Crackdown on egg quality underway
Agriculture Canada leads a nationwide crackdown on egg quality with provincial boards and grading stations. Inspectors sample ungraded eggs from flocks nine months or older, offering three weeks to correct. If no improvement, options include disposing of the flock, selling as Grade B, or selling to processing. Consumer confidence aims to rise through better interior quality and less carton breakage.

Handicapped youth aided by research
Canadian researchers at the National Research Council in Ottawa develop communication methods for severely developmentally delayed children. Using switches with pictograms, yes no boxes, and an elementary modified keyboard, they link nonverbal cues to spoken language, tracking behavior changes to improve learning and reduce self harm.
