estly ensconsed from view. They were
a very nice looking bunch of boys and
appeared in good physical condition.
Shortly after,, the Wingham team
leaped into evidence. This aggregation
consisted of 11 members, they too
were a nice looking bunch, but their
heads were mixed, at least in color,
but certainly not otherwise. Soon the
teams were lined up for roll call and
identification, As each name was call-
ed, its more or less proud owner made
obeisance by describing a little circle
immediately in front of him.' Every
boy executed this strange manoeuvre
with an exceedingly modest and
shamefaced going on his features and
seemed tremendously elated . and re-
lieved when the ordeal was over. Then
the game was on. It's chief attraction
from the player's point of view was
the penalty box. To obtain a seat there
seemed to be to reach their highest
and most dishonorable ambition, and
when. they had served their time there-
in and obtained release they hurriedly
contrived to get back into captivity
again, and were usually successful.
But for these altogether inexplicable
deviation from virtue, the game other-
wise was a good one and the specta-
tors thoroughly enjoyed it. It showed
very clearly what a really magnificient
team our Juniors have this year. The.
word is already out they are the team
to beat, So far and they have played
two games and their record of vic-
tories is intact,
Long may it remain so.
Yours truly,
James G. Webster

his courage. It was a situation which
would have broken the heart of a less
stalwart man. What is courage? The
best definition I ever heard was;
"Fighting with the scabbard when
the sword is broken:" Truman had/
that kind of courage.
Then Dewey was not the type of
man who appealed to the American
people. He represented the man they
never knew - Truman was the Irian
everybody knew. He did not wrap his
garments about him and keep away
from them. The farmers felt that he'
was the type of man who could sit
down in the shelter of a barbed wire
fence and talk about the price of hogs.
He didn't need to do these things -
they knew he could - -and they knew
quite clearly that Dewey could'nt and
wouldn't 'if he could.
Dewey skated around the issues. He
never tried to break a lance in an at-
tack on any problem - he was always
saving lances. The people like to see
the man who faces problems, stresses
his views, voices his opinions. Of this
we may be sure Truman has establish.
ed a pattern, many will try to copy it
they will fail. It can't be done. What
Truman did came from the heart and
mind of Truman. It was in him or it
would not have come out of him.
Greatness cannot be copied, it is in-•
herent in the character of the man -
or it doesn't exist. It wasn't necessary
for me to have taken that drink, Tru-
man would have won without it.
It is good to see a great nation
express its opinion, elect its rulers,
then go on with the ordinary affairs
of life just as if there had never been
a clash of opinions. I cannot recall an
American election in which Canadian
interest was so deep. Most Canadians,
were, I think, in sympathy with Tru-
man. Slowly American opinion is be-
ing reshaped. The United States is no
longer, isolationist in spirit, it has be-
come a leader in the firght for free-
dom. Life in Canada would he very
different if Stalin dwelt in. Washing.
ton - different for us in Canada, dif-
ferent for Truman.

HOCKEY AGAIN WITH US

On Monday, the 3rd, of January, at
8 p.ai, precisely I was immersed itr

onto Municipal Election, when, with
an aggravating suddenness, my inter-
est first sagged, I then ceased, my
accusative brain, until then practically
itt atnbush, immediately retnembering
its august standing, burg into violent
rebellion against itself for the stupid-

so IVIEAN a concern as all election,

"MY 'WEEK"
By R. J. Deachman
Never in the past have I discussed
my drinking habits, but, at the mom.
ent a word or two might be appropri-
ate. I take, in the course of a year,
from three to six drinks of intoxicat-
ing beverages and never more than
one on the same day. This devotion
to the occasional "wee drop" has nev-
er affected my health but it keeps me
from being called a teetotaller which
always strikes me as a word with a
diminutive connotation.
Once this summer, when we were
on our holidays, I walked eight miles
one afternoon with a chap from New
York who always seemed tb enjoy a
walk, no matter how long. That night
I felt chilly and remarked to my
wife that I wished we had brought a
bit of rum with us. She said: "It's
over there on the dresser, has been
there ever since we came." "Isn't that
risky?" I said. "No", she replied:
"Look at the label. Do you think any-
one would want to drink my medi-
sine?" I looked, my wife's name was
on it, the name of the doctor and the
instructions: "Two tablespoons every
two hours when necessary." I obeyed
instructions, took two doses at once,
went to bed and slept ten hours. That
was during the first week of August,
then I quit drinking until the night of
the Truman landslide.
I wanted to see the little man elect-
ed,
,
I have a high regard for him but
I didn't think he had a chance, I
doubt if many Canadians thought he
had,' Then the news started to come
in, he looked like a winner. About ten
o'clock at night the prospects were
looking pretty bright. I remarked to
the "Little 'Woman", "If Truman
wins I will take a drink." "Take it
now" she said, "it may help Truman."
I took it and slept soundly.' .
Victory came with the morning. My
wife may have been right again - she
often is.
The victory of Truman will be a
mystery in American politics for many
years. It will be discussed when ord.
inary economic subjects have been
forgotteie One thing that helped was

an opening of the Season game too,
was' scheduled to start, half an hour
later in the Wingham Arena. My
brain stood aghast, on its hind legs,
so to speak, that it had taken no steps
to prepare itself for the wonderful
treat lying in wait for it. In disgust,
which I' usually heat for such occas-
ions, and warmed well for this one,
I threw my Star on the floor, un-
dressed myself, redressed myself, as
the emergence demanded, and in a
very few minutes presented myself at
the pay box of the Arena. With one of
my most engaging smiles (a specially
selected one) I said to the young lady
in charge. One please, How much? I
tendered a One Dollar Canadian Bill,
and not withstanding the awful deval-
uation of that token at presenf, I was
returned the quite correct change in
silver. Picking up the change pieces, I
asked the presiding authority, very
casually, if she thought the game
would b,e worth the monetary outlay
of 35 cents. She-gave me a severely re-
proving glance for asking such a silly
question and accompanied it with the
scathing remark, "I am officiating
here in a business capacity and not as
a prophet." This rebuke should have
dismayed me leit my spirits were in
good condition, and at this juncture I
would stand no intereferance with
them, nevertheless I stole into the aud-
itorium stealthily, and with rather dis-
agreeable ease had no difficulty in an-
nexing a seat, the attendance at that
time- being surprisingly meagre, as
indeed it remained throughout the
game. Soon the Walkerton team, for-
midable enough in numbers anyway,
spurted onto the ice, I counted their
heads, 15 all told, and of legs there
were 30. The heads were all black,
not a blonde or a red among them.
The legs may have been black too,
but they were very carefully and mod-
