Schomberg Christh Market Excels The annual Christmas market held at Schomberg' drew farmers from a wide area who arrived at a very early hour to display fowl in the market hall. It; was roughly estimated that 85,000 was paid by dealers, an excess over last year of approximately $1,- 000. It was described by Mr. Frank Brown, head of the local market as- sociation, as one of the best mar- kets in recent years. A late morn- ing‘ snow storm caused farmers from a distance to leave the brisk shopping centre earlier than usual. Merchants said volume of business transactions were highly satisfactory.

For the soul of a country one must look to its native literature. Canâ€" ada has long been famous for her engineers, her magnificent railroads, her grain, her building's, her univers- ities. her skills in law and science; and especially in her science of gov- cxnment. Especially has Canada an unequalled record for clean, wholeâ€" WILLIAM ARTHUR DEACON GREAT CANADIAN BOOKMAN unequalled record for clean, wholeâ€" some, progressive government. Beâ€" cause of these things Canada holds a unique position today for her pres- perous economy and a generally happy people. What of Canada's literature? Un- til what has been called the “liter- ary revolution of 1942” we were not great in literary production. It is true that many fine books had been written and published that were the work of Canadian writers. But their emergence into the light of day was scattered and desultory. There was no continuous production of first~ class literature. In the last few years a brilliant change has overtaken the Canadian literary Scene. We have now estabâ€" lished authors who need not fear com'parison with the best that either Britain or America can boast. It is true thatPercival Philip Grove had been published long before the 1942 “revolution”; but not until a year ago, when his Autobiography came from the press, did he achieve wide international renown. ""A‘HTAE} ‘dizitrtre we hope to make reference to our notable company of Canadian authors; for the present we shall give what space we have at our disposal to the mention of a great Canadian bookman, whose en- thusiasm and energy in the cause of our native literature has done per- haps more than any other Canadian to place Canada on the map of the world of letters. His name is Will- iam Arthur Deacon, literary editor of our contemporary, the Globe and Mail. Books can be written, but unless they receive critical notice in the press the reading; public is hardly likely to become aware of their ex- istence. Mr. Deacon has made the Saturday issue of the Globe and Mail a weekly treasury of sound, robust criticism. He brings to the notice of his readers all the books that matter; and the Canadian books that are now being published are numer- ous, and generally do matter. Mr. Deacon hasymaintained a high and rigorous standard of critical ap- praisal over a period of many years. He has given an equal measure of enthusiasm and acumen to the func- tion of literary criticism. He is fearless and independent in his judg- ments. He is tireless in his search for new talent; and where there is promise he never fails to give enâ€" couragement. Sound iiterary criticism is funda- mental in the creation of great liter- ature. If critical standards are low, the books that come to be written suffer from such adverse influences. The literary critic is the custodian of our national standards of author‘- ship. from him ,flows the pqwgp‘of aesthetic and V spiri‘ffi‘zil'fiirectlon. “In Dalmatia,” a naturalist says, “ants chew grain into dough and bake their own cakes in the sun." This is much more courteous than the habit of Canadian ants, which go to picnics uninvited and eat up cakes that someone else has baked. For the high direction he has giv- en to Canadian authorship; for his enthusiasm and tireless energy in the service of one of the greatest of the arts, The Liberal salutes William Arthur Deacon, and trusts that in the years ahead he will make many more talented discoveries, and find perhaps a genius or two in the Can- adian literary field.-â€"J.G.S.
