden wedding. Residents of the
village for over 50 years, their
wedding was solemnized, at St.

as there were on the roads.
Mrs. Pfaff who is 73 was born
in Kitchener, daughter of the late -
Mr. and Mrs. L. Gaetz, who later
took up residence in Cranbrook.
Mr, Pfaff, 74, was born in Hills -
green, on of the late Mr, and
Mrs. Henry Pfaff.
Their family consists of one
son, Nelson, Hensall; three dau=
ghters, Mrs. Jack Neil (Kathleen),
Mrs. Helen Tebbutt, Mrs. Alvin

nine grandchildren and one great
grandchild. Five children died in

A family dinner was held at the
home of the celebrants on Sunday,
March 28 with members of the
family present, who presented
them with many lovely gifts. Tues-
day, Mr. and Mrs. Pfaff were at
home to their friends and neigh-
bours and the recipients of gifts,
congratulatory messages and flow-
ers.

call on all his experience to land
and take off from the tiny, but
treacherous landing strip.
Other members of the crew
were F/L Bob Baxter, the navi-

Ottawa, and LAC Bob MacDonald
of Theford River, N.S.
Meanwhile, the other remaining
rescue aircraft, an Otter, was busy
evacuating Albert Hanson from

Bay. He had burst an appendix.

witness the evacuation and while
.F/L Mary Deneau, station hospital
matron, supervised the loading of

comments were heard, from the
spectators.
One grizzled fisherman com-
mented: "In the old days a man -
who got sick just lied there and
either got better or died"
Even while these two missions
were underway, yet another plea
for help came in, this to evacuate
a man from Postville who had suf-
fered a broken leg. With both
aircraft busy, the RCAF turned
the case over to civilian bush pilot
Tom Watt who made a successful
flight to . bring him to hospital.

- What has been described as "the world's
toughest horse race' will be run again this
week—over fences, hedges, water ditches and
other hair-raising obstacles -thirty in all—
along a course of 'four miles and 856 yards.
The horses, six year olds and older, will carry
staggering weights..of 170 lbs.; and . more,
That's England's famous Grand National, mot
over the equally famous Aintree course, just outside Live L,
.poo
And there always are -strong-limbed, stout-hearted horses
available' in sufficient numbers to make the Grand National a
dramatic event, :despite the many hazards. In 1929, there
were as many as 66 entries, an all-time high. The owners of
Gregalach, the 1.929\ winner, took home the largest • purse in
Grand National history—nearly sixty-five thousand dollars.
Records don't show whether any Grand National race of
the past saw every contestant fall It is quite possible. It is
a matter of record, however, that the one -two -three finishers
in. one Grand National event had all fallen during the race
and . been remounted. This is fully permissible under the
track rules. A fallen horse ,may be remounted; it may even
reach the finish line with a rider other than the one with.
whom it started out.
Perhaps one of the most dramatic Grand Nationals in
recent years was that in which forty-two horses started and
forty-one fell along the way. That was Tipperary Tim's year.
Billy Barton fell at the last obstacle, was remounted and
finished second, the only .horse other than the winner to
complete the race.•
The jumping hazards of this race are 'almost unbelievable.
Fourteen obstacles have to be covered twice. Ten are thorn
fences up to five feet in height and 3' 5" wide. Two five -by -
three foot obstacles have six-foot ditches on their take -off
sides; two others are five-foot fences with natural brooks.
One of the toughest jumps is over an opeh 9' 9" ditch with a
depth of over five feet,
To make the event even more unique, amateurs participate
in about equal numbers with professional jockeys. And such
Ls the nature of the race that a good -amateur stands practically,
the same chance of success as a professional jockey. Or vice
versa; depending on the horse.
