But school can also mean 'fun— 'and plenty of it, At the mo- ment we are thinking of foot>all. The gang will be out on 11 e back field after school and you (if you are not a player) can probably be scea standing on the sidelines giving the boys the once-over and trust- ing they will be ship-shape for the first game of the season. Corn roasts on etol fall evenings with a harvest moon overhead can all add up to the fact that even if fall does mean back to the grind, it can also mean good times with the old gang. Those New Campus Sweaters Yipe' and Yow.' I-Iave you Ho- ticed the trend of those new cam- pus -styles of sweaters? The sloppy-joe is a has-been. Yes, form fitting sweaters are the cur- rent trend and we do think you'll agree that they are much more feminine than the potato° sacks we have been loking at for the past three years. We hope the girls will soon slide into the current designs, although we have no doubts, but that they will. Debates Are Good Debates are always a lot of fun — at least we think so. It ports you of the beam and clears the mind of a lot of otherwise, flunky air. With fall fairs, school fairs and the like being the highlights of the moment, debat- ing teams will be polishing up for the annual contests with their near -by neighbors. During a debate is one time, it does not pay to be ignorant. The Coke and Malt Drinkers • We had to admire the spunk of two teen-agers, who recently took Life Magazine to taslc for their continual picturing the typical teen-ager as a coke -suck- ing, Malt-slobberer with nothing to do but hang out at the local drug store listening to Frank Sinatra while holding hands under the table. The gals in their letters - to the editor; stressed the al im- portant fact, that many of the kids of today like to sit down 'occasionally and arc far too often fed up with the way, radio and the movies try to portray them. \'dc think that the kids around our town are no different from. kids of other places and the most of the younger set here, have already made up their minds what they want to be. You would be 5urpriscd to learn that most of them want a professional career such as doctors, dentists, etc. Congrats to the Soap Boxers \b'r are not thinking of racing derhys, but of the four kids who won the recent public speaking contests at the C,N.E. We conldu't get the names of the t;dmers in time for this deadline but we knew that Sudbury, Osh- awa and Brantford were among the four top winners and re- ceived cash prizes from the hands of the President of the "Ex." If anyone ever tells those kids to go grab a soap box, they'll be able to do it and make a good job of it.

"Black Bess" won open class for wagon horses. Sports And One hin, or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic') It has long been customary for us sports fans to assume the superior attitude of being wiser, tougher - minded, and infinitely harder to fool than the non -sporting public. Person- ally, we are beginning to suspect, instead, that we are just about the biggest suckers and softest touches on earth—the kind that will hold still for almost anything money -hungry promoters care to dish out. 8 5 The Toronto Argonauts—to single out just one front many—recently played two games in Winnipeg, to large and profitable assemblages, with a bunch of athletes, many of whom hadn't been even formally in- troduced to one another. They then journeyed to Ottawa for a regular league game; and it required no ex- pert eye to discern that they were still a couple of weeks short of even passably decent playing form. In other words they—and all the rest of them—were learning their rudiments and getting their preliminary train- ing in public, and at public expense. * h * Now if Sir Ernest MacMillan, for example, were to announce that he was starting n neW symphony orch- estra, a11(1 then invite music -lovers to attend his early rehearsals at reg - lar concert prices, we doubt that he'd get very far. Or if an automobile Manufacturer, readying an entirely new model, were to ask folks to pur- chase same during the period when it Was undergoing road-tests, and before its bugs had been ironed out, we imagine he'd run the risk of being laughed to of business. Yet we hard-boiled sports addicts, year after year, fall for exactly that sort of thing, and with hardly a murmur at that. * * * Tt has long been one of our favorite dreams to attend some such contest, with the athletes appearing pounds overweight, short of wind, and with no desire beyond going through the motions as painlessly as possible— and then have the referee declare it NO CONTEST and tell the folks to demand - their inonc'y hack. We have grave doubts about ever living that long ---hat still we can dreamt, can't * * * l ,010' - poker is undoubtedly the finest of all card games; and it is a great merry indeed ihat the ladies have never token to it to any large extent. Thar pions thought comes right after reading the statement of the (einsoue young 11a.0 zt'ho placed Nerd in the "Afiss .4 nrrira" contest. ff''ith a- perfectly straight face sire declared .she was really very glad ,she hadn't won top honors, as it would have meant the obscuring of her "Afiss Canada" tilde 7ohielt meant so melt to her. Just imagine sitting in n game with one like that, and /13111g to figure wltrllrer .she was bluffing Or Holl * * * The quality known as 'color' in an athlete cannot be exactly defin- ed; or if it can we don't intend to bore you more than usual by try- ing, to, fro so, But it exists, never- theless, and stands out just as pro- minently as IL shiner on the eye of an usher at a church wedding. It's worth money too, batt to the ath- lete himself, and at the Lox -office —although really, 110\V We conte to think of it, those two are one and the same 111(11g. * * * Take, for instance, 111e eases of George Herman Ruth and John Mize, Jnst tta ycal•, ago, tabor The Mahe was setting his all-time honk -run record, the whole world Was watching with intense excite- ment, and every time lie bust an- other one it was front-page news. Today as we write this, Mr, lIlize is ahead of Ruth's mark of the sante date, and is a real threat to top hint at season's end. But tell anyone that Johnny ?(line has hit another four -bagger, and the chances are the response, if any, will be "So what?" * 'k * The difference? Babe Ruth had the quality which kept every eye glued to Rini even if he was only striking out, or plowing the suds off another scidcl of soda -pop: while his present-day rival, to the man in the street, is just another guy muted Johnny. It's color that does it— and it pays off too, but bigl iVc dote that some of Over con- temporaries are protesting against the modern trend toward longer skirts. :ls a veteran observer, who has watched the heal -line climb all the (tiny from rem -minus to 120% in the shade, and bark again, 151' would advise them to be of good cheer and save their breath. Io the first puns, Clothing a mere male could pns.fihly say (ril! ever make the slightest difference anyway. * * * Secondly, we emu recall some fair- ly (.1(411 y and pleasurable moments even in the erns when skirls trailed fm' in the dust, and a windy day drew nu01(3'intent onlookers to dawn - town ro'ners "for to admire and for to sec"' as 1110. tiiplinp pal it. Such memories !ming to mind the remark of the London bas-randaclor to IIIc lady reductant to mount to the upper deck in Nle presence of observers. "Just (10 right ahead, lidy,", he. ad- vised her. "I'm directly behind you— and I might inform you that, to n mon in my position, legs ain't a bit of a treat," * 4 * \\'e would like to be 1110 first to give y-01 the absolute low-down of the conning \\'orld Series between New Yoric Yankees :and Brooklyn Dodgers; and if the latter should fail to get in, the stone thing goes for the Cardinals. Regardless of which has the better hitting, field- ing or base -running averages, the series will he won by the team that gets the better pitching; and the quality of baseball displayed will be greatly inferior to what has been seen in the past, It always is; and ten years from n010 1110 experts will be fondly recalling the mighty clubs tint used to perform bark in 10.10 and 11.17. * * * 771' fatest protest We have heard about fmodern automobile stylings comes from a lady who attended one of the Aforalhon szeials at the Can- adian National Exhibition, "It's p1y rideulous," she said. "Half the ears parked, at the waterfront had no r11n(nrn f//oards, and there wasn't any glare to sit down and eat l4mc111" And so streamlining, too, 11101(/d term to have its drawbacks as well as ifs advantages. `10 Stearn Press To steam press, cover fabric with a dry wool press cloth, then with a cnttoln 010111 dampened in warns water.

CHRONICLES OF GINGE' By )wendoline P. Clarice Even though it is all over do you suppose you could stand hearing a little more about the Exhibition? You see we went again during the second w•ecic and saw and did things that were not possible the first time, It so happened 1 had an invitation from the Directors to a luncheon on the Wednesday and there being no logical reason to refuse it — not that I wanted to — we went in on that day. The luncheon was really lovely, I ant going to tell you about it so that if an invitation should conte your way another year you will not hesitate to accept it, Well, you know what the Ex- hibition crowds are like and what an ordeal it is to stand in line, often in the hot sun, and wait your turn for a table or even a cup of coffee. Imagine then leaving the milling ;(Soowd behind you, walking into a cool, airy lounge where a hostess — Mrs Aitkin— waits to greet you, If you are early you relax in one of the many comfortable chairs, if you are not so early you stand around talking with your friends and acquaint- ances until luncheon is announc- ed. nnouncecd. Then away you go into the balcony dining -room to sit at a table for four with cool breezes blowing- in from the lake. No waiting or crowding — you know when you wall( in there will be a place for yott. The service is good; the meal appetising and suffic- iently satisfying; the company congenial. After the meal 21frs. Aitken stakes a few introductions and weldones by name those who are present. Then the guest speaker is given the floor. Last Wednesday it was Mrs, Futcher, from St. Thomas, a prominent member of the W.I. who address- ed us urging us, as women of On, tario to take a more active inter- est in the problems of today .. . All in all the luncheon takes up about a couple hours from your busy day - time that you will never regret if you accept such an invitation should it come to you. By the way nearly every woman is curious as to how she conies by her invitation. Mrs. Aitken ex- plained it this way. She said — "bVe write to the mayors of the various towns within a hundred mile radius of Toronto and ask thein to send us the names of the smartest women in their district! Well, you can swallow that one or not, as you like. I thought the explanation was quite under- standable when Mrs. Aitken hap- pened to mention that her folks carte from Ireland, Isn't it pos- sible Mrs. A•, that you took more than a passing interest in the Blarney Stone? So much for the luncheon. Over at the Band Shell I found my patiently waiting partner and our next adventure was an inspection tour of "The Train of Tomorrow" That was really something to see. Yes, it was even worth the effort of standing in line for thirty-five minutes. I won't attempt to de- scribe it — you probably read all about it anyway. Let me just say, it is every bit as wonderful as any, thing you heard or read. With the blazing sun beating down on to the specially constructed glass windows they yet remained un- believably cool to the touch. Yes, we really thought it was quite marvellous, but Partner, with his practical reasoning remarked as we came out — "Yes, it is re- markable all right but at the pres- ent I'm wondering how anyone would ever get out if there was an accident. There wasn't a win- dow open that I could see nor any that appeared as if they would open." After that we left the "lex" and on our way to meet Daughter we bothagreed that for the present we would be more interested to learn something about the Stt'et-Car of Tomorrow. Not that there is anything wrong with the present vehicles — if there were enough of then. Pellet's it would be an improvement if the doors were invented that would have sufficient flexibility to bulge a little so that when one is press- ed fore and aft them would be a chance for one's lungs to 'function properly even if it were only onae in five minutes, FA NI By seven o'clock were all together again --- Partner and I, our son and our daughter, and then to round c', the day we all went to see "Welcome Stranger" and how we enjoyed it! 1t is a grand show. On the way house there was a traffic jail at the beginning of the Queen Elizabeth Way. From a Mall directing the traffic Boll in- quired the trouble. He answered— "just a bad accident up 1115 road— a three -car smash-up, that's all. You'll soon be moving." 1t was the .way he said "that's all" that got ane, Surely that was indicative of the very peak of public indiff- erence. Incidentally the accident was causal by some driver travell- ing west on the east -bound traffic lane.
