Says Brooks Holding Own '2 fgainsi TV, Radio, Movies

SSCAVILLE, NB. iCPJ - Gov- crrcr - General Massey says he dcc:.n'i believe books are losing their au.ho”Ity or charm to mass media -- the telephone. movies. rat to and tdevlsion.

He also sald in delivering the ins: Josiah Wood lec'.ure at Mount Allison University Wednesday night hat "perverse use of bad language is a crime against bu- m-" 'ity."

M'. Massey said the printed word has given man "the oppor- tuni.y. Lhc hope of fre-dom and equaii.y. because knowledge, sure knowledge. lay open to him. and knou'lcd'.'.c was power . . . It has helped to give us'not only know- led",e and f'cedom. but comfort and properity."

The cu'.'rPnl age, howcvcr, nus one of the telephone. the movie. of "adlo and television.

MORE BOOKS BOUGHT

"Many now appear to believe- siid fear - that the new lmasa mcdia' will push the book into the corner. along with the spinning- wheel."

But he was encouraged by "the assurance that, so far. books are not losing either their authority or their charm. Reviewers assure us that more books. and more good books. are being bought than over before."

The danger was not that the reading public would desert good books but that abuse of the writ-

ten lansuare may ruin books.

"As ;or words. we are never at a loss: if they do not exist, we in cut them. We carr out purpose- IUI Pfolecls in a meaningful man- ner In ordei to achieve insightful experiences.

"We dlarise we earlierisez any day We may begin to iutu”isc. We aim itinerise. aiid reliablelse; and We "01 only decontamlnate and dellllmidlly but we debureaucrr tize and we deinsecticize. We are. in addition. discovering how good and Dleasant it is to fellowship with one another.

"I can only say. let us finalize all this nonsense)"

BAD IS STILL BAD

"For all their talking, bad lan- guage is still had. and the per- verse use of bad language is 8 crime against humanity."

PEI Hogs Highl

Western Canadian Magazine

in an article appearing in the February issue of "The Country Guide". the high quality of Prince Edward Island hogs is recognized. "The Country Guide" Is published in Winnipeg.

The following Is the text of the article:

"One of the most remarkable transitions in the history of live- stock has taken place with hogs on Prince Edward Island. The

rovince has shown the way to Canadian swine producers who are faced with the need to produce lean bacon hogs to retain their in- dustry.

V "From 1922. when Canada began selling its bags on a graded basis. Island breeders have been trying to improve their pigs. In 1934. they got a hog-testing station at Char- lottetown. Later. the province de- creed that an boars sold for breed- ing purposes must be out of dams qualifying in Advanced Registry. By 1941. with 31 per cent of Can- ada's hog qarcusea grading Al the Island's program was beginning to pay off. and their own hogs aver- aged 35 per cent Grade A.

i "in the succeeding 15 years, the Island's hog business hasn't looked back. Now. with Canada well be- low 30 per cent in A-Grade hog carcasses. ihe Island is almost double that. . . DUNSTAFFNAGE BREEDER5

"Breeders like Almon Boswell and J.B. Stewart have taken their breeding stock to the swine shows at Amherst and Truro in Nova smile to win championships. They have gone all the way to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto with car- casses and swept the board. They have shipped breeding stock to the other Atlantic provinces. to Quebec and Ontario. and right out to the prairie provinces.

"By buying grain shipped from prairie fields. skimming the milk from their herds and feeding it to pigs. and above all. by applying the dual yardstick to performance Icstlng and the 'practiccd eye, in- land hog men have bred and led the kind of hogs that the swine industry is calling for today.

correct weights. He had statistics from the island test station to show that 92.8 per cent of the sows tested there qualified in 1955. CAREFUL CHECK

"Mr. Clay maintains is precise record in his office of the top breed- ing animals on the Island. He leaf- ed through lt. pointing out that of the 125 boars in use in the prov- ince. nearly all are out of sows scoring 85 or better under All.

"He stopped at one sow whose ancestry was as well documented as that of a royal family. to show that her seven nearest dams had allR scored 85. or better. under

)

"He turned to the records of a particularly promising young boar. Three of his litter from different herds. had scored 94. 90. and 87 on test. Feed conversion and growth were good in all cases.

"The owner. heisaid, planned to mate this boar back to some of his own daughters to be sure that no ruptures. ridglings, or other de- formities showed up, before mak- ing wider use oi him. If he came out well, that boar was marked for wider use.

CAN STILL IMPROVE

"Island hogs have advanced so far now that futher improvement will be made only if the greatest care a d wisdom is used by breed- ers. wine improvement is taken so seriously that at the Charlotte- town Exhibition. boars cannot be brought out unless they are from qualified dams; nor can sows over two and one-half years old be ex- hibited if they haven't qualified under A.R.

"These breeders of Canadals old island province can't boast elabor- ate buildings. but their pigs are becoming renowned. Like the

sin growers in western Canada, hey must meet the challenge of markets that are distant. They are doing it with quality hogs."
