A dew years later she contributed in hymns to a collection of "Hymns and Anthems." which he M33135- ed in 1041 for use in his chapel. and among these was "Nearer. my God, to thee."

In its original text the hymn con- tains five stanzas 'rhe last of these. beginning, "or if on. ioyiul wing cleaving the sky." is usual- ly omitted from modern hYll'm' books. several additional stanzas have been composed and publish- ed for doctrinal reasons, not to mention small verbal alterations. some good and some bad.

Most of the imagery of "Nearer. my God. to thee." is derived train the Bible story of the patriarch Jacob at Bethel. The first atanaa contains a distinctively Christian reference ("E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me): but the hymn quickly pages on to express a parallel between the life of the spirit and " meless Jacob asleep on his journey to Padanaram, as- aured in his dreams of the abiding presence of God. .

All experience is a stairway to heaven ("There let the way ap- pear steps unto heaven"): and "darkness" and "stony grleia" are the common stuff of life; but. known by faith to be "in mercy "given," they become the am of growth and discipline in the prac- tice of the presence oi God.

The last stanza. not so well known as the others. changes the imagery from climbing to flight (;'On joyful wing . . . upwards I i ").

Xrhc hymn has much in common with the spiritual experience ex- pressed in many of the Psalms: "WhenI awake I am still with thee." Without that presence the soul is homeless and un-fulfilled: but there is not. and there cannot

P. C. News & Views

Monday night the new King oi the Campus was announced as being Allison Mulch of ac. After a secret campaign carried on by his supporters. he was chosen by the girls to succeed the abdicatlntz King Trites. The proclamation was issued at the Sadie Hawkins dance. the 'official opening of Co-ed Week.

The chief attraction at the dance was the "fashion show" conduct- ed by the boys. They were dressed, to the crowd's pleasure. in what they termed as the ladles' styles of 1952. All members of this cast received a loud ovation as they came onto the stage. As a mecia attraction, Weston Caimody. dress- ed in a girl's two piece bathing suit, gave an Arabian dance rout- in

e.

Besldu this. Joe Hoyt. Brlsr Chandler. Rory Lents, and Don Mac.Nei.l penformed a song and dance routine which earned them many laughs.

The opening of "co-ed Week" proved to be a great.succesa. The dance drew a bigger crowd than when regular soclals were con- ducted at P. W. 0. Many missed the announcement for the last waltz which caused minor confus- ion for some.

Last night there was more en- tertainment at the expense of the girh. A first rate movie. San l-1-ancisco. was shown to all ih-- studenfs. This was a free movie. but the expense came in when the girls were obliged to take the boys to s reiaurant afterwards.

The week will close with a aadie Hawkln'ii dance at the Y. M. C. A. on Saturday night. The 'Y' is

Partners And The Legislature

on Tuesday the annual Federa- tion Brlef was presented to the members of the Legislature and discussed by both members and directors of the Federation.

This year's brief made no spe- cific requests. but emphasized the importance of gm... t , " ' relative to rural electrification, electoral reform. land settlement. marketing and co-operation, and the necessity of scrutinizing our educational system.

it is not difficult to point out the imperfections and shortcom- ings of education-to remedy the deficiencies is quite another mat- ter. Educational progress depcnds to a large extent upon the desires and attitudes of the people and the financial limitations of a strictly rural economy. Too much of the urge for better education has been coupled with the belief that education could be the means of relapse from hard work rather than an. instrument to insure greater accomplishments and bet- ter work.

There is evidence that good roads and electricity are import- ant factors in keeping our people on the land and while it may be natural and necessary for a per- centage of rural young people to leave the land, yet we should not be complacent when that move-. ment results in vacant. under- manned. and indlffenently operat-

farms.

We submit that the prosperity of the Province depends on keep- ing all our arable land producing at a high level. Efficient produc- tlon is ighiy important but must be followed by efficient market- ing. hence the concern of the Federation with the development of marketing eo-operatives and interest on the part of all in the importance of aggressive policies to assist in obtaining maximum returns.

ensiiage can be of the most value and it is quite possible that all our heavy clover could be made into ensiiage that the amount of real feed could easily be doubled.

The making of clover hay dur- ing bad weather is a discouraging and unsatisfactory operation. whereas, enlilage making gives greater ' 4 , ---t from weath- er conditions.

Potato Movement

On March 36th. nineteen cars of potatoes moved directly from Maine to Canadian markets and of the one hundred and forty odd cars moved from New Brunsw ck a substantial portion, possibly 50 per cent. were Maine potatoes.

New Brunswick supplies arc getting low and as ii result, deni- ers in that province are doing heavy business in Main potatoes.

From the 1st of Ms ch to the 25th, four hundred and nine cnrs moved from the Island and the supply of cars appears to be in- creasing. lndications are that demand will be keen for the one thousand odd cars left in tlic province. and while there may be some fluctuations in price from lime to time. prices will quite likely remain high.

Pork Prices

For the past year pork pi-ices at Monctbn have been in line with Montreal prices and Charlotte- town prices competitive with Moncwn. However. as of March Zlrd. the Moncton prices had fallen under the floor prices os- tabllshed for Montreal, the reason given for this price drop being the necessity of the packers protect- ing themselves against loss on a surplus.

Whether or not it surplus dc- velope in the Maritlmcs we act- little justification for less than the floor price being paid on thi- very substantial percentage of park which will he used in the Maritlmee. The packets are pro- tected so far as the price on sur- plus products are concerned. therefore we fail to see why the price pork consumed in the Maritlmee should be less than the Montreal floor price.

Dairy Plants

For the past fifty years a dairy plant on Prince Edward Island has either manufactured butter. or cheese. pasteurized milk, or perhaps added the manufacture of ice cream as an important sideline.

For the past few years in most provinces, the trend has been to- wards a plant which bought whole milk from the producer and from it manufactured either or both butter and cheese, powdered skim milk, powdered buttermilk, and also powdered whey.

This type of plant has on the average been able to return to the producer fifty cents more a hundred than have cheese factor- les. Powdered skliii milk is a pro- duct which has been rapidly gain- ing in favor and use of which has been increasing by leaps and bounds.

The time has perhaps arrived I

when consideration should be given to the development of such a. plant in this province.

Grain Varieties

Mr. R. B. Mt-Larcn. Cerealist with the Charlottetown Experi- mental station. has recently re- leased to the press an article on grain varieties: this article we recommend for the careful study of farmers.

The difference in returns from the newer recommended varieties can. in many cases. be so sub- stantial as to make a marked dil- fcrcncc in net returns.

Many of our farmcrs arc still growing the nldcr vnrietles with-l out having givcn llic new once A chance to demonstrate their sup-I criorlty. Disease resistance and improved yields are the main ad- vantages of recently developed varieties of oats.barlcy and wheat.

Soil Survey

one of the most interesting books which we have seen for some time is "soil survey oi Prince Edward Island" by O. B. Whitt-side of the Experimental Station staff, Charlottetown. This booklet is a joint cffort of Fed- eral a Provincial Departments of Ag culture and contains a wealth of interesting information.

Of particular interest arc the maps of each County showing the different soil types and their loca- tion. The author and the Depart- ments concerned are in be highly commended for this valuable pub- licatlon.
