The Brussels Post, 1950-1-18, Page 2The King Laughed
And Forgave Him
Charles the Second was not dub-
bed The Merry, Monaroh for noth-
ing, There was nothing he liked
better than a good pun and he eonld
give as much as he took.
It was Charles' sense of humour
that brought the Earl of Rochester
hack into favour, after he had fallen
from grace, He was continually
snubbed by the King and his court-
iers but refused to leave the Court
and bury 'himself in the country.
One day he sauntered into a gar-
den where the King was entertain-
ing. Charles did not see him and
was replying to someone who had
lieen praising the Royal kindness of
heart.
"The King," said Charles, "should
be the father of his people."
Quick as a flash came the voice of
Rochester from behind him: "But
surely, sire, not all of theml"•
For a moment there was silence
and Rochester's face hung in the
balance. Then the Ring threw back
his head and roared with laughter.
Rochester was forgiven.
Charles Lamb was very fond of
punning, although, with one prize
exception, his puns were not of the
best. He had a verbal fight with a
tax collector whose name was Win-
ter. Describing the argument, he
acid:
"His name be Winter but his
'methods are summary!"
'rhe putts that come out, like an
aotor's line, right on the cue, are
always the best. A certain musician
bad annoyed the great Sir Arthur
Sullivan by playing a wrong note.
Taken to task for it, he excused
himself by saying he had mistaken
ibe note owing to the fact that
someone had squashed a bee on the
store. •
"Then you should have played it
as a bee -flat!" retorted Sullivan.
It was a theatre critic who over-
heard that a young actress, famous
for her affairs with wealthy men,
was thinking of accepting a part in
n Shakespearean production. Some-
one asked what part she would play
and the critic resorted: "First gold-
digger, I expect!"
Sydney Smith's famous pun was
unintentional. He was chairman at
a meeting where one of the speak-
ers was a missionary, soon to go out
to a cannibal country. "I hope you
will agree with the natives," Sydney
'Smith said.
Flotsam was responsible for an-
other good one. A friend of his who
was a doctor, bought a large house
in the country and admitted he
could not think of a really suitable
name for it. "Why not call it Bed-
side Manor?" suggested Flotsam.
At least one pun has achieved im-
mortality, although the author of it
is unknown. He was referring to the
new-fangled motor -car, and said
that it divided the world into two—
the quick and the dead.
SWISS PRESIDENT —ll,'.
Max E. Petitpierre has been
elected to succeed Ernst Nobs at
the head of the Swiss Confeder-
ation. The new president, pic-
tured In his office in Berne, has
the formal status of prime min-
ister and his period of office is
one year. Dr. Petitpierre is a
member of the Radical-Demo-
erstie Party. —
Zealous Scouts
When a Scoutmaster asked his
boys whether or not each had done
Ids good deed for the day, three
:members admitted they hadn't, •
"In that ease,' they were told,
"leave this meeting and don't re-
, turn until you've lived np to our
motto of one good deed a day."
Half an hour later the boys re -
fawned, dishevelled and flushed,
"I did my good deed, sir," the
Ord scout said. "I helped an old
lady cross the street." "Me, too,"
added the second, "I helped the
• same old lady cross the street." "So
did I,' chimed in the third member.
"Do you mean," the Scoutmaster
demanded. "that it took three of
you to, help one old lady cross the
street?
The spul:eehl:trl for the trio low -
erect his head,
"Yes," he replied. "You see, sir,
she old lady didn't want to erose the.
Street."

Fairly encouraging was the news
}brought to Phe Central Ontario
Cheesemakers Association in an
address by Dr. H. A, Derby, Chief
of Marketing and Merchandising of
Dairy Products for the Dominion
Department of Agriculture. Dr.
Denby had recently returned from
Ctrip to the International Dairy
ongress, held at Stockholm, and,
while on bhe other side of the pond,
had visited various distributing
centres in the United Kingdom
where cheeses from Canada, the
United States, Australia and New
Zealand are stored.
* * *
Canadian cheese has built up a
favourable reputation over there,
he said, in a market which may
well be esepected to take move of
our cheese in future—bet only 1f
the quality and price are O.K, and
If we can assure the buyers of a
continuity of supply.
* * .5
The farm cheese industry in the
United Kingdom has declined until
now it is only about a quarter of
its pre-war peak. This is partly
because of the dri.ft away from
fanrns of the young folks who ordin-
arily would make the produot, and
also because of the big demand
for fluid milk over there.
* * *
When the figures are all in Bri-
tish production of cheese for the
year just ended is expected to be
around 56 million pounds, or about
one-half of pre-war production; and
of that amount not more than ten
or fifteen per cent would be of
farm production,
* * *
Only two types of cheese—
Cheddar and Cheshrewere mann-
foamed in any real quantities; and
these two only when surplus milk
was available. So that, all in all,
domestic production was only a
small part of the total British re-
quirement of something like 408
million pounds,
* * *
In 194$ The United Kingdom im-
ported slightly more than 352 mil-
lion pounds of cheese, as compared
with 328 million pounds during the
pre-war year of 1938, Before the
war consumption was nine pounds
per person, and this rose to. 14
pounds during the war. At present
consumption is down to about 634
pounds, on the basis of a ration
amounting to 2 ounces weekly per
person. So it is easy to see that
if the British ever get back to
anything like their former cheese.
eating habits, they're going to need
a whole lot of tonnage from some-
where—and a large part of it night
well be from here,
* * *
But, according to Dr. Derby,
there are a few things that will -
need to have our attention if we
are to cut in on this great poten-
tial cheese market to any vastly
increased extent.
* * *
For one thing he found, from
actual inspection, that the break-
age of boxes is a matter of serious
concern to the Canadian cheese
trade. The headings in our cheese
boxes also need attention, as many
were seen that were very rough
in finish, and showing bark. He
said that steps have already been
taken by the Department of Agri-
culture to enforce more strictly the
regulations under the Dairy In-
dustry Act under which the veneer
in cheese boxes must be not less
than one-fifth of an inch in thick-
ness. And next season ail cheese
intended for export will require
double. rather than single wiring.
While on the other side he heard
frequent complaints about Cana-
dian cheeses being too heavy. Some
of chose exported weighed 112
pounds. The United Kingdom trade
does not want cheese weighing
more than 90 pounds, and would
even prefer them five pounds
lighter than that for easier hand-
ling.
•
Another beef was about our
cheeses being too large for the
boxes they're packed in. This
onuses them to go short on proper
ventilation with resulting excessive
mould growth, dampness anti faulty
rind formation.
* s 3
•
Many Canadian cheeses exam-
ined, boxed as described, were
found spongy when pressed with
the thumb, in decided contrast to
those from New Zealand, in the
open crate. These latter showed
some slight mould, but were very
firm and dry.
* * a
In addition, with cheese packed
as tightly as ours, it is almost im-
possible to remove the box with-
out breakage. This is particularly
so when the cheese is higher than
the box, and the contents. get
squashed from piling. The trade
feel, and rightly so, that the top
of the cheese should conte below
the top of the side of the box, so
that when the cheese are turned,
the ends will be ventilated,
* * *
Examinations of Canadian cheese
for quality found that, on the whole,
the original grade was pretty well
maintained on flavour. There was,
however, some complaints of de-
fects, presumably caused by heat-
ing, and these complitints are being
studied by the Department, with a
view to eliminating the cause,

After a lot of argument, in which
considerably more heat Phan light
was generated, the burghers of
Toronto, by a small majority, have
decided in favor of Sunday Sports.
Now, before the Provincial Leg-
islature gives the go-ahead signal,
it might be mildly interesting to
speculate on just what lovers Of
athletics, and in what branches of
thereof, will attempt to cut in on
the promised jackpot,
"The Whatzis Theatre should do
all right," said a friend of our the
morning after the balloting, naming
a certain Toronto Temple of Art
where a line of show girls, very
lightly bandaged, forms the regular
piece de resistance, or main dish
as we say in that dear France.
* Y
We looked at hitt in mild amaze-
ment and inquired just where the
W'hatzis Theatre could possibly
figure in a purely sports picture.
"Simple enough," quoth our friend.
"All they got to do is stage a bout
between a couple of these dime -a -
dozen wrestlers. That would make
it an athletic event. Then there'd
be nothing to prevent them tossing
in their regular show for free,
would there?"
* * *
And maybe he has an idea there,
at that. Searching through the wel-
ter of memory we seem to recall
that the first modern or "all -in"
wrestling we ever witnessed was at
a burlesque house entitled the Star
Theatre in that sante city of Tor-
onto, more years ago than we'd
!hose who attempt to control said
sports are going to run tip against,
*
'For instance, if it's OK to
charge money to see a baseball
game, why will it be sinful to
show a• teleca,t or movie of the
sante or P. similar game, at a price?)
* 1 n
One of the never-ending chores
in this .sports writing business is
that of picking out, for the readers'
edification, the outstanding events
of the year. ft is a chore licit
like milking the cows or cleaning
out the horse stable 011 the farm—
you no sooner get it over with
than it's there to do again.
* * *
And it is • a chore 'which we
personally try to dodge, partly
through slot], and partly because
there isn't much sense in doing
what so many others are bound to
do better, But for 'once we are
going to get well ahead with the
job. So here and now, fifty or so
weeks ahead of the deadline, we
opine that the finest football game
--United States brand, that is—of
Anno Domini 1950 was the one
played on January Second of that
year out in Pasadena, California.
* *
Naturally', old Father Time may
prove es to be wrong, as the old
rascal often has before. But, al-
though we have never been a great
admirer of American football, if
a better game than that between
the California Golden Bears and
the Ohio State Buokeyes happens
to conte up, we should greatly like
to be among those personally press
British Challenger — Top -class racing driver Raymond Mays
speeds in his British racing motor car during speed trials at
Folkingham, England, airfield. The car, made from parts as-
sembled by over a hundred British firms, has been designed to
secure world supremacy with an expected speed of 200 m.p.h.
readily admit. Of course, in those
days, .the wrestling was just an
added attraction, with the hoofers
and strippers constituting the main
event. But it night work equally
well, or badly, the other way
around,
* * .
"My wife is just aching to know
when then, big Sunday Bingoes
are going to start," said another
gent with whom we discussed the
situation and prospects. "That's the
'Thing she's fondest of, next to
bawling me out from coining hone
late to dinner, and she can't hardly
wait to get into action."
* * *
Here again we expressed a meas-
ure of surprise, "But Bingo," we
objected, "can hardly be classed as
an athletic event" It is the way
my wife plays itl" replied our
friend. "011, brother, any time she
mattes Bingo and starts waving her
arms in the air, the folks on both
sides of her take more real punish-
ment than Joe Louis has handed
out in his last eight bouts."
* * *
But enough, for'the present, re-
garding a subject that has been
thrashed out sufficiently, in the
press and over the air, during re-
cent weeks, and that is liable to
receive plenty more flailing before
it's all finally settled, But we do
take the liberty of thinking that
even those most strongly in favor
of Sunday sports, are going to be
a trifle astonished as to how many
different and unexpected angles
ent, rather than take it via radio,
as we did the one we are writing
abort.

For that New Tears tangle ap-
peared to have just about every-
thing; plenty of action—mixture of
plays—shifting of lead—suspense
right clown to the dying moments
—with enough miscues and fumbles
to make you feel that it was human
beings playing, not a bunch of
'l'arzans and Supermen,

And, from the listener's stand-
point, it had the immense advan-
tage of being described by a broad-
caster who didn't try to stake you

or that Joe Stalin had been assas-
sinated, every time one team

Besides, that game gave tis one.
of our rare moments of personal
triumph. Someone w:ho was list-

Ohio described as the "Buckeye

what is a buckeye. And we hap-
pened to know, and remenber,'the
correct answer. We wonder how

or less than what we rude Cana-
