When the time came for his noon-tide meal and rest, he opened his primitive milk container in order to drink, but to his amaze- ment, instead of the milk with which he had filled it at dawn, there trickled forth only a clear, watery fluid. Startied, he slashed open the skin bottle to explore what had happened inside, and saw that a cream-white, Bemi-solid, lumpy mass had formed. Tasting it, he found it good. Relating his experience on his return to the camp at the end of day, his tribe from that time forward, often ex- perimented with part of their milk- supply, and this, if credence may be placed in an age-old tradition, was the beginning of cheese as a popular and constant element of the ever- changing and at all times variable diet of mankind. Down through the ages this "milk- product" has continued as a staple article of food, although prepared in widely differing ways today. From available information it is interesting fo note that Switzerland leads the world in per capita cheese consump- tion with 23 Ibs. per year. Holland, France, Denmark, - Italy, -Germany and Great Britain rank next in that order, while Canada stands eleventh with slightly less than four pounds per head per annum. A "National Cheese Week" has been declared in Canada for Novem- ber 9th to 14 and it is the hope of all governments and sponsoring dairy associations that citizens of the Do- minion will become a little more "cheese conscious" as a result of this drive. Canadians have a great stake in the cheese industry, over 316,000 farmers in Canada producing milk for market. Cheese utilizes seven per The cent. of this production, and 17 per cent. of our total nopulation is direct- ly dependent on the dairy industry for a living. Boost your family consumption of cheese this next month to help agricultural prosperity and your own nourishment. ~ Oo 0 MORE ADVERTISING; BETTER TIMES Industrial bright spots throughout the Dominion and the United States continue to accumulate and confirm the growing feeling in everyone's breast that that mysterious "corner" has actually been turned and is now well behind. In fact in the more cultural circles it is now passé to mention the recent depression as a topic of conversation. Railway car loadings have shown a steady increase throughout the year, indicative of a broad upward trend in industrial activity; retail sales have been steadily advancing 'while the general commodity price level has been strengthening. While construc- tion contracts awarded have lagged behind the general trend there is a belief that construction is now swing- ing into the advancing line alone with other heavy duty industries, such as steel. . Newspaper advertising in October showed more than a normal gain, ac- cording to '"Printer's Ink," with an increase of almost 3 per cent. over September, and five per cent. over August, which was described as exceptional. This gain represents national advertising in the weekly as well as the daily field, being reported by general advertising agencies. It is a happy augury of better times and this paper is happy to report a steady increase in advertising lineage throughout the year, both national and local, which shows that business men are again of an optimistic frame of mind and that consumers are loosening their purse strings and buying in increased quantities. o FLAME-RED POPPY REPRESENTS SACRIFICE The symbolism of the poppy, the sorrowful appropriateness of blood- red bloom; takes on a deeper signi- ficance with each succeeding year. The Great War is passing almost into legend; a generation is bequeathed the duty of carrying into the years that have yet to come the work and the ideals of those whom the poppy commemorates. Canada has adopted the poppy as a symbol because of the 60,000 graves in Franic and Belgium in which lie the dead of the proceeding genera- tion, because of the 170,000 Cana- dians to whom the conflict brought disablement of one kind or another. crosses in . the cemeteries of Flanders are garlanded with poppies --dolorous emblems of a nation's youth consumed in the forge of war." On Poppy Day next month this Dominion will pause in its normal activities to recall the sacrifices of its young men, to pay tribute to their heroism, their hardihood and the un- complaining fortitude with which they bore their privations and suffer- ings. At the same time, Canada strives to liquidate in some small measure, an obligation to those dis- abled men employed in the Vetcraft A ---- - a -- Black Mammy Tea Towels HE MAYFAIR NEEDLE-ART DESIGN NO. 118 On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and on throughout the week, cheerful Mammy's tea towels bring brightness into the kitchen.

These Simple Suggestions, If Fol- lowed By Everyone In the Family, Will Make Your Home Safe From Fire Put lighted matches and smokes out before you throw them away. Keep matches where small children cannot reach them. Never smoke in the garage, barn or attic, nor in bed. Remove rubbish, waste papers and all unnecessary combustible materials. Provide metal ash and trash cans. Burn rubbish only in a safely. covered brick or metal incinerator. Watch the fire! Examine all stoves, furnaces, and smoke pipes to make sure they are safe and well away from woodwork or other burnable materials. Have needed repairs made at once. Value the advice of your fire chief who says that many fires are caused by dirty or defective chimneys. Have the chimney cleaned regularly, and have all defects repaired. Escape the danger of flammable liquid fires and explosions by keep- ing no gasoline in the house. Do dry cleaning with safe liquids or send the work to the cleaner. Never start fires with kerosene. Notify the electric company of fuses with new ones=----not pennies. Avoid homemade wiring jobs. Teach everyone in the family to be careful of fire, to watch stoves, fireplaces, electric irons, and all other possible fire causes, and every day to remove old rags, papers and ° other rubbish. Remember always how to send in an alarm. If telephoning, be sure the address is clearly given. Use a neighbor's phone rather than one in the burning building. Save life and property by never taking a chance with fire. lil 4 1937 registration plates commemcrate Coronation Year with crowns and white figures on red back- ground.
