"People should report the presence of this scrap material to their municipality or take it to a designated scrap vehicle gathering site."

While the group picked garbage at random Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday evening was the first organized effort.

New technique aids cancer treatment Dr. Carlyle King the lymph nodes in the chest, the nodes are subjected to radiation to prevent further spread through the lymph system. The problem is the radiation beam may miss the nodes in as many as 35 per cent of the patients, she said, because the radiotherapist has had no way of knowing their exact position. Dr. said now the nodes can be located on a scanning device after radioactive technetium is injected into the abdominal muscles below the rib cage.

The technetium settles in the nodes and shows up on the scanner. in 1954 and she held honorary degrees 7romseveral institutions including the universities oi sasKaicnew an ana i oronio.

He recently advised farmers to select and order needed implements immediately. Mr. Padbury also recommended a film and booklet, both entitled Forage Mechanization, which evaluate various machines for power, cost, ease of handling and performance.

Regional farmstead engineers have the film and booklets, Mr. Padbury said. He also advised talking to neighbors already using similar equipment before making a final selection. Grasshopper insecticides are highly toxic and require extremely careful handling, Labor Minister Gordon Snyder reminded farmers recently. There were 101 agricultural poisonings last year in Saskatchewan, he said.

Five of the poisonings involved children. Contaminated clothing and used pesticide containers should be safely locked away and children should be kept out of working areas while the pesticides are being mixed, loaded and sprayed, and during all cleaning and disposal operations. Other deficiencies in procedure which resulted in Illness last year were: relying on an enclosed cab or a gauze respirator for protection against inhaling spray; failure to wear all needed protective clothing failure to decontaminate all clothing by thorough washing after each use; and insufficient care while clearing plugged nozzles or repairing defective equipment. Deep poultry manure pits are rapidly gaining acceptance across Canada because of their convenience, Kris Kristjanson. agricultural engineering specialist with the Saskatchewan department of agriculture said in a recent press release.

Manure pits located in the basements of well-ventilated poultry nouses need cleaning only once a year which can be done with a front-end loader, he said. By installing stair-step cages above an opening in the floor, all manure drops directly into the pit and no complicated, costly manure removal equipment is needed. Ventilation fans should be mounted below the barn floor on the sides or wall of the pit. The air is drawn through the open floor to minimize odor and partly dry the manure. Semi-dry manure is much easier to remove and causes less odor when spread on the land, Mr.

Kristjanson said. Careful seeding of forage crops can save considerable expense, according to Saskatchewan department of agriculture forage crop Norm Johnson. A firm seed bed is the key to good seeding of grass or alfalfa. Forage seed should be planted one-half to one inch deep in moist soil, he said. rate elementary schools where strikes have been called.

"Just how soon the entire project can be completed is difficult to predict," Mr. Kramer said. "A major problem is that of securing the necessary work force and equipment to finish the work." Some contractors prefer to work in southern areas, he said, because there are fewer working days lost through rain than in the north.
