GUERNSEY WINS PRODUCTION HONORS Strathallan Gypsy's Kate, a 15-year old Great, Great Grandmother, has entered the Guernsey "Hall of Fame" reserved for all time great Guernsey milk and butterfat producers by virtue of having produced 99856 lbs of milk containing 5329 lbs of butterfat in 10 lactations. For this production she has been awarded the Diamond Medal Certificate of Production by the Canadian Guernsey Breeder's Association. Longevity is closely associated with perfection in type and her "Very Good" classification, the second highest obtainable, indicates that from the standpoint of type she is also one of the best. Her breeding record as well as her uniformly high production in all of her lactations indicates that she has been a very, profitable cow. Strathallan Gypsy's Kate was purchased by John Kudelka, Manager for J. H. Crang, Glenville Farms, Newmarket, at the dispersal of the Strathallan Farms Guernsey herd in 1951 for $500 when she was six years old and she has since completed seven lactations including her two best-13778M - 722 - 7Y - 365 and 13148M - 700F - 8 yr - 365.

The aim is to treble the amount of financial help usually distributed to children throughout the world through its Fund for International Help and Understanding, An appeal now being launched among the membership of 1,372, 316 boys and girls in more than 40,000 classroom Branches has an objective of $150,000 and will be earmarked for the assistance of refugee children. Dr. J. T. Phair, chairman of the national advisory committee of the Canadian Red Cross, announced in Toronto today that this will be the Junior Red Cross tribute to World Refugee Year. He explained that a contribution of at least ten cents by every child enrolled in the Junior Red Cross, will assure success of the appeal. Dr. Phair emphasized that parents should encourage their children to earn their contribution to the Fund for International Help and Understanding by doing odd jobs around the home or depriving themselves of some pleasure. In this way the children will have a better appreciation of their support of the Junior Red Cross refugee effort. It is expected that many Branches, particularly those in high schools, will conduct a number of fund-raising projects in their schools. These will consist of parties, dances, shoe shine and car washing days, etc. Money from the Junior Hod Cross Fund for International Help and Understanding will be used to purchase food, clothing, drugs and other essentials. It will also establish self-help projects and vocational training programs to help refugees solve some of their problems and to equip them for the future. This Junior Red Cross project for refugees has been endorsed by departments of education throughout Canada.
