The most compelling figure in Olympic
Games trials anywhere — perhaps in the
games themselves — will be a blind man.
There's something hear-catching about the
blind, their struggle against the unkind and
tragic blows of Pate that have robbed them'
of the opportunity to see the physical beaut
ies and the color of a very wonderful world.
And there's something even more poignantly gripping and profound-
ly impressive in the struggle of those in the dark to maintain some
parallel with the life they cannot see.
So we believe that an almost blind athlete, who has completely
lost the sight of one eye, and the other seriously affected, offers a
most heroic figure among the great athletes of this continent who
will compete for places on the United States Olympic team.
The gallant athlete in question is Bill Bangert. He finished
fourth in- the shotput feature of the National Indoor track champ-
ionships held at Madison Square Garden recently. He put the
16-pound wight 52 feet 101/4 inches, which was one-quarter of an
inch better than his title-winning -toss in 1945, Jim Fuchs, world
champion, won with 56 feet, 31/s inches.
the remarkable part of Bangert's feat was that the almost
sightless athlete had to be led to the putting ring where, of course,
he was on his own.
Amazingly, this blind young giant's recent effort was better than
any Olynipie record prior to that of the London Games,when W.
M. Thompson won with 56 feet 2 inches. In that event the great
American athlete, Fuchs was third with a put almost exactly the
same as Baugert's 53 feet, 10%2 inches.
, The mighty Ralph Rose, four times U.S. national champion and
twice Olympic winner, could not do as well as this sightless boy
has done. Rose's best was an oven 51 feet.
Bangert's determination and tremendous courage in the face of
a disheartening physical condition, are typical of his entire life--
in business, sports. Before his eye-sight failed, he eras a varsity
football player as well as shot and discus star at Missouri Univer-
sity and later at Purdue, He reached the national amateur heavy-
weight boxing final. He made a success as a road-builder. He even
did a good job as a singer, but it took too much time from business.
The world will wish this gallant soul well in his battle for
Olympic fame. Indeed the world admires all athletes who, despite
physical handicaps, make their way well along the athletic trail.
But those who live in the twilight of vision far below the normal
are the most compelling of all, and it is amazing how, in several
varieties of sport, they have risen above a deficiency which might
be thought insurmountable.
Athletes whose eyesight is below normal dot the baseball picture.
There are a dozen be-spectacled stars in baseball, in the major
leagues, several in the minors. They are by no means blind, of
course, but their eye-sight is not good... Yet they have overcome
that handicap. Several players in major hockey have worn glasses.
Hal Lay-coe of Boston Bruins is one. When Canadiens won "the
Stanley Cup in 1946, one'of their stars was the whirlwind "Dutch"
Hiller, a little bit of a be-spectacled player who could really fly,
but whose defective vision forced him to wear heavy glasses.

O/C. E. A. D. Hutton, CD, Com-
manding Officer of RCAF Station
Clinton, challenged anyone under
his command to a duel, The
challenge was accepted by ,SIL G.
J. Bury, Assistant Chief Instruc-
tor at 1 Radar and Cemnaunica-
time School. The weapons were
golf clubs; the site chosen was the
miniature golf course and the.oc-
casion Was the formal opening of
this latest addition to the rec-
reational facilities for the person-
nel of Station Clinton pm their
leisure time.
SIT, Bury arrived on the scene
attired in plus fours and sun glas-
ses. With him were his seconds,
cadi, (ELL Don Sproul) hidden be-
hind a grotesque mask and wear-
ing swimming trunks and white`
shirt, and a general nuisance
maker (F/L Bob Barret) form-
ally clothed in ate hula skirt and
wooden shoes.
A hush fell over the assembled
crowd as the challenger, QC Hut-
ton, strode confidently onto the
green in shorts, tweed cap, T-
shirt and binoculars with his
daughter, Mary, as cadi.
SIL Ray Henderson, chairman of
the Station Entertainment Com-
mittee, officiated as referee. He
explained carefully the green
rules and called the players to tee
Of on 'No. 1. G/C Hutton made a
fine drive through a tricky tune
nel but the ball lodged in a wood-
en shoe which Mysteriously aps
peered at the exit of the tunnel.
Relatively few of those who had
access to the green were wearing
wooden shoes and the referee
pointed an accusing finger at SIL
Bury's eadi who happened to be
wearing only one such foot cov-
ering at the time.
Then it was SIL Bury's turn.
Confident of at least a birdie, he
tee'd off with a No. 1 wood but his
ball failed to emerge from the
first tunnel. On investigation it
was found that the exit was tem-
porarily blocked by a tweed cap.
The bare headed Group Captain
repudiated any knowledge of how
such an unnatural hazard could
have appeared so suddenly.
From then on the rivals settled
down to strictly legitamate golf
and many fine shots were made
with an old broom and club hand-
les used in billiard cue style. After
three quick holes-in-one, SIL Bury
commanded the lead in spite of,
rather than because of, his assis-
tants. Then the grueling pace be-
gan to tell and GIC Hutton gained
steadily to tie the score on the
17th and finished the 18, hole
course in something over par, Sit
Bury's final score is not available
as yet. When last seen he was
still digging divots on the 1Sth.

RCAF Publication
Another sparkling publication
has made its appearance among
the growing list of station news-
papers and magazines put out by
RCAF units. It is the "Voxair",
a slick paper magazine issued by
RCAF Station Winnipeg, and
which has promised a re-appear-
ance every three weeks.
Edited by Flying Officer K. J.
Reid of Kingston, Oat., the name
of the new publication- is a short-
ened version of its adopted slo-
gan, "The Voice of the Air Force"
In common with 'other similar
Service publications, the Station.
Winnipeg news organ is put out
without drawing on public funds
and on the off-duty -time of its
staff.
Editorial board of "Voxair", in
addition to its editor in chief,
includes Flying Officer F. G.
Bolan, of Creekside, B.C., news
editor; Flying Officer S. D. Call-
in of Vernon, B.C., art editor;
Flying Officer V. P. Cruikshank
of Kirkland Lake, Ont., advert-
ising manager; Flying Officer R.
McAdam of Vancouver, circulat-
ion manager, Flying. Officer J.
Donald of Calgary, production
manager, and Flying Officer R.
Lucas of, Toronto, business man-
ager.
Reason for the new magazine's
rather odd publication schedule
of once every three week is to
allow it to tie in with graduation
of courses by the Air Navigation
School at Winnipeg.

In the last year 16,000 workers
in Canada's textile industries have
been discharged and most of the
remaining 90,000 are on short
time. This unemployment has not
resulted from a decrease in tex-
tile purchases but from increased
imports of cheap goods.— Quick
