Originally ,cheddar cheese was made in the Cheddar dis trict of. Somersetshire, England, but later was manufactured in other parts of England -and Scotland, and still later in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and recently in South Africa. Cheddar is one of the- oldest English cheese on record.:. In 1613 in Samuel Hartlib's "His Legacy of, Husbandry", cheddar is described as the best cheese in Eng- land, made in different weighs from 20 lb. to 120 1b., and on the 5th of July, 1695, John Houghton, the author andagriculturist whote as follows: Matt's daughter, returns home from Matt's murderer: Then he accuses months, I was wrong, but it's done, New York to help save her property'; Bradish of working with Slanty and and it was a long time ago.

Silence came, and thea the :stir >: SMALL T 0•W N S history of human labour in all ages and in all countries, and I suppose that never will there be absent it any country in any age the con- scienceless men who buy and sell. Just the same business standards and practice the world over are even im- proving; or to put it differently, more men in. business are dealing rJ fairly with, both. their workers and their customers than ever before; and we can look forward to a continuing improvement in buyer -seller relations —thanks to law and to the enlight- enment of those engaged in the practice of business. There are many men , who allege that machines are a curse—that they displace, human. labour. Those who hold such views are very stupid. They see only the innnediate present. They fail to look both backward and for- ward, they show themelves to be lacking in a knowledge of human progress and to be vary thoughtless. It is true, that locally and temp- orally machines can and do expel men from factory labour:, from distribu- tive industry, from agricultural in- dustry. The linotype sent men out of printing shops. Steam and elect- ricity have replaced nen in industry. Machines on farms do enable farm- ers to carry on with fewer hired men. But ahvays invention and machines have tended to increase the total number of men in employment the country over. This fact has so often Ibeen demonstrated that I feel it to be unnecessary to Provide figures showing that there are far more men and worsen in gainful employment :today than in any former period in human history. I ant ready to grant that it id rough on individuals whom machinery displaces for the time being. Thus, when a company instals a new mach- ine which cuts down the number of employees required from say seven to three, the case of, the four displaced men may be pitiful. But vicissitudes of this sort are inevitable, and have marked the progress of humanity throughout the ages. Neither divine nor human economy has even under- taken to proteet heman beings from hurts to body and mind and condition. What. essential difference is there between a man's being injured a. severely by a machine, or a tempest, or an animal that he can no longer be a wage earner and a man's being displaced, for a: period, if not per- manently, by a marline from his waged -paid employment? Why should not all of us lament over the displacement of horses from 'farms and front the highways by 'tractors and trucks and motor cars? Whet woman in the land wants to see sewing inacltines, operated by foot, or by electricity, banished, in or- der that more women can be. em- ployed in the sewing trades? Yet I heard the preacher mentioned by me in my previous contribution to the News -Record plead for the ban- ishment of .a htige mechanical ex- cavator our read -making jobs in order that more 'Wren could be employed to do the same labour. Who wants to see men doing physical—or menta/— work which can be done with more celerity and more economy by a. machine? To plead for the suppree- sion of machines in order to give more work to human beings is ' to plead that the genius of Hien should be suppressed. Locally and immediat- ely it Wright appear to be better if machines were suppressed in order that more human beings should have employinent; but extend this argu- ment to drake it apply over the whole world and over every class of work, and the folly of the argument becomes apparent. Most of us who are shallow think- ers and short-sighted, view things solely in relation to ourselves. and our own coinfort'and advantage.

Urban wiseacres have multiplied their: joie `s: about it, and those who corse to the defence- of it often do not get much support. As small towns have pretty much Om sante type of community outlook everywhere, it is interesting to note what a New Yorknewspaper has to any in a deserilptive article about them. In short it is this: The small town man is an individualist who "believes in the virtue of work and thrift and honest dealings". He speaks his mind with .bluntness and keeps his eye sharply peeled on local civic affair's (seldom considered worth while in larger places) he will, nottolerate graft. He takes a pride.. in living within) his merits : and making the local- geverntnent do the same thing. Ilis life is "largely ,a matter of mak- ing an honest living . . educating his ehildren ea that they can do bet- ter in life than his parents have done ., . living in peace and har- mony . . and fitidnrg pleasure in the simpler things of life." So there, doesn't seem to be much wrong with small towns, except, per- haps, that there are not enough of them. "There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart; Never believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it is true; never tell even that, unless you feel that it is absolutely neces- sary, and that God is listening while you tell it."—Henry van Dyke.

VVACATION is over, and a new school year has begun. The hectic rush and bustle at'breakfast, the patter of, small feet down long school halis as class bells ring, and meek poring over texts and note- books tinder the iiving-room lamp at night. A season—and a field for the camera. How many of us have good collec- tions of sohool-day snapshots --+pie- tures of our own school days, or our children's? Moat albums reveal too few, and the chance to make other's will not return. Look at Johnny as he tightens the strap about his books, and goes whistling down the walk to another day of classes. If he's in the fourth grade now, you'll never be able to take another pic- ture of him at the ,third=grade stage. Time moves on, and the pictures we lose today are lost forever. Do you have a good "off to sohool" snap of the children, showing them. asthey turn at the gate to wave goodbye? Probably not—yet it would be so easy to .bring out the camera any sunny morning and catch a quick snapshot you would always treasure. Again, have you any snapshots„around the school , grounds—at the tennis court, the . outdoor drinking fountain, the swings and seesaws, and .other places where children gather? Pic- ture your children there,, and later on your snapshots will help them re- call the good times they and their young friends had at school. When the children are old enough, they should have cameras of their own. A good. box type camera will serve their needs admirably, and It is Isard to imagine a better gift. The growing'boy or, girl will delight in picturing friends, school activities, school scenes—' and inexpensive cameras ere so simple stow that any child can operate them At home at night, "study” plc- turee are worth while, and you can make them with any camera. All you need is a couple of inexpensive photo bulbs, and a roll of fast super sensitive panchromatic film. Why not try to keep the full story of the, sebool year In pictures? Some day these school -time snapshots will be highly valued possessions. 200 John van Guilder.
