HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1948-1-14, Page 3Sports — And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic") Coming away from an alleged Lockey contest, played with absence if Christmas or any other sort of Ipirit during the recent holiday sea- son, a veteran onlooker at Sport--•-- Nho had peacefully snoozed through most of the final period ---came out with a crack which we think worthy of repetition, * * * "The difference between a bad hockey game and a punk baseball game is this," he said. "In baseball, no matter how little the hired hands feel like playing, they know tihat they have to keep on until one side gets at least 27 of the other guys nut. But in hockey, if the boys are feeling a little tired, they realize that as soon as the `.lock ticks off sixty minutes, they're through for the night.' * * * \"e personally feel that there's a lot in what he said; and that the present-day custom of seldom if ever playing overtime, but settling for a split of the points at the end of the regulation hour, has done modern professional hockey more harm than any other single feature you could mention. If the hockevists knew they had to play to a finish—or that no poi -its would be awarded to either side in case of a tic --there would prgllaidy be a whole lot more real action for tine cash customers. —Maybe you've already heard it; but we rather enjoyed this rri'i'isnr of American and Canadian radio made by it noted Fres-h commode - tor.

Chicago is by no means situated in the Tan- ana belt; and sitting outdoors there for several hours on the 28th. of December isn't most people's idea of a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Being slightly screwey isn't absolute- ly essential for a football fan; still, it undoubtedly helps. * * * During the Christmas season on acquaintance of oars made an assault on the poetic nurse which we pass en to you wit/tall! comment; "Goad King id'cneeslatns went out. On the Feast of Stephen; So did I—just like a light -- Now the score is even." * M, * A scrutiny of National Hockey League figures at the year's end is rather revealing----althottglt just what it reveals we'll leave to our. readers. Leading the loop in number of goals tallied we find—of all teams—the Chicago Black Ifawks. Smallest scorers—with 26 less goals to their credit—are the Montreal Canadians. Even the Maple Leafs, sitting fairly comfortably on the top rung, were a couple of goals back of the Black Hawks' mark, * * * 1t is, of course, in the "goals against" column, that you find the real story. While Turk Broda had Leen forced to dig rubber out of the twine a mere 67 times, the unlucky nights condemned to servitude in tltc Chicago goal had been neaten for a total of 124. And while Canadians— taken on their offensive efforts— show signs of making Frankie Boucher's prediction come true by dropping out of contention, Bill Dur• uan and the rest of their rear -guard are still mighty tough to beat; and so long as they are, the Flattering Frenchnmen can't be counted out. * * * The moral would seem to be that yott could take the old proverb "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches" and, simply by changing one word—"Hanle" to "gnaltcnder"--make it fit the sport of hockey more closely than a 32 sweater on a 38 torso. * * * ..Like countless other Canadians 7c'e have long considered .leek Benny one of the cleverest comedians of the air —mrd his program one of the bast - written and prodit: rd, .But his_ posh Christmas gap about John Bull with his hands in Uncle ,Sam's po: kits caused Benny to Mks a severe slump tt the estimation of maty—n..d rte ,drill never cruse wondering hole a showman s0 astute allowed it to gel Only These With Babies Need Apply The adamant stand taken by many property owners against fam- ilies with babies has been given a severe jolt by a Portland contractor, builder of apartment houses, who will let his apartments only to those parents with babies. rind the More babies, the better Ile likes it, reports The Boston Post. Because couples with babies make the best'teuauts,-he says. The mothers are always at home, fathers are responsible, and the rept is always on time. On the other hand, ile argues, parents without children are given too much to parties, oftentimes with. the result that more damage is done than is ever caused by babies. Par- ents who have always had difficulty renting an apartment because of babies Will now take heart. Probably other property owners may soot come to the sane conclu- sion as this Portland than. No Trouble At All Mfrs„ "It's good of you, doctor, to come this far to sec my hus- band." Doctor: "Not at all, madam; not at all, I have a patient next door and I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone." B,T.O.—In the Il:igh School anti Collegiate crowd those initials are used to designate some lad or lass who does things on a little more itnpressive scale than the average—such as wearing a slightly louder necktie or more striking costume. • But this project of the Ontario kIydro Commission is really .B.T.O,—a Big Time Operation. As one of a series of opera- tions on the Ottawa River, designed to help meet the steadily- increasing teadilyincreasing demand for Electric Power, by 1950 alt additional 640,000 horse -power should be on tap. Alfnost three million pounds of high explosives will be used to shatter the rock- bound face of the main project site and, when activity reaches its peak next summer,, approximately three thousand leen will find employment there, It Didn't Look Like This Just A Few Year s Ago—What a little well-planned remodelling will do to even badly run-down farm properties is Vividly portrayed in the National Film Board picture "Farm homes Beautiful" reviewed in the accompanying article. Above is an "after -taking" shot of one such house. Farm Homes Beautiful The. West's and Simpson's are two typical farm families of Easterli Can- ada, During the depression, they ran into low prices for their produce, and hard times. There was no money to spare; the farm fences fell into disrepair, the buildings went without paint; and trees, shrubs and flowers wel'e luxuries they just couldn't afford. Today, however, things are differ - est. Conditions have improved the farmer's kit, and he can now pay sotne attention to these details, which, although they can hardly be said to increase the farmer's income, do help to beautify the farm hone. In Natural Colors There are probably many farmers who would like to beautify their homes and grounds: but where do they go for suggestions? There arc many manuals and pamphlets on the subject, but one can get a good, gen- eral idea of what can be done by seeing the improvements made by the West's and the Silupsou's, in a filet very recently produced by the National Filet Board for the Depart- ment of Agriculture, entitled, 'Farm Homes Bea utifttl". "Farm homes Beautiful" is a twenty minute filet. produced in natural colour koclacht'ome. As it aliens, you see a disappointing patt- ortua of a number of farms in east- ern Canaria which have had in do without repairs for many years. Trees and flowers are entirely absent, and the air of disrepair, engendered by broken fences and unpainted buildings seems to have lcd to gener- al untidiness and carelessness. These Farmers "Do Something" The camera moves on and finally comes to rest on the farms of the. Simpsons and the \Vests. These fami- lies have conte to the conclusion that the time has conte to "do. something". The Simpson's decide first that their lawns has possibilities: at least, they decide that A lawn would have possi- bilities. They clear the space that can be used for this purpose, and they fertilize it. A flower border is dug and shrubs are planted around the house. Then, so - that the fru:lily can appreciate the fine view they have, created, they cut down. a few of the trees that hindered their view—trees that had grown unsightly and un- wieldy. -wieldy. Nest, since the house is brick, the. Simpson's tear down an old woollen l'erhandah that was in tumbledown condition and no longer served any useful purpose: it had been left standing because it had "al- ways been there". The West's tackle the job of beau- . tify their ]tome in mucin the same manner. The materials they use come for the most part from their own farm. property. Steps leading up to the doorway are made from stones hairiest in from the fields. Cedars from the woodlot forst the hedge— gins a few sht'tlbs obtained from a nearby nursery. To finish the job around the house, a number of wood- en window flower boxes are painted brightly, to add freshness and colour. Around the outer side of the house, and old wire fence, which has long since outlived its purpose and is get- ting in everyone's way, is torn Clown and discarded—in • a similar mantle' to an old; weather-beaten toolshed, which through the years has evolved PJIES-altodern Medlin! nets Li nice has overcome ali- ments formerly thought linnosolhle.

But this is :not necessarily so. A great deal of the success of such pro- grammes comes from using ordinary common sense and in laying out a phut beforehand. This way, lanes, fences and flower borders can be ar- ranged for the greatest convenience. Young trees can be used for back- grounds against tine farmhouse, and can serve the purpose of concealing the foundations, if this is desired. Shrubs can help here too, because not only do they improve the appearance of pathways, but they can also bide the necessary eyesores. A whole section of the film is de- voted to the decorative value of such flower bed favourites as lilacs, holly -- hocks, daisies and iris. Sample lay- outs of flower beds are clearly shotrn,as well as overall plans show- ing the relations between such flower beds and the farmhouse and its trees and shrubs. To the farmers who might already have seen the film on the rural filet circuits in Ontario this fall and winter, "Farm homes 'Beautiful" has provided the germ of an idea on fare..: beautification — and some practical suggestions as well, The Whites Lead Popular belief that the yellow races comprise the bulk of the earth's population has been debunk- ed. The "white" Caucasaid races h ve a larger membership than have the Mongoloid and Negroid races together. The present day world's population of 2,500 million is about 52 per cent Caucasoid, 40 per cent Mongoloid and but eight per cent Negroid. Furtherunor', the "white" races rt.pidly are widening the gap. Au- thropologists estimate that' during the last 300 years, the Negroids have increased 100 per cent, while the Mongoloids hale increased 200 per cent. But the extremely pro- lific "white" races have multiplied themselves 700 times! HAUCK FLAME HUN 2,000.

Winnipeg Manitoba Canada Your Handwriting and You By Alex S. Arnott Writing Habits Miatf writers subconsciously write their every day habits into their writing. The writer with a quick temper has the habit of staking the letter "1" crosses with the finish of the stroke like the point of a weapon, as a dagger or spear. There are three excellent exatnples of this type; of "t" shown in the illustration for you In Stildy and recognize in your correspondence. When yon go fishing you take along the type of hoot: you will need to catch the fish of the sine and kind you arc after. Likewise, the writer whose habits are to acquire things, to reach out and grasp, to hang on to idents and principals, will make hooks in the writing as shown in the second illtstrati,rn. Notice that there are three sizes of hooks— small, Inediunt and large, indicating the extent to which the writer will exercise will power to obtain and acquire. The larger the !took, the more and the bigger are the things the writer desires to acquire. Domineering persons have a way of indicating that they wish to have their own way by making strokes heavier at the last than at the begin- ning. These strokes, when examined closely, take the shape and form of a club, something to use in getting others to bend to the writer's will. The reader should keep in mind, however, that a very small portion of writing with one example of the above signs does not necessarily re- veal these characteristics. Several or tnany of the signs should be observed before a' decision is made. When you see a number of these signs in one writing, you lcnoty the writer has formed the habit, but an occasional hook, pointed or club like "t" bar may not be taken as a permanent feature of the writer's charcter.
