grading its benefit to the consumer and to the producer is lost in the conglomeration of confus ing and to the public meaningless terms used to express the different rrades for the producer sensible grading means a premium for quality as well as a stable market for such goods in the securing and maintaining of export markets proper and easily un derstood grading is next to consis tency of supply the most important factor permitting second class and more inferior goods to be called firsts and then adopting confusing terms for better products can have but one result and that is to permit

canadian sales manager acted as chairman and with price mr gray ontario manager welcom ed the party to the plant then came the surprise of the evening denton massey yes the denton massey of the york bible class renown tha w heard so often on sunday over cfrb the theme of his address was the value of achieving of an ambition as the boys had dope in winning the trip he urged us to have a pride in our work and develop a sense of responsibility in carrying out our work if we carried this out he said that we would be able to live every day in such a way that we would bt abje to look every man in

proud a we marched 900 strong before the greatest crowd i ever saw assembled i was only one of 500 but however i felt thus and said to myself well rolks you are looking at the boys who will be supplying you with food for the next fifteen or twenty years i had then and there a feeling com- over me that i can hardly express in words i guess the pipe band tha was heading our procession may have had something to do with it eleven oclock came suddenly and with it fatigue as i noticed on my way back to the royal york toy special street car it seemed a shame to sleep with so much doing however sleep took her course suddenly and we awoke next morning all dressed for the day but qh die press was gone i guess the radio with its soothmg music from fred oullcys orchestra was responsible for our calamity the comforia of the best hotel in the briiuh empire soon braced us upfpr the day both inside and new eaton building at 735 ajn ft is simply wonderful hours have i spent pondering over
