Some Good News
IT IS GOOD NEWS for the farmers of
anada that . the authorities will allow bacon
be shipped to the United States for the
het time in a decade.
In this way, decline of the market in the
ni'ted Kingdom may be offset to some extent,
nd\ Canadian agriculture — and the .people
enerally— will benefit.
The industry likely will be told within a
ay or two that export permits will be made
vailable for shipment of surplus smoked or
d pork 'to the United States. This includes
aeon. The permits, to be made available
gh the Trade Department, will not cover
hipments of fresh pork, or whole pigs either
n live or dressed form.
This change in policy :to gradually re -
pen' the U.S. market for Canadian bacon—
ollows the recent announcement that the U.K.
buy only 60,000,000 pounds of top-quality
eon from Canada this year at a reduced price
29 cents a pound. —
Last year Canada sold the U.K. 100,000,000
ounds of grade A Wiltshire at 36 cents a
ound. The drop in price sparked demands
at the federal government reopen the U.S.
arket. That market was 'closed early in the
ecoid World War when the U.K, placed con-
ets for the shipment of as much as '700,000,-
00
00,000,00 pounds of Canadian bacon in one year,
For The Farmers!
Both the United States and Canada erected
barriers against the movement of pork pro-
duats between the two countries, Through these
barriers trickled a little U.S. fat -hack bacon
to fill demands in Newfoundland and some
lumber camps in Ontario and Quebec.
Canada sent a few shipments of canned
ham to the United States, but throughout the
war and post-war years by. far the largest
part of her pork surpluses went to the U.K..
Recently the United States, with .a large
surplus' of standard -quality pork, has been try-
ing to increase' its market in Canada, and the
embargo against the U.S. ' product worked to
the advantage of Canadian producers. The
U.S. product would have sold at a lower price
in Canada than the Canadian product.
- A U.S. agricultural expert said lifting of
the embargoes would have advantages for both
countries.
Canada concentrates on production of top-
quality 'bacon; the United States on a more
modestly priced product.
It appeared likely that Canada therefore
would have a big market in the United States
for her top-quality product, catering to a trade
that likes and can afford quality bacon. The
United States would be able to absorb that
part of the Canadian market 'that can only
afford a more modestly priced product.
The Way To
HALF THE PEOPLE say that 1950 wilt
e a worse year than 1949, end half say that
will be as good or better. In a little more
an eleven months, half the people will have
n proved right or wrong, remarks The
rinted Word.
The King James version has it that one
ould take no thought of the morrow; "for
e morrow shell take thought of things for
elf" But maybe the translator might have
een more accurate if he had intimated that
ver -anxiety is the sin. A lot of planning is
ecessary for tomorrow's breakfast, as Zola
urinated when he considered the egg that
ppeared on his plate. Yet the bachelor who
vests marriage beoause he doubts his ability
provide college careers for his children, if
Succeed In 1950
any, is as likely to' starve as the man who
contracts for more life insurance than his cur-
rent income justifies.
The man who gets places probably is the
feillow'who plans to serve his present customers
so well that they will continue to be his
customers in the near and distant future. In
serving a customer well, a business will do
whatever is necessary in the way of new in-
ventory, new buildings, new equipment, new
staff.
In fact, the motto for the 1950 business
men might well be to stay in business actively,
being neither bowed with caution nor exalted
with optimism. After all, the greatest de-
pression in living memory followed a , period
of optimism.
Great Need For Bibles
FACING A WORLD-WIDE SHORTAGE of
cripture and what it calls a "spiritual emerg-
y" the British and Foreign Bible Society
London, England, has asked its Auxiliaries
oughout the world to make known to
hristi•an people not 'only the great need but
so the unparalleled opportunities which con-
t it. It points out that the bewilderment and
pelessness which fill the minds of multitudes
people provide a unique opportunity for the
stributton of Holy Scripture—the revealed
i1 of the Eternal God,
With translations of Scripture into over
,000 languages and scores of million copies
reulated each year, it still is true that there
re over 1,00,0' languages into which no word
of Scripture has yet been s translated, and a
thousand million of •the earth's inhabitants
have never heard of Christ, It Is an un-
utterable tragedy, says the Bible Society, that
in this day of priceless opportunity it should
stand ill-equipped and largely impotent—its
resources unequal to its tasks. It calls upon
all people of good will to come 'to its assist-
ance in order that in the day of his desperate
need man may have the divine Word of God.
The Canadian Auxiliaries have been ask-
ed to make every, effort to ease the burden
so long carried by the great parent Society.
There are 3.470 branches of the Society.
throughout Canada, and every branch is asked
to do its best in its support of this great
world-wide Christian undertaking,

1843, the Hon. Francis Hincks,

er of' amendments which two
ears' experience of the work -

Dr. Egerton Ryerson
But although the foundation of

of Messrs. Harrison and Hincks,
the success of its working, the

Rev. ' Egerton Ryerson, 'D. D.,
w nose name for more than half
a century has been a household

Dr. Ryerson was beyond a
doubt the best fitted man in all
Canada to deal with the intricate
problem of public instruction as
he found it in 1844, on his ap-
pointment to the office of Assist-
ant Superintendent of Education
for Upper Canada. Such was h s
