When Dickens Wept Over Good News Henry Dickens, the son of the novelist, was on my other side at that luncheon. In the secret places of my heart there has always _been a little altar set up to Charles Dickens. To be able to read and re -read that man has made it worth my while get-.. ting born. I was a little diffident about mentioning his father to Henry Dickens that day. I did not wish to appear inquisitive, Presently — I do not know how — his father came into our con- versation, and he told me many things about him, Of these many ' things, one, above ,all, will ever remain in my memory. Charles Dickens was never demonstrative. He praised but few, though he carried sweet thoughts in his heart for friends,' for servants, for all those who strove to make. some semblance of life possible for the poor in an age when the poor found life almost impossible. But he sel- dom expressed himself to peo- ple, even those so nearly about • lib . Henry Dickens told me that he had returned from -college one class -with honours earned through a „stiff examination. He had no belief that he would pass,•neither had his father. .That - honours, would come to him: was beyond the belief. of - them sboth. -Henry was very pleased with what he had- done; and. knew -that; when he. imparted the'news'to his fa- ther, a great joy would gome into his beam, e Charles Dickens ,met him with the dog cart af. the, station ,Dirt ectly Henry had •climbed. up be= side., him,,. and the .pony trotted h , _ he told. his (ether what tie I ' d done. He expected an. imtrta. diate ovation of praise, but his father said nothing. When Henry !, went into certain points his fa- ther ansewered "Yes." "Good.' or "is that se?''' Nothing' more. The boy became, suppressed. Th,; old pony jogged on. Noe thing more Was said 'hetwee0i. the twain there set:med nothing more to say.'

The Earl Marsb'al, Lord Howard of Effingham,' was ordered by the Court to spare -'no pains to put ona glorious show. Yet his `worries" quite overpowered him. Abbey, work- ers went on strike, refusing to erect stands unless their wages were raised. ' Sedan -chair men "came out" with them. Even the Dean and Chapter of Westminster joined with other property owners in the Abbey's' neighobourhood by placing exar- bitant prices on their window seats, as much as twenty golden soverigns, worth about £200 by toe -lases values, for a single place. When the secret ceremony of the ,Consecration took place, an irritated monarch listened in turn to echoing cries and whispers for the table of the Knights of the Bath, the Royal Canopy and the Sword of State. All items were missing. Amid angry murmurs from merchant princes, jealous of the City of London's fiercely won freedoms, the Lord Mayor had to. lend his sword for the /comple- tion of the 'ceremony. Scene of Confusion Worse, when the Archbishop of Canterbury poised the Blit - tering State Crown above the King's annointed head, a dia- mond broke loose from its sock- et and ran down the royal nose. Full of confusion, the unhappy Earl Marshall stammered after- wards: "My fault, Sir, were many, but I can assure your` Majesty that the next corona tion shall be regulated in the exactest manner possible!" Cold. comfort, indeed, for a reigning, king! The first English coronation, accompanied by a royal passage' through, London's streets, was that of Richard II in July. 1337. .Not only were, London's pave- ments "profuse with •tapestry and garlands," but marked at ' intervals With "giant pageants," A gaudily painted canvas castle was erected in Cheapside, with four turrets, each occupied by e beautiful ' maiden - clothed in white.. As' the royal each ap- proached, she threw imitation gold florins; on to its horses' ands 1, blew leaves of gold ipso. the King's face. " When he halted, the maiden-, 'a scampered forth, bearing gold,, cults filled with irle and press- ed their offering in turn to his„ lips:?On that day the city's guts, ,I Mrs, ' normally coursing with water, flowed for three hour4.. with red sena whites wine.

They are eaught between the. rising cost of production and the - lowered return for their prod ucts. For both these factors the price policy of the manufactur- ing and- processing industry are largely responsible. In 1951 three companes manu- factured over 88% of the Canadi- an made agricultural implements, -. The statistics published on these three companies thereforecan be considered representative of the •. industry. From 1945 ' to 1961 the - Gross. selling value of, agricultural im- plements _ at . the plants increased •• by - 265 per cent. In the same period per capita wages a rid salaries increased by 78 per cent, but the net profits per dollar of share capita] -increased 455 per cent. In 1951 the net recuse for every dollar of share capital was' 50;5 cents. Over 50 cents per dol- lar ccapital seems to be a fairly generous return. We wonder how many -farmers have a net income of 50 cents for everydialerin- vested in their land, buildings, . stock and implement - Such is the situation in the ' main industry selling to the far- mer," It is similar et the Other enol, in the industry buying from the. farmer. Two Of the three largest Rims in the meat - packing busleiese had a ratio of combined net 'irb- fits to share capital of 50,8 per cant in 1945, of 1180 per cent in ," 1950 and df 83,8 per cent in 1951. It is not surprising then that farmers do not know where to take the money . from to 'meet their payments due fol•, rbmn5it- ments made at times that l'ooited rosier than they turned out.' to be, ' In the election Campaign now ,being waged from coast; to coast many brave apeei:hea lxdve' been made about the imporfance. of agriculture as the basic indust y, Nothing has been said, how- ever, whether manufacurer's: and processors will be permitted *to centime "in the same 'way' they .have'beeh doing these lastyel4'rs. This is another question which should be asked by .the farmers from• all parties. This column welcomes - sd•g- gestions, wise or foolish and all criticism,' . whether constructive or destructive and will "try' "to answer any 'question.
