We are :IOW well into the se•
con,! week of December and
Christmas is • just aretntd the
cornet' S 0 e (1) 5
Bice a Month ago
t li a t we were
counting up the
:heckles arid di-
viding them
among 1 h e fa-
mily; only it
was a year ago
and now Christ -
nes is back again, This year the
speckles wont go as far, and it
means that all of us will have to
spend our Inoue,• wisely to conte
out on top of tl c pile. However,
there are two gif s we con think of
that haven't gone up in price—and
they are gifts mat most people,
young and old, appreciate. The old
reliables are books and records, and
we can add to that—theatre tickets.
1f you have been lucky enough to
have a Saturday job at the local
store, you are all set. Farther down
the column, you will find a list of
records that we think will tnalcc
welcome gifts for the whole family
and will probably meet your bud-
get. Well, so notch for Christmas.
What's the Beef?
There are two very proud young
farmers in Ontario today. Why are
they so proud? r
Well, because the
steers

over all other beef cattle at the

Royal Winter Fair.
Tile Grand Champion Aberdeen
Angus steer, judged "The Best
in
the Show" of any breed in market
I
c as acs, was 1.110:01 and exhibited
by Lloyd Mack of Maple Grove
Farms, Rockwood, Ontario, The
animal is really a beauty, Weigh-
ing 920 poulids of solid hanmburg-
•ers, he was bought by the T. Eaton
Co., and donated to the Christie
Street Hospital.
The other young chap, who re-
ceived the King's Guineas for his
wiping Junior Champion Steer,
was 1.8 -year --old Ken McKinnon of
Hillsburg, Ontario. Nice going, fel.
lows, and we hope your interest in
Ontario farming will continue.

Sports - And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN FIARRIS
("A Sixhit Critic")
Old-time Gamblers used to havee
a variety of picturesque expressions
to describe a elan who was excep-
tionally favoured by fortune. One
of the few printable ones was "He's
so lucky f
that i' hefell l o el n a sewer
t
he'dcome up withis pockets full
1
Sat-
urday
C to the las
t
n
in November we had never
considered ourself as belonging to
the • class of those so favoured by
Fortune. But now — well, we're
not so certain.
There we were, right after lunch
that Saturday, all set for an after-
noon spent in our favourite pastime
— thinking of all the chores we
should be attending to, and not
doing a single one of them, The
East-West football final? What's
the sense of going out in that crisp
November air just to watch the
Argonauts go through the %lotions
of giving the Winnipeg Bombers a
football lesson. To Heck with it!
Argos are as good ns wheat in the
bin, and we're not going to stir a
single foot. And then, it must have
been Lady Luck herself who whis-
pered in bur car and persuaded us
to go.
4 " *
If we hadn't — Oh, brother, what
a grand succession of thrills we
would have missed! Whenever a
youthful sports fau waxes enthus-
iastic over some gams he's seen
some veteran is always around to
ice -water the ardor by saying, rather
patronizingly, "Yes — but you
should have been there back in the
old days when dear old Whoozis
tangled with \Vhatsitsnane." \Are
have clue more than our share of
that sort of tiling ourselves. But
now we freely and publically take
it all back. For sustained drama
and exciteifent there never was
anything to touch that Argo - Bomb-
ers affair before, go as far back as
you like. We doubt very much if
there will be again. If you were
one of the 20 -thousand or so at
Varsity Stadium on Not. 2911).
you'll be able to tell your great-
grrndso:s that 'they ain't seed
notlnin!" in a football way.
As to the rights and wrongs of
the proposed partitioning of Pales-
tine we have no opinion — not
knowing enough about such compli-
cations to express one. But we will
hazard just one guess. After taking
Side -Saddle Bike—'.Ctillio Lo
Monaco, of Milan, Italy, be-
ieves that a fellow should have
his girl at his side, even when
bicycling. So he invented this
side-saddle hike, on, which both
riders pedal hitt only one
steer's.

When it conics to the fine art of
sports publicity — of keeping their
game in the public consciousness
365 clays a year at the least cost —
Baseball folks are in a class by
themselves. Latest exhibit is I•Iigh
Commissioner Chandler — or sone -
body in his office — coming out in
December with a "recOnunendation"
that each of the Major Leagues ex-
pand into a 10 -club group by taking
in four cities from 1110 sun -slopped
slopes of the Pacific.
This, will be good for untold
reams of free newspaper space at a
time when really live baseball news
is scarce. But we doubt if embody,
including the I-ligh Commissioner
himself, imagines for a moment that
this "recommendation" will get any
farther, with the baseball moguls,
than "noted and carefully file'.] —
in the waste -paper basket."
Just for one objection to the pro -
905111, any real baseball matt will tell
you that a 10 -team group is too un-
wieldy — too far (rout the bottom
to the top. The fans who will sup-
port teams running in seventh and
eighth places are fairly scarce. Out
in California they might course in
paying quantities to sec a ninth or
tenth place team foe about one
season — but not much longer.
4. 4 81
We sec reason, however, why the
Pacific League shouldn't be raised
to major status for Post Season
purposes only. A Super World
Series in November or early De-
cember, played in the far West,
would draw like a poultice. 1f the
Westerners lost it could make no
difference. If they Lappened to win,
the National or American League
apologists could shrug it off with,
"Just one of those things — our
guys didn't take it seriously'.
A lady canoe all the cony flout
British Columbia to Toronto to ac-
cept a "world's championship" for
growing wheat, which she tilnllght
was worth $2000.00. Turned Pat that
the Trophy, which is "hers" fa' one
year only, is 'quite valuable — but
that, (110 actual. rash. she, teprl
amounted to only twenty dollars.
A lot ,of people seems to think that
the lady was re'her harshly used.
if'c think she was very lucky — at
least they didn't, so far as we ktfote,
ask 1ret' to pay her own admission
ticket to the short'.
* 4t 41
Are hockey players more sGsce9t-
ible to friendly atmosphere and
'home -town enthusiasm that outer
professional athletes? That is a
rather interesting question, and you
can supply your own answer. ]'lay-
ers on other National Hockey
League teams say that the Toronto
Maple Leafs are far harder to heat
on a Saturday night when they
know that the ears of all the great
coast-to-coast radio audience are
following their actions — than
they are, even 011. home ire, in a mid-
wecte game. But sone of that sort
of comment may be put down to
professional jealousy.
But here's a rather peculiar angle.
Last year the Maple Leads were the
best team in the loop — if not over
a whole season's play, at least 1011011
the chips were down at the finish.
This year, on what they've shown
they look good enough to take the
League title and repeat for the
Stanley Cup. And yet — and yet —
in their last 13 games ill the city of
Boston, covering quite a tong stretci1
of time, they haven't been able to
conte away with even a single vic-
tory, ,fust be that salt B'uston air
or something!

WINS DOW AWARD
STEPHEN ARTHUR
OF ANCASTER, ONT.,
makes wick, courageous rescue
Abig transport truck was just
beginning a night run to Wood-
stock. It was after midnight.
There was little tratlic on the
roads.
SEES TWENTY FOOT FLAME
Suddenly, above the roar of his
engine, Stephen Arthur heard a
loud crash. Then, on rounding a
bend, he jammed on his brakes.
Piled up against a tree he saw the
broken'wreckage of a car. Before
Arthur could stop his truck, a
sheet of flame leaped nearly
twenty feet from the wreck.
OCCUPANTS UNCONSCIOUS
By the time Arthur reached the
car It was blazing fiercely: The
gas -tank had blown up, spraying
the unconscious occupants with
blazing fuel. A wall of flame
confronted Arthur as be
wrenched open the driver's
door. Heedless of his own safety,
he reached into the fire, grabbed
the driver and pulled him clear.
On turning back he saw another
body in the flames. Again he
reached through the blazing
gasoline, and hauled the man
from the car. Shortly afterwards,
both men were rushed to hospital.
In spite of his efforts, Stephen
Arthur was unable to save the
life of a third victim. This in no
way lessens our admiration for
his courage in saving the lives of
two men. We are proud to pay
tribute to Stephen Arthur of
Ancaster, Ontario, through the
presentation of The Dow Award.
