In an age that is loud with pleasure and pain, it is some- thmg to be sought for. Scripture ;:ays the Lord was not in the wind, the earthquake nor the fire, but in the still small voice. Not in turbu- lance, fui-y and chaos in reality found. The petals of the rose un- fold in silence. Soundlessly the unfold in silence. Soundlessly tht stars come out. In quiet dawn floods the newwbom east. Silently the snow descends, mists rise, clouds part and gather, sunset deepens and seasons bring each other in. Only in Quietness can one sense the rhythmof the universe. Only when noises are hushed â€" loud outward sounds and inner turbul.-.nce of thought â€" is harmony felt and known. Only then is there assurance of irre- versible good and abiding, inde- structible peace. â€" Hanover Post Beef Pricss Fair MILSON HENRY BUYS FOOTWEAR INDUSTRIES Markdale Footwear Industries, op- erating for the past year and a half by a itartnership including Milson Henry, J.

That is quite true, but, points out the Fi- nancial Post, sensational information of that kind is hardly fair to the farmer without the explanation that iri years just before the war, prices were abnormally low. During most of the 'thirties beef cattle prices in this country were at the lowest level in 25 years. Conditions started to improve with the first reduction in U. S. tariffs in 1935, but it was not until fairly well into the war period that farm prices generally approach- ed normal levels. No matter what consumers may think of the enor- mous increase in those levels since that time, in fairness to producers they should remember the vastly dif- ferent situation that prevailed not so many years before. â€" Singing is said escence â€" that is who is sick. to hasten if vou're "Did the patient take his medicine religiously?" "No, he swore every time." Everything about the air force in- terested the American visitor who never ceased to ask questions.
