Century of Cheese -Making The Commercial Letter of the Canadiaii.Bank of Com.- merce reports that "during the past century,. the Canadian cheese industry has earned a reputation for high quality cheese and has gained impor- tant export markets for its main product, cheddar cheese." Although cheese has been made on farms from the days of the early settlers, Canada's first cheese factory was not established until 1864. In that year, HarveyFarrington opened a factory near Norwich in Sou- thern Ontario. The innovation quickly spread to Eastern Ontario, and This Symbol Means We're Different from an insurance company salesman.

WINGHAM PHONE 357-2636 by the turn of the century there were cheese factories in all provinces. At its peak, the industry had 2,300 cheese plants and 570 combined cheese and butter factories. At present there are about 200 factories in Canada, most of them in Ontario and Quebec. About 90 per cent of production is cheddar cheese. Cheese ex- ports reached a peak of 234 million pounds in 1904. From this time on, they turned down- ward but fluctuated consider- ably. In recent years the overseas market has experienced an up- turn, and in 1963 it took about 25 million pounds. Canadian consumption of cheese is rising. At the pres- ent time we eat an average of eight pounds of cheese per per- son per year, and by 1980 it is forecast that consumption will have risen by one-third to 11 pounds per person. "The Canadian cheese in- dustry has experienced a cen- tury of change. But one fea- ture --quality-- has been con- sistent throughout the industry's history. This factor will con- tinue to play an important part in the future development of the indistry." EARLY BEGINNING OF CHEESE INDUSTRY It is not known who manu- factured the first cheese. Ac- cording to ancient legend, a herdsman who carried his sup- ply of milk in a pouch made from a calf's stomach first ob- served one of the basic princi- ples of cheese -making. He discovered that the milk had separated into curd and whey, an action caused by the rennet in the lining of the pouch and the heat of the sun. Thus, ac- cording to the legend, the making of one of our most use- ful foods began. The practice of ripening and curing cheese is believed to have originated from some early observations of changes occurring in sour milk curd which was accidentally stored MASSEY-FERGUSON TRACTORS TRY OUT THE MF Hardiest tractor in 3 - plow farming.

In any event we know from references in the Old Test- ament and the writings of early Greek and Roman historians that cheese is one of the old- est products made from milk. The introduction of cheese - making in this early period, when communities were isola- ted, accounts in part for the large number of types and vari- eties that have been produced. Certain countries and even sections of countries became known for the production of special varieties of cheese. Thus, today, we associate Roquefort with France, Edam with Holland, Limburger with Belgium and Cheddar with Eng- land, although these varieties are now made in many other countries.

Thrift Is Still a Virtue, Annual Meeting Is Told The dangers in carrying pre- sent-day credit buying to an extreme and the need to main- tain a balance between saving and spending without money was emphasized by W. H. Greg- ory, Chairman of the Board, at the annual meeting of British Mortgage & Trust Company held last week at the head of- fice of the company in Strat- ford. Mr. Gregory commented on the public's attitude toward saving today as compared with that of sotnc years ago. "At one titnc people were exhorted to save," he said. "Now they are being told how easy it is to spend without money. It is true that credit spending helps husitiess and employment, but a careful halancc should he oba served." "Such warnings are trot like- ly to change the present econ- omic habits," Mr. Gregory felt. "Even King Canute could not stop the tide", he said "and t del not expect any words of mine. to ha ve arty mod i fy i ng effect on the trends of today, All 1 venture to suggest is that caution be not cast to the winds Those or us who caste through the Depression of the thirties still spell it with a capital"D" and we want to avoid all chance of a recurrence." Mr. Gregory telt that the wide -spread effect of mortgage losses is not fully realized by the public. "It should be under- stood." nderstood," he said, "that mortgage losses do not affect the investor alone. If they occur with un- due frequency, real estate prices fall, mortgage money becomes scarce and the econ- omy is depressed. The ensuing restriction of credit completes the deplorable circle. Every- body loses - the lender, the borrower and that innocent by- stander, the general public." The Company is planning no additional expansion in the immediate future.
