The Editor,
Clinton News-Record,
Clinton, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
I noticed a recent press article
on hogs and how 4,136 hogs. broke
the hog market last week to $23.
I wonder what would happen if
10,000 hogs backed up onto the
Ontario public market in Toronto
some week, or at any other point
in Ontario, for the hag co-op to
sell. It IF likely that would crack
,the floor. This• is what Mr, Mc-
Innes has been advocating in a
pipe-dream idea he has over a
direction program. His plan, is for
all hogs to go to assembly points
by compulsion, which could mean
40,000 hogs a week would be look-,
ing for a home.
I am afraid it would be a night-'
mare because assembly points are
only equipped to take care of lim-
ited runs on certain days; beyond
that, the market would be forever
under pressure and the price of
hogs' and movement of hogs would
not function in a normal way. The
farmers could be the goats if they
had to stand the shrink losses as
they might appear, particularly
when hogs are sold on a dressed
weight basis.
It seems' unusual for the hog
co-op to Sell about 2,000 or 3,000
hogs a week, to the people who
depend on the Toronto public
yards for their supply of hogs.
The part played beyond this is a
hocus pocus arrangement that cuts
in and mesmorizes the public. This
is covered up by propaganda that
is misleading in character.
Yours truly,
THEODORE PARKER

Without being in the least super-
stitious, in any troublesome way,
it is possible to derive a good deal
of interest and downright comfort
from the study of horoscopes. A
cheek of the- 'horoscope column in
two daily papers shows that they
always agree in substance if not
in detail, and frequently fit the
individual ease remarkably well.
On a discouraging morning, how
nice to be told "-only a few, more

that anyone this side of the referente table in

IF YOU HAVE a TV set you no doubt were
one of us who sat helplessly one Sunday night
through two hours of Figaro-if that's the
way you spell it. It was the only program on
if you wished to look at TV, or had friends in
for an evening of entertainment.
We can't help but imagine that the percent-
age of viewers who enjoy such a production is
very small. To our way of thinking it is, a
production that should be pot on between 4 and
6 a.m.-of course, that is our own opinion; to
which we are entitled, If the actors would even
talk their parts instead of singing them we might
IT IS POSITIVELY amazing to watch the
way this country is being propagandized by
governments. First radio, then TV became gov-
ernment instruments to "educate" the people.
Soon scores of newspapers started to receive
large fees from government coffers. Magazine
editors and writers were also enlisted to com-
ment "impartially" on national affairs - under
the auspices of a government agency. And now
the Federal Government has gone into print in
a big and costly way.
Over in Hull, handy to the politicians, the
government bought property for their new Na-
tional Printing Bureau. They paid $564,991 for
the property and another $150,000 to. landscape
it. The new building has cost another $13;035,009
on top of that, and they still have to buy print-
ing equipment. What do you think we taxpayers
will get out of all' this? Let me tell you.
In bolder type on fancier paper we'll get
such pamphlets as "The Germination of Cotton-
seed", "The Pointed Skins", "The Lump Fish",
"The Diatoms of Canada", "Discipline: How Can
I Correct My Child's Habits?", "Sports and Ath-
letics in Other Countries", and thousands more.
The Canadian Government Publication Catalogue,
back in 1953 was a thick voluihe of 578 pages.
When the big new plant gets' going, only the
good Lord knows, how thick it will become. And
how many new magazines does the government
plan to put on the newsstands.
THE BRIGHT SIDE
• The day is sunny and warm and bright,
The rills and the streams are flashing with light,
The sweet flowers blooin in the warm spring air,
And the song of birds is everywhere,
And the day is warm and bright.
My life is sunny and want. and bright,
All trials and cares have passed with the night,
My glad heart lifts to the God above,
Who answers our prayers in his infinite love,
And my life is warm and bright
My heart at peace-no more repining,
The sun shines bright-no clouds confining,
God gives Ile courage, yes, one and all,
For the day when the rain will surely fall,
Though this day is so bright and cheery.

of rutabaga! What to do? Well, just reach
in the grocery basket for a pre-cooked can of ,.

And it will save "kiln Aunt Ma.ryt's delicate

even become somewhat •interested. •
The sad part of the whole thing is that all
three of what we might call .our local stations,
which are all you can get, especially when such
a production is on, carry the same program. .No
doubt it isn't' their fault. They probably have
to carry the program.
But for downright entertainment we, and
we know there are thousands like us, would
prefer some good old , hill-billy music, or almost
anything else, on at least one station while the
other two were labouring with Figaro and antics.
Printing equipment today is so costly that
weekly newspapers are having trouble showing a
profit. Yet the Federal Government sees fit, at
such a time, to construct the biggest and fanciest
printing shop in the nation. About 95 percent
of the pamphlets it will print might well be
allowed to go out-of-print, The balance would
be, printed by private printers at a fraction of
the cost. Readers would never guess that they
came from print shops not graced with $159,000
landscaping!
THE PUMMEL
NOW THAT VIENNA is •back in the world
again, more will likely be heard of the bumrnel.
This is one of the glories of Vienha. It may be
part of the reason why the city is still a con-
siderable place, even after these decades. The
bummel is' the art of strolling.
To any Canadian who inquires "What in
the world is the art of strolling?" some of the
answers may be that strolling is what isn't done
on Portage or Bay or Jasper. There used to be
a touch of it on Granville, but progress has
done it in. Well on into an evening along Ste.
Catherine there- is: some strolling by the French,
who are better acquainted with Austrian ways.
For the most part, however, any. strolling that
goes' on in Canada is by people slowed down in
the 'traffic. It might be well to consider the
burnmtel. In an age when survival has become
the engrossing theme, one may be able to get
just as far, perhaps farther, by strolling occa-
sionally. - The Printed Word.
ON THE HOUSE
(Wingham Advance-Times)
IN THESE DAYS when everybody and his
dog gets a grant from the government for
something or other, a lot of people seem, to be
"living it up" 'on government handouts. Civic
bodies are spending more than is' absolutely
necessary in order to get the grants that go
along with the expenditures.
The government pays, up to 75 per cent of
the shot on schools' and anconsiderable percent-
age on hospitals. So everybody figures the best
is none too good. People are taking a philoso-
phical view of luxuries they would' jolly well
get along without, if they had to foot the bill.
themselves.
Nowadays people, are spending $100 to save
$10, and calling it smart business. They're
ordering "on' the house" ,as if the house were
actually paying for it.
Government grants aren't manna from heav-
en. They're money out of your pocket and mine.

The "Letters to Editors" col-
umn of weekly newspapers often
offer interesting sidelights on life
in rural communities. Problems
of people are often, presented, A
recent letter to, a Muskoka weekly
revealed the difficulty of securing
a Bible in out-of-thesway places.
This difficulty is experienced, even
today, around the world.
To help solve this problem hand-
to-hand distribution of the Scrip-
tures by 1,000 "Colporteurs"
throughout the world is under-
taken by the British and Foreign
Bible Society of which the Upper
Canada Bible Society is the local
auxiliary.
The purpose of the Society is
to place a Bible without note or
comment, within reach of every-
one, at a price he can' pay, and in-
his own language. This• purpose
has been adhered to throughout
its 150 years of Christian service
to almost all denominations.
From home to home, where
Bible are not readily available,
"Colporteurs" call carrying the
Book of Books. Thus people who
need it and desire it may secure it.
Most editions• are sold at, or be-
low, cost price and all missionary
translations are, heavily subsidized,
Canada has required the Bible in
over 100 different languages. On-
tario in over 45. Colporteurs can
provide it in most of these lang-
uages.
Four "Colporteurs," Enrique
Bazan in Bolivia, Raul Campos in
Ecuador, Pot Tun in Burma and
Philip Wambua in Kenya, are sup-
ported by funds raised through
"Stamp 'Corner", a department in
the Bible House, London. Many
hundreds of pounds are provided
each year through the sale o fused
stamps sent in from around the
world.
See, there's nothing to it-the
whole problem was a maresnest,
Tomorrow or the next day, all• will
be well. The horoscope on that
day may tell you, "Good rays.
Fine for social relations, creative
effort." You have already found it
