I have always been' intrigued
by the name Srhith, Although it
is a notoriously common name, so
much so that John Smith has
come to represent the average
man, it is a name fully clothed
in accomplishment. The Smiths
have been preachers, writers,
teachers, reformers, generals, pat-
riots and explorers, and how the,
Joneses ever exceeded their social
standing is beyond comprehension.
On doubtful authority I am told
that at one time back in the first
ages of rational man all people
Butter Support
May Reduce
Unemployment
News that the support price for
butter would be continued for an-
other year was hailed by officials
of the Ontario Cream Producers'
Marketing Board as a contribu-
tion to reducing unemployment in
Canada.
In recent months, farmers who
produce cream (and there are
60,000 of therri in Ontario) have
been uncertain about the future
and, as a result, have been cau-
tious in the matter of making
purchases..
"Now that they are assured of a
minimum price for butter for an-
other year,".said W. B. Hotson, St.
Marys, "farmers will be able to go
ahead and buy at least some of the
things they need."
This, he felt, was almost certain
to be reflected in urban emplOY-
ment rolls, since farm purchases
cover just about every type, of
industry.
"It's particularly important now,
with spring here," he said, "farm-
ers will need new parts, new ma-
chinery and new attachments.
Many of them, who depend on
their cream cheques to take up
the income slack, will now be able
to make the necessary prepara-
tions for spring work."
And many a city worker, at a
result, will be assured of employ-
ment during the year ahead.

were known as Smith. Some wer
identified with, their trades a
Silversmiths and Goldsmiths. Som
were known by their agility a
Quieksmith, and other by thei
size as Littlesmith. As time Wen
on, 'arid •the purity of the -nam
.was at stake, horse thieves an
social outcasts were given •othe
names to set them apart frcirn th
main stern,. At that juncture
suspect the Browns and White
came into being.
Of course, this version cam
from a man named Smith, who
claims that the only unblighte
members of the race today are
the plain Smiths. While such
places as Smithfield, Smithtown
and Smithville — and there are
legions of them—may not complain
over this explanation, the Na
smiths, Smithons, Ladysmiths
Cowper -Smiths and Mayo-'Smiths
will be expected to disagree,
However, there are probably
more Smiths in the Who's Who
books than any others. This is
not even counting the Smyths
and Smythes. • •
There was Adam •Smith, the
Scotsman who wrote the great
book on economics, "Wealth of
Nations". There was John Smith,
who was saved from death by
Pocahontas; and Donald Smith
(Lord Strathcona) vvho drove the
last spike—reputed to have been
a golden one—in the Canadian
Pacific Railway.. And, of course,
there was Al Smith, the fish ped-
dler who became governor of New
York; Goldwin Smith, the great
educator; F. E. Smith (the Earl
of Birkenhead), the British jurist;
Nathan Smith, who founded the
medical school at Yale; Samuel
Smith,' wild wrote the American
national hymn,. "America"; Sidney
Smith, tie English clergyman and
humorist; William Robertson
Smith, editor of Britannica En-
cyclopedia, arid Walter Bedell
Smith, the contemporary American
general who wrote "My Three
Years in Moscow" in 1950.
Not to be excluded from this
memorable list is the name of
Capt, Smith who was skipper of
h
ti' Titanic; L. C. Smith, whose
arae is identified With typewrit-
rS, W. H. Smith, who opened his
tit railroad bookstall in England
n 1848, and, of course, those
leasant old gentlemen, the Smith
real:, who have produced cough -
drops for the millions.
There was also Joseph Smith,
he frentiersboy who founded the
hureh of Jesus Christ of the Lat-
er Day, Saints, who -wrote the
ook of Mormon (pUblished in
829) from a series of visions, and
ho was murdered for his efforts
nd torn away from his many
wives by a mob in 1844.

Yes sir! Like Mary, it's a
giand old name.
It is disappointing that the
Ryerson Press, which i or 13 years
has conducted an all -Canada fic-
tion award contest, was unable in
1954 to find a ,manuscript of suf-
ficient calibre to warrant the prize.
Canadians are often prone to la-
ment the lack of facilities and op-
portunities for native writers, but
the opportunity does exist, at least
in this instance, for a writer to
beconie almost famous, in his own
country. Yet, *in 12 full months,
not a single writer came mit with
a book good enough for the 81,000
offered by Ryerson.
However, it is good to know
that Ryerson intends to maintain
its standard. We may want our
authors to succeed—as many of
'them have, like Mazo de la Roche,
Gabrielle Roy, Lionel Shapiro,
Thomas Ei. Costain and Thomas
Redden — but- it is better that
none of them be acclaimed than
to lower the level just to appease
national vanity.
The 14th award has been An -

flounced, and aspiring writers,
both those who are established
and those who are unknown, have .
until January 1, 1956, to submit

Evelyn Richardson, by the way;„
is working on anoth'er book on
lonely Bon Portage Island off the,
southwest coast of, Nova Scotia,
where she and her husband have
kept the light for 25 years. Two:. '
of her novels, "We keep, a Light"'
and 'Desired Haven" were .Rydr-
son winners,
The man who broke open the -
Russian spy ring in Canada has. ,
won the Governor General's Award; •
for his "Fall of a Titan", and if
that may be rightly called "Can-
adian" literature; perhaps the in-
dications of the Ryerson no -award:
decision aren't as bad as they -
seem. In this regard, David Walk-
er, a Scotsman who has chosen St.
Andrew's, N.B., as his home, is.:
also working on a new book. So.
perhaps 1955 will be a better lit-
erary year for Canada.
