Every time the floor price is lowered the Board is admit- ting to a larger surplus and this will be used against us when trying to make sales. I am wondering if it would not have been better for the Board to have issued a statement something like this: "The 1952 potato crop is estimated at . . . cars: to date we have shipped , cars; Which leaves us only . . . cars still to be shipped. This amount is considered small for this time of year and we do not consider the floor price any, longer necessary. Therefore we her- by suspend i't.

Once majorities begin to pile up there is no stopping them and it. is possible, though I dread to think of it. that in the not too distant. futLu'e Cheddar will dis- appear entirely from the Can- adian scene. When that. time comes we shall be in dire straits as 8. Dominion, a Realm. a King- dom, or whatever our politicians have decreed our status to ,be by then. The time will be ripe for our return to colonial status or for our annexation to the United States. For how in the world can any people remain independent politically once the sharp. nippy lane of Cheddar IS gone for ever? . . . I have no hestitation whatever in accepting the authenticity of the report. Long before it was given out it was as difficult to find old fashioned cheese in the stores as to find people iii the front pews in a halt-filled church. Plenty of cheese, to be sure, of all shapes, sizes, and hues. But THE cheese, the cheese that once upon 3. time tested on every counter waiting to be unveiled. that made day, and that helped to make Canada great and respected :- mong the nations; for that you looked in vain. shopkeepers had all sorts of ex- cuses to offer. They couldn't seem to get it any more. There was little demand for it. Thevpackuged stuff was what sold. Now we know the actual state of affairs. It was gradually being removed from its destined for extinction. If that is indeed true, and all signs pom: that way, another bright. era in Canadian history is drawing to a close. 0 If it meant nothing more than 9. change in fashion we might perhaps in -time live it down. Fashion is often fickle and un- predictable. What it gives today it can withdraw tmnorroiv and what. it withdraws today it is quite capable of restoring tomor- row or next week. But I am afraid that the pressure of fashion tells only half the story. Something tells me that what has happened to Cheddar is mere- ly a. symbol of national deteriora- tion in other ways. No great in- stitution passes solitiarily. With it invariably go those thzngs which it retpresented and symbolized. in (ms case I suggest there is indicat- ed a. noticeable and significant weakening of the sturdy qualities which characterized our pioneer forbears. In fact, our pioneering. days are over in both fact andl imagination. ' COO Think of the men who rdgezl their way westward to the great prairies and beyond, who cut paths through forests primeval and ex- tended civilization from sea. to sea. Does anyone in his right mind im- agine that the were satisfied with a mild, soft ch ese? No. my friends. The one material thing that spur- red them on was cheddar, hard crumbly chunks of it. historic position of supremacy and Dr to them cheese meant. one thing and one thing only, CHEDDAR.

If the majoi. ity of Canadians have said good. bye to the cheese their fmmii. loved. that is their business. it is up to the rest. of us to try am get them to see the error of the” ways by all the democratic meam at our command. And, first of at; I suppose, following the customary procedure. we shall have to send a well worded resolution to 0.. tawa. asking Mr. Abbott if he would please be kind enough to extertl a preferential hand to Cheddai This isn't. likely to do much good because in all probability the Mm. ister himself has fallen into nip popular heresy.

It was sometimes laborious read- ing, but as sawing wood strength- ens the arms. their reading gave power to the mind. Light. trash does not do that any more than fog will feed the body. And our fathers and mothers read their Bibles. A lady gave her neighbour 8. Bible at Christmas. some time later she asked her how she liked the book, "On splendid." she cried. "and they all got. mar- ried at the end of it." A lot. of people today would display about that much knowledge of the Bible. The fact is the Bible is too serious reading for many in- thin genera- tion. They crave what tickles and stirs the emotions.
