Just in the valley where the vill- age of Richmond Hill looks down Yonge St. towards the busy city of Toronto stands a large concrete house with two stately ancient wal- nut trees whose branches most of the year form a happy habitation for gray and black squirrels and in the early spring alive with chattering black birds. This house, a few hunâ€" dredv yards from Yonge St., was many years ago owned by a Dutch farmer named Vanderburg and is historical, for General Brock with his officers and men were billeted in its spacious rooms and the large barn by the sol- diers, where, during the day, mili- tary manOeuvres took place before going to Queenston Heights, 1812, where, riding a beautiful horse, the handsome general led his officers and men to victory. The next day after the battle of Queenston Heights this General rode triumphant through the gate at Fort George. This house, now occupied by very worthy neighbors, is still in good preservation 'as well as the large barn and many people pass by un- conscious of its past history, as so many like places remain unnoticed. Many a Canadian story could be writ- ten or a poem composed which would be of great value to succeeding gen- erations. The Gavernor-General lately at Convocation Hall on poetry night at which he gave an addreSS stated that Canada should provide, with its wom- derful history and traditions, a won- derful setting for historical writings and poetry. He c105ed with the re- marks: “Every part of the common- wealth should have its own idiom and I want to see Canada provide its special version and not borrow it from elsewhere. The modes in which English poets have sang of the Eng- lish traditions and of the mellow English landscape are not those best fitted for our prairies, forests and mountains and northern wilds or for a young and adventurous people. Canada must make her own music. What is wanted in the words of scripture is “A New Song to the Lord.” In a country- like ours where our task is to force audacious novel- ‘ties into the bonds of art, we ‘need especially the masterpieces iwhose appeal is to all humanity. Almost anyone of middle age can recall when vendors poured milk from a can into pitchers or jugs at the customer’s door, and collected five cents a quart. It is not surprising that current retail prices appear high. But other food commodities have followed the same road. When an old lady in Toronto termed the present milk disgraceful, she was asked by Wellington Jeffers, finan- cial editor of the Globe and Mail, what she paid for other 'food articles back in the 80’s and 90’s. She told him she paid 15 cents 9. lb. for the best cuts of meat, 1-0 cents a dozen for eggs in summer, 17 cents a pound for butter in the winter, five cents a loaf for bread, and 50 cents a bag for potatoes. Milk Costs Then and Now Not So Long Ago When Vendors Sold It At Five Cents a Quart “Back in: those days when milk was five cents a quart, farm labor, both male and female, was cheap. The city dairies had cheap distribution, too, because city labor needed then far less in the way- of wages; rents were less than half what they are now and the cost of living was generally quite low. The consumers‘provided their own containers and the dairy comâ€" pany of those days did not need such I expensive machinery as they do to- day and they' had smaller territories to cover. Despite all these circum- stances, every angle is being can- vassed constantly by up-to-date, well managed companies who raise thel price of milk with reluctance because i they know that the immediate re-yj sponse by many consumers is to keep " the cost of milk down by decreasing ' the amount used." l “This lady,” Mr. Jeffers writes, “does not pay 13 cents a quart for the same kind of milk for which she used to pay five cents. She pays nowadays for bringing the milk much longer distances, for having it pasâ€" teurized, for having it homogenized and having it put in bottles under conditions which prevent the entrance of germs before it is ready for con- sumption. To prevent disease, city inspectors visit all the dairy farms which supply the city‘,, and the farm buildings and equipment and utensils have to be up to a high standard because milk from substandard farms is barred. Cows are tested periodi- cally in order that those affected by tuberculosis may be eliminated. As that disease does attack cows in even the best cared for herds, this in~ spection is important, but it is an important element in cost. (By Caltha) New Year's is past and gone again with its quota of visitors and exodus of citizens for the day. Some of the visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Conle)" of Orillia and Miss Mem Coulson of Wexford at Mr. N. Ogden's; Mr. Jas. Bewell and sister Hattie of Green- bank and MiSS Cora Bewell with Mrs. Ed.
