attendance at the office from mondays to thursdays for the next month or two farm news demand factors are important in hog price the swift and practical uninter rupted uptrend of hog prices from midapril to midjune on canadian markets may have led the casual observer to conclude that the course of hog prices this summer was bound to be more or less similar in pattern to 1951 two years ago it may be recalled hogs attained alltime high levels at various markets with a record peak of 41 50 per cwt for grade a dressed hogs at montreal the third week in july a little serious reflection on var ious price making factors now as compared to 1951 indicates impor tant changes in the situation which at the same time help to explain recent market readjustmnts looking first at the supply side it seems probable that hog marketings this summer will be on approxi mately the same scale as in 1951 but here the similarity ends stocks of frozen pork in canada at june 1st this year totalled 43 3 million pounds compared to 27 8 million pounds at the same date in 191 a similar comparison for beef shows 26 8 million pounds and 6 0 million pounds respectively to tal of all meat freezer stocks this june 1st were 40 million pounds larger than in 1951 in addition there is a very substantial portion of last years pork surplus still re maining in cans this product ow ned by the agricultural prices sup port board totals over 60 million pounds and is a factor of some im- portance the beef situation has also entire ly changed from 1951 two years ago beef was the price pacesetter and with limited cattle marketings prices attained record levels this yaar with catle slaughterings at high levels and beef prices lower pork has lost its former price advan tage this is being reflected in a slowing of domestic disappearance of pork even with employment and earnings remain ng at comparative ly high levels thus while current slaughter supplies of hogs are likely to con tinue to decline seasonally to about the same extent as in 1951 sub stantial changes in the various fac tors regulating demand must be reckoned with in attempting to forecast the trend of pork consump tion and prices

said a fortnight ago 1 am a newcomer to television i am find ing it a source of great delight in some ways and of horrors in ano ther at times it seems to confirm me- in my general pessimistic opin ion that it isn t worth white man kind sweating blood to put some wrong right for when thai has been done another is sure to come into sight that is worse than its prede cessor progress is an illusion man never is but always to be blest let us tafte a very simple exam- pie we can all of us remember the dark day of long ago when we real ized that the crooner waa not mere ly in our midst but had come to slay we braced ourselves to endure that visitatidh this we said to our selves with the courage of despair is the limit we were wrong as usual the pates had up their sleeves a still worse affliction for us after the male crooner came the female of the species and now there has come alortg something far ar worse than even the lrooner i refer to the televis ion clohcup of the female mouth here again we had been warned so to speak for years we have been unable to open a popular- paper without wondering at the strange compulsion that makes the modern woman as soon as she sees a camera pointed at her put on a horse grin apparently regarding her mouth as an instrument primarily devised by nature to afford in the twentieth century a free objectlesson in the basic facts of dentistry surely we have often said to ourselves if hel en of troy had been in the habit of grinning in th s chawbacon fashion in season and ouf of season there would have been no trojan war menelaus would simply have said to the marauding paris keep her my boy keep her rather you than jne in that case of course we should never have had that immor tal line of marlowes was this the face that stopped a thousand clocks but there we can t have everything but as i have said the teleision closeup of the mouth of the female singer going ino action has brought us the worst honor of them all in opera performances in the theatre 1 have been conscious now and then that a heroine s mouth was more widely open than was consistent with facial beauty and i have ad mired the fortitude of the tenor or baritone in standing up as he did to the vast void in front of him when she passionately exhorted him to look into my heart love and provided him with every physical opportunity for doing so in the theatre however distance if tt does not actually lend enchantment to the view spares us some of the worst pains of disenchantment to drain the cup of horror to the oregs we have to go to the televis ion closeup what kindness do the gallant camera experts imagine they are doing with this what would we say to a lieder singer who insisted on standing a mere twelve inches from us in our own music room and confronting us with a vast cavern of a mouth as he bellows at us ich hebe dich or du meinc seele du mein herz yet even that procedure could not compete in hidpous blatancy with the television closeup in which in the first place the curvature of the picture exaggerates and burlesques some features of the singers face in particular broadening it and put- ling bulges on the cheekbones and widening the arch smile in a grin making her look all the world more like a ventriloquists dummy than a human being and in the second place affording ui a view into the cavernous interior that already in cludes teeth and tongue and makes us ask ourselves with a shudder where js science progresses these personally conducted expeditions into the interior arc going to end i hae lust been reading of a new lens of 80inch focal length for television cameras that is now on loan to the bbc for the previous 40inch lens it appears it was clai med that it could spot a fly on the face of a man half a mile away while in one test the lattice work of an aerial mast three miles away was shown on the monitor screen in clear detail and now i gather these wonders are to be multiplied by two shall we have them applied right away to the closeup of the female singer i hope not the present ap paratus surely provides us with all the viewer needs m the way of min gled exasperation and ribald amuse ment in that field the bbc must have a rich collection of these atro cities by now i venture to suggest that it should preserve them as a television chamber of horrors and reel them off to us in quick succes sion for a quarcr of an hour every now and then not only would that toe grimly entertaining for us ordin ary viewers but the singers concer ned would have a chance to see themselves as others have seen them on these dreadful occasions after some recent experiences have been brooding tensely on the hilarious possibilities of tragic opera on television but that is a subject that will have to wait
