Leonard Mehew admitted year end transfers between CFA accounts and other irregularities to keep his credit from being halted. John Merrill said he borrowed 520,000 though his ceiling was 530,000 and denied similar irregularities. Mehew cited 1958 to 1962 cash advances totaling 134,962 and 98,369 in feed bills from 1959 to 1963. A trucker said two cattle-hauling rigs were bought in his name by the CFA and a Jubilee Motors debt was settled without his knowledge. Former Alberta treasurer Hinman was to testify.

Alberta ranchers seek aid as cattle losses rise
In southern Alberta losses from the severe cold reach 820 head and may top 1,000 as the province weighs aid. Regions hardest hit include Oyen 350 head Hanna 400 head and Medicine Hat 170 head with many uncounted losses elsewhere.
