A Poet's Thanks

_ltilii1 Xlascfit-Ttl, 11111-1 llltlffflit‘. of liitglautl, has lillblirllCkl a iicw pociii which is likcly to fiild a more than usually wide circle of appreciative readers. It is entitled “Shopping in Oxford," and it is an outpouring of praise for all \\-l1o have scrvcd the poi-t in shops. boixl: stores, baltcries, £lllti11lIC5 and clothii-rs: "thus." who. wltcthci" wcll or ill, or hot or freezing. scck out the bityc1"'s plea- sure arid are pleasing." This is perhaps the first tribute of its kind in Etiglislt verse, and it is .- mastci-piccc of fclicitotis phrasing. No shopper 1-1111 have ht-cn liappici" than hi: who madc thcsc purchases:

Each one was rendered friendly, with l. smile,

A charming word or Jest that gave a grace

0f silver to the penny-‘s common-place,

S0 that. a spirit coinpanted the thing

Borne in the paper tuackage tied with 511mg,

$0 tilt". it Seemed B. thing not bought and sold

But given, out of friendship and worth gold.

Haven't we all experienced something of this gratcfiil glow front little coitrtcsics rcccivcil across the coiuitt-r? The nocm rnds:

The common thing, if blessed by head and heart, Becomes uncommon as a W01‘: 01' art,

so these who sell to those who only buy

Have made their sellings bright in memory, Thanks can not. pay what kzndness freely gives, But the glad kindness runs the world and lives,

I live the gladder for the flatly thought

They gave me golden what my coppers bought.

Sin-Less than a hundred years ag) all workers 011 the land were expected to stand aside and pull their fci-elccks when any of "tile gentry" passed. and their wives and daughters had to make bob curtsies.

nocked off about ten years from the actual birth certificate irutli. A much smaller number of men are in the same boat, but woe-rc- as men usually practised 'nls deceit for business pttrptses, and because they had an eye to the too-old- at-forty fetish. the women's tnctive was often sheer vanity. But their" flbs have found them out. A woman of 42 wl1o entered her age as 32. new Iitids fret-self suddenly called up for war pur- pas-rs with her "group." What. is site to do abcut it?

Allocation o1 the sum of I011! thousands dollars to the lfkderal Department 0t Agriculture tot" tllie ui-eparutioti cf dclr-vttratcci vegetables is news that will arouse tnncn lntir- est. in Nova scotiu. The funds Dro- vided are to be expended in the es- tablishment of dehydrating plants in the Maritime provinces, Otitarto and British Columbia. _ _ _

Existing i-acilttics, it 1S said are sufficient to prcdiico but one ltund- red unil thirty-seven 1.011s of diiccl vegetables. while the Bflll$ll Wat" Office alone is seeking to place ord- ers for one thousand tons. In the case of dehydmted applcs great suc- cess has alrcadv born aolnevcd. and very considerable quantities ltave been stripped to Britain in a nun!- mitm of shipping space.

Dehydrated vegetables, because of their nigh nutritive value. are tn great demand not only for the arm- ed forces. but for the feeding of the civilian pcptilr-ition rts well. 1n Brit- ain. whet-e gt-mving space is liniitzd and ivlicre the tnan-potvti" question is of supreme urgency, every oppor- tunity to secure foodstuffs frotn abroad ls eagerly welcomed. The establishment. 0t dehydrating plants in this country may provide a pai-tL-l solution to this difficult problem, and at the saute time enable ott." own fat-tneixs to find n. sure markrt for a vet-y considerable iaortlcn of their vegetable crop.

Nova Scotta. both for geographic and climatic reasons. should prove the logical place for the location of one cl‘ more of the Government's proposed vegetable dchydrtttnig plants. Thi-re art- liti-ue fztrmint! areas in this province urnduclrg great. quantities of hiuli grade vege- tables, and in most. oases these agricultural areas are located near rail or steamer stripping points

Moreover, the production of dc- hydrated vegetables is by no means tinknotvii in Nova Scctizt. Attempts to develop the liitlusirv in this prov- lnce have been ntntlo more than once, and the pi-otlttcts which were but out. were received with high ap- proval. But for bitslitess (ilffictiltlcs cf one sort and tlllilillfll‘, the dehyd- rating of vetaotitblcs would have long since become an established Industry ln Nova Scotiti.

Wltli an assured tnarket. the land and the experienced grctvers, the plants which are now to be set tip under GC\'€l'l1I‘|lL‘l‘.L attsplces should tirove not only a valuable contribu- tion to the 11-111" effort, but a (lEfi- nlte asset to tlit- azrlcultural lutcr- ests of this province.
