Yes, we have heard maybe six or seven
versions of the verse But what our Chinese fnends say is that whatever
the song or verse may be, if isn't Chinese the designer merely made a
pretty picture
Home Hints: Instead of using poisonous ant and roach killer in and around
eating areas and children's rooms, use cinnamon Insects hate the smell

Cattle
April 19,1979
Compared with previous
week’s close: closing prices
on slaughter steers were
2.50- higher, and heifers
closed 2.00-2.50 higher, in
stances 2.75 up. Cows were
2.50- higher and bulls
firm to 2.00 higher. Two-way
feeder steers were 2.00-3.00
higher.
Fed cattle prices con
tinued to advance with daily
trading often a scramble for
numbers to meet-even a
reduced slaughter quota.
The upsurge was partially
supported by higher carcass
prices. But the live trade
usually outdistanced carcass
upturns. Supplies were still
of modest proportions, but
the overall finish was fairly
attractive with a rather
liberal percentage Choice
and a moderate volume
Choice and Prime. Slaughter
steers made up ap
proximately 32 pet and
heifers 34 pet. Cows com
prised 10 pet and feeders 22
pet.
