The. 46-year-old my for tie of York South recently conducted a Survey among 430 teenagers at four Ontario High schools and found them Lote deeply Scep Lical of the messages Adver Liser s Are trying to put across. Many of the students from schools in St. Cath marines Thunder Bay and her Riding had doubts about the honesty and integrity of advertisers she said in a recent interview. The students were asked to list programs and commercials they watched Over a unionist attacks controls Montreal up the Federal government s anti inflation program will Aggra Vale Canada s deteriorating economic climate in president of the confederation of National Trade Union Cantu said.

Chris Mills of Calgary Secretary of the association said in a Telephone interview wednesday that the farm Price for fat cattle Jiow is lower than in 1973, while production costs have risen drastically in the last two years. He said this has resulted in cows being killed a prac Tice which May result in future beef shortages and higher consumer costs. The recently released third report of the 1 Ood prices re View Board says that Grade a beef Tost More in Van Couver stores than in four other major Canadian centres during the first six months of 1975, despite comparatively Low wholesale prices Here. The report says Vancouver meat retailers paid an average of 77.5 cents a Pound for carcass beef and sold it for this is a Price spread of about 35 cents compared with 20 cents at the retail level in Montreal 21 cents in Calgary and 23 cents in Toronto. Or. Mills said it is at the retail level that the biggest Mark up occurs and this is of concern to producers. Anything that discourages people from eating beef is of concern to us especially at a time when we have More than we know what to do he said. He said Vancouver s retail Price spreads May be larger than those in Eastern cities because Vancouver lacks the variety of Large competing food outlets operating in Toronto and Montreal. He also said retailers seem to play around with Mark ups which do not Rise or fall with cattle prices. Or. Mills said cattlemen would need a Price of More than a hundredweight to break even last june Grade Al and a-2 cattle in the Van Couver area were Selling at a 1975 High of a Hundred weight. Prices fluctuated through out the rest of the year but dropped steadily from the fall on. Fat cattle were Selling at a hundredweight in Alberta on wednesday about less than the Vancouver Price. Or. Mills said that in com paring farm prices with retail prices quoted by the Board for Vancouver the rancher would get about 35 cents a Pound for his cattle. But since it takes about two pounds of live animal to make a Pound of beef the equivalent Price would be about 70 cents a Pound. One week period and to make comments on them.
