JUDGES WHO NEED GOOD NOSE

CHEESE TESTING

SECRETS

"A cheese-taster has to be born. You elther are one or you are not. The great secret is a good nose."

In these words Mr. J. Hugh Mackle. of Castle Cary. Somerset. a judge in the cheese section of the show at the Royal Agricultural' Hall, summed up the character- istics of a good cheese-taster.

Mr. Mackle knows. He is 70 and has spent 55 years in the trade... During that time he has judged many, many thousands of che-

cses."...

Yesterday the judges walked through the ranks of the thousand cheeses entered Cheddars. Caer- phillies, Stiltons, and the rest.

HUMOROUS ITEMS Two humorous items that were given a great reception were a sketch acted by two well-known comedy stars, Mr. Tip Yan-po and Miss Lee Yee-wa, and a short, too short in fact. piece entitled "Oh, Soldier. Soldier." The Arst was acted by experts and it is not sur-sharpness.

This schedule, however, has no effect upon departures from Hong Kong. because the crew resting here the previous week will take the plane from Hong Kong the day after its arrival, for the return flight.

least to do with it, nor was aware of its nature. If such is the case, then indeed there must be a lot of hidden stage talent amongst the St. Paul's girls.

JOYCE WANG

Miss Eva Turner, who, with Mr. William C. Knight and Mr. Lind- say 4 Lafford, had kindly con- sented to take part in the concert, was in ne voice and all three helped in the success of the even- ing. Mention must also be made of the excellent announcing of Miss Joyce Wang. Miss Wang, we un- derstand, is President of the Pupils' Association and is due to graduate this year. She has the reputation of being a talented student and plans to continue her studies and music overseas

It is also announced that several local travel bureaus are planning group excursions to Manila and Baguio for the coming season, due to the exceedingly low round-trip fare of US $65 'to Manila and re- torn.

PLEASANT TRIP

No sooner had the Clipper ar- rived Capt. La Porte and some of the passengers were interviewed by a "Daily Press" representative. They all sald that they had a very uneventful but pleasant trip which proved most satisfactory and comfortable.

We are informed that over $1,300 was realised by the Concert.

For. paradoxically. Mr. Mackle never tastes * cheese. though other judges were to be seen nibbling.

"Smell touch and taste" he said, "that is the rule for many experts, but my nose tells me nearly everything.

"If the cow which provided the milk for the cheese had eaten something unusual, garlic, let us say. I could immediately detect it from the cheese aroma."

"It is like wine or tea-tasting, a specialised art. I do not think you can acquire it If it is not born in you. It is like some people being colour-blind My father was а cheese expert (hearly all his days. and I suppose I inherited it.”
