Beef farmers losing

HARRISTON, ONT. (CP)
— Despite continuing * beef
farm losses, supermarkets
have kept beef retail prices
high by tripling beef mark-
ups in the last five years, said
aleader of a maverick group
of Ontario beef

Jim Harkness, secretary:
treasurer of the Ontario
Cattlemen's Action Group,
said beef markups by the top
five supermarket chaina have
rison from 83 cents around in
1917 to about $1 now.

And while the supermark-
et chains have been in-
creasing their markups on
beef, Harkness said the far-.
mer's share of the retail cost
of the meat has dropped from
80 per cent in 1977 to 70 per
cent now.

Harkness made the state-
ments following a meeting of
the group earlier this week.
The 400 beef farmers at-
tending the meeting voted to
push for, a beef marketin;

board. The proposed board
would peg the cost of beef to
the cost of production.
FORCING LOSS:
Harkness said rising inter-
est rates and feed prices are
putting most beef farniers in
a loss situation even though
retail prices for the product
bowed risen over the last fow

*eFarkness said beef farm-
ers now receive about 80
cents a pound for beef but
inferest payments and feed
costs amount to between 80
and §5 cents a poun

“This includes nothing for
labor, land or hired hands,
he said,

e're not even breaking
‘even on the interest and
feed.”

Tim Carter, vice-president
of the Retail Council of Cana-
da said the volume of beef
sold through supermarkets
now is so low and operating
costs are so low and oper-

ating costs are so high that
supermarkets are losing
money selling beef.

He said Harkness’s figures,

received from a supermarket.

were inaccurate because they
don’t. include prices for alk
cuts of beef, including beef
specials sold every week.

Awards are
increased
by Cominco

Cominco has announced
increases to its higher edu-
eation awards program of
scholarships for sons and
daughters of employees or

high school average of 86 per
cent or ha

for students with an average
from 78 to 88 per cent —

have increased from $350 to
$500, The new schedule is in,
effect for students gradu-
ating from high school this

year.

The scholarships are avail-
able for applicants who are
children of Cominco employ-
ees and retirees. The award
is paid on behalf of the atu-
dent to the institution of
higher learning at ‘which he
or she registers,

The Cominco ‘higher edu- -

eation awards program
started in 1968, and has
proved to be very: successful
from the point of view of stu-
dents, parents and educa-
tional authorities. Under the
program, awards based on
academic achievement have
amounted to more than
$320,000 for 847 students.
The first Cominco schol-
arship went to John Albo of
Rossland in 1918, Since then,
the company has awarded a
variety of scholarships and
fellowship programs amount-
ing to well over $1 million to

assist students in obtaining a |

higher education.

Aeration used
to aid lake

Thousands of small Cana-
dian lakes may.become unus-
able in the next decade un-
less some way is found to
contain the growth of algae,

Nitrogen and phosphorus
compounds which pour into
the lakes from sewage sys-
tems; and from the agri-
cultural use of chemicals
start a chain of events which
lowers the oxygen level of
the lakewater to such an ex-
tend that the bacteria which
eat dying algae cannot ‘flou-
nih and the fish in the- lake

‘Trying to solve this prob-
Jem of oxygen depletion, bi-

ologist Donald McQueen of
York University in Toronto,

‘has designed a system for
aerating lake water. The de-
vice uses a flexible tube to
bring up water from deep in
the lake, allowing it to mix
with air as it rises.

McQueen has an experi-
mental serator in place on a
small Ontario lake. He be-
lieves that his process can

keep a small lake going for a‘

while but in the long term, he
says, the only solution will be
to drastically reduce runoff
from sewage systems and

+ from agricujtural use‘ of fer-
tilizers. |

‘Preaches to deaf
of their needs:

HALIFAX (CP) — Rev.

m Coughlin, North Amer-
ica’s only deaf Roman Cath-
olic priest, says his goal on
preaching missions is to help
the deaf become more aware
of their religious needs.

He recently completed a

tour “of the Atlantic prov-° -

inces, accompanied by Sister
Irene Doyle, Atlantic pas-
toral worker with the deaf,
during which he preached to
members of the Nova Scotia
branch of the International
Association of the Deaf.
Preaching on the essen-"
tality of death as a means to
understand the reason for
life, Coughlin said the soul is
united with God at the mo-
ment of death, thereby re-

solving the conflict between
good and evil,

Coughlin said he enjoys
travelling all year because he
is fascinated with the world
and his travels allow him to
