2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thursday, Oct. 11, 1951 Times have changed. Canada acquir- ed greater population, pasteurization and process milk were invented and cheese, as an export commodity, gradually lost its attractiveness to Canadian dairymen. This year it is doubtful if much more than 12 to 15 million pounds will go overseas, and somewhere near that amount will be im- ported. But cheese is still manufactured by the millions .of pounds in Canada, in more modern plants with the finest of equipment. The big difference today is that most cheese made in Canada is eat\en by Canadians. In fact it has become one of the favourite foods of this country. “Cheese Festival" during the month of October, is being sponsored to stimulate SAM COOK, Editor Before the turn of the century a cheese, factory was to be ‘found at almost every important crossroads in old Ontario and in Quebec. Hundreds of others Were scattered throughout the other provinces. Making cheese, or providing the milk for cheese, was the big rural industry. In fact it was the only method of Using and keeping surplus milk as the tin can had yet to be invented, and most butter was home made. In one momentous year Canada ex- ported over 200 million pounds of cheese -â€" it was our chief product in world mar- kets until wheat came along. No onephase of industry in this coun- try better illustrates the economic and population changes that have taken place in Canada within the past 75 years than does our cheese industry. At one time our leading commodity in the export mar- ket, shipments abroad have shrunk to al- most token amounts, which this year may be balanced by imports. From almost a negligible position as a domestic food used by Canadians cheese sales here have steadâ€" ily advanced until today Canadians are eatâ€" ing well over 60 million pounds yearly. §n this circumstance, personal saving by Canadians takes on an added import- ance. We have always been a thrifty people. We believe that it is wise to put something by out of income against a rainy day no matter what effort this may involve. We are convinced that the sturâ€" diness and independence that goes with the habit of saving steadily raises standards of citizenship. Today we must add to these benefits the contribution thrift can make toward easing civilian demands on the output of our economy when it is under strain. The offering of a new series of Canada Savings Although our productiye capacity has been expanding steadily, it was barely able to keep pace with the demands of a rising standard of living and a large and growing rate of capital development even before the re-armament programme was added. There is a limit to what we can turn out at any one time. Canada, like other nations of the free world, is acting in the realization that sur- vival requires us to re-arm. We are de- voting an increasing share of our nation- a1 production to this purpose. A year ago about 2 per cent of our total output was for defence use. By the end of this fiscal year we will be putting around 10 per cent of our total productive effort into re-arm- ament. We all have much to be thankful for. This is true of us as individuals and as cit- izens of Canada! We should be thankful that we are privileged to live in a favored Churches quite properly give the lead in celebratingthe day, and their cunt“ _. â€" tion of special services of Than‘:r~i~'~ ~ are beautiful and inspiring. Outside the special services organized by the various churches there is a danger of a creepingâ€"in of a public attitude that this is just an- other holiday. Thanksgiving Day in Canada has Come and gone for I951, and in retrospect it might be said there is danger of the holiday losing some of it‘s real significance. Municipal councils might well give ser- ious consideration to the suggestion that the period between nomination and elec- tion should be longer than ten days. It is contended with sound reasoning that the great influx of new residents makes the longer period desirable. In the old days when everyone knew everyOne else the shorter period may have been quite There have been representations made from time to time that the period between nomination (lay and polling day is not long enough. Now the general practice is to provide for an interval of about ten days. It used to be only seven days, and in some cases the period of two weeks has been given a trial. This is the time of year municipal councils have the responsibility of mak- ing arrangements and fixing the dates for the annual municipal elections. In local municipalities nomination day usually is set late in November with voting on the first Monday in December.

E. SMITH; M.P., Publisher ALVERNA SMITH Personal Savings Telephone, Richmond Hill 9 In these days of high meat prices cheese is a lifesaver for many a housewife, anxious to save on dollars and cents and yet give her family well balanced and tas- ty meals. Often during the week a cheese dish can substitute for the high priced meats, and with no loss in food value. As a matter of-flact cheese, being a pure dairy food, usually contains a more balancea nu- tritive value than meat. That is someâ€" thing worlh remembering these days when high costs are the worry of most of us. And the variety in cheese today is al. most as great as the uses to which each type can be put. All Canadians know our natural cheddar, long a highly prized pr0< duct in other lands, but few are aware that a great many of the exotic types, which once were imported and were in the luxury class, are now being made in Can- ada. And very good many of them are. The wide variety of process cheese, almost unknown just a few years ago, have be- come very popular with Canadians, in fact well over half of the 60 to 70 million pounds of cheese sold annually in Canada come to the housewife in attractive pack- ages, pasteurized, and ready for use. In her efforts to balance the family food budget, to find new ways to make old and well proven dishes taste different, more and fnore Canadian housewives are turning to cheese. No food product in the moderate price bracket offers greater var- iety, can be put to a greater number of uses. As a wholesome, tasty and very nu- tritious food cheese stands almost alone. It is good by itself, can be cooked, blend- ed or used to enhance the taste of other foods in a thousand different ways. In fact cheese might well be called “the food of a thousand uses.” This system is a little more compli- cated than previous issues of Canada Sav- ings Bonds but it offers an increasing in- Centive to owners to hold their bonds over a longer period in comparison to the flat 2% per cent paid on past issues. It is now possible to buy up to $5,000 of this issue in any one name, thus providing an Oppor- tunity to take advantage of the new terms on a larger scale than before. The bonds are always cashable at full face value plus interest anytime. All these considerations combine to encourage us to make plans now to buy as many Canada Savings Bonds as we poss- ibly can. an even greater appreciation of this fact. It is also an attractive opportunity. For instance, each $100 bond, good for 10 years, 9 months, carries 10 coupons pay- ing $3.50. The first coupon becomes‘pay- able August 1, 1953, (which is one year and nine months from date of issue) and subsequent coupons each year thereafter. If the bond is cashed before August 1, 1953, simple interest is paid at the rate of 2 per cent per year calculated on a month- ly basis. If held to maturity, the yield on the bond is equal to 3.21 per cent per yeag' throughout its term of 10 years and 9 months. Each year our government sets aside a. day for national thanks-giving to A1- mighty God for a bountiful harvest and many blessings. Let us as a people never lose sight of the real purpose of the nation- al day â€" let Thanksgiving Day lose none of its true significance. - Bonds this October provides us with a‘ timely opportunity to realize all these ad- vantages. As a people we seem much less prone to give expression to our thanks-giving than our complaints and beefs. True we have problems by the score, but we also have much to be thankful for. land, one of the choicest on the face of all the earth. Many millions of people in the world today would be very glad 'of the op- portunity of celebrating a Thanksgiving Day as Citizens of Canada. Whether or not local municipal coun- cils take any action on the suggestion this year it should be remembered that aspir- ing candidates need not be too greatly hampered by the existing system. lThere is nothing to prevent an aspiring candi- date for municipal office making known his intentions long before the date oi 0f- ficial nomination.

Shadford made a vigorous protest and the show was banned. The leader of the troupe was higll' ly indignant and wrote to a Mont- real paper a letter in which he re- ferred to Canon Shadford as “ a twopenny ha'penny curate”. The man went on to boast that he made more money in a week than the curate received in a year. That fact settled for him the standard of importance. It is easy to get a false start in life. Every financial depression has been accompanied by a wave of suicides. In the severe slump or 1929 suicides in _the United States increased over one hundred per cent. For thousands who lost their money -â€" or a good part of it ~â€" it seemed as if life was not we lh living.

The station was crqwded when the train pulled in and an estimat- ed 100,000 people thronged nearby streets. But this crowd was not interested in Madam Curie. 'It happened that Jack Dempsey} at that time the world’s champion prizefighter, arrived at that same time and he was the attraction. So while half a dozen admirerers met her a vast multitude surged around the prizefighter. ‘ In the biography of that remarkâ€" able woman, Madam Curie, there is an gmusing account of her ar- rival at a railway station in Berlin, Germany, before the second World War. In 'many circles she was, eV- en then, a very famous woman be- cause of her discovery of radium.

My father was born and brought up in the highlands of Scotland. He could remember the Sunday when a little organ was first. used in the church. There wasopposition from some and dul‘v ing the service an old man walked down the aisle and facing the con- gregation, said that the devil him- self was in the "Kist of Whistles.” Well, the organs continued to be introduced and perhaps the dear old man who protested eventually got to enjoy the music. We have to guard against mis- judging thing's; losing the Sense of proportion. The writer of Psalm RICHMOND HILL HARDWARL 73 tells of how some things left him baffled and bewildered, but when he went into the sanctuary, he saw them in a different light and he became reconciled and tranquil.

She did not expect any- thing unusual to happen that night, though she knew that on. emy planes might fly overhead at any time. During the past year she had often heard bombs falling, but so far, she had escaped injury to herself. ‘ Suddenly she heard the long, haunting wail of the siren, -â€" then the deafening roar of enemy planes and the comforting answer of the anti-aircraft guns. The driver suddenly stopped the ambulance as the planes drew nearer. Sudden- ly a bomb burst nearby. Aunt Lucinda opened the door of the ambulance. Outside she could see the broken and dead bodies of men, women and children. She went calmly from one to another, giving comfort and aid where she could. Another bomb dropped .. very close to Aunt Lucinda. A fragment flew against her, 1nd crushed her right arm above her elbow.
