Fair was established. They have
been able to establish with certainty
tlta.t it has run a course of 76 conse-
cutive years, through good times and
bail, through foul weather and fair.
It may have been established before
that time, The Hoard would be hap-
py to have any further inforntalio t
from anyone with references to the
Fair before 1875. The Standard knows
of one gentleman, 31r, Thomas Millar
of Londcsboro, \who can boast of mis-

years, That dates back to the time
he was a very small boy.
So until someone comes up with
information beyond the slate of 1875,

advance in age from the 76th year on.

HOW CAN 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I remove mildew
that has formed on .shoes which
have not been worn for a long
time?
A, Rub the shots with petroleum)
ointment. After a little rubbing, the
marks will disappear.
* * *
Q. How can I clean straw mat-
ting effectively?
A. Wash the matting with a
cloth dampened in hot salt water
(a handful of salt to a pailful
of hot water); wash only a small
space at a time and wipe dry at
once. This also prevents the mat-
ting from turning yellow,

Q. How can 1 whiten yellow and
dingy -looking clothes?

a cup of equal parts of limewater
and turpentine, shaken until creamy,
has been added.

Q. What ' are some of the uses
of salt, other than as a seasoning?
A. Salt water is efccelleut as a
throat gargle. It is also an effec-
tive spray for catarrhal infections,
Salt is a wonderful tooth powder

gums more firm. Salt used gener-
ously in the water will both cool
and rest tired feet.

INGERFARM
eV GwQ,ti.dolt.n¢. 0 Cl&rk.2
Well, we have had two more new
experiences at Ginger Farm—one
was the arrival of a pure white calf,
\Vc have had calves with various •
markings through the years but
never before have we had one that
was entirely white, The mother is
a Durham roan, the father we have
never seen as he lives at Maple but
we have since been told that he was
almost white. It is a wise calf that
knows its own father these days.
Our other experience was having
the house insulated—and this, I
think, will create more interest
than the white calf. Probably some
of you people have already had
your tense insulated but I expect
there are a greater number who,
like ourselves, have wondered—"Is
it worthwhile?" Or Maybe you have
thought if insulating is necessary
you might be just as far ahead to
buy bats and lay between the raf-
ters. These were things we had
often wondered but since we watch-
ed otir nun at work we think we
know the answers—anti already we
are getting results ... the house is
cooler.
Maybe you would -like to know
just what is done on this insula-
ting job. Well, the truck conics
along with three or four men and
all their equipment. The truck is
parked somewhere near the house
and the hose brought through 'a
door or window or else through au
stir -vent in the roof, 0nc man in-
side the truck plucks the wool into
smaller pieces into a big tray or
vat. 1 said it looked as if Mother
Goose had been plucking her fcath•
ers. The %wool is sucked up by oto•
tor power and blown through the
hose into the attic where sten are
on hand to direct it where it should
go. Every nook and cranny is fill-
ed with insulating wool—which, by
the way, is absolutely fireproof.
Von can't even burn it in the stove
even if you try. The wool is laid
to a depth of 4 inches. As the men
work they watch for possible open
partitions—and they usually find a
few in old houses. These draught
catchers—or furring strips, to give
them their right name—are then
scaled and the wool goes over the
top of therm. Any entries into the
attic such as small doors or trap-
doors are lined with wool baits,
Ventilators are let into the roof
above the insulation. The number of
vents depends upon the size of the
house . , . we had two. All outside
floors arc caulked along the outside
edges and weather•stripped ori the
inside.
Now here is something that
should interest the women -folk. If
the job is clone by c:.perienced
workmen there is absolutely no
dust or confusion. The men are in
the' house very little so, you can
carry on with your ordinary work.
The job does not take very long.
Our men started to work about 4:30
one afternoon and were throught •
about the sane time the next day.
And then the "boss" cams along
to check over the job. I don't think
we had better workmen on any job.
They were nice, obliging fellows
. . 'they didn't rush things but
neither did they waste any time
. and each man brought his own
lunchl
Well, that is about all I can tell
you without being guilty of adver-
tising. Later on, when we have had
a chance to test our insulation in
chilly weather, 1 shall be glad to
pass on any information as to the
result t� anyone who cares to write
for further particulars. i3uti t1, word
of warning .• , don't give an order
to any insulating company without
slaking a few inquiries—that is, if
)'Ott don't know anything about
then!, 'There arc rackets in this
just as in other jobs. Your local
bank manager or Better Business
Bureau in Toronto can advise you
as to the reliability of any man or
company who solicits your order.
1 wouldn't like you to have your
house insulated because of anything
I have said—and then find you had
been taken for a ride,
And now let ole take you 011 a
trip. 13ob was home for the week-
end then took us over to Maple
where he is operating a power -
shovel for one of the construction
companies who arc building the new
highway to Barrie, Really these
super -highways are almost frighten-
ing—the project is so immense, We
saw the much talked about clover-
leaf at Wilson Avenue—but a 'long
way fronn being finished, There
was another clover -leaf, at present
nameless, and also an overpass. Al-
ong the sides of the highway, where
paving has been 'completed, trees
and shrubs have already been plant-
ed—after the style of the Queen
Elizabeth, 0f course this new high-
way is not actually open to traffic.
Anyone using it does so at his own
risk, Bob mentioned one fellow who
drove 4 miles along a freshly laid
strip of concrete, He didn't get
stuck but I wonder what happened
to his tyres!
Oh—oh . more work—here
comes the baling machine!
ll)'OAY SCllOOL
LESSON
By Rev, R. B, Warren, B. A., B. D.
FELLOWSHIP IN THE
CHURCH
Matthew 18:15-20; Acts 4:31-37;
Philippians 1:27-2:11; - John 3:14-
24.
Metnory Selection : Hereby per-
ceive we the love of God, because
he laid down his life for us: and we
ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. 1 John 3:16. .
The church at Philippi, to whorl
this lesson was written was born in
a prison with bleeding backs "at
ISSUE 36 — 19,51
Midnight I'atll and Silas prayed,
and sung praises unto lied: and the
Prisoners heard them." Acts 1ti:25.
The jailer was converted. Now Paul
is•writing from prison in Nome. 11e
recognizes that suffering, rather
than destroying the Church, can
foster and strengthen its fellowship.
Bob i'ierce used Paul's words to
good account in speaking to the
South Koreans last 1)ccember,
]Hiow 'comforting was the exhorta-
tion, ''In nothing terrified by your
adversaries: which is to them an
evident token of perdition, but to
you of salvation, and that of God,
For unto you it is given in the be-
half of Christ, not only to believe
on him, but also to suffer for his
sake." .
Fellowship is marred by one
acting in strife or seeking glory
for himself. If we are humble,
esteeming others above ourselves
and putting the interest of others
before our Own, fellowship will
deepen,
'lite great example set before us
is Christ Himself, 'Though equal
•twirl God, Ile took the lowest place,
going to the cross, But now I -ie is
exalted. The way to honour, is
humility. As we follow the example
of Christ, fellowship in the church
glows.
1t is notewort11 that missionaries
from various denominations have a
warmer fellowship than ministers in
their homeland. The great obstacles
of paganism which they face in
common helps them to forget the
minor differences which exists
among them, In the homeland we
have too much regard for differ-
ences and not enough for the com-
mon foe. Should the advances of
communism becomes more dang-
erous, ministers here will doubtless
draw closer together. We can have
fellowship without union, It is also
true that we can have organic
union without unity. Let our first
objective be unity and fellowship.
And the
RELIEF IS LASTING
For fast, prolonged relief frons

prescription -like tablet contains not
just one, but three proven medical
ingredients that ease the pain fast.
And the relief is, in most cases, lasting.
Try INSTANTINE just once for pains
relief and you'll say as thousand' du
that there's one thing for headache
.. it's INSTANTINEI
And try INSTANTINE for other
aches, too ... for neuritic or neuralgia
pain ... or for the pains and aches
that accompany a cold. A single tablet
usually brings
prompt relief.

Our Indians Did
Marvellous Weaving
The basic principle of weaving is
the same everywhere. There must
he a warp and woof or weft, which
le woven through the warp to form
+ textile, Also there must inevitably
be a frame or loom upon which to
String the warp and to hold the
threads in place while the weft is
woven through it . ,
To the customary warp and woof
the Indian weavers added a distinc-
tive technique, which was rarely
11 ever elsewhere to be observed.,
They employed a variety of bast
fibers (various vegetable fibers) plus
hairs of certain animals, skins and
furs of animals and plumage of
birds, These were added to the
m o r e conventional foundation
threads for woven material of linen,
wool and cotton. From all these
added materials unusually lovely
fabrics were evolved.
Some of the oldest known ex-
amples of American Indian weav-
ing are reputed to be finer than
those found in any other place in
the world. They even surpassed the
textiles woven by the highly skilled
Coptic weavers of ancient Egypt,
whose work has long been celebrat-
ed for its marvellous technique.
We do not generally realize that
these tribes of American Indians
were as widely different in ideas
and customs of living as were the
nations of Europe. In terms of
handicraft there were weaving tribes
send non -weaving tribes. As a rule
those Indians who shaped the skins
of animals for their coverings did
not do weaving. Solite of them were
almost exclusively devoted to such
occupations as hunting and fishing,
while others spent their time at
.farming. The Navajo people of our
southwest have won chief fame
among all the North American
tribes as weavers.
The first Navajo blankets were
made to wear over the shoulders.
They were woven in simple dark
and light stripes of natural -colored
wool. A hundred years ago the
nimple stripes were broken by zig-
zag lines making a design known as
the "terrace. pattern." In the main,
the technique of weaving Navajo
patterns was to work directly on
the warp as the actual weft, by
using the darning type of stitch.
Some twenty years later the .In-
dians tired of these patterns and
introduced diamond designs,
The Indians were particularly at-
tracted to bright red, and, when the
Spaniards carne, traded anything
they had for a bit of . red baize.
This fabric was like billiard table
cloth and is thought to have been
part of the Spanish uniform. The
Indians patiently unraveled this
baize and then wove it into their
textiles, The dye must have been
excellent since these early "bay -
eta" (red) blankets have never lost
their rich color, and collectors prize
them highly. Later the Navajos
found out how to make other colors
from native roots and barks, and
were given indigo with which to
produce blue,
,fust as the Navajo "rugs" were
really blankets, so, foo, up to about
1800 people both Indian and non -
Indian who spoke of rugs oddly
enough did not refer to floor cov-
erings.lVhen the early records men-
tioned rugs, they were referring,to
any coarse heavy wool fabrics, such
as bed covers, chimney cloths, win-
dow -sill covers or more likely table
covers. Only if called a floor rug,
or clearly described) as for a bed -
nide or floor, can one be sure that ,
the rug in the inventory has our
modern connotation, — From "Am-
erican Rugc," by Estelle H. Ries.
For thirty years a parrot in Maid-
stone, England, named I•Iarry had
been a prime favorite at the Bull

astonishment, harry laid an egg.

same time leaves the hands free for carrying packages is the ingenious invention of a manufac-

ORT
Old time followers of the Tor-
onto Maple Leaf baseball team
took more than ordinary interest
in the recent announcement that
Charley Gehringer h a d taken
charge of the front office of the
Detroit Tigers. For Gehringer, be-
fore moving up to the,, Big Time,
used to do his stuff• Iir;a Maple
Leaf uniform and,'in.d'r.:iyorthless
opinion, at least, was *kik-greatest
player that ever wor? one,
* * *
We would even be prepared to
argue— in fact HAVE argued—
that Charley was, in many ways,
the best second sacker of all time.
If he wasn't, you could count on
the toes of Long John Silver's
timber peg the number who top-
ped him, The trouble was that
Gehringer was too good for his
own or his team's financial wel-
fare, doing seemingly impossible
things so smoothly and with so
little fuss that nine fans out of
ten hardly noticed that he was
doing them,
* *
Making the hard ones look easy
—a thing which Gehringer excel-
led — may be all very well from
an artistic standpoint, but it does-
n't get you much top billing or
many headlines, In this connection
we always think of another Tor-
onto player of long ago—an out-
fielder bearing the striking name
'of Yencer Weidensaul.
* *
Yencer had the faculty of mis-
judging a fly ball by a far wider
margin than any outfielder we
have ever seen. But he was spry
on his feet, and was everlastingly
covering acres of ground, leaping
high into the air or diving into
the turf, and pulling off liliracu-
lous catches. The late Charley
Good, writing in the long defunct
Honor For Designer—During the Canadian International Stamp
September 21 to 29 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of
Exhibition, being held in the Automotive Buildinsj, Toronto, from
Government -issued postage stamps in Canada, a plaque will be
erected to the memory of Sir Sandford Fleminj, the man who
designed Canada's first stamp. Erected by the Canadian Phil.
tutelic Society on the exact site where the first stamp was designed
in 1851. The plaque will be unveiled by Sir John Wilson, Bart.,
C.V.O., Keeper of His Majesty King George VI's Philatelic Coltec.
tions. Pictured here with the plaque is V. G. Greene, president of
ihe Stamp Exhibition, and Sheila Watson, well known Ontario
model.
TORONTO NEWS, used to jok-
ingly dub him "Wonderful Weidy."
Readers took it seriously. The
name stuck; and most of the fans
who can remember far back, prob-
ably think of him as a ball hawk
of unsurpassed calibre, and prob-
ably wonder why he never caused
any sensation in the Big Leagues.
* * 4
- Charley Gehringer was the exact
opposite. He went about his busi-
ness with a minimum of fuss,
bother and noise. One player who
was his teammate for many years
said that Charley would say "How
are you" when he reported for
the season, "So long" when he
was packing his grips at the end
of it, and' that those five words
constituted the sum total, of his
conversation for the baseball year.
* rte te
That, undoubtedly, was an ex-
aggeration—but not such a great
one at that. Doc Cramer came
close to summing Charley up
when he cracked, "All you need
to deo is wind him up on opening
day and he runs on and on, doing
everything right without a mis-
take." * k *
Ty Cobb was manager of the
Tigers when . young Gehringer
broke in at Detroit, and one of
baseball's most widely circulated
stories is that Tyrus Raymond
pegged Charley as "good field, no
hit" and predicted that his stay
in the majors would he- a short
one,
4
The trouble is that the talc, like
so many sports stories, has no
truth in it. Cobb spent many a
long hour that first year working
on Gehringer in the batter's box.
He was instrumental in getting
Gehringer to change his style and
finally adopt the batting stance
which made him a .321 lifetime
hitter in the American League—
and as that 'lifetime" covered a
period of seventeen years, the
coaching must have been 'worth
while. i

Really "Ate
His Words"
Joseph Delunty of New York has
just eaten his own words. He
wrote a book on American foot-
ball tactics,: and made a bet that if
a local team did not win after stu-
dying his treatise he would eat it
page by page.
The team lost, so Joseph solemn-
ly tore up a copy of his book, boil
ed the pieces in a pan, added salt,
pepper and sauce to taste, and ate
the lot.
He must have heard about the
fanlomus French cookery expert,
Grimod de la Reyniere, who de-
clared that` one could eat anything
provided it was cooked properly.
To prove his point he prepared
a meal consisting of a ponderous
tome he had written, entitled "Man-
ual of Gastronomy," nixed up with
vegetables and sauces, Then he
sat down and had a good tuck in,
In the Soup
Thcadorc Reinking, a . philoso-
pher who lived in the 17th cen-
tury, also ate his own words—but
not very willingly, A book .jtc had
written had offended •King Chris-
tian IV of Denmark, so he was or-
dered to retract his remark§ by
eating the book.
He tore it up in small pieces and
stewed them in spup, 11e managed
to eat the concoction, and by do-
ing so escaped with his life, for
King Christian had threatened him
with execution if a single word of
the hook remained.
Not long ago a case was reported
in the "British 'Medical Journal"
concerning a child who would cat
nothing but paper. And in the
olden days a sovereign remedy for
rheumatics and asthma was a whole
page of the family Bible eaten and
washed down with water.

to make, and very, very fine to
taste, l'ou'd better plan to use it
within five months, however, as it
doesn't keep so well after that, But

doubt if your supply will last any-

The tansy that is seen in fern-
like clumps topped with' golden
buttons along country roads in
August and September was once a
respected garden occupant. - Early
settlers brought both the common
tansy (Tanacetuun vulgarO and its
curly -leaved variety '1'. crispunt
England to this country. Froth
those early gardens the two kinds
have spread into the wild.
Today tansy again is finding
favor hvitlt gardeners because of
its good foliage color and long-
lasting flowers, Plants remain
fresh -looking outdoors until long
after frost, It is too late, of course,
to do anything about having some
this year, but as 1 shall explain
farther on, you' can prepare for a
fine start for next season.
* * ' d:
Lt decorative arrangements the
finely cut pinnate leaves make a
splendid background for brilliant
blossoms or for leaves of lighter
green, The tall prim clusters of
tightly packed, rayless flower heads
hold up well after cutting. They
keep their color for a long time also
when dried, for winter bouquets,
For this purpose they are cut when
freshly 'opened and hung upside
down in loose bunches to shy,
* * *
Curly tansy is the more orna-
mental variety for the garden, It
does not flower as freely as Tana-
cetunt vulgar(, but the leaflets are
more finely cut and they are tightly
crisped, The two are also different
in leaf shape. On the common tansy
the leaves are three or four inches
long with the greatest width in the
middle. Curly tansy has longer,
wider leaves, irregularly shaped,
• httt broadest at the base, It does
not grow as tall as common tansy,
nor does it spread as rapidly by
stolons, •
d, * * •
]lout kinds have a rich chauto-
ntilelike scent which is refreshing.
This aroma helps to keep the water
in a vase of flowers such as mari-
golds or zinnias froth becoming
foal -smelling,
Apparently adaptable to sun or •
part shade, tansy is a long-lived,
hardy perennial, The curly vari-
ety adds beauty to the perennial
border, while the coarser type
stakes a useful background or
screen o.ut of bounds of the garden
proper.
4 * e
The common tansy can be grown
from seeds, which are best sown
in November, too late to germinate
i ythc fall but ready for, a licad
start in the spring. It, is,also prop-
agated by root divisions, These
can be made at any time of year
by chopping the underground
stems in pieces and planting them
like mint, Plants set two to three
feet apart will soots fill in the space
between them, If they, spread too
far afield the clumps can be kept to
size by spading around them in the
spring and sifting out 'the pieces of
root.
*
The tansy that is found growing
about old house foundations or on
road banks was one of the medici-
nal herbs known as "simples"
grown _ in home gardens of an
earlier day. It wads used both fresh
and dried for many household pur-
poses. The fresh leaves were spread
about the wire enclosures known as
"Meat safes" which were used in
houses in England before the day of
ice boxes and refrigerators, The
strong odor of the herb was sup-
posed to keep away ants and flies,
Even in a modern kitchen, tansy
leaves stuffed in the cracks •through
which ants gaits entrance about' a
door will discourage the insects,
• Tansy leaves have also been used
in the present day to stake bitters
liy steeping theta in whisky or
brandy,. The pungent flavor of all
parts of this plant, with Its flat,
round, butter yellow flowers, has
given tansy the occasional name of
"bitter buttons."

This might be an appropriate
time to remind you that much
of tife damage done to potatoes at
harvest time is caused by the dig-
ger—in fact one of, those'contrap-
tions, if not properly adjusted, may

by increasing padding on the de-
flectors and rods of the machin`
will reduce dantagc to a minimum.
* * 4:
The rate of travel of the digger,
says Allan Magee, Central Experi-
mental Farts, Ottawa, should not
exceed 1/ utiles per hour. This
reduces the bouncing of potatoes
against the elevator chain or any
stones that may have been picked
up.
* * *
Obviously the depth of the blade
should be below the potatoes but it
should also be deep enough to pro-
vide a soil cushion two-thirds of
the distance of the elevator to
protect the potatoes from the ele-
vator chain.
* *
The speed of the elevator chain
should not exceed 150 feet per min-
ute, Usually a tractor at half throt-
tle in low gear will' give •this con-
dition, 'T h e agitator sprockets

It takes plenty of time for the
lads who deal with statistics, to get
around to handing out the results
of their figuring, that is to say, we
read about what happened in 1950,
for instance, just about when 1951
is on its last legs, Still, for all that,
it is interesting to learn how our
co-operative businesses, and espe-
cially farmers' co-ops, have been
making out. And the dope is that
1950—which, incidentally, marked
a half -century of co-operative effort
in Canada—was a bumper year. .
* * *
Total business in 1950 at con-
siderably -over one billion dollars
($1,039,837,258) was the largest
ever transacted. Compared with
1949 it showed an increase of $38,4
million, The number of associations
at 2,951 increased by 314 and mem-
bership was up 118,177. In 1932, the
first year for which complete rec-
ords are available, total business
through 795 'associations amounted
to $145,303.
4' * *
Co-operative sales of farm' pro-
ducts made up $803,6 million of the
total; sales of merchandise such as
farm machinery, feed, and home
furnishings, amounted to $206 mil-
lion; sales of fish and fish products
atnounted to $13.8 million; and sales
of fishermen's supplies and mer-
chandise totalled $2,9 million. Iv[is- •
cellancous items made up the re-
mainder of this more than one
billion dollar business,
* * *
It is calculated that (luring the
twelve, months to July, 1950, co-
operatives marketed 35.2 per- cent
of the stain farm products that
were sold commercially. Omitting
grain and seed, in the marketing
of which co-operatives are very
active, still one-quarter of all farm
produce was handled by these or-
ganizations, Of individual products,
co-operatives sold 99.4 per cent of
the tobacco; 76.4 per cent of the
wool; 60,, 6 per cent of the grains;
35,8 per cent of the fruits and vege-
tables; 33 per cent. of the honey;
28.2 per cent of the maple pro-
ducts; 27.9 per cent of the dairy
products; and 15.3 per cent of the
poultry and 'eggs.
* 4: 4,
Merchandising co-operatives re-
ported an increase of $14 million
over their sales in 1949. The in-
creases were mainly in sales of
groceries, coal, wood and building
materials.
* * *
Of the 104 fishermen's associa-
tions reporting, the bulk arc in
Quebec and the Maritimes. But the
seven in British Columbia which
sold fish to the value of $7 million
accounted for just over half of the
total sales for all Canada.

During 1950 Canada's newest
province, Newfoundland, organized

Plans are under way to merge with

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" Celebrate,
One Hundredth Anniversary
It, was just 100 years ago this
summer That Ilarriet 11 e a c h e r
Stowe's "Uncle Tont's Cabin" be-
gan to rouse public sentiment on
the slavery issue, The Chicago
Historical Society of commemo-
rating the event with an exhibit
of book posters, early editions, and
other memorabilia,
Running serially in an obscure
abolitionist weekly, it started out
as a fictionalized treatise setting
forth the evils of the slavery as an
institution established by law. It
soon developed into one of the'
world's biggest sellers and biggest
stage hits of all time, stirred pub-
lic feeling to a fever pitch,. and
helped bring on the Civil War and
consequent abolition of slavery,
The exhibit was set up early this
summer, with the help of Museums
and individuals elsewhere, to corn=
mcntoratc this centennial of one of
the most influential books ever pub-
lished writes Bernice Stevens Deck-
er in The Christian Science Minitor,
Special Current Interest
Because tthe exhibit points 'up
the ardent public interest in and
reaction to slavery as portrayed. by
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," it has spe-
cial interest at this time of concern
over the race problem in the United
States. The recent Cicero riot near
here has emphasized this.
The exhibit is a "Chicago first"
presentation, Historical societies
and museums have regarded 1852
as the publication of the book,
However, it was first published
serially in the Nation Era, an anti-
slavery journal, with the first in-
stallment appearing on June 5, 1851.
A copy of this issue, scores of
first editions of the book its many
languages, a state tableau of Little
Eva and Uncle Tom, sheet music,
and flamboyant show bills featuring
bloodhounds, overseers' whips, and
a terror-stricken Eliza in the middle
of an ice -choked stream help make
up the exhibit,
In March, 1853, John P. Jewett
& Co, of Boston reluctantly brought
out the book in two volumes,
bound in black cloth. Only 5,000
copies were printed because anti-
slavery books did not sell. This
one, however, (aright on at once;
To meet the demand Jewett issued a
paper -bound one -volume edition
which sold for 37/ "cents.
Sales Zoom
Sales zoomed front 10,000 copies
to 50,000 to 100,000 to 300,000 be-
fore a year passed, The book was
blazoned on billjtoads and posters,
Hawked by boys its the streets.
Since it was not protected by copy-
right, other publishers' took it up
and 12 pirated editions appeared
within a year. •
Soon the subject touched the
public conscience everywhere and
foreign publishers had scores of
editions out within the year. Eng-
lish editions and one in Spanish,
"La Cabana Del Tio Tom," were
5,0
.,1
on the stands before the end of
1052. The year 1853 saw 'ransla••
tions in French; Lerman "Onklt•
'font's 1Jutic", Dutch; Italian; Dan.•
ish, and Welsh. `'Greek, Magyar,
Swedish and Norwegian editions
and even one out of serf - ridden
Russia followed.
:''J'he museum has an impressive
display of some 50 of these early
editions, nearly all from the col-
lection of T. Henry Foster of 01•
tuntwa, Iowa. There is the first
English edition with George Crulk-
shank's illustrations (in 13 paper -
covered parts), the English edition
of the sante year (1852) with trio
Leech illustrations, and aFreneh
edition with introduction by George
Sand. Most unusual is the Javanese
edition printed in Batavia.
Songe and Marches
Music publishers . brought out
songs and marches, print makers
put their artists to work on scenes
from the books. The American
theatre was just in the making,
and "Uncle Tout's Cabin," which
has been a perennial ever aim
its first chopped -out version, helped
to make it.
The first successful public Per-
formance was at Troy, N.Y., in the
fall of 1852, As many as three
rival companies were soots appear-
ing to packed houses in most major
cities.
Before it reached New York, it
was on the London circuit. In
Paris, "La Cace de L'Oncle Tont"
was presented in January, 1853, and
after that swept the continent.
In the U. S. A, ardent abolition-
ists had previously scorned the
theatre on moral grounds. Mrs,
Stowe, herself, did not approve,
But leaders like Horace Greeley and
William Lloyd Garrison saw in the
play a vehicle for their cause . Min-
isters began to recotnntend it from
their pulpits and attended with
their entire congregations on the
grounds it was a moral play.
Successful Revivals
People who have never been in-
side a theatre went to see it. Un-
lettered and uneducated seamen,
clock workers, and tradesmen wito
viewed it in lower New York, learn-
ed what they could not or did not
read in books or newspapers. Tho
cause at which abolitionists had
failed with pert and oratory was
taken up by the ordinary public,
Despite forecasts that an anti-
slavery play would no longer in-
terest the public, there was a
greater dramatic revival of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" than ever after the
Civil War. This accelerated
through the '80's and '90's and last-
ed well *into this century. It be-
came real theater with such stars
as David Belasco playing Uncle
Tom; Maude Adams, Little Eva,
and Lotta Crabtree, Topsy, It be-
came more and more significant as
as the first serious portrayal of the
Negro on the stage and paved the
way for later vehicles•
ettitt
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" was one of the greatest successes in publish-
ing history. This summer the Chicago Historical Society is present»
ing a centennial exhibit of first editions and early advertising
matter, including playbills. This poster from the Bella C. tarn•
dauer collection Society was printed as the American classis came
• toward the height of its popularity.

Special Notice to EpIoyers
AND
Those Enlisting in r ed Fords
By The Veterans Benefit Act, 1951, passed at the last session of
Parliament, the Government of Canada has extended and made
applicable the provisions of the Reinstatement in Civil Employment
Act, 1946, to all persons enlisting in the Regular Forces of Canada
after July 5, 1950, (nineteen fifty) and who serve therein for a term
not exceeding three years.
This provision extends also to members of the Special Force who
re-engage for service with the Regular Forces, the three-year coverage
period beginning with the date of re-engagement.
This provision extends also to members of the Reserve Forces who
after July 5, 1950, are called out for service with the Regular Forces
and serve with the Regular Forces for a period not exceeding three
years.
By an Order in Council passed in 1950 under the Canada Forces
Act the provisions of the Reinstatement in Civil Employment Act, 1946,
were extended to members of the Special Force and members of the
Reserve Forces who serve on the strength of the Special Force. The
reinstatement provisions of this Order in Council have now been
• incorporated in the provisions of the Veterans Benefit Act, 1951.
Under the Reinstatement in Civil Employment Act a
discharged person may claim reinstatement either verbally
or in writing, usually within three months of discharge In
Canada or four months if discharged overseas. There is
provision for extension of this time when through a condition
of health the employee cannot return tp his employment
this soon, but the employer must he notified in three or four
months, as the case may be, and a Reinstatement Officer
should be consulted.
