A MATTER OF EMPHASIS
4-4
THERE'S A good deal of loose talk going
around about Russia's space satellite being proof
that 'the free world is dragging its feet in the
realm of scientific progress.
Nobody can deny that the successful launch-
ing of the Soviet "moose' is a spectacular scien-
tific achievement, But this doesn't necessarily
prove that socialist planning, Moscow-style, is
better than Western freedom. Far from it.
Consider, for example, last year's discovery
in a little research laboratory in the United
States of the Salk polio vaccine. Consider, too,
that instead of the thousands of children destins
ed to go through life with twisted limbs and
bodies before Dr. Salls's discovery, since innoc-
ulation began, only 63 cases of .polio developed
in the whole of the United States this year,
Polio is still a dread scourge among child-
ren in the Soviet .Union, despite the earth
satellite. But in North America, this crippling
malady of childhood has been virtually eradr.
eated.
'Ask any mother and father whether they'd
prefer to substitute an earth satellite fat free-

S
"THEY SAY"
(The Traveller)
THERE ARE two words in -our language
which have wrought havoc and brought more
tragedy into a suffering world than all the
blights, diseases and scourges known to man.
"They say." Where is the historian .whose
life on earth will be long enough to enable him
to set down the ghastly record of suffering and
despair which "they say" has brought to hum-
anity? •
When such an historian comes, he will find
that "they 'say" brought witches into the world
and burnt helpless old women; that "they say"
saw the first ghosts which walked in the world
and veiledethe world in ignorance and super-
stition, while the heads of thinkers dropped like
acorns from the gallows.
"They say." Who are they, who say? What
is this monstrosity which has come into the
hearts of men and moves their idle lips in a
sickening prattle of gossip, slander, and sheer
falsehood which results in so much heart-break,
suffering and death, too?
dom from the anguish of having their child
stricken with polio, and there won't be much
doubt as to what the answer Will be.
. CONCERNING
IN SEPTEMBER 1956, there were 706 ac-
cidents on curves. Of these, 25 were fatal and
192 caused injury. •
Reports .very often record. the fact that
drivers entered the curves with too much speed
• and were unable to control their vehicles.
'The modern automobile has been developed
in comfort and efficiency to the point where an
awareness of speed as such has diminished to
a very low level. The effort made to develop
a habit of automatically referring to the speed-
ometer as a "curve" sign is sighted can pay
substantial divlderide in safety.
And on left hand curves complete control
and alertness has no Substitute. An' oncoming
motorist may be going too fast to stay on his
own side of the road!
"They say." It causes men to hate and
suspect eath other; to go to war and kill each
other; to tear down, and destroy innocent reputa-
tions; to make of millions who should be just
and enlightened beings, the mere tools of gossip
mongers and a thousand varieties of common
scold.
What a frightful record—what a mountain
of victims lie heaped in the kingdom of this
crazy monarch whose willing dupes so many
millions et people are.
"Agriculture now requires the services of
an independent, highly-trained force of market
experts and economists to give to farm mar-
keting the same 'guidance and direction that
scientists and manufacturers have so effectiv-
ely given to production. Farmers themselves)
in most eases, have blazed new marketing
trails; but more is,needed now, for marketing
in the last decade has become the most im-
portant phase of farming."

of a rummage sale for the Young
Ladies Patriotic Association.
These were the words used to
describe a "Gigantic and Unriv-
alled" sale at Brawn's store: "A
dazzling array of the most fas-
cinating value-giving offerings
ever presented. A glittering carn-
ival of unprecedented bargains,
fairly beaming with rarest under-
prices. This announcement of
such extreme radical reductions,

an unusual economic furore a-

(Reason for the sale was that

caused sense smoke and water
damage. Fire Chief Bartliff and
his men soon had the blaze under
control.)

about hogs. You don't know a pig
from a peccary". Since I am con-
stitutionally unable to avoid argu-
ing with her, and trying to prove
I'm smarter than' she thinks
am, "Oh", says I. "I don't, eh
We'll see about that. Some of my
best friends are swine, and not
just Canadian swine, either,"
So I started thinking about hogs
and doing a little research. The
more I pondered on pigs, the more
fascinated I became, Before I was
finished, I determined to expose
some of the canards about swine
and present them in their true
light as the "useful, fecund, adapt-
able and amenable" noblemen of
the barnyard which have "accom-
panied the progress of man
throughout the world." The quotes
are from the encyclopaedia.
First thing that strikes one about
a hog is his absolute utility. There
is probably less waste on a hog
than any other living creature.
Man's puny body is just so much
junk when the spirit has departed.
Not so swine, A healthy hog just
begins to get into the act when
he's given up the ghost,
We carve him into succulent
pork roasts, tender hams, tasty
pork chops, delectable spare ribs.
Breakfasts would be a dead loss
without that delicious back or side
bacon he proffers. His bristles are
used • in brushes, Pis skin made
into fine leather. And from the
ears of lady hogs, we make silk
purses. What other beast can
boast such a variety of attractions
after death?
One of the best points about
hogs is that, unlike children, they
will eat anything. You can raise
a hog for peanuts, or on peanuts,
if you have a good supply. They
thrive on garbage. In fact, for
centuries they were 'maintained as
the family garbage pail. If things
are really tough, they'll even eat
their own children., Surely nothing
could 'be' more 'economical to raise
than that.
' A eommon misconception about
hogs is that they are dirty., We
are always reading in books bout
Spanish-speaking types,- calling
someone "feelthy peeg", or French-
men doing the same with "sales
cochons". Fact is, they don't even
sweat, like humans, so can't even
be accused of having B.O.
Space does not permit 'further
eulogizing on the sterling char-
acter of hogs, but I'd like to make
one point. The economy of Canada
was based on the beaver, in its
infancy, That was fine, But for
many years now, the beaver has
been little more than a nuisance
who builds dams in trout streams
and floods farmers' property, Can-
ada 'produces some of • the best
bacon hi the world, Why not have
the hog as our national symbol
instead .a the beaver?. He's twice
as useful, and his habits are much
more akin to those of our people
than are the' diligence and pa-
tience Of the beaver.
before you begin to think I have
gone hog-wild on the Subject, I
will say my final word,—to the
ladies, Ponder on what you have
read here, meditat6 an the nobility
of the hog, and next time you get
sore at the old man, don't say:
"You're nothing but a dirty pig,"
Hogs have feelings too, you know,
