I wish I could go, on Christmas eve
To the hills of Bethlehem;
I wish, I could hear, as the shepherds did
Of peace and good will to men,
I wish I could see the angel throng
In the midnite sky above;
I wish I could rest in the healing rays
Oi: the wondrous Star of Lovc,
1 wish I could kneel in worship there
Whore the cattle and sheep are fed,
And lovingly smooth the fragrant hay
Of that lowly hanger bed.
I wish I could do soon service small
And there in that stable dim
By a gentle word or a loving deed
Perhaps win a smile from Him!
But, down the mists of the centuries
I hear his voice -- "Inasmuch as ye
Have done it unto one of the least of these
Ye have done It unto Me" --
And so at this blessed Christmastide
May I l,erve the children of men
And in doing so, I will also serve .
The Christ Child of Bethlehem!

Thirty -Five Cent
Boiled Dinners
It has just occurred to me
with something of a great sur-
prise that cookery, or whatever
is left of it, has lost its ingre-
dient which may be called
"cheapness," Cheapness, as used
In this connection, has no bear-
,ing on quality, and is not meant
to be a slur. Cheapness had
only to do with the price, now
called consumer cost, and it was
entirely possible for an entire
meal to be served to a family
of fourteen, and the hired man,
for 35c. Those days are, you
• see, gone forever.
It was possible for a good
took to feed her family the kind
ad ,things that stir up fond
memories and tears of gratitude
in later .times, and do it without
handling so much money that
the Federal Bank was embar-
rassed. There were cheap meals
that will be remembered more
than the famous Roman orgies,
but the sterling area,never knew
they got et.
The other day a neighbor
went to the store here and
bought a small chunk, or junk,
or corned beef, with which to
]ay down the broad pattern of
a boiled dinner and it cost her
23,45, By the time she invested in
the other things to accompany
this major expense, she had put
her family budget on the brink
of financial disaster. She ate
sparingly, and did not rightly
enjoy it.
This fiscal fact, stated so
swiftly above, is about as severe
an indictment against our social
and political system as you can
muster. The boiled dinner, be-
sides being a gustatory maneu-
ver of extreme magnificence
used to be something you could
tackle with the most stringent
monetary status. It was not a
major economic event.
Corned beef did not imply the
choicest cuts nearest the apex
or zenith, It was wholesome and
nutritious, but not high society.
And it was most of all symbolic,
Essential, yes, but indicative,
It was 'the starting point, the
fundamental beginning. Around
It you erected an opulence of
carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tur-
nips, beets, etc., until thepot-
Med, 'I'ti cbrned beef, it-
self, was nothing more than the
attention -arresting chord that
commences a symphony. And the
way things operated you had
the whole luscious commingling
without too much expense,
You could visit the gold and
Ivory mansions of the rich, and
sit with them amongst damask '
and mahogany, waited on by liv-
eried servants, and partake of
their silken Sarmacands with-
out feeling they ate any better
than you did. There wouldn't be
a thing their millions could as-
semble that would do the cul-
inary job of a small piece of
brisket and a peck of assorted
vegetables.
Furthermore, they might dine
on hummingbird giblets day
after day, and they would never
get the next -day bonus of flan-
nel hash. If you're going to have
flannel hash, you've got to start
with a boiled dinner, and there
you are,
It is interesting to remember
that, on occasion, • the best of
Blue Book families would draw
the curtains and have a boiled
dinner. They did not do this be-
cause it was cheap — they did
it because it was good. They
might have had any exotic fare
they pleased, but they, liked
corned beef and cabbage. We
have now reached an economic
plateau where a boiled dinner
costs about as much on either
side of the tracks, if you can
find a decent piece of corned
beef to begin with.
It is a fallacy of modern
times when we are taught that
c,ld-time kitchen affairs were at -
ways laborious, The patent mix
in its airtight package, coming
for the express purpose of
lightening Mother's chores, is
actually a partial hoax, for Mo-
ther's chores were not always
that heavy. Most M the good
things were not only cheap, but
they were quick and easy to
snake, and I can recall many a
conversation over recipes that
began, "Oh, it's easy enough to
make , , ." Grandmother wasn't
altogether a slave in chains, and
she knew a shortcut or two.
It has always amused me that
the professional bakers took
bread out of the home, liberat-
ing womankind, and then after
a full circle brought hack the
half-baked biscuit. You have to
go to the store, stand in line to
nay, come home again, and then
finish baking the product you
bought so you wouldn't have to
bake.
All this takes five or six times
the effort and duration that
Grandmaw spent on the batch of
sal'ratus biscuits — particularly
when you stop and reflect that
Grandmaw didn't'go to the store
at all, ever, for •such staples as
the place needed, Of course, you
can emphasize the amusement
values of going to town, which
Grandmaw didn't have, but you
must also figure in the cost —
and it's cost we're considering.
There was some kind of an anti-
American attitude in those days
which believed in saving money.
There was some kind of a
pudding made with skimmed
milk and things in a flat pan, and
I don't remember that anything
ever pleased me more than that
did. It cost about ten cents an
acre, and the labor involved in
making it was incidental. But on
the end of a large supper, this
pudding was a monumental ex-
perience, and there is ltothing
— no, nothing — in modern af-
fairs than can approach it.
It was manufactured so that
the ingredients, all of them
cheap, were disguised, and . I
have"trr`tndWWIeTge-rsf'what the
pudding came from. I just know
it was good. And it was cheap
enough so we could have it about
any time we wanted to. Today, no
doubt, that same pudding would
run into real money.
What America needs is a cheap
meal, Not just an inexpensive
one, but a meal that not only
conies in the lower figures but,
has all thsoe old -day qualities
of good, rich hearty, family
thoroughness. Something like a
boiled dinner at 35c again, with
$35 worth of flannel hash ' as a
leftover. This is a crazy thesis,
but it's true, true, true, By John
Gould in The Christian Science
Monitor,
The Smile Habit
It has been said that it takes
85 muscles to make a frown but
only 13 for a smile, Yet it seems
that a great many people make
a habit of looking glum.
Granted that all of us have
our troubles -- but why ,should
we post a public notice about
them? It isn't pleasant for
others to look at and it doesn't
lessen our problems one bit. On
the other hand, the persistent
effort to at least "think a smile"
will help not only to brighten the
face but brighten the heart —
and the heart of the other fel-
low, as well,

Call Me Mister?
Should the habit of addressing
men as "Esquire" on envelopes
be abolished? Yes, say critics of
the custom in pleading for a
plain "Mister" for every man.
They declare that the title of
"Esquire" has lost much of Its
original value through indiscrim-
inate use and that when we write
to a man and address him as
"John Jones, Esq." we are in-
dulging in meanineless flattery,
In olden days an "Esquire" was
a candidate for knighthood and,
virtually, a knight's apprentice
and servant, He was the arms=
bearer of the knight he' follow-
ed, In a strict social sense, say
students of heraldry, no man is
an "Esquire" who does not in-
herit a coat of arms.
Nearly a century ago, in 1850,
a man who wanted to take out
a life insurance policy described
himself on the proposal form as
"Esquire" after his name and
gave as his address the mansion
In which `he was then living,
It chanced that he carried on
business as a shopkeeper in a
ne^rhy town.
On his tic ;th, the insurance
comnany sought to evade pu-
rr int on the ground that the
d' intion war esisleaciine. The
mat o,cr-rulci their objection.
Latest Fashions
For Your Pooch!
Looting for something special
for your dog? ►,
Saks Fifth Avenue has it: A
space, suit,
It's made of, silver lame, with
a plastic bubble for the head,
and wriggly antennas fore and
aft,
"Nothing serious technically,
of course," explains Erie Rich -
men, head of Sak's dog toggery.
"Just a conversation piece."
Actually, the space suit is for
the dog that has everything.
That means only for a small
circle of flogs, to be accurate
about it, for to have everything
isn't easy for a dog in New York.
FIrst of all, there is the long
regular line of furnishings every
well-dressed dog should have—
coats (from simple woolens to
$375 minks) with matching
berets, suits, dresses, snowsuits,
bathrobes for after grooming,
and pyjamas.
For owners not fully aware of
the wide range of dog fashions,
here's a hint from Mr, Richman
on how to avoid being caught in
the wrong outfit:
"For 'the morning constitu-
tional, we recommend just a
sweater with matching cap —
blue and visored for the boys,
jewelled for the girls,
"For noontime shopping the
thing to wear is a little tailored
coat, matched to , the mistress's
wardrobe, For late afternoon,
there is a sweeping choice of
cocktail coats, of course.
"In the evening for going out
it's either tails or tuxedo for
the boys and sequin coats for
the girls, with some nice jewelry.
One of our popular items in dog
jewelry is a rhinestone tiara, It
can' be worn by either boy or
girl, I dare say,
"Dogs' tastes, like men's, vary
But it's usually determined by
the owner's. In fact, if the owner
is fashion conscious, the dog is
almost certain to be fashion
conscious, At times we just take
one look at the dog and we can
tell what the owner is like.
"If the dog is extremely shy,
you can be pretty certain the
owner is, too: except that he
can hide it and the dog can't."
To please the highly developed
nose of dogs, Mr. Richman has
developed his own line of canine
cologne. "It's called 'Faithfully
Yours,'" he said with a gentle
blush of pride, "it comes in two
kinds, rugged masculine scent
for the boys, sweet and dainty
for the girls" •
For other seasonal giving,
there is a Christmas stocking
with gaily colored bones, "Made
of latex, We try to get away
from rubber, It hurts the teeth,'
What about actual bones?
"Out of the question," said
Mr. Richman, "they u;nd to
splinter, Our dogs aren't used to
them,"
, Mr, Richman is dead set on
safety, Saks wouldn't think of
selling a woman's necklace at
the dog counter, "We have spe-
cial ones, smoothed around the
edges so the dogs won't catch
their, hair in the setting,"
For the dog that rides in open
cars there isa pair of `motoring
goggles, personally designed by
Mr. Richman, writes Frederick
W, Roevekamp in The Christ -
ion Science Monitor.
Born in Vienna, Mr. Richman
grew up among six dogs , and
several horses at home, 'Tone
were dressed except in ordinary
collars,
In the United States; he gave
up a stage career to enter the
dog fashion world, He has been
an outstanding success,
Although competition in dog
haute couture is sharp, few if
any of his competitors take their
business as seriously as Mr.
Richman. Dogs pretty much
shape his life, \
He writes to them on birth-
days and the major holidays, In
return he gets autographed
photos.
He Is perhaps the most sought
after dog -party guest in town,
"Some of these dog parties
you must see to believe At one
birthday party I went to the
ether day, the lights were turned
out and we all sang 'Happy
Birthday to You.'
"And the birthday child, that
is birthday dog, who was the
belle of the ball, went around
getting pats. And then she went
to open her packages. That's
why we gift wrap everything on
request.
"Well, you should have seen
those fabulous presents —every-
thing from a diamond necklace
to an ermine collar to gift cer-
tificates 'and even stocks and
bonds,"
Some of Mr. Richman's com-
petitors think things are going
a bit far, Said British -born Ken
Egger, salesman at Abercombie
& Fitch Company:
"In England, we just take the
dog for a brisk walk They don't
need any coat. But then those'
heated apartments in New York
you know. Well, you've got to
take it with a grain of salt, I'd
say."
"How did you do at school
to -day, Tommy?" asked a school-
boy's mother.
"All right," was the answer.
"Teacher said I was a regular
little beaver."
"She -did?" exclaimed the par-
ent proudly, "That goes to show
what a hard worker you are,"
"We -1.1, not exactly!" said the
boy, "It was really for chewing
my pencil."

Grandma Was A
Champion Fryer
When 1 was a buy, a fall or
winter Saturday evening had
attractions offered by no other
time, -It was. an interval for re-
laxing, remembering, preparing
-- the luxurious, cozy end of
another busy week.
Of course, Saturday evenings
in spring and summer had ad-
vantages, too, but they couldn't
produce the snug comfort that
arrived with the early darknes:t
of, say, late November. Our un -
electrified home was never so
cheerful,- never so hospitable
uhd carefree. The lighted Tamp
on the round golden oak table
in the living room, the dusky
print of the three horses' heads
,Grandma said the steeds were
Pharaoh's), the easy chair in
the window that kept its eye on
the Mohawk River, the book on
the nearby stand, awaiting the
utter -supper reading - well, my
environment has changed mary
times, but those shining hours
have been my yardstick fur
contentment.
Relaxing, to the boy meant
an hour with Black Beauty, the
Brownies, the Argonauts, or
with Ernest as he studied the
Great Stone Face in the White
Hills., Grandma assisted in the
reading, even when the lad was
well able to do his own, for he
was always eager to hear her
animated voice act out the
stories.
The remembering on Satur-
day evening recalled not only
events of the week - academic
and recreational - but a much
more recent pleasure: Grand-
ma's fried potatoes, a traditional
part of the day's supoer, She
was a champion frier. 1 recall
the pleasure I got from slicing
the cold potatoes, left over from
dinner, and speeding the thin
slivers Into the iron pan at the
hot front of the coal stove. 1
took a station close by, to he
certain that my pieces were al-
lowed to carbonize properly. To
me the height of culinary per-
fection was a heavily overfried
potato. I loved it and still do.
"Well, if you turn into a
chunk of charcoal, don't say I
didn't warn yqu." Grandma
would chuckle. Fortunately, the
transformation did not take
place, so she had no occasion
for I -told -you -so.
The Saturday remembering,
however, concerned loftier mat-
ters recalling major and minor
triumphs of the last week -that
I had beaten my arch rival,
Freddie Winters,- in arithmetic;
that I had successfully, yes,
triumphantly, identified in geo-
graphy class the capitals of the
Balkan countries, a feat I was
unable to duplicate , in later
years.
It was also, perhaps, good to
remember that I had planted a
rather sharp left on the chin of
my occasional antagonist, Jack
Niles, Grandma, to . whom I
promptly reported my victories
as they came to pass, seemed
• especially .pleased. when -I' glad
walloped poor Jack, realizing
full well, I suppose that the next
time there would be a different
story and that credit should be
given in a hurry, .
Let me admit that the week
had likewise provided events re-
flecting less glamorously
less, creditably on my scholastic
prowess; however, I naturally
wasted no time thinking about
them. Nor shell.I give you, even
now, a sample of my short-
comings, except to suggest that
long division was my nemesis
for several weeks despite Grand-
ma's patient assistance, and that
I never fully mastered the head-
quarter cities of those trouble-
some twins, the Virginias and
the Dakotas, writes John L.
Cobley in The Christian Science
Monitor.
The chief item in the pre-
paratory part of my Saturday

of the morrow's Sunday school
lesson, Although I never said
so to Grandma, perhaps at this
advanced day I may confess to
you that this was a chore. I fre-
quently conferred with my
neighborhood cronies on the
matter, and we agreed that the
time spent in memorizing the
outlandish names of Old Testa-
ment characters could he better
used, (May I add, not In self-
defense but in the interests of
truth, that my opinion under-
went radical and profound al-
teration as the years brought
enlightenment. My friends' views
changed also, I believe; anyway,
one of them became a minister.,
Saturday evening at this time
of year was an excellent time
tor forward thinking. Frankly,
this was self-centered, It come
prised chiefly the active antici-
" pation of the Thanksgiving and
Christmas seasons, with their re-
lease from the clutches of my
educators, the exchanges of good
will (and gifts), the extraordin-
ary opportunities for gaud eat-
ing. It was pleasant to contem-
plate the turkey and mince pie
that would be mine, twice in
about a month. And it was quite
possible, even In November, to
plan what one would do on
• skates, snowshoes, and sled dur-
ing the glorious week between
Christmas and New Year's when
a boy would (he hoped) have
new equipment to demonstrate
to his friends.
Stormy evening, were, I think,
best of all, Let the weather
charge at our hilltop: I cud-
dled in my chair and thought of
the unfortunate folks who, in
Grandma's' phrase, "had to be
out In all this." We agreed that
we were indeed fortunate to
have the warm room, the books,
the lamp, the good companion-
ship.
But whatever the weather,
the hours sped swiftly between.
Saturday supper and Grandma's
inevitable, uncontestable com-
ment, about 9 o'clock:
"Well, there's plenty of hot
water, so it's you for the tub!"
They Practise
Tongue -Twisters
If you think that tongue -
twisters such as "She sells sea-
shells on the seashore" are old-
fashioned or merely a pastime
for children, ask famous TV and
radio announcers, preachers,
teachers, after-dinner speakers
and singers what they think.
They'll all tell you that the
tongue -twister is a vital part of
their training. The tongue, say.
elocutionists, must be trained to
precision. of action just as ef-
fectively as any other part of
the human frame.
One radio announcer has re-

The following Is one of a ser-
ies of articles by Dorothea Kahn
Jaffe in the Christian Science
Monitor based on her Study of
modern farming In the U.S. Mid-
dle West. It should be of Interest
to many Canadians interested in
cooperative marketing.
• • •
John Reed sits in his office at
the Elkhart County Farm Bu-
reau Cooperative here and looks
over the operation of some 50 or
more privately owned poultry
farms.
He does it by looking at a
chart on his office wall. This
chart has movable indicators
which show just when each
farmer started to feed his cur-
rent. .crop of broilers, at what
dates the chicks,were given cer-
tain types of feed, and the ex-
act date they will be ready for
market. Fur t her information
about each farm is contained in
a hanging file on the wall beside
the chart.
John Reed has to know a great
deal about these ,farms in his
capacity as director of the poul-
try department for the coopera-
tive. The cooperative has a fin-
ancial stake in each farmer's -
operation. In today's language,
the coop is an "integrator." it
provides the farmer with feed
and baby chicks on credit, gives
him' technical assistance, . and
pays him s� much a pound (less
cost of feed and chicks) after the
broilers are marketed.
• * •
This farm -business setup pro-
tcts the farmer from market
fluctuations by guaranteeing him
a flat rate per pound in advance
of production. It also offers him
a bonus for efficient feeding, In
return, the cooperative gets st
steady supply of broilers. This
enables the cooperative to mar-
ket the birds to the big proces-
sors who demand a constant
regular volume in order that
they in turn may operate effi-
ciently. In this highly organized,
low -margin -of -profit bu sines s,
everything depends upon timing.
No longer can volume of sup-
plies be left to the haphazard
ways of nature.
The integrator therefore plays
an important role in maintaining
regular marketing schedules. Al-
most all of the broilers commer-
cially produced in the fruited
States are now produced by
"integration," it is estimated.
• • •
In many areas 'feed companies,
hatcheries, and processors are
the integrators. One of the big
hatcheries, Cobbs Pedigreed
Chlx, Inc.. operates here. But
Mr. Recd and his associates are
showing that a cooperative may
serve as an integrator with com-
parable success. The cooperative
in this case was already in the
feed business. It sells its poultry
feed at retail (on credit) to the
broiler growers with whom it
has contracts,
• • •
Like iother integrators, this
one helps farmers to increase
their efficiency by adopting the
latest findings of the research
laboratories 111r. Beed is a poul-
try specialist, president of the
it this way: "In grandfather's
day more than five pounds of
feed were needed to produce a
pound of broiler meat; today it
takes only 21 pounds. Then it
took 13 weeks to grow a three -
pound bird; today it takes about
nine."
More efficient production and
inarketing has made broilers a
bargain item at the chain store.
Thanks to lower prices, fried
chicken, once a company - din-
ner dish, now appears on week-
day tables and a greatly increas-
ed demand exists. Broiler pro-
duction is reported to have in-
creased fivefold since 1943.
• • •
Integration has had a lot to do
with all this, I'Ir. Reed says the
big appeal of the integration
plan to farmers is that it takes
most of the risk out of broiler
production. Under the old sys-
tem, a farmer might have to sell
his entire flock on a low market,
for broilers cannot be held more
than a week or so from the time
they reach marketing weight.
0 * •
Under such circumstances. a
producer could lose money on
the operation. If he was so un-
fortunate as to strike a low mar-
ket the next time he had birds
ready to sell, the loss might be
serious indeed, But by dealing
with an integrator, he gets a
guaranteed return a pound or
per bird.
• • •
The Integrator can afford to
give this guarantee because he is
selling constantly, and he gets
' the advantage of market peaks to
make up for periods of slump.
Actually, he plans the timing
of each brood so that the mar-
keting he does for the differ-
ent farmers will be spread out
over the entire month.
broiler department of the In-
diana Poultry Association.
He has a long record of prac-
tical experience in the hatchery
and poultry processing business.
He has also been a feed sales-
man and part owner of a hatch-
ery.
Working with him is Victor
Gardner, another experienced
poultry man. Mr. Gardner op-
erates the Farm Bureau Cooper-
ative's hatchery, a sizeable busi-
.ness in itself with a capacity of
210,000 chicks. The cooperative
has a contractual arrangement
with farmers for the output of
20,000 laying hens who provide
the hatchery eggs.
Vic and John, as the farmers
know them, are always ready to .
advise , the cooperating farmers
in regard to new poultry tec:•-
nology. They act as liaison men
between the farmers and the re-
search laboratories of the uni-
versities and the feed companies.
They work also with the county
agent's staff, gathering all the
information they can which has
bearing on the poultry produc-
er's job. How valuable this new
technology is proving is indicat-
ed In,the reduced amount of feed
now necessary to bring a broiler
to marketing age.

One feed company expert puts
Nitwits! Arise!
Lady Helen Nutting, chairman
of the British Council of Mar-
ried Women, wants Parliament
to pass a law requiring husbands
to turn over to their wives a
percentage of their salaries. She
would let Parliament decide the
amount.
Lady Helen says the status of
British wives is inferior and she
blames existing laws which make
a husband lord and master of his
wife's property, if any, and re-
quire only that a man must
"maintain" his wife and "answer
for her debts."
Maintenance isn't enough in
this day and age, Lady Helen ar-
gues. A wife, unless she is a
"little nitwit with no ambition,"
needs some extra spending money
which would be hers by right.
As far as American males are
concerned, Lady Helen's com-
plaint reads like the account of
some strange social custom dis-
covered by an intrepid explorer
in an out-of-the-way jungle.
U.S. husbands have long since
lost control over the weekly pay
check, to the "little woman." The
legislation they would favor
would be an act permitting a
male wage earner to keep some
trivial share of his pay for his
very, very own.
Which leads us to the thought
that if a Council of U.S. hus-
bands were ever organized and
amalgamated with Lady Helen's
Council, the resulting revolution
might be more world-shaking
than any Karl Marx ever antici-
pated. -Denver Post.

By Rev. R. B, Warren, ILA., B.D.
Jesus is Christ the Lord
Mark 8:27-35
Memory Selection: Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living
God.
As when Jesus was here, se
today, people have different
opinions as to who Jesus really
is. Students of practically all
religions agree that Jesus was a
good man who taught tine ideals.
Some call him a prophet, The
Mohammedans consider him to
be a prophet though not a par
with Mohammed, One of their
favorite sayings is, "There is no
God except God and Mohammed
is his prophet." As four men car-
ry the open coffin bearing their
loved one to the grave, they
chant' this saying over and over
on their way.
There are some bearing the
name of Christians who believe
in Jesus as a good man, even as
a son of God as we are all sons
of God, -and stop there. Of
course, such a one could not be
a Redeemer and Saviour. He
could set us a good example but
could not provide forgiveness
and new life for the sinner.
The confession of Peter is the
correct answer: "Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living
God." Since all sin is primarily
against God, only God can grant,
complete forgiveness. His will-
ingness and desire to do so is
shown in the fact that He are
His Son to be made in the like-
ness of men to become a Medi-
ator, Jesus Christ is our only
hope,
Though Peter made the great
confession, he did not fully un-
derstand that Jesus Christ must
suffer in order to make atone-
ment for our sins. He did not see
that the portrayal of the suffer-
ings of Messiah as given by
Isaiah, chapter 53, would be lit-
erally fulfilled.
We all shrink from the cross.
We seek our own comfort. We
hesitate to deny ourselves, take
up the cross and follow -Jesus;
But this is the way into the
kingdom for us all. "For whoso-
ever will save his life shall lost
it; but whosoever shall lose his
life for my sake and the gos-
pel's, the same shall save it.
It Is not enough to acknowledge
in word that Jesus is the Christ,
the son of God. We must follow
Him.
"I see that tips are forbidden
here, waiter."
"So were apples in the Garden
of Eden, sir."

FAIR SHAKE, FOR FARMERS - There's a machine for everything nowadays, or so it seems. A
good example is this mechanical tree shaker, shown being tested above. It is one of a number
of commercial machines under study. The aim is to remove a maximum of good fruit with
minimum power and tree damage. The machines are successfully harvesting prunes, almonds,
walnuts.

UNITED CO.OPERATIVES OF
QNTARIO HELD ANNUAL
MEETING
The United Co-operatives of Ontario
will meet contract farming competition
from other companies indicated Alden
McLean, Muirkirk, president of the
UCO, in his presidential address to the
joint annual meeting of the United Co-
operatives of Ontario and the United
Dairy and Poultry Co-operatives held
in Toronto, December 1 and 2,,
Local delebates of Belgrave Co -Op-
erative Association, namely, James
Michie, Simon Hallahan, Mason Rob-
inson and Albert Bieman, along with•
the manager, M. R, Orr attended the
meeting.
It will be of interest to the local
members to know that the Belgrave
Co -Operative received dividends from
U.C.O. for 1958 in the amount of
$5,361,00.
More than 600 delegates and visitors
representing some 60,000 farmers and
other patrons of farm co-ops in Ontario
heard Mr. McLean report that a sub-
stantial amount of money had been
appropriated by UCO for use by local
i co-operatives to assist them to meet
competition, "Your directors believe
' that contract farming and vertical Inte-
gration have some advantages and
should be used where they help the
farmer," he told delegates, "However,
we believe that farming should be con-
trolled by fanmers and .to make that
possible, the farmer may contract with
his own co-op where he is part owner,
rather than surrender his own, inde-
pendence to non-farm corporate en-
terprise." i
A panel discussion on the morning
of the second day supported the view
of the UCO directors. The discussion
on Co-ops in Integration, chaired by
Ray Lougheed, Barrie, second vice-
president of the UCO, brought out the
best farm organizations to undertake
contract farming with the farmers if
the latter were to retain control of
their farm businesses. Panel member
i Dr. Hopper, on the staff of the econ-
omics department, OAC, Guelph, re-
ported that contract farming was de -
_'
finitely on the increase, but he indicat-
ed that this system would not likely
be as popular with hogs and eggs as it
t has iaeen with broilers. Other panel
members were Mr. D. McKercher, Sea -
forth, vice-president of the UDPC, Har-
i old Schmidt, Baden, and Hamish Mc-
Leod, UCO Head Office, Weston.

HItONICLES
If:11FRFAIt1�►I
Isn't It wonderful, to be able
to wish each other a Happy
Christmas once again? Suppos-
ing we were not allowed to , . ,
supposing there were not any
Christmas. Wouldn't it be ghast-
ly if December 25 were just an-
other date on the calendar?. But
it isn't, thank goodness—it Ls
Christmas Day—the most glori-
ous day of all the year; the
birthday of the Infant Christ.' It
is a day that means many things
to many people,. What we get out
of it depends a lot upon what
we put into it. You hear so often
Christmas isn't what it used to
be. Tha is perfectly true, no one
realizes and regrets it more than
I. But still, underneath all the
commercialism, the ,over -empha-
sis on Santa Claus, the showers
of greeting cards given and re-
ceived, the Star in the East nev-
er diminishes in brightness. It
is there if we look for it. It
points the way in our hearts and
inner consciousness to the won-
der and joy of the Saviour's
birth.
To me, Christmas now is
something like the gift parcels
we used to delight in as chil-
dren. Very mysterious parcels
parcels with all kinds of labels
and coloured ribbons. You shook
the parcel inquisitively — but
there was no sound. You care-
fully untied the fancy ribbons
and tore off the outer layer of
bright coloured paper. And
what did you find? Only more
papers, more ribbons and more
labels—maybe even another box.
You removed the second layer
only to find the same thing
again. This might be repeated
several times until a package
that started out in dimensions of
twenty inches by thirty was re-
duced to a small box that could
be held in the hand, And what
did the box contain? More than
likely something that had been
chosen with loving care; bought,
perhaps, with nickels and dimes
that had been saved for weeks.
Something for Mother, Dad, big
sister or brother; for Grandma,
Gramp or baby sister. Maybe
the mysterious wrappings were
duplicated in all seven parcels.
The tinsel and gilt, the gaudy
paper and string; the unneces-
sary boxing created an illusion
of Christmas. They were all
there. So, also, was the gift of
love, often quite inexpensive
and sometimes quite inappropri-
ate, yet it symbolized all the
desire of the giver to bring joy
and happiness to loved ones in
the family, circle.
So it is, in a, tvay, with nut
present-day Christmas. There
are too many wrappings; many
boxes wtihin boxes; coloured
labels plastered here and there,
together with too much noise
and ostentation. But yet if we
have patience; if, as it were, we
remove the papers one by one,
eventually we come to the true
meaning of Christmas, It is still
there, just as it always has been,
but a little harder to find among
all the commercial wrappings.
'rhe same applies to greeting
yards, In our anxiety not to miss
nyone who is likely to srmi us
a ,:ard, we rush out and buy
e;ands and stamps by the sJire
We send cards to people we
hardly know well enough to
pass the time of day, We pore
over last year's list, fearful of
committing the social sin of for-
getting someone, even though it
be our next door neighbours to
whom we can wish a happy
Christmas just by lifting the
telephone receiver or calling a
greeting as we see them going
from their house to the garage.
So often greeting cards give
me a let -down feeling, I like.
them, of course, they are so
cheerful and Christmassey, I
can't imagine the Yuletide sea-
son without them. But how of-
ten I have opened an envelope,
sent by someone I haven't heard
from for some time, and I have
looked on the inside of the card,
on the outside, inside the enve-
lope again and what do I find—
nothing but a signature. What
I like hest is a simple card, with
a short personal note. Then I
feel I've got something. But
how many of us have time to
take this extra trouble? Most
folk have so many cards to send
about all they can manage is to
scrawl their names on the cards
and write addresses on the enve-
lopes. Who dares to be differ-
ent? Very few. But wouldn't it
be nice it we took the courage
to ignore convention; cut out
sending cards to casual acquaint-
ances and spent more time on
those to whom a personal mes-
sage from ourselves might real-
lyly mean something.
That is just my idea, of course
—and one that I don't always
live up to, Like everyone else
I get caught up in a last minute
rush and cards are popped into
envelopes regardless.. The road
to Heaven is paved with good
intentions and the Christmas
season is littered with good
wishes and loving thoughts, only
the halt of which are' given ex-
pression. We all try to do too
much in too short a time.
And here I am at the end of
my column, and I haven't even
said "Happy Christmas to you
all", But neither have I sent
you a greeting card without a
message! This time you've got
the message and not the card.
Which would. you rather have?
Magic Tape
A hundred' or so gray metal
machines, harmless -looking gade
gets each about the size of a
kitchen stove, were whirling
brown plastic tape through their
' mechanical innards at 15 feet
per second last month in net-
work studios on both coasts and
scattered stations in between.
As they spun, they threatened
to project America's hufe tele-
visioe industry into a whole new
,broadcasting era,
Thanks to such Videotape re-
corders, TV viewers saw more
than 60 hours of taped network
programming in New York City,
and nearly twice that much out
West, On all three networks,
shows, which had prided them-
selves on their "liveness" —
"Hallmark Hall of Fame," "Perry
Como," "Steve Allen," "Play-
house 90," "The Voice of Fire -
tone" — reached the unaware
TV public via tape.
Considerably less unwitting
than the public, the American
Federation of Television and
Radio Artists made the control
and use of Videotape a primary
issue in negotiations which
threatened network TV with a
crippling strike through most of
November.
One of the main reasons
AFTRA is concerned about tape
is that networks could pile up
a tremendous backlog, " Obvious-
ly if a network had enough pro-
grams on tape, a strike would
mean nothing to them," said a
union spokesman last week, Also
under current contracts no pay-
ments are made to performers
after the show has been replay-
ed five times. The union would
like a "pay for play" formula.
These quietly whirring ma-
chines were indeed remarkable
They could record on a ribbon of
Mylar plastic — 2 inches wide
-- anything a TV camera and
microphone might pick up. They
could play It back seconds later
with a clarity that was practi-
cally indistinguishable from the
live variety of TV. The tape
could be duplicated or wiped
clear and then re -used approxi-
mately 100 times, Being turned
out at the rate of twenty a
month by the Ampex Corp, of
Redwood City, Calif., 53 of the
machines — at $45,000 apiece—
had already been delivered to
the networks and 54 well-heeled
Jocal stations across the country.
Advance orders already spoke
for the entire factory output
through May 1959,
Why was tape taking over?
For the producer and director ;1
offered the opporunity to dorrect
mistakes before air time and
present a flawless show to the
t,udience, Run-throughs could be
taped and examined immediate-
ly, and then production values
corrected and improved. Studio
facilities and personnel could be
used with maximum efficiency,
:ince shows could be tape d
either hours or days in advance.
Stars, often unvailable for speci
tic shows, could perform at their
convenience. Big productions
such as last month's "Kiss Me I
Kate," could be taped in a single
day, while filming might re-
quire several weeks,
There were advantages for
writers, too. Because interrupt-
ions were permitted, writers
could have greater freedom in
costume and scenery changes,
and not have to worry about
putting their actors through the
obstacle race that live TV
drama sometime does.
Actors experienced certain
other benefits, Fluffs could be
smoothed out; performances could
be viewed and refined right on
the set; a little of the disparity
between TV and stage drama
due to hasty preparation could
be eliminated.
Advertisers, too, were dis-
covering blessings in tape, De-
fects in commercials could be
spotted immediately after re-
cording; the costly delays and
reshooting sometimes required
by filmed commercials could be
eliminated without risking any
embarrassing lapses that have
occurred in the live variety.
Also, nervous sponsors, unwill-
ing to sign up in advance for
long series, could buy a taped
show and then cancel it on a
few weeks' notice without great
toss to all concerned, Thanks to
tape, network sponsors could
have shows appear at exactly the
same time all '►ler the country
—a great help in gauging au-
diences and national promotion.
Perhaps most promising of all
tape's prospects as the possi-
bility of distribtig successful
local shows r el'.+elly, Sylvester
Weaver Jr., v. ,nief of NBC and
TV's most quexed kibitzer, com-
mented: "You suddenly have a
whole new world. It is a lot
bigger step than any since we
started TV. With tape you can
produce serious, quality pro-
gramming for a small audience
at low cost. One of these days
the taped programs will be big-
ger than the networks."—From

Modern Etiquette
by Roberta Ler
Q. Is it considered excusable
now to "reach" at the table?
A. While the old "boarding.
house reach" is stilt considered
the sign of a chowhound, we can
properly reach for things that
we can get as easily as our
neighbor can, instead of berm
over -genteel and bothering hin
needlessly to pass it.
Q. When a bride is wrItini
her thank -you notes for wedding
gifts received, does she write
also to the bridegroom's mother
and father, and to his sisters and
brothers for the gifts they gavel
A. This is not necessary if she
has been able to give them her
sincere, verbal thanks.
Q. At a buffet dinner, should
the hostess wait until all her
guests have been taken care of
before she fills her own plate?
A. While she does not have to
make a thorough check of this,
she should be among the last to
fill her plate.

Irish—As A
Second Tongue
They don't call . the strange,
lilting language they often speak
in Ireland instead of English,
Gaelic, They call it Irish. But,
call it what you will, the Irish
people still speak much more
English.
Yet the government's Irish
language campaign has served a
most useful purpose, It has
helped make the Irish of the
Irish Republic think of them-
selves as a nation with a tongue
of its own. The propagation of
speaking and reading the. Irish
language was and is a nationa-
listic move in official recognition
of Ireland's ancient heritage:
Prime Minister Eamon de Va-
lera speaks Irish by preference,
although he was horn in New
York City of a Spanish father,
and it is said he had to learn the
ancient tongue as an adult.
Few deny that Irish is awk-
ward, and that.only a few west-
ern Irish speak it today as their'
normal, or first tongue. Many
Irish don't yet speak it at all.
Yet it Is required in schools in
certain subjects, And I was told,
perhaps accurately, that a stu-
dent could get a higher mark in
a mathematics exam if he could
read a line in Irish at the bot-
tom.
In Belfast, they told me a man
had to speak Irish in the South
to get a government post. In fact,
all professional men in the Re-
public (with the curious excep-
tion of bankers) must pass a test
In Irish—although passing a test,
one suspects, can be perhaps less
demanding then learning the
language.
Irish as a language is credited
with having served its purpose
of boosting the morale of dedi-
cated Irish patriots. But, frankly,
there seems little enthusiasm for
continuing emphasis on Irish in
most circles. Mr. de Valera makes
a point of using Irish, not to
American visitors of course, but
in telephonic conversations with
other officials,
Among the language's short-
comings, however, is the fact it
contains no modern words such
as "airplane," "telephone," or
"radio," which have to be syn-
thesized, with some attendant
confusion. The word "airport"
reportedly is spelled four differ-
ent ways on the way to the Dub-
lin airport. Parking signs for
motorists in some places are only
in Irish, and motorists overpark

because many literally don't
know the time limit imposed.
Dublin pollee apparently are al-
ternately understanding and ri-
gorous in such cases,
In Dublin nowadays, some
schools are taught entirely in
Irish, Officials admit it entails a
sacrifice to revive the language
for children take longer to learn,
But they maintain the delay is
worth while to emphasize na-
tionality distinction. Eventually
it is hoped Irish will be the first
and official tongue, with English
second. At present, both are of-
ficial.
In justification, it can be ar-
gued that Irish was the native
tongue of the areas from which
the greatest Irish emigration
took place — and that the re-
establishment of the classical
language is merely resupplying
what would have been on hand
normally if so many Irish -speak-
ing persons had not emigrated,
writes Harry S, Hayward in The
Christian Science Monitor,
The Prime Minister, moreover,
regards the language as funda-
mental to nationhood, as a valu-
able forte of mental discipline,
and as stimulating the Irish urge
to lea
l'n7`
In •Mr. de Valera's view, Irish
should -be like Norse, The Nor-
wegians usually understand Eng-
lish but also speak their own
ancient tongue and have a strong
sense of unity as a consequence.
In Northern Ireland, however,
I encountered high officials who
regard the formal introduction
of Gaelic, as they call it, or Irish,
• as the Southerners say, as a fail-
ure, Ulstermen claim the Irish
language cannot hope to compete
with English, even south ofthe
border. Emigrants, they say,
quickly leave it behind as im-
practical. They suspect, more-
over, that it may have been in-
troduced chiefly as a diversion
for the Irish, to keep their minds
off other problems.
Some claim it is silly to try to
bring an almost dead language'
back into general use, and that
Irish, young and old, would be
._ better advised to learn a modern,
European language as their sec-
ond tongue.
Others recall how sad it is to
find a living tongue passing out
of usage, as Gaelic is on the de-
cline in Scotland and Northern
Ireland. On the Scottish island
of Skye, for example, I remem-
ber hearing parents grimly say
they would have to teach their
children Gaelic in the home now
that it no longer is taught in the
schools. Courageous•Dame Flora
MacLeod is one of those cam-
paigning for a restoration' of
Gaelic, So perhaps the Irish are
not entirely • wrong in stressing
the need for Irish, .
On this, as on so many other
issues, North and South are not
In agreement. But even in the
Irish Republic one finds little
enthusiasm for a tongue that may
be long on lyrical beauty but
which In this day and age seems
short of practicality.
Yet the Irish are a proud race
—and doubtless will not quickly
sot aside the language of their
Celtic forefathers,

Four Seconds
Full Of Thrills
The heavyweight champion of
the world was in trouble. Pinned
against the ropes by a relentless
challenger who had sworn to
knock him out, he was trapped'
under a mreciless hail of blows.
A left hook smashed against hts
jaw and spun him round, While •
he was still off balance, a right
thudded into his face, The force
of the blow lifted him off his feet
and he crashed to the floor. He
struggled to rise, but fell back,
There was a brief moment of
awed silence as the vast crowd
watched. Then pandemonium
broke out, The challenger stood
exultantly over his fallen rival,
confident that the title was about
to change hands, Four seconds
passed before he noticed the re-
feree frantically waving him to
the far side of the ring.
Four seconds. -A tiny slice of
time, yet they altered the course
of boxing history and became
the most famous four seconds in
the annals of the ring.
Because of them, Jack Demp-
sey failed to break the tradition
that "they never come back." No
dethroned world heavyweight
champion had ever managed to
regain his title, and none has
done so since then,
Yet Dempsey, when he faced
Gene Tunney, his conqueror of
exactly a year earlier, that stif-
lingly hot night at Soldiers' Field,
Chicago, in September, 1927,
came nearer to achieving the
"Impossible" than any other ex -
champion, before or since The
irony of his failure was that he
had only himself to blame—by
breaking a rule he had suggested
himself.
This was a sequel to a previous
fight, with Luis Firpo, when
many critics claimed he had
fouled by hitting Firpo while his
opponent was still rising after
being boored. So Dempsey sug-
gested that when a boxer was
knocked down the man still on
his feet should retire to the far-
thest corner of the ring. This
way, he reckoned, there would
be no risk of a foul or disquali-
fication,
The rule was brought into
operation when Dempsey, having
lost his title to Gene Tunney af-
ter a three-year absence from
the ring, was given the chance
to win it back.
The circumstances boosted the
return fight into one of the most
important of the century, Many
experienced judges, shocked by
the ease of Tunney's first victory
(on points over ten rounds), were
sure he would never do it again.
So was Dempsey, who said he
would score a knock -out in the
sixth round,
Tunney in turn declared that
having won the first fight by bet-
ter boxing, he would now demon-
strate his complete superiority
by proving himself the better
tighter as well,
More than 100,000 people paid
well over a million and a half
to watch the bout, though most
of them must have needed tele-
scopes, Tunney received $600,000
and Dempsey just under half
that sum. Tex Rickard, the pro-
moter, cleared $250,000. No one
grudged a penny of these • vast
sums, for it was one of the few
big fights that lived up to its
ballyhoo, Eight people died from
excitement while listening to the
broadcast; three of them during
the dramatic "long count" sev-
enth round,
Tunney waged a nerve war
from the start by keeping Demp-
sey waiting in the ring for ten
minutes before he appeared,
Then his seconds immediately
began pulling faces at Dempsey
and his helpers and hurling in-
sults across the ring at them—
an odd pastime which they kept
up practically throughout the
contest.
The early rounds produced
little of note, and it was not until
the fourth round that the fight
suddenly exploded into life.
Dempsey, unleashing a series of
blows, drove Tunney back until
the champion's knees buckled,
He looked about to go down, but
unexpectedly produced a heavy
right to the jaw which stopped
Dempsey's advance. Now it was
his turn to go forward, and be-
fore the end of the round it was
Dempsey who was nearly down.
The fifth round was fought to
a similar pattern, Tunney being
out -fought at the start and fin-
ishing strongly as his rival spent
his strength.
.Came the sixth, the round in
which Dempsey had promised to
end it, He nearly succeeded, too,
when after landing a dozen
heavy punches he had Tunney
hanging on desperately as the
bell went
Immediately the seventh round
began Dempsey threw every-
thing into attack. Tunney was
driven back under a merciless
hail of blows and this time was
tlnaL;le to land• the counter that
got him out of trouble before. As
he stood against the ropes, Demp-
sey moved in for the kill. A left
turned Tunney round, and the
following right dumped him on
the floor.
The timekeeper began to count.
and Dempsey stood looking down
at his victim. Then he realized
the referee was motioning him
away • to the far corner of the
ring. Under the rule, not until
he was there could the referee
begin counting. The timekeeper
called "five" as the referee said
"one," As the timekeeper reached
ten Tunney was still down, but
the referee went on. Six , , . sev-
en . . . eight. , .
At nine Tunney climbed to his
feet, and as Dempsey rushed
across the ring he was able to
wrap his arms round his oppon-
ent and hold on, He survived the
round, and though 'still weak in
the next his strength gradually
returned.
His recovery was made to look
more complete by his challen-
ger's rapid decline. Dempsey had
suddenly become old and tired,
and as the bout wore on to the
end of its allotted ten rounds
there was no doubt that Tunney
would keep the title.
Had Dempsey really spent him-
self in that desperate seventh
round? Or was he so disappoint-
ed at seeing the title dashed
away from him that his spirit
gave up? No she, probably not
even Dempsey himself, knows
the answer.
As for Tunney, though he cut
