She watched the sunset. Tomorrow
she'd be doing the sante thing.
Then she watched her boarder trim-
ming the rosebush, That man was
so obliging, In the few days he had
been here he had made himself thor-
oughly useful.
"Nice e'vening, Mr, Brown," she
said in friendliest voice. Mr, Brown
smiled, "Nice evening."
"Wouldn't you like to sit a bit?"
"Thank you, ma'am, but when-
ever 1 sec a bush that needs trim.

"\Vhy don't you take life easy,
Mr. Brown? It isn't as if you were
a hired hand."
"I like to keep moving, get me?"
"Get you what?" "What? \\'ell
-lemonade,"
"You poor man. There's some in
the icebox." Mrs, Jenkins rose,
gave her slumbering husband a dis-
approving glance, and swept in, At r,
Brown ran up on the porch. He
stood behind the sleeping Mr. Jen-
kins and extended his hand toward
the paper. Mr. Jenkins stirred,
Brown straightened and took a long
step to the rail, He stooped over,
snipping the blades as two sleep -
weighted eyes unlidded, Thcn the
screen door creaked.
"Lemonade's nice and cold, Mr.
Brown."
The man took the glass, emptied
it in a swallow. "Thank you,
ma'am."
Dusk had deepened; and Mr, Jen-
kins yawned. "Reckon I'll turn in,
Gotta spray the apple trees tomor-
row."
"Don't forget to call on Sheriff
Dawson," said Mrs, Jenkins.
The clip clip stopped. Then Mr,
Jenkins saying: "I'll be over to see
hint tomorrow sure before he sells
that white horse o' his to someone
else."
Again, the sound of the blades.
Mr. Jenkins opened the door, Mrs.
Jenkins sat alone, framed by the
light of the lamp in the kitchen be-
hind her, "Mr, Brown, you can't
work in the dark, Mr. Jenkins
won't mind if you sit in his chair."
"You're okay -very kind." 1 -Ie
placed down the shears and took
the chair. In the shadows his fin-
gers folded the paper
"When I was a girl, Mr. Brown,
I loved fun! Would you believe it,
I went to a barn dance every week
and with a different beau each timet
And picnics and hayrides. I couldn't
be tied down nohow. But today -I
reckon I should be thankful but it
does get so tiresome with nothing
ever happening."
The man said, "It's been nice -
taking care of the bushes. I'll miss
that. Pll scram -leaving tonight."
And on the day following she
wondered why Mr. Brown had stay-
ed as long its he had, it was so quiet
here. Toward twilight, when Mr,
Jenkins returned from his visit to
Sheriff Dawson, he led a white
horse, After he had put the animal
up, he made himself comfortable in
his chair. Martha was staring at
the sunset,
"Pretty near forgot to tell you,
Marthy, Sheriff received word that
police picked up Bat Sebastian. They
thought he had a wad o' stoney in
his pocket but it was just a news-
paper folded up."
Mrs. Jenkins sighed. "It trust
have been exciting," she said, "but
nothing ever happens to us, Peter,
what are you looking for?"
"The paper. I left it litre last
night."

LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
Psalms 119:07-105; John' 10:30-
31; Timothy 3:1617.
Golden Text: -The word of our God
shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:8.
The lessons for this quarter are
designed to help us appreciate the
wide variety of literature found m
the Bible. We shall consider bi-
ography, law, history, wisdom, lit-
erature, drama, prophecy, poetry,
letters, The Bible is a library of
literature, Ruskin said, "Read your
Bible, staking it the first morning
business of yot:r life to uudeistand
some portion of it clearly, and your
daily business to obey it in ;Ill
that you do understand."
Obedience to the Bible is the
key to the appreciation of it, The
Psalmist said, "I have refrained my
feet from every evil way, that 1
Wright keep thy word." Hence he
could exclaim, "flow sweet are thy
words unto sty taste! yea, sweeter
than honey to my mouth!"
The Bible is composed of sixty-
six books written by men from vari-
ous ranks and walks of life over a
period of many centuries, But all
point to the Lord and Saviour Jes-
us Christ. John is very emphatic
about it when he writes, These arc
written that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing, ye might have
life through His name."
The Bible is God's revelation to
ratan. It is divinely inspired. Col-
eridge said, "I know the Bible is
inspired because it finds me at
greater depths of my being than any
other book,"

Otte cannot imagine a lazy, shift-
less person writing with force and
energy, in every letter. Usually
there is a weak
response in
making strokes
and a general
lack of Com-
pleteness in the
formation of
certain letters
:;. revealing a poor
imagination and
lack of good
,udgment.
This week's illustration is a good
example of a writer who shows
some of these traits. Notice the
oop in the letter "g", how short it
s, barely as long as the body of the
etter itself. Also the eye of the
oop is almost closed and the whole
otter is hunched together as though
he writer could not muster suffici-
ent energy to form the letter prop-
erly, All the downstrokes are short,
showing lack of interest in things
of an energetic nature, Strokes of
the "t" bars are similarly short,
showing lack of effort.
There is a general uneveness in
the base line, a wavering in the
slope of the script which gives it
a disorderly appearance.
This script reveals characteristics
showing tack of decision, litnited
physical and mental capabilities,
and eliterprise at a low ebb.

acter send a sample of handwriting,

TI -IE MAN married to a jealous

condemned un-

frantic by hav-
ing to be for-
ever on the de-
fensive.
Is it any
wonder, that he
asks sic, finally,
"Is my wife re-
ally crazy?"
Such a husband complains: "If it
weren't f 3r my 18 -month-old baby,
I'd leave. Ever since we married
over two years ago, my wife has
forbidden nuc to speak to any other
woman or girl unless they are rel-
atives!

"If a girl looks at me on the

"I've tried to be true. I've thrcat-

ONE WOMAN'S DISCOVERY
"Dear Anne Hirst: I have been

small girls. My husband is a good
provider, but he likes to gamble -
he'll miss a meal to get in a poker
game!
"1 -Ie never shows any love or af-
fection for use, I was brought up in
Church, and I naturally disapprove
of bad habits, I have pleaded with
him to go to Church with rate, as I
know this is the only foundation for
a beautiful life. Often his answer
is -ire's going to do worse!
"\Ve who look at marriage as he-
ing sacred, how can we understand
such an attitude?
"I don't think my past years
have been spent in vain, however,
I've learned that those who have
been deeply hurt are the ones who
have the glorious gift of wanting
to stake others happy.
"!Don't you agree that It isn't
a matter of how happy we are, but
how ttsefttl we aie?

The only cure that I know for
incurable unhappiness is helping
those worse off to find richer lives.
The satisfaction which comes from
such a career is precious and perm-
anent. Your interest in lonely child-

spirit, and should bring you peace,
As for your husband, can't you
persuade hint to set aside a certain
sutra to play with -and to stake his
gasses less frequent? It won't be
easy, but it would prove that he is
a good sport, and that is probably a
delicate point with hint.

To doubt an honest husband
is to live in misery. Don't
torture yourself, nor him.
Trust is repaid with trust, acid

at least the wife knows she did
not goad her roan into infidelity.

Last Sunday morning three of us
went to Mallon airport. Two of us
tame back. At 8:40 a.tn. Cicely
took to the air, on the first lap of
her trans-Atlantic flight. By noon
next day she would be in England,
even though she had six hours to
wait in Montreal, As I watched her
plane disappear into the blue it
seemed impossible that she should
k here one day and at home the
next. But so it is—and her visit,
like all good things, has come to an
Incl. Now the hens and chickens;
cats and kittens, all look at me in
surprise when I feed them because
Cicely had .taken thele 'over com-
pletely. What her pet cow, Jane,
will think of her desertion 1 don't
know—and 1 am not likely to find
out because it is Partner, not I, who
has taken over Jane again.
Last week we really had quite a
hectic time, crowding in as much
as we could in the little time that
was left, and of course there was
regular work to be clone as well,
We managed to get a bushel of
tomatoes into jars between gadding
and entertaining.
One day we went to the "Ex"
and, as far as 1 know, it was the
only thing in Canada that Cicely
didn't like. She said it was too
noisy, too commercial, too untidy
and too colossal. 1 was disappointed
at her reaction—and she certainly
didn't sec anything worthwhile be-
cause the noise and the crowds
worried her so much that she
wouldn't stay in any building long
enough to find out what there was
to see. So we came home—by train
—a lot earlier than had been our
original. intention,
Of course there is no denying
the fact that the Exhibition is ter-
ribly noisy and the litter all over
the grounds simply appalling, but
still the fact remains there is
plenty to see and much to learn
if we can but shut our eyes and
ears to what is undesirable. Next
Wednesday some of us hope to go
again although Partner is showing
signs of backing out already. Ile
says she is afraid to leave the farm
for very long because the horses
and cattle need so much watching
and watering with the continued dry
weather—and there is always the
danger of fire of unknown origin. A
neighbour had a grass tire stat t
in his lane the other day—and no
one knew how it started. Fortun.
ately they soon had it under con.
trol. But supposing everyone on
that farm had been away to the
Exhibition!
Cicely and 1 had one day in To-
ronto that she enjoyed. it was part-
ly business, to check on her plane
reservation. When that was clone
we had tea at the Arcadian Court
because I wanted her to see that
Toronto could put up something
better than a hot-dog lunch counted
Then we watt to Loew's to see "A
Date with Judy", It was quite
light but good and we enjoyed it,
Then we were shown over a To-
ronto Conservatory of Music and
listened to several violin solos, We
also visited with my sister and
nephew until late and then, because
we still had, time td kill we looked
over the Royal York, 1 wanted to
show Cicely what 'Toronto had to
offer in the way of first class hotel
accommodation and, if my memory
can be relied on, I believe the Royal
York can match or surpass the
Ritz, the Cecil or the Carlton in
London.
Finally we wended our weary way
to the railway station and at 2 a.m.
we arrived here at our local station,
I had told Bob not to meet us as we
did not know how or when we
should get home. That sounded all
right by daylight but at 2 a.m. the
fact that if no taxi showed up we
should have to walk over a mile
didn't seen such a good idea. But
we were lucky. A taxi-driver pass-
ing by saw the trait pull in and
on the chance that he might pick up
a fare he waited. IIe got his fare
all right.
Partner just informed sec that a
light sprinkling of rain is making
itself felt. \Vc hope it pours and
pours, '1'hc drought is awfully
hard on both beasts and birds.
Yesterday I noticed two pairs of
bitterns circling and circling around
here, obviously looking for water.
As for the cows they have dropped
off in their milk tremendously.
Farmers on a milk quota naturally
have to feed their cows in the barn
—or buy more cows. And water
there is a trucker itt this district who
is busy all the time, trucking water.
We bought a thousand gallons our-
selves last week and dumped it
into the cistern. For what's the
good of a battiroonm if the water-
works run dry?
A drunk was weaving through the
Zoo one day when a lion broke out
of his cage.. People scattered wildly
in every direction, but the drunk
calmly walked up to the lion, grab-
bed hitn by the mane, and marched
hint back to his quarter`s.
The next day the mayor called
hint and said, "We're having a
medal struck off for you. Collaring
a lion empty-handed is about the
greatest act of bravery I know."
The hero, now sober, clapped a
hand to his head. "Cleat Jehoso-
phat," he cried. "Don't tell me that
lion was kal"—and fainted.
Not The "Floradora Sextette" But Even Livelier. These fetch ing bundles of silver and dark gray are chubby Norwegian Elk-
hound puppies owned by Garth Gray of I lanlilton, Ont. They arc said to be rare on this continent and six pups are considered
unusual for the breed, When grown they tvill look much like police dogs, but only about half the size.

Opinions as l0 what constitutes
real humor differ widely, of course,
and maybe you'll find a laugh in
this—if you look hard enough. Any-
way, a Hollywood press agent
thought it funny enough to send
out; and if enough of us movie
columnists use it, he'll have got what
he was after.
* * $
Anyway, according to said P.A.,
recently Fred Astaire was resting
between dances on a set for his new
picture "The Barklevs of Broad-
way" and told of a conversation
he'd overheard between two of the
extra girls in the picture. "My
fiance," -said the first "has been
going around telling everybody that
he's going to marry the most beau-
tiful girl in the world." '1'o which
the other promptly replied, "What
a dirty shank—after all the years
he's hcen going around with you,
my dear."
* * *
I thick, myself, that \lr. Astaire
would do better to stick to his danc-
ing, which is a lot snappier than his
alleged humor. Ilowevcr, it all helps
to fill up a section of yawning space,
and I'm sure the Press Agent would
like me to mention that Ginger
Rogers will be Fred's dancing part-
ner in this coming opus,
* * *
On a ,recent Sunday evening I
heard, for the first time, the "give-
away" radio show called "Stop the
Music"—the program, in case you
don't already know, which cut down
Fred Allen's listening audience by
two-thirds almost overnight, I've
already written several times about
what a menace such programs arc
to legitimate air entertainment, and
by time time this reaches you they
may have been banned, or had their
wings closely cropped, by the pow-
ers that be.
* * *
I listened to this particular one
simply because I happened to be
at a Northern Ontario resort where
our portable one -lunger would only
bring in a very few stations. And
my personal feeling, after hearing
it, is that the sponsors—the men
who pay the freight—Hurst be very
liberalism-inded amen, who don't care
much if they get value for their
money or not, or else have a very
great deal of cash that they're try-
ing to get rid of,
* * *
What I ant trying to get at is this.
"Stop the Music" has—or had—
various sponsors, one for each 15 -
minute .slice of a one-hour show.
Now, after less than a week, I can
remember several of the prizes that
were being given away, such as a
2 -year supply of frozen food for a
family of four,—a thousand dollar,
or maybe it was five thousand, dia-
mond ring and things of that sort.
And I can faintly recall that the
sponsor for the opening and closing
quarter-hour periods was a certain
well-known brand of American cig-
arettes. * * *
But for the very lite of me I can-
not recall what products were ad-
vertised on Periods Three and Four,
I rather think that one of them was
some sort of soap powder and the
other a bracelet of some kind, but
their names have entirely escaped
etc, And If that's good advertising,
I'll take vanilla; or Jack Benny; or
even "Life Can Be Beautiful",
* * *
In England the movie folks scan
to have plenty of censorship troub-
les too, only over there it's even
worse than it is on this side of the
water, as cacti municipality has its
own board of "eagle eyes" and
what may get by in one city or town
has to be drastically rut before its
showing is allowed just a few miles
away.
A good example of what goes on
Is seen in the filum titled "No Orch-
ids for Miss Blandish", which was

passed by the British Board of Filum
Censors. 'Then the London County
Council asked for two or three
"cuts" amounting to about three
minute's of film.
* * *
Eastborule 'Town council prohi-
bited the show entirely, Croydon
Town Council decided to allow it to
be shown, although elsewhere in the
same county it was banned. Bristol
asked for two more lines to be dele-
ted, but Beckenham approved it "as
is". Birmingham asked fur three
short cuts, but agreed to the inclu-
sion of a couple of scenes which
sonic of the others had refused. And
The \\'atch Committee in Netvcatic
laid it clown that no child under six-
teen, whether accompanied or not,
could see the film.
* * *
Sounds a bit screwy? 'Then listen
to this. Sir Cedric Ilardwicke was
planning to play the part of Judge
Jeffreys in a new film. But the pro-
ducers were told in advance that it
would not be passed by the British
Board of Censors because "it show-
ed British justice in an unfavorable
light." Yet any good history book
will tell you plenty—indeed more
than. plenty, regarding Jeffreys, bet-
ter known as "'1'hc 1!anging Judge,"
* * *
But the one I like best of all has
to do with little John ilow•ard
Davies who plays Oliver Twist in
the picture of that name—and does
a mighty sweet job of it, too. Nine-
year-old John cannot even go to see
himself on the screen—unless ac-
companied by a parent or guardian.
1f yott can add that up and arrive
at any sort of a reasonable answer
your mathematics are a lot better
than nine!
Answer Pays Off—While site
was making chili sattce Mrs.
Gordon Thomas of Chatham,
Ont., was called to the phone.
It was allollywood prize con-
test M.C. on the other end, and
when site gave the correct
answer to the question asked,
Mrs. Thomas 'volt an award of

Little Oscar, whose family had
recently moved into the commun-
ity, was playing with some of his
new-found friends in the back yard
of a neighbor.
The neighbor, a genial, friendly
woman, looked out of her window
and called out to the newcomer,
"Hello, there! Isn't this a new
face?"

It's probably no news to tell you
that Canadians who grow apples on
a commercial scale have real reas-
ons for dreading the severity of our
winters. For instance the extra
cold weather in the winter of 1033-
34 did so much damage to orchards
in 'Ontario and Quebec that pro•
duction dropped more than a mil-
lion barrels. '!'hat's a whole lot of
applesauce, and no joke intended.
* * *
But Canadian experts in the cul1i•
v'ation of fruit trees have been work-
ing on the problem for years, grow-
ing new varieties which they expect
will help commercial growers to
battle the winter kill—something
which will have the effect of push-
ing still farther north our apple -
growing areas,
* * *
Russian varieties of trees product
poor quality fruit by our standards
—but when Canadian varielics were
budded on hardy Russian types the
apples were all that could be de-
sired, and the trees proved to be
extra frost -resistant. More than
that, these trees seem to be immune
to the collar rot which is such a
plague in eastern Canadian orchards,

The most successful of these new
ripples is called Malus Robertus No,

Down in Massachusetts, where
they really know the value of good
pasturage, records show that the
more progressive farmers of the
state are applying an average of
$18,04 worth of chemical fertilizer
to pasture and hay crops for every
head of livestock old enough to
graze. A number of leading dairy-
men go even further than this, using
as much as $32 worth per animal
unit during 1947.

Although maybe it doesn't exactly

what ,night be real news for thosd'
who, like the writer, have been not-

'same since World \\'r One, until
now the "silver" represents about

Now, something for the poultry
raisers. According to those who
should know about such things, it
is of the utmost importance that
the laying house should be thor-
oughly cleaned and disinfected be-
fore moving your pullets into it in
the fall. Droppings, litter and other
material should be removed with
shovel and scraper and the walls,
ceilings and floor swept with a stiff
broom.
* * *
After that the floor should be
thoroughly soaked so that any re-
maining dirt can be scrubbed off.
This should be followed by scrub-
bing walls, floor and fixtures with
a solution nmadc by dissolving one
pound of lye in thirty gallons of
hot water. When this is dry, it Is
wise to apply a good disinfectant,
such as lye in two or three per cent
solution, chlorinated line in the
proportion of six ounces to each
gallon of water, or one of the many
commercial preparations available.
Cracks and corners should not be
neglected, as these may provide cozy
hiding places for parasites and dis-
ease germs,

Sickness Insurance
Advocates of compulsory sickness
insurance, for the most part, con.
sist of politicians and lay groups
with a record of supporting any and
all proposals which are labelled
"social progress," regardless of their
merits. Ott the other hand, the vast
majority of medical men who have
testified on it have voiced real
strong opposition, In other words,
the real experts are near -unanimous
in believing ihat it would lead to a
decline in medical standards, and
approach the economic stratosphere
in cost. Voluntary prepaid medical
and hospital plans which are open to
all are rapidly eliminating any argu-
ments advanced for compulsory

payroll assessments. The people

Trying to keep tab on the major
league baseball situation is about
the same thing as attempting to
follow, and write about, the French
political scene. "By the time your
stuff gets into print," a colleague
who writes comments on world
events puts it, "you're liable to find
yourself about three Parisian crises
and two new French cabinets be,
hind what's been happening."
* * *
Anyway, at the present moment
the two Boston teams arc still Icad-
ing their respective loops — by
about the width of a gnat's eyebrow
—and please do not forget who pre-
dicted, before the season started, an
all-Beantown World Series. And if
the Braves should get in, everybody
and his brother will be recalling the
great days of George Stallings'
"Miracle 'ream", so why not tis?
* * *
It was late in the season of 1912
that the owner of the Braves hired,
as manager, one George Stallings;
and if you imagine that guys such
as Leo Durochcr are hard fighters
who will battle till the last out and
even aft(,, we might tell you that
they are sissies as compared to the
same Mr. Stallings, as lie was in the
days we are writing about.
* * *
The Braves, when Stallings took
over, were about the most hopeless-
• bolting aggregation that ever ap-
peared in Big League uniforms.
George Immediately started using
the, pruning -knife, with, mighty
sweeps and no regard for hurt feel-
ings; and when the 1913 season be-
gan there were only four of the
previous crop left—"Rabbit" Mar-
anvflle, George "Lefty" Tyler, Otto
Hess and Hank Gowdy. Stallings
used something like fifty different
players that year, shifting his men
like one of these chess experts play -
Ing twenty or thirty games simuI.
taneously, When the campaig.; was
over the Braves, much to every-
body's surprise, had struggled from
the cellar of the National League
up to a dizzy fifth position.
* * *
By the time the 1914 race began
Stallings' had added to the line-up
the one and only Johnny Evers --
one-time key -man In the Tinker -to.
Evers -to -Chance combination -- a
scrapper of high degree who was
Installed as second basemen r'4
field captain. But in spite of this
the Braves started off distinctly "on
the limp" winning but four of t... r
first twenty-two games.
* * *
In baseball they have a belief
that the team on top when the
Fourth of July rolls around is very
liable to cop the pennant, On July
Fourth, 1914, the New York Giants
were in first place, with a fifteen -
game lead over the Braves, who
were last. Then, all of a sudden,
'The Mlasus hired me, I guess.
to keep her 01' Boy to nights,"
things began to happen, and on Judy,
19th the Braves climbed from eighth
place to seventh,
* * *
Then, when they had ascended to
the fourth rung of the ladder, the
Braves fell into such a flitting slump
tllat only the work of one of the
most remarkable pitching staffs in
history kept them from dropping
clear out of the league, There were
s. only three of theta—Dicky Rudolph,
long a favorite with Toronto fans,
Bill James and "Lefty" Tyler.
Stallings worked then] in order,
with only two days or less of rest
between each hound appearance.
How well the trio did their duty is
seen by the fact that for fifteen con-
secutive games they held the oppos-
ition to an average of one run per
game,
* *
The measures the Braves had to
take in order to win games some-
times reached the point of despera-
tion, Arthur Daley recalls one after-
noon when, in a late inning of a
scoreless tie affair, they somehow
managed to fill the bases on Babe
Adams of Pittsburgh, Little Moran.
ville was the next man up and Stal-
lings ordered him to get on, no
matter how, So "The Rabbit" simp-
ly stuck out his head and allowed
himself to be conked by one of
Adams' fast ones,
* * *
Maranville dropped to the ground
like a steer hit with a sledge, Um-
pire Moran, 'working behind the
plate, viewed the prostrate figure
with deep suspicion, "If you can
walk to first base," he finally said,
"I'll let you get away with it," So
"The Rabbit" managed to totter un-
steadily to the initial sack, forcing
in what proved to be the only run
of the game,
* * *
By Labor Day the Braves were
tied with the Giants for first place;
and • with a morning - afternoon
double -deader scheduled against the
Ncw Yorkers, the demand for tick-
ets was so great that they borrowed
Fenway Park—hone of their Am-
erican League rivals, the Red Sox,
and holding far more people—to
play it in,
* * *
Dicky Rudolph pitched the morn-
ing game, against the immortal
Christy Mathewson, and when the
Braves came from behind with two
runs in the ninth, to win 5 runs to
4, they were in first place. But
that afternoon Jeff Tesrcau lout -
pitched Tyler, and the race was all
knotted up again, Then, the follow-
ing day Bill James.tossed a dazzling
three -hitter, which was more than
"Rube" Marquard, for the Giants,
could match. Once more The Mir-
acle Team was on top, and this time
to stay, The dazed Giants, still not
realizing that it was all too true,
practically chucked it, When the
season ended Mr. Stallings, unbe-
lievable Braves were pennant win-
ners by no less than ten and a half
games.
* * *
We have no space to tell how the
Braves went on and fooled the. ex-
perts, who almost unanimously said
that they should be charged admis-
sion to get into the same park with
the Philadelphia Athletics, and
swept the World's Series in four
straight games. But they were quite
an outfit, that teatu which George
Stallings patched together with
mending tape, rusty nails and bits
of hoopirott; and if their 1948 suc-
cessors — supposing they stagger
into this year's classic—Ban only
show anything like the satne color
and action, it should be quite a
Series, and 'n'o fooling.

Canada Climbing Out
Of "Fools' Paradise"
Despite its prosperity, its living
standard and its basic wealth, Can.
ada is in crisis. This is always a
healthy place for Canada to be in,
Canada was created by crisis, it won
Its independence in crisis, its great-
est years of progress were the years
of crisis in Iwo world wars. Long
bemused by the theory of the easy
life, which flows across its southern
frontier, it must now seek its own
clear, cold lifesprings on the north-
ern slope of the planet There it has
always found its strength,
This curious national organism,
one of the few points of stability on
the map, is being hardened and tem-
pered already by the phases of
its trial, It is following its own in.
stincts, It is contriving its own
methods of cure. It is remodeling
its economy. It is re -shaping its
society. Sooner than its neighbor it
Is climbing out 0f the postwar fools'
paradise.
Canada, 1 venture to predict, will
come through the trial stronger than
ever and in a few years, as during
the war, the United States will ask
hon' so few people have accomplish-
ed so rntich 'Phis 1 cannot prove by
facts but only by the record of the
past and the character of my
country in the present— only by an
abstraction which no foreigner will
understand and no Canadian will
explain. In the alliance of fret
nations we shall remain the silent
partner,

The population of New York City

The latest estimate of Ncw York's
residents, made by the city's health
Department, places the figure at
8,007,00d, the first time it has gone
above the eight million mark, The
United States Bureau of the Cen-
sus counted 7,454,005 New Yorkers
in 1040, The latest available popu-
lation figure for Greater Loddon is

Father of Six Rescues
Boy from Trent Canal
WING DI3WAWARD
D'ARCY HILL
OF LAKEFIELD, ONTARIO,
brings; unconscious youngster to
surface after diving three times
At his home in Lakefield, near
Peterboro, Ontario, D'Arcy Hill
had just started to remove his
work clothes when a shrill cry,
comingfrom the direction of the
Otonaee River, pierced the air,
Dashing 300 yards down the
wooded path, he came to the
sheer, cement -walled bank of the
barge canal. At first he could see
nothing , , . and then, suddenly,
he noticed a few bubbles rising
to the surface. •
Immediately 1-Iiit dove into 17
feet of murky water, Swimming
to the bottom of the canal he
found a bicycle. A leaking air
valve had caused the bubbles ...
and Hill was certain that the
rider must be somewhere near.
Coming to the surface for air,
the rescuer made two more dives
to the bottom. Despite the heavy
undertow from a nearby power
dam, he finally located the un-
conscious body of a 12 -year-old
boy and brought him to the sur-
face. Eight feet of bare cement
wall faced the rescuer . , . so he
began the slow, difficult swim_
to the canal entrance. Luckily,
help arrived within a few min-
utes ... and soon the boy was
in the hands of a doctor,
hat young boy is alive and
well today due to the bravery
and coot efforts of D'Arcy Hill
of Lakefccld, Ont. We ate proud
to pay him tribute through the
presentation of The Dow Award. •
THE DOW AWARD is a
Citation for outstanding hero
ism and includes, as a tangible
expression of appreciation, a
$loo Canada &wings Bond.
Winners are selected by the
Dow Award Committee, a
group of editors of leading
Canadian newspapers.
Seeing bubbles rising to the surface,
46 -year-old D'Arcy 1-Iill dove into 17
feet of dark, murky canal water.
The sheer, cement wall was impos.
sible to climb .. , so Hill swam with
the unconscious boy towards the
canal entrance. Fortunately, others
soon arrived ant helped them out of
the water.

NOTE: On certain products subsidies have been paid by Gov-
ernments, -Federal and Provincial, The prices appear-
ing above include all subsidies, except in the case of
Wheat which Is shown at Board price. The Wheat
Board 1611 make a participation payment (the amount
of which is not now known) covering the five crop
years end' tg July 1950.
As between July 1939 and July 1948, the live stock products
listed in the above table show the following percentages of
advance :--
Steers - - - . 223;,, Eggs - - - - - 6..0
Hogs - - - - - 157 n Creamery lltitter - 217%
Lambs - - - 123''f, Cheese - - - - 151%
In contrast to the above, the average advance of all wholesale
prices from July 19,39 to July 1948 is 110/, •
It must be remembered that in 1939 live stock prices were low
in relation to other products. 1t was to he expected that the
advance in live stock products would he greater than the aver-
age for all products, Nevertheless, the phenomenal advances
recorded above inevitably give rise to the following queries: -
1. Is the present Icvcl of live stock prices likely to he maintained?
NOTE; If clic embargo on shipments to the United States is
lifted, the immediate prospect is for still higher prices..
2, ff, finally, there is to he a recession, will that recession be
gradual or 'vertical'?
NOTE; Following World War 1, prices continued to advance
- for a period of eighteen months after Armistice 1)ay
(November 1918 to July 1921l). 'Then a violent collapse
of prices .set 111,
3, If and when the decline conies, at what (approximate) level
are prices likely to he ttltiniatcly stabilized?
NOTE: At least one prediction semis safe, -viz. that prices of
live stock products 1011 not again sink to the levels of
the 1930's. This for two reasons: -
(a) that prices in the 1930's were abnormally low;
(h) that die post-war dollar is equivalent to pre-war
50-60c.
All three of the above questions arc of the utmost importance
to live stock producers and processors. But, -except for the
inserted notes, -no one as yet has the answers,
At the present time, complicated and unpredictable political
factors seem to count almost as heavily as the purely economic
elements of the problem.
One fundamental factor at sonic time will come into play. The
world's food is produced from year to year. At any one time,
whether food supplies are sufficient depends upon the last crop.
In a period of short supply, people go hungry. But if a bountiful
crop follows, the hunger does not carry over, After a few days
(possibly weeks) of heavy eating, famished appetites are re-
duced to normal appetites, Then the increased food supply will
tend to bring prices back to normal (that is, normal as esta-
blished by the new conditions),
The crop now being harvested in the Northern I-Iemisphere is
a bountiful (perhaps a record) one, This may prove to be the
year when mounting food prices will turn downward,
Mention has already been ''lade that net profit leas the highest
in the Company's history, 'J'he, record profit of the year is
accounted for by the record advance in price (within the year)
of most of the products handled by the Company, In addition
to the normal overating profit an 'inventory' profit accrued from
the advancing prices.
On January 2nd, 1948, the Canadian Meat Board announced an
advance in the contract price of Wiltshire Bacon (to U.K.) of
7c per Ib. This advance was immediately reflected in corres-
ponding advances in the price of Flogs and of domestic Pork
products.
These advances (in domestic Pork products) led to widespread
protests from housewives' associations, which in turn led to
the appointment of a Select Committee of the House of Com-
mons, enjoined to examine into the causes of the advancing cost
of living.
The extent to which packinghouse costs, and particularly pack-
inghouse profits, enter into these advancing food prices was a
natural subject of investigation by this Comniiltee. Packers
were asked for voluminous reports covering operations of the
Industry over a period of thirteen years,
The scope of the present Report does not permit a lengthy
analysis of the data submitted, but the essenial facts revealed
may be summarized as follows: -
1, That over a period of thirteen years (1936 to 1948, inclu-
sive) the average net profit of the Packing Industry was
1/7 of lc per Ib. of product sold.
2, That the highest profit in any one year was 1/5 of• lc per
Ib. of product sold.
3, That in the rapidly advancing costs of meat, packinghouse
profits have played no part. Within the three-year period
1946 to 1948, the retail price of major Beef cats advanced
approximately 20c per lb,, and Pork cuts approximately
I9c per Ib., whereas packinghouse profits in the sante three
years had hien respectively 1/12c, 1/7c and 1/7c per lb.t
4. If tlic Packing Lidustry had made 110 profit whatever, the
relief to the consumer could not have been noticed.
5, The advance in meat prices was due entirely to advancing
costs of live stock. These advances were brought about
by conditions of supply and demand, Packers do not and
can not influence either supply or demand, and therefore
have no part in determining the general level of live
stock prices,
For instance, during the depression of the early 1930's,
packers could do nothing to advance prices. They were
able to pay for the live stock only what they were able to
get back for the meats (and by-products),
Conversely, at the present time packers can do nothing to
alleviate the high costs of 'meats, which are date to a world
shortage of all foods, especially live stock, '
6. The operations of the Packing Industry, both in buying
and selling, are carried on tinder conditions of keen and
constant competition,
The live stock which is the packer's raw material is pur-
chased upon the various markets throughout Canada, Ott
each market numerous packer buyers compete for the live
stock, The producer is represented by a commission man,
The commission man is an expert judge of live stock, and
his job is to get the. highest possible price for the animals
consigned to hint for sale. That he is competent to do this
is evidenced by the speed at which prices are forced up
when supplies are short of demand. (Example, -Within
a period of four iveeks,-between May 8th and June 8th
1948, -the price of Cattle in Canada was forced up 4 to 3
cents per lb.)
After processing the live stock, the packer sells the meats
to the retail butcher, FIere again the transaction is one int
which the keenest' Competition prevails. Each retailer is
called upon each week by many packer salesmen, and the
retailer naturally trades downs each salesman against the
others, In the end the retailer divides his order amongst
several salesmen, selecting from each those products for
which his prices are lowest, value considered.
The fact is not generally realized that there are no esta-
blished prices either for live stock or for meats, Each
purchase and each sate is a separate 'bargain', -in which
the buyer and seller compete, the one to reduce the price
a fraction, and the other to advance it a fraction.
It is this keen and continuous 'bargaining' which explains
*The report was in the printer's hands before the embargo was lifted.
'The figures quoted are from the submission of Canada Packers.
the small percentage of profit upon which the Indust' is
carried on. This small percentage upon sales, however,
docs not mean that the industry is necessarily unprofitable,
In the year under review, capital was turned over approx-
imately eight tithes, so that a profit of .91 per cent on sales
yielded a return of aproximately 7.3er cent upon capital.
J Iowevcr, the small margin of profit does enforce effici-
ency. While a profit of 1 per cent on sales yields an ade-
quate return on capital, a loss of 1 per cent, if continued,
means ruin. The record of the Packing Industry in Canada
is strewn with the wrecks of companies which failed to
keep pace with competitors, by this narrow margin.
LABOUR RELATIONS
In spite of the fact that a strike, lasting six weeks, occurred
within the year tinder review, Directors are pleased 10 report
that in the main relations with Employees arc cordial and co-
operative.
The Company Officers feel that the strike was the result of an
unwise method of negotiation (oil the part of the Union) which
had been followed for four successive years.
That method was the introduction of a strike threat at an early
stage each time a new agreement was under negotiation, This
comment is made, not by way of recrimination, but solely in the
hope that a better method may be permanently established. Dis-
cussions with the Union are at point of completion as this Re-
port is being written, and there are good reasons to believe that
foundations of such a nictliod have been laid,
In the discussions, an increase of 9.6% in wage rates has been
agreed upon.
No absolute standard has been devised by which to determine
just what wage rates should he in any industry. Ilia two criteria
are commonly used: -
1. How do increases in wage rates compare with increases in
living costs?
2. How do present rates compare with present rates in other
industries?
The following tables apply these criteria to the rates of Canada
Packers: -
1. Comparison with Increased Living Costs
Present rates (including the increase of 9.6 per cent) and
those of 1939 are as follows:-
Percentage
1939 1948 Increase
Average rate, then - - 50.8c 108.4c 113.8%
Average rate, women • 32.8
Combined average rate - 48.1 103.4 115.0%
In August 1939, the Dominion Cost of Living
Index stood at 100.8, It now stands (July 1948)
at 156.9, an increase of 56,1 points, or - - 55.7%
The increase in rates is thus more than double the
increase in the Cost of Living.
However, this excess percentage (wages over cost
of living) does not represent an equivalent in-
crease in purchasing power. Corrections must be
made for advanced Income Tax rates (modified
by Fancily Allowance payments) and for consid-
erably shorter working hours, When all correc-
tions are made, the increase in actual purchasing
power of all hourly rated employees of the Com-
pany works out at an average of at least - 25%
2. Comparison with Rates Paid in Other Industries,
Comparison of packinghouse average rates with those of
Canadian Industry generally is possible by reference to a
report published monthly by the Dominion Bureau of Sta-
tistics.* That report includes wages of hien and women,
up to and including foremen. Besides regular earnings,
it includes such additional income as overtime premiums,
night work premiums, and incentive bonuses,
13y this standard Canada Packers' average rate (including
the 9.6 per cent increase just granted) compares with
others as follows: -
Canada Packers Limited - - $1,101 per hour
Meat Industry (as a whole) - .954 " "
All Manufacturing - - - .906 " "
Canada Packers' rate is thus higher than:
The Meat Industry (as a whole) by - 15.4%
The average of All Manufacturing in
Canada by 21.1%
During the year a plan has been worked out between the Com-
pany and Employees whereby, through joint contribution, com-
prehensive protection in time of illness is provided, The pro-
tection includes: -
Medical attention and medicines;
Hospitalization for Employees and their dependents;
Surgical expenses up to $200.00;
Funeral Benefit of $100.00;
Weekly' Indemnities in sickness of $21.00 for men and $16.00
for women, continuing according to length of service up to 52
81.2 147.6'0
weeks,
A Group Life Insurance Plan to which the Company contributes
has been in e'l'ect since 1940. Each Employee irrespective of
age can insure for $2,000 for a premium of $5,20 per $1,000 per
year, For male Employees this Insurance is compulsory, -for
females, optional.
PROFIT SHARING
Canada Packers was formed in 1927.
For eight years no dividends were paid on the Common Shares,
In 1935, dividends on the Common Shares were begun,
In the same year the profit-sharing plan of the Company was
initiated,
The policy of the Company, is to maintain regular salaries and
wages at a level equivalent to the highest paid elsewhere in the
Industry._
If profits permit, a further payment, by way of bonus, is made to
each Employee at the end of the fiscal year.
The profit-sharing plan is not contractual. The suet to be paid
in bonuses is determined by the Directors, and is based upon the
earnings of the Company for the year,
This year, in view of the record profits, a record sunt was allot-
ted,- viz. $1,500,000,
Distribution of profits for the year under review has been as
follows: -
Net Profit before bonus was - - • - $3,682,300
Paid to Employees, as bonus - - - 1,500,000
Net Profit available for Shareholders - $2,182,300
Reminder;
This stun is equivalent to 9/10 of 1 per cent of sales
1/7 cent per lb. of product sold.
Out of this sum there was paid to Shareholders
as dividends $1,000,000
The remainder was added to Reserves - $1,182,300
Since the adoption of the profit-sharing plan (1935), distribution
4f profits as between Shareholders and Employees has been as
follows
To Employees, as bonuses - - $10,410,000
To Shareholders, as dividends - - • 10,550,000
