CHEESE
Tradition tells us that several
thousand years before Christ, an
Arab ,herdsman went forth one day
as usual to the tendariee of his
flocks; ealrying with him by way of
lunch a bag of dates 'arid a ' akin
bottle made from the stomach of a
calf, filled with mills. When the :trine
came for his noon -tide meal and rest,
he opened his primitive milk contain-
er in order to drink, but to. his am-
azement, instead of the milk with
which he had filled it at dawn, there
trickled forth only a .clear, watery
fluid. Startled, he slashed open the
skin bottle to explore what had hap-
pened inside, and saw immediately
that a cream -white, semi-solid, lumpy
mass had.,fornned. Curiosity prompted"
him to taste this, and tasting- he
found it good'. Relating his exper-
ience on his return to the camp at
the end of the day, his tribe from
that time forward often experiment-
ed with part of their milk -supply,
and this, if credence may be placed
in an age-old tradition, was the be-
ginning of CHEESE as a popular
and constant element of the .ever-
changing-. and at all times variable
diet of mankind.
The making of this first "milk -
product" undoubtedly spread to other
lands during those' sparsely chroni-
cled early ages which followed, and
yet all down through the later his:
tory and changes of the world it has
continued as a staple artiele of food,
although prepared in widely differ-
ing ways, until today, when there is
probably no corner of the world
which does not include some form
of cheese among its best known and
most popular national foods.
From available information it is
perhaps of interest to compile a
short list of the per capita consump-
tion of eheese among some of the
world.

The above figures are only ap-
proximate, of course, but they give
an indication of the amount of cheese
eansumed among these peoples,
whose important place in history and
in. the trade mars of the world needs
no further remark.
A note of special interest to us in
Canada may perhaps be introduced at
this point. I£ is this: That the first
cows were brought to Canada in 1608
by Samuel de Champlain in his early
efforts at colonization, and the
French inhabitants of Acadta
brought with them the knowledge
and ability to make butter and
cheese for their own requirements.
The United Empire Loyalists from
the United States started cheese
making in Ontario in 1782. This
cheese was also originally used
domestically and not as an article
of commerce - and yet, looking at
present day figures for commodities
exported, we find that this same
cheese has now earned a foremost
place among important Uanaalan
exports.
An extract from a booklet entitled
"About Milk" recently published in
England and written by a Professor
of Public Health and Hygiene may
be quoted here, whieh reads as fol-
lows:
"Cheese is composed of alI the
solids of milk, except the sugar. A
few drops of ferment, called rennet,
is able to curdle and thicken a large
quantity of milk in a short time
Cheese is really a concentrated form
of milk, far 1 pound of eheese is
produced from 1 gallon " (about 10
lbs.) of milk. It is thus specially
rieh in fat and protein. Old cheese
is very digestible, preferably it
should be three or four months old
before being eaten. Further, it is
,one of the most concentrated foods
known, and contains a great deal of
nourishment, in fact there is nearly
as much food value in one pound of
cheese .as there is in two pounds of
meat."
And now a few words as to the
value of cheese as an article of diet.
There is no doubt that cheese is both
palatable and attractive to most peo-
ple. It is capable of many adapta-
tions in its use as a mea.kingredient.
It contains a great store of energy
producing units and .is an econom-
ical source .of protein. Its low cost.
puts a highly nutritive food welt
within reach of every housewife, no
matter how slender the purse may
be.
Cheese should be used erten, in
combination with other foods, as the
main dish of a meal, .and whenever
utilized in this way other protein
fod3s should be reduced to a mini-
mum. Because cheese is so rich in
proteinit should be combined with
carbohydrates or starchy foods. These
with the addition of the leafy and
root vegetables and almost all fruits,
are an excellent combination` for the
maintenance of a' -reasonable and
well-balanced diet.

Shakespeare's tragedy "Othello,"
considered by some authorities as
perhaps the.greatest work ever
written, dates back to the period be-
tween 1601. and 1608 when the Bard
of Avon wrote his great tragedies,
in a world filled with disappoint-
inent. "King Lear," "Macbeth" and
"Hamlet" all belong to this period,
and authorities are still debating
which one is the greatest.
Rolfe, the Shakespearian authority
referring to the time of the writing
of "Othello," says: "....at the date
assumed for the production of "Oth-
ello" Shakespeare was in full matur-
ity of his powers. He had already
written "Hamlet," and "Macbeth"
and "Lear" were soon to follow. It
seems fitting that these 'four great
tragedies' should be associated in
their time of composition as .in the
pre-eminent rank they hold among
the poet's works. There is no other
such group in the literature of any
country or any age,"
The next production in CBC's
Shakespearian cycle of 11 plays will
be presented to the Corporation's
nationwide network Sunday, Novem-
ber 13, 9.00 to 10.00 p.m. EST, when
one of North America's most distin-
guished tragedians, Walter Hampden
will come to Toronto to play the
leading role in "King Lear."

REPETITI 1 N
UNDOUBTEDLY, one of the fundamental and very real functions
of advertising is continually and everlastingly' pounding home the
facts and features and .facilities of the advertised products and
Services. The reasons, of course, if, indeed, there be need for the
mentionof reasons,- is not the too often attributed fickleness of
the buying public, but rather that other things its numberless quant-
ities lay claim to the buying power of the public and that it takes
more than single and casual mention of articles to make impressions;
and that each day brings to the market new members' of the buying
public. Fundamental and basic as such a statement is, it is well
for all of us who are concerned with distributing things which have
been ,rade, to the places and peoples where they are used, to repeat
it frequently to ourselves. For there has been too much advertising
waste resulting from the very lack of-repetitlion. To many
beginnings of advertising programs, based on well -laid plans, which
have for varied reasons not gone beyond the beginning stage. And
thereby they have made a squandering of the cost of that beginning.
But what is more serious, they have failed of fruition for leek of
continuity, which is, broadly, another way of saying REPETITION.
