V; Right now, beef is a timely topic. We talk about the cost of living, alleged profits, charges, and all .rthat. Beef is an important item. It's the good old backlog of solid, dependable nourishment but a lot of us, in discussing the situation, do so with r rather limited knowledge. rr .Waldo Kane, who seems to be qualified to say a fev words, states" that today, a steer raised in B.C. is sold by the rancher at a figure around 13 to 14 cents. A steak, from that carcass, sold in the butcher shop is bought at say 50c a pound, r Undoubtedly, there is a spread, but get this! The cattleman is paid live weight and there is only GO per cent edible meat in the animal sold. There is freight to be paid from shipping point to destinationalong with holding charges at the stock yards, abattoir fees, wholesalers and middleman's overhead, as well as plenty more incidentals, all of which mount up. It mav not be all velvet even "T if tho consumer has to pay all the shot. UNITY "INTERMINGLING, one with the other can be I thought of as a first step toward attainment of the unity that today is being so earnestly urged, ft can be cultivated, even in a small way, to begin with. For only through actual association does it become possible to form an opinion of someone else. Not infrequently revision is needed. People are so often misjudged. There may be faulty relationship among kinsfolk. In a wider sense the same may be true of communities, and in a still broader meaning it becomes international. Yet unity, building on a large or small scale or helping to be the. means of getting people to really know and understand each other, bristles with difficulty. It is eri-ier to talk of unity than to achieve it. LETTERBOX "COW BAY" EXPLAINED Editor, Daily News: "W. J." posed a query in last night's article of his interesting '"column 'Reminiscences and Reflections" which, I believe, could be answered by a very good friend of his, Alderman Robert MafcKay. The query was "How did Cpw Bay get its name?" According to Mr. MacKay a chap named Tommy last name, forgotten brought two cows to the city back in 1903 and the .only place the bovine cargo ' 'could be unloaded from the scow was at the litte cove east of the government wharf. Subsequently the cows were housed close by in a barn which, according to my own records, was torn down only a few years ago. The animals remained there for several years before being taken out Park Avenue way by a Mr. Schaeffer win had purchased them from Mr. Braun of Terrace, successor to to the original "Tommy." The landing of the two cows and their residence of several years was believed to be resnon- sible for the naming of' that area, Cow Bay, the location of our first dairy. BRUCE STEVENS. ALDERMEN JUT "WINDFALL" INTO GENERAL FUND A "windfall" of $2,000 which resulted from a patriotic gesture should be merged with taxation funds. The city received notice of j transfer last July, after the trustees of the formerly private ly-owned armories, col. s. D. Johnston, Col. C. V. Evitt and J. T. Harvey, turned the buildr ing over to the Department of National Defence with stipulation that any payment be made to the city. Reason that the money was given to the city, Col. Johnston said at the time of the transfer, was "as compensation for what the city lost tn taxation in giving up adjoining lots to the military in 1940.'1 The aldermen joined in dis- cussine what should be done with , 8Ct fir!tri Si Jil ism3! i: Nabisco kmj SHREDDED WHEAT nBn Sure, Molly's 49 . . . but always on tlio go!
