Five charges were laid by the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, through the RCMP, but when a convic- tion was secured on the one charge the other four were ad- journed. djourned. * * Officials of tee Department responsible for enforcing the provisions of the Live Stock Pedigree Act believe that the conviction recorded in this case will make it easier to prevent this type of fraud in the future. • * * For the first time in Canada, and possibly in any country, results of a blood test to prove percentage of an ,animal has been submitted to court and ac- cepted as evidence, In this case it was accepted as proof that the heifer, Mary Bess Supreme, could not be the daughter of the cow, Lady Bess Rena Echo and the sire, Penvale Supreme, as ,Claimed by Mr. Rowe. * * * In delivering his judgment, Magistrate Lalonde stated the prosecution had proved by two different methods, practically and scientifically, that the par- entage of Mary Bess Supreme, as stated in the application for registration, was false, * * * Emmet Collins, an experienced technician for an artificial in- semination unit, gave evidence that he had inseminated the cow, Lady Bess Rena Echo, in Mr. Rowe's herd only four months before the calf register- ed as Mary Bess Supreme was claimed by Mr. Rowe to have been born, and at that time the caw was not in calf, Two veter- fans testified for the prose - cion that an experienced tech- nician in artificial insemination would deflinitely know if a cow that far advanced in the preg- nancy period was in calf. * * * Close questioning of Mr. Col - line emphasized the value of accurate records being kept by insemination technicians. Mr. Collins had to produce records showing exact dates of insemi- nation services, definite identi- fication of the cow inseminated and of the bull used, in order to prove that the calf in this case could not have been born as the result of this mating. * The magistrate stated that as a result of Mr. Collins' testi- mony, supported by the state- .tnenjs of the veternarians, he was satisfied Lady Bess Rena Echo was not in calf when in- seminated on January 4th, 1951, and consequently could not have given birth to a calf on May 8th, 1951 as claimed by the defendant. * * * Magistrate Lalonde stated that the prosecution also had proved by means of blood tests, per- formed by experts, and the re - suit presented by them to the court, that Mary Bess Supreme could not have been the daugh- ter of Lady Bess Rena Echo and Penvale Supreme. He stated the evidence given by Dr. Humble of the Ontario Veterinary Col- lege, on this point was con- vincing beyond any doubt. * * * The basis of the evidence giv- en by Dr. Humble was, that to prove parentage of an animal by the blood test, all factors found in the blood of a calf H e Are Hollywood Noirst-Tressed S MARILYN MONROE: AUDREY HEPBURN: RITA HAYWORTH: "Shaggy dog." "Lawn -mower haircut," "Ten years behind the times." Marilyn Monroe is Hollywood's "worst -tressed" actress. Elizabeth Taylor is the best. That's what a poll of 723 beauty salon operators in the U. S., Bermuda, Canada and Cuba turned up. Other favorite movie stars who followed Miss Monroe in disfavor, and the beauty experts' comments are shown above and below. Hairdressers recommended Marilyn chop her locks by at least three inches, They called Liz Taylor "best tressed," because her coiffure Is "youthful but sophisticated," MARTHA RAYEI • "Untidy and old womanish." LESLIE CARON: "Caught in the rain." TALLULAH BANKHEADI "Stringy," Dahling. Susan Hayward: "Too long and bushy." ELIZABETH TAYLOR: "Best tressed." must be present in the blood of either the sire or the dam. If certain factors found in the blood of the calf could not be found in the blood of either the sire Or the dam; then the calf could not have been the result Of that particular mating. In the case of the heifer, Mary Bess Supreme, factors were found in her blood that were notpresent in. either the blood of. the al- leged dam, Lady Bess Rena Echo or the alleged sire, Pen - vale S u p r em e, .consequently Mary Bess Supreme could not have resulted from that mating. * * * Officials of the Department believe acceptance of the blood test by the court es proof of parentage will aid materially in preventing future substitution of one animal for another in the registration of live stock. With the widespread use of artificial insemination in the breeding of dairy cattle, it will be compara- tively easy to make and record blood tests of all sires used in breeding centres. The Canadian Holstein -Friesian Association al- ready requires it for all Hol- stein bulls used in such centres and the results are recorded at the Ontario Veterinary College. * * * With the blood types of the sires recorded, it will not be difficult, where parentage of a calf is in doubt, to have blood tests made of the calf and the calf's dam. Comparing the blood tests of all. three animals will determine that the calf is not actually the result of the mating -- •- D. )lulled 10, Appear 11. Go by 19. Drift 17. Allow 19. Citrates 21.
