done before .there is an estate to

Ycu are not being fairly treated,
considering the circumstance;

You will not only be helping
yourself, if we can straighten up
inequitable or irregular practice
with your assistance, it will help
every other farmer who may
have a similar problem.
At the March Directors meeting of
the Huron County Federation of Agri-
culture held in Clinton on March 2g.,
a resolution was passed and forward-
ed to the Ontario Department of
Highways asking that gas refunds be
paid within sixty days of receipt of
application, It was also suggested that
the Dept, send the fanner a receipt
,stating that the application has been
received at the Dept. of Highways Of-
flee. In some cases a farmer has had
to wait six months before receiving
payment for his rebate on tractor gas
used in doing farm work, When we
owe the Government money it is paid
promptly (or else). When it owes us
money, any time will do to make pay-
ment.
The• present chaotic butter situation
gives us fair warning that we cannot
rely on our Federal Department of
Agriculture to do the Job of storing
sufficient food in time of plenty to
carry our consumers over the period
of short supply.
In an agricultural country like we
have, there should never be a short-
age of basic foods such as meat, but-
ter, cheese, eggs, ,etc., yet we have
found cheese hard to buy at any price,
butter "is being dpled out on a Week
to week basis And next fall eggs Will
be a luxury on almost anyones table.
When we find PrObleMe like these
confronting tia, we have ..to look Care-
fully to see if we can find the cause,
So far I pan suggest a few reasons
for these shortages, First we htwe the
Government policy of directing the
flow of milk into certain channels by
making the price more attractive in
that particular market. Secondly we
have the cut back in price on these
products when all other prices were
moving upward, Thirdly we have the
good financial returns for meats that
make it a better business proposition
to let calves milk the cows rather
than milk them and sell the milk to
make cheese or butter.
The solution to this dilemma of
short supply and exeessive prices will
not he an easy one. The price of but-
ter and eggs will have to be set at a
much higher level than last year to
encourage farmers to produce more
of these essentials than they have
done during the past year. We can
produce more than enough butter,
cheese and eggs to satisfy our nation-
al consumer demand, but it will not
be done at a price such as we receiv-
ed in 1950, namely 28c per pound for
cheese, 53c per pound for butter and
around 32c for eggs.
We will have to rely more upon our
marketing boards to tell us what is
required to fill the consumer demand
and what price we can expect to re-
ceive for our produce,
THEY TELL ME
IT'S TRUE
By Bob Clark.
This week tTHEY TELL ME IT'S
TRUE, takes us back almost a hun-
dred and fifty years, to a vine covered
cottage, nestling in a grove of trees
on a sloping English hillside where
lives the beloved English poet, Thom-
as Moore, and his lovely bride, the
fragile and beautiful, Bessie Dyke—
famed throughout the British Isles
for her rare beauty.
Theirs is an ideally romantic life . .
nothing mars their perfect happiness.
But then, one day, the beautiful bride
falls ill, Her brow is fevered, her face
is pale. Her husband hovers over her
anxiously, and a worried frown comes
on his face. . .he leans over the bed,
whispering . . "As you know Darl-
ing, I leave for Italy tonight, • . but I
won't be gone long. The doctor is
here, and the nurse, and they will
stay with you until I come back, and
when I do, come back, I want to find
you well and strong again. Good bye
my beloved . , good bye."
ries to the door of his wife's room,
he finds the doctor waiting for him
outside the closed door. As he starts
to open it, the doctor stops him say-
ing... "Welcome back Sir! I am glad
you have returned. But I am afraid
that I have news for you that you
won't want to hear, Oh, your wife is
well . she is almost strong enough
to leave her bed, but... " As the doc-
tor hesitates, the young poet grasps
his arm in a grip of iron. "But what?
Tell me man! What are you trying
to say? Hurry I want to see her!"
For a moment, the doctor remains
silent. , , then, taking a deep breath,
he replies gently . . . "That is why
I stopped you here, sir. She doesn't
wish you to see her!"
The young poet is stunned. He can
Only stare at the doctor. In a soothing
voice the doctor continues. . "I don't
like to have to tell you, but your wife
has been seriously ill. We didn't know
it before you left, but she was suf-
fering from smallpox! And it has left
its cruel marks on her face." He
pauses, then in a stilted voice con-
times . . her beauty is gone."
iof Without a word the young poet
pushes the doctor aside, opens the
door and walks slowly into the sick
room. It is in pitch darkness, and
there in that kind darkness. lies his
young wife. Knowing that her love is
gone forever, she is afraid to let her
husband see her face . . for oddly
she fears his love—more precious to
her than life itself - will vanish just .
as her beauty has disappeared. He
begs and pleads with her but with
tears in her eyes, she refuses to let
him look at her.
At last, in despair the poet leaves
her, and walks slowly, dejectedly.. .
down the hall to his little book-lined
study. And there a sudden thought
strikes him. Perhaps. , . perhaps
through a verse, a poem written front
the fullness of his heart, he can con-
vince his wife that though he loved
her delicate beauty, his real love was
for her, not her face.
And so, all night long he sits at his
desk writing .. scratching out a wort"
here .. . adding a word there, and at
last, as the stars fade at the touch of
dawn, he tiptoes to the door of her
room and softly sings to her a song of
love. . . the poem he has written,
set to an old Irish melody.
When he has finished, his wife is
silent. And then with her own hands,
she lights the tapering candles beside
her bed. Their light stabs the dark-
ness, and unafraid she turns her scar-
red and pitted face to the light. Her
husband's eyes never falter. . he gazes
steadily at the once lovely face , . it's
beauty destroyed forever. And in his
glance is the same love, the same
adoration as before. He half runs, half
stumbles across the room, and falling
on his knees by the bed he whispers..
"To me, darling, you are beautiful. —
that is how the song "BELIEVE ME
IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING
YOUNG CHARMS," came to be writ-
ten, written by the poet to give a
message to just one woman, his wife..
But so beautifully written, and ex-
pressing a message so sincere, that it
has become known and loved by the
whole world, They Tell Me It's True!
