SS 4. FORUM
7'1e SS No. 4 Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs, Ira
Merrill with an attendance of 14.
The topic for discussion was "The
Challenge of Dairy Substitutes,"
It was decided if dairying were
seriously injured by the wide-
spread use of imitation dairy
products it would definitely af-
fect the other branches of agri-
culture because the farmers
WOttld ktave to turn tp something
snore profitable such ea grain,
liveateck Other than dairy cat- •
11e, penitry, fruit and vegetables
which would 'probably create a.
aurplue of these on the markets.
It was • decided, that the urban
consumer would also be affect-
ed, es there would then be a
shortage of fluid milk, butter
and cheese, which are important
for nutrition, Urban people also
are dependent on the dairy in-
dustry for a living, eg, manu-
facturers, and employees of dairy
plants.
The farmer, to help meet the
challenge of dairy substitutes, can
send a resolution to his MPP,
going on record as being opposed'
to the return of coloured •marg-
arine; can refuse to buy dairy
substtutes in place of butter; can
reduce production costs and, do
more advertising and give at-
tention to good public relations,
The forum thought the laws
.should remain as they are; that
no colouring in margarine should
be done.. It should not be per-
mitted to resemble butter in
colour.

Transition to Self Propelled Cars
A little more than 50 years ago, the Canadian Pacific Railway introduced to Canadian their first
internal combustion self-propelled rail car (Inset). This month the CPR is placing in service four of the
very latest in self-propelled cars -the I3udd RDC's Patterned along Toonerville Trolley' lines, the old
gasoline -powered, single track tail car was 13 feet long and carried 14 passengers. Today's 90 -foot Budd
car carries 89 persons and is' air-conditioned. Old 502, the first of the breed in Canada, was also air-
conditioned, but in a primitive sort of way -she had open sides. Unimpressive as the old car was, she•can
still lay claim to being the forerttnner of the modern, stainless steel, streamlined rail diesel cars which
today are providing service between Montreal and Mont Laurier, Toronto and Detroit and North Bay
an4 Anglier. The original rail car, built in 1902, operated trom Montreal's old Place Viger Station to
Ste. Therese.

• There is always a fad- of some
sort in progress among publish-
ers. If they aren't pushing biog-
raphies, or psychological novels,
or science fiction or some other
kind of writing in current -
v o
g+ue, they are reaching back into
library tombs to exhume an old
master, long lost to the reader's
eye and to his memory.
In Canada - aided by the
Ryerson Press - William Ar-
thur Deacon has revised a book
he first published in 1927 for the
purpose of turning some illum-
ination on four obscure Canadian
rhymsters. He takes his title
("The 4 3ameses") from the fact
that they all have the same first
name - James Gay, a Guelph,
Ont., carpenter; James McIntyre,
an Ingersoll, Ont., undertaker;
James D. Gillis, a Cape Breton,
N.S., school teacher, and. James
MacRae, a farmer of Ontario's
Glengarry County.
The encyclopedias do not men-
tion them, but they all dabbled
in poetry, and Gillis, aE, least,
wrote some good verses, a com-
pliment I am willing to pay him,
and not only because he alone
.of the four is still living. Mr.
Deacon is going to meet with
difficulty, however, if he expects
Canadians to accept the Four
Jameses as "Monarchs of the
Quill" in this second attempt to
give them what he considers
their just due in Canadian lit-
erature.
The book is a particularly in-
teresting one, and I am glad the
author has brought these pioneer
poets into focus since they must
have - and surely did -• play
some part in the painfully slow
metamorphoses of Canadian
poetry.
Every Canadian who is con-
scious of the cultural surge now
taking place in this country
would do well to read this• book
which the author (himself the
literary editor of The Toronto
Globe and Mail) has presented
in such an entertaining manner.
But while Mr. Deacon wishes to
exalt these particular poets, I
thing the book best serves to
illustrate that a national liter-
ature does not spring up on the
shouders of great writers alone,
but from the sweat of little peo-
ple, the pamphleteers, letter -
writers, the Jameses, or course,
and people like Calgary's Bob
Edwards and New Brunswick's
Oliver Goldsmith, a grand-
nephew of the more famous
Oliver.
Mr, Deacon knows very little
about these men of whom he
writes, and much of his praise
is based on fancy and conjec-
ture. He shoots his literary ar-
rows and then attempts to fill
in the target with the substance
of the poems of the Four
Jameses.
James Gay (1810-1891) emig-
rated to Canada from Devonshire
••-as4+s-+++4
in 1834. Nothing is known of
his education or his early life.
His fame -if such it was -came
late in life, and his first book
of poems '(which brought him
f50) appeared in 1883; his last
in 1885.
It is easy enough to picture
Gay -- a teetotaler who even
poke in rhyme - exhibiting his
two -headed colt at the Guelph
Fair and selling copies of his
poems. He liked to call himself
Canada's poet laureate, but it is
significant that no one else did,
in . spite of "The Elephant and
the .Flea", from which he takes
his notoriety.
Deacon credits Gay with an
unassuming spirit because • he
placed Longfellow above himself
in merit! But Gay did not hesi-
tate to rank himself with Tenny-
son and told the Iatter so in a
letter he wrote to the English
poet laureate, which he embel-
lished with his self -given title:
"Poet Laureate of Canada, and
Master of All Poets".
James McIntyre (1827-1906)
was known as "the cheese poet"
because he wrote an ode on the
mammoth cheese that Oxford
County sent to the World's Fair
in Paris, and also because he
wrote prolifically - and some-
times well - about farm life:
"Some critics think they do
make clear
The fact that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare,
But a gent lives in New York
Asks what effect will it have
on pork."
James D. Gillis was born in
Cape •Breton in 1870 and de-
serves just tribute for writing
in 1898 "The Cape Breton
Giant", a valuable piece of Can-
adian folklore concerning the
fabulous - but real - Angus
MacAskill, who was seven -feet,.
nine -inches tall, three -feet, eight -
inches across the shoulders, and
who weighed 500 pounds.
Gillis had more education
than the other Jameses, although
he was self-taught and obstinat-
ely independent. He taught
school at 18, but did not bother
to attend teachers' college for
almost a decade afterwards. He
attended Dalhousie University
for three months, but did not
like the method of teaching. He
wrote a text book of his own,
but it was never used.
James MacRae was the pen -
name of John J. MacDonald,
born in Glengarry in 1849. He
went to school for three or four
years and until 1873 was a lab-
orer. He then studied engineer-
ing.
At 28 he published a book of
poems. In these years he was
shocked that the ladies wore so
many clothes, and he declared
the habit of concealing the fe-
male form in a way God- never
intended was downright dis-
honest:
i
"How oft thus lay the secret
way
In which the game is played: --
A shapeless mass, by name a
lass,
Is artfully arrayed,
I,s neatly .bound with x' etai
roun.d
And lri PAPP wisely made,
And nd padded o'e#' with worth,
toss etore
To cover tlnhetrayed.
The sad .defects, which one
detects
When nature is displayed:"
Potlbless his opinions reversed
as the years went by, Rip sec-
ond book of poems - "An Ideal
Courtship" -.- was published 46
years after the first, while he
was living in St. 1Vla;tys, Ont,,
and occupying his time by writ-
ing letters to the editor of The
Journal. -Argus. and The London
Free Press.
