HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1947-12-10, Page 3tr New Radio System For Ontario Police In Operation Soon "We will be able to patrol thous- ands of square miles of territory with as much ease as we once pol- iced a ten -mile area," said an official of the Ontario Provincial Police in speaking about the new radio sys- tem, soon to be in operation, "In the event of an emergency it some- times took us hours to mobilize our forces. Now the sante thing can be accomplished in a mater of min - u tes." The new Ontario network will eventually serve a fleet of 300 radio - operated police cruisers, and is rated by experts as the largest and most modern, setup of its kind on the North American Continent, Four-way communication is one of the features of the system — station -to -station, station -to -car and car -to -car. General Ileadcluarters of the Provincial Police at Queen's Park will also maintain direct con- tact- with the network. Atuubcr 5 District Ileadquarters of the Provincial Police, comprising the counties of feel, Ontario and York, will be the first to inaugurate the new system, with headquarters at Aurora. Receiving and sending equipment have been installed be- tween the master station at Aurora, two 00 -watt sub -stations at Bramp- ton and Whitby, and the 21 cruisers operating in this district. Frequency. modulation units developed during the war eliminate static entirely. A new wrinkle is the magnetic despatch map. Each dispatcher will have a map of his district showing all traffic arteries, villages, towns, cities and other vital information being shown on a linen framework. Magnetized pieces of metal, molded in the likeness of police cruisers, are moved from place to place each time a position report is received from a cruiser. By this Method the despat- cher can tell at a glance the approxi- mate position of each of his cars. Altogether there will be nine Provincial Police Districts operat- ing under the new system in South- ern Ontario, and a survey has al- re;.dy been started for its extension to Northern Ontario. Similar sys- tems have been so successful in Michigan and other parts of the United States that police every- where are hailing it as the greatest step forward in many years in the battle against cringe, Canada to Operate Atlantic Weather Station—Nearing clothing designed as protection against icy spray and wind is A Malcolm Duction of Charlottetown, member of crew of Canadian frigate St. Stephen assigned to station "Baker" in the North Atlantic weather reporting, radio beacon and rescue service, New Blast aboard vessel is topped by a radar aerial which will be used in malting meteorological observations. Other instruments for giving direction and speed of wind at sea level are fastened to ends of yardarm, Famous Racehorses From British Stock The world's bloodstock buyers are looking forward to the Decem- ber sales at Park Paddocks, New- market, England, where they will be able to buy for their own_ studs some of the finest of Britain's bloodstock. It is not generally real- ized that the modern racehorse of every country in the world is de- scended from United Kingdon! stock. No breeder today will risk crossing his stock with any horse of doubtful ancestry. Instead they de- pend on the General Stud Book, published in London for 160 years, for the line of the horse. These vol- umes contain entries of all the fam- ous racehorses, now scattered throughout the world. "BRONCHO BUSTERS" Famous Stampede Makes Thrilling Film The ways of the old Wild West may be dying, but they are not dead yet. And. if you want to see how things were in the good old days of Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill Hickock, you can't do any better than to go to thc Calgary Stampede. OC course, many people cannot matte the trip- west to see this ro- mantic and exciting spectacle, so, for their benefit, the National Film Board produced a colour film which will bring the Stampede, in a manner of speaking, right into every Can- ad1^•1 cannnlmil). In the summer of 1040 a produc- tion tray journeyed westward to Calgary and recorded with movie cameras the celebrations and events which have made the Stampede famons. Later, the fila) was edited, and it is now a part of one of the circuit files programmes being shown this fall and winter in rural On- tario communities.. Bronchos Cornered The opening scene shows a cow- boys' camp as dawn is breaking over the Alberta foothills. if is barely four a,m., but breakfast is over and the cowpunchers are saddling their horses in preparation for the round- up of the wild horses, As the broncos are cornered and headed for the corral, there are beautiful "shots" of the rivers, the valleys, and the mountain background, The narrator +ri0then tells the story of the wild horses, which were first introduced to North America some four hun- dred years at,o As the. centuries passed, Many h rscs escaped, ' plied, and' roamed far to the north and the west, and .eventually found tothe foothills t their way t ti of (te Rockies in Alberta. With the broncos safely corralled, the scene shifts to the fair grounds near Calgary. There are hundreds and hundreds of visitors—farmers and tourists from all over the con- tinent. There are displays of modern farm machinery, and many cattle judging contests, Then the big events start: the Stampede is on! The first event is a wild horse riding contest, and the contestants conte from all • over Western Canada and the U.S.A. The daring riders arc lowered onto the broncos, which are securely held in their stalls, Then, the gates are open - cd, the horses charge down the chutes to the open 'arena, and .the riders are on their own, It is a thrill- ing spectacle, and a dangerous one! There are good prizes, and the cow- punchers hang on for dear life. The judges mark the entries on two points: the riding qualities of the cowboy, and the bucking qualities of Mlle horse, Risky Business The second event is calf roping. .To qualify for a prize, the cow- puncher must not only rope a calf— and a skittish calf at that—but he must pin her down on the ground. For those who might think that' this is a "sissy" contest, the next one makes up for it with a ven- geance. It is the steer -grabbing bout, and here the word dangerous is an understatement. More than one cow- boy is injured, and some barely escape with their lives. The grand finale is the "chuck wagon" race, where the old west really comes back to life. Chuck 'Iva are wagons felted up to wild, praue- ipg teats. Rvery wagon is filled to capacity with accoutrements—every- thing from frying pans to camp beds. As the starter's gun is fired, the chuck wagons roll and rattle down the trade to the finishing line. It is a thrilling spectacle, and brings to a climax this most colourful event of the year on the Canadian prairies, Sports -- And One Thing or Back in the days when we were briefly connected with the wrest!= ing business, there was one espe- cially, valued regular customcr— a prominent and wealthy lawyer, whose name you would probably recognize, and who always used to purchase six or eight of the high- est -price seats for himself and his friends. Their frantic enthusiasm, while a bout was in progress, was really something to see. But one clay, meeting hint on the street, we found hint in a most critical state of mind. He said he'd begun to suspect that wrestling wasn't on the level—and that Ile wasn't go- ing to give it his patronage any longer. k t * Asked for his reasons he told hots, on Thursday evening, he had seen one of the main-boutcls car- ried from the arena apparently very badly injured—and next day had heard rumors that the wrestler lay in hospital suffering from con- cussion and possible skull fracture. He had even been thinlcing of sending flowers until—happening to pick up a Buffalo Saturday paper—he had been amazed to note that this very sante grappler, miraculously restore(: to (health, had taken pert in a torrid bout in that city the previous evening. "So I think it frust be crooked, and I've had enough," he concluded. * 4: a However, knowing something of the ways of sports fans, we weren't too much surprised to sec hint in his regular seat the following- week, ollowingweek, yelling his !lead off in a frenzy of excitement. ".Even if they are all a bunch of fakers," he ex- plained, rather shame-facedly, af- terwards, "while they're in there they make.,nae feel that they're try- ing to tear one another apart— and I'nl not going to miss it." * * 'l' Somehow, we couldn't help thinking of this gentleman lately. The sport of boxing has been shak- en by a series of scandals, the lat- est being the very smelly L,a Mot- ta-Fox affair in New York. "These fakers are killing the game 1" wail- ed the sports scribes from Coast to Coast. So what happens? The Joe Louis -Joe Walcott heavyweight tiling—a worse 'overmatch: than David vs Goliath because Walcott won't be allowed to carry rocks. and probably couldn't wits even if he did—will draw a sellout gate of over a quarter of a million, And if they'd had the crust to charge $100 'tops' the place would hare been just as crowded. The moral Aw—just write your own! * * * Perhaps you have noticed some. thing Of the sante kind too—belt 10 fa the most anmming thing about the recent Ottawa announcement of va- rious Imo bans and `austerities' 50115 the n,rnllier of ort: friends who had been preparing for winter trips to pIJ_IE Nolltng elan you can buy 1�" 1155 rho 00100 Internal n0• lion Its PYLTONIO PILE REMEDY.

Similarly, as we see younger generations taking their licks at becoming future hockey stars, wa cannot help noticing that it is practically- always the smallest kid in the gang who is set to guard the nets. All the others are up there emulating Apps, Richard and the rest of the great goal -getters. Those who aim to become Turk Broda's, 13i11 Durnan's or Frankie Brinisek's are few and far between. Perhaps this is only natural, as goat -trading is — according to those who do it for a living — a thankless business. Still, if we were advising any kid who really wanted to shine at hockey, our advice would be to take a real whack at twine -tending. Just think of what the Chicago Black Hawks would give for a goalie of any- thing like the class of the three just mentioned, for example` right this minute, * ' * 5 771' whole world is suffering from a .severe attack of the jitters—wor- rying over a heap of things that will probably never happen and which, if they do, zoo are helpless to prevent. rr'e can't help wondering if a lot of it isn't due to most of us trying to absorb far more nears of the world than we can digest. We know one real who, in addition to reading three daily papers, listens to at least six daily newscasts and SOWS com- mentaries, and is in a constant stare of apprehension that threatens this mental and physical health. His great- grandfather didn't event hear of the Rattle of Waterloo till six weeks after it was decided—and wouldn't have been a bit better off if he'd had a ploy -by -pint' dccriptiosl,right from the battlefield, * * * It may be I sign of the times— and then again it may not. But spectators at Big League hockey games are getting much more cri- tical than they have been in the past few seasons. Booing, and that special sort of :laud -clapping which is by no means applause, both break out among the fans at the slightest provocation; and players who have been wont to hear their slightest moire greeted with approv,l are having their ears shocked by the raucous Razz - berry and shouts of "Get in there and show us something." Well, retail merchants with plenty of goods on their shelves find buyers more "choosey" than when there is a buying panic on; and although attendances have shown little sign of falling of ds yet, it may be that hockey custom- ers, too, are looking for quality, and are getting a bit tired of hav- ing a combination of speed, skat- ing and duck -on -the -rock passed over the counter as "Canada's greatest sport."
