Manitoba Grain Shifts Toward Livestock Feed Says Pool Report
Manitoba Pool Elevators reports a shift in grain use toward livestock feed rather than unprocessed sale. The 1970-71 figures show livestock and dairy products at 199.52 million dollars and commercial channel sales at 128.913 million. Grain production growth lags Saskatchewan and Alberta while Manitoba widens in specialty crops and livestock, posing elevator handling challenges as farm deliveries near 100 million bushels. In 1970-71 Saskatchewan delivered 424.5 million bushels and Alberta 248 million.

Rates Will Be Constant For Manitoba Auto Plan
Manitoba premier Schreyer announced that public automobile insurance rates will remain fixed for two to three years. A small margin of five to eight percent could offset deficits, with any surplus placed in a rate stabilization fund and not into provincial revenue. He cited expected savings from reduced litigation due to no fault provisions. The plan began operation on November 1.

Integration urged for mentally retarded to join community
Dr Wolfensberger of Toronto told the Saskatchewan Association for the Mentally Retarded annual meeting that institutions are a negative environment and that integration should be achieved through community services.
