TOO MANY BOOKS
Lord Tweedsmuir whimsically confessed to the Canadian Association for Adult Education that he has written "far, far too many books."
"I have a terrible weight on my conscience in the shape of a number of books," the Governor-General told the association.
"I suppose I have been everything in my time connected with books. .1 have been printing machinery, I have been a printer, a publisher, I have owned a paper, I have been a writer, I have reviewed books. I think there is nothing about books I haven't done, and I have written far, far too many.
"But when I have said that, let me hasten to add that the written word is one of the greatest things in the world. It provides a stable faith iri the shifting sands on which we stand today."
