Booed mi ft 20 PAGES 10c PER COPY CIIILLIWACK, li.C, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30, 19G3 SEVENTY-THIRD YEAH, No. 29 "Taxes Too High To Contest Urn December Transfers Restricted, Five Year Build-up Period Transfer of milk quotas has not been stopped but their sale has been restricted under new B.C. Milk Board quota regulations which will come into effect January 1. The changes, taking up one section of General Order No.

31, are the Milk Board's long-awaited answer to dissatisfaction over the so-called "grey market" in quotas. They order that a shipper cannot transfer his quota unless he has been registered with the board for at least five years. Only exceptions are cases authorized with the board's written permission. There will be no transfers of small "pieces" of quota. A quota of less than 400 pounds cannot be transferred.

Quotas larger than this cannot be divided up into amounts of less than 200 pounds. Another clause rules that if a shipper drops out of production for a period of longer than 45 days, he loses his entire quota and has to start all over again. ESTABLISHED QUOTAS All quotas now in existence will remain unchanged on January 1. However, the new order indicates how a shipper can gradually build up his quota or, for that matter, how he can gradually lose it. This fluctuation is geared to what a man produces during the "quota period" the four lowest production months of the calendar year.

A producer's quota will drop if his average daily shipments in each of two successive quota periods fail to meet his quota. If this happens, his quota will drop to what he averaged during those eight months. A man, however, slowly builds up quota by stepping up shipments of milk during the four low months of the year. The milk board sets out an involved formula, based on total utilization of fluid milk, on how this can be done. As an example, suppose a man averages 100 lbs.

He takes five per cent of this in this instance, five pounds and multiplies it by another percentage figure.

The latter is six-fifths (120 per cent) of the percentage of Class I utilization during the last quota period. If, for example, Class I utilization was 55 per cent during the last period, then 120 per cent of this amount is 66 per cent. Sixty-six per cent of the five pounds is roughly 3Y3 lbs. which is the amount the man's quota would increase as at the next March 1. HOW A NEW SHIPPER BUILDS QUOTA It takes an unlicensed producer 5 years to make a phased build-up to his full quota entitlement.

The first year, he gets roughly 20 per cent of his eventual entitlement; the second year, 40 per cent; the third year, 60 per cent; the fourth year, 80 per cent, and the fifth year, 100 per cent. To start with, a producer has to ship milk at the excess price for a full calendar year. Suppose total Class I utilization during the quota period that year is 55 per cent, and suppose, during the same period, he ships an average of 500 lbs. a day. The Class I utilization percentage is then multiplied by 120 per cent, i.e., in this example, 66 per cent.

To work out his quota starting March 1 next year, the shipper multiplies his average daily shipments (500 lbs.) by 66 per cent. This comes out to 330 lbs. But since he only gets a 20 per cent (Continued on page 7) Formula Pricing Back Mew Order Will Curb Grey Market: CCiernan day.

He was sentenced to another six months for escaping and was given one year for the theft charge, which will be served consecutively to the term he is now serving. Court was told the prisoner had broken into a private lodge on Chilliwack Lake, owned by Americans. His sentences will be served in Odkalla. Ten days of hiding out in the Chilliwack Lake region, in miserable weather, didn't get an escapee very far. Wet and hungry, the fugitive from Chilliwack forest prison camp at Center Creek was captured, almost within sight of the place he so desperately wanted to leave.

Dennis Lakatos, 32, of Vancouver, was spotted Sunday by officers of the camp. Upon being sighted, he jumped into the Chilliwack River and swam to momen tary freedom on an island. The officers did not jump in after him. However, they were able to pick him up later in the afternoon when he emerged from the swampy river bottom further downstream. Clothing, and a bottle of whiskey was found in the prisoner's possession.
