The Brussels Post, 1948-2-11, Page 3"Milking" Clouds May Stir Up Big Argument in West Experiments in artificial rain- making --- "milking the clouds" is what some call it - have attracted much attention in many parts of the world, especially in dry and semi-del/ea areas. Now a rancher out in the : ia.te of Nevi.da has actu- ally filed r elailn on the moisture above his ranch, with the idea of seeding the clouds with dry ice or silver iodide, for the purpose of filling Itis reservoirs with precious water. This claim - which at first was greeted wiih laughter and taken as a joke - actually may he the Means of starting a big controversy; for water is so valuable in some sec- tions of the west that any hold on its possession is hotly defended. While In the Eastern States no one has a claim to ownership of the water that flows through the land, out west it is just the opposite, and a man who can establish a claim as the "first beneficial user" it allowed to make use of al' the flowing water his claim calls for, even though a neighbor just below him thereby goes entirely dry. Much of the moisture which falls on interior. 3 :.tern sts.tes comes from the Pacific Ocean. Should people on the western side of the Pacific slope decide to gb in for "milking" the clouds before they pass across the mountain ranges it might have a 'ecided effect on the entire 000110 ty of the interior areas. Whatever the final result, it would set in as if both lawyers and engi- neers will have many problems to solve befure the platter is definitely settled. STUFF AND THINGS 'Look who dropped in, on his way to the happy haunting ground!" Magazine "Facts" Need a Recheck • In a recent issue FORTUNE - the magazine that sells for a dollar a copy and seldom mentions any- body iowtr down in the social scale then a millionaire - published soralethi g of a "blurt" at Canada. The article, among other things, said that."in an even race Kansas wheat grower-: alight put Canadian growers out of business" - the reason being that our farm research was so greatly behind that in "God's c untry". Canadians who pay any attention to this kind of thing are having a quiet smile to themselves over such nonsense. According to the C.P.R. "Agricultural and Industrial Pro- gress in Canada" the world's wheat championship - decided annually at the Chicago International Grain Show - has been won by Cana- dians just 20 times -out of 33 shows held -since 1911. More than that, all four of the wins by non -Canadians were on [cheat from Montana - which lienalong the Canadian bor- der; and the prize-winning grains were all varieties either originated in this country, or from a dscendant of Canadian strains, It would seem as if FORTUNE alight do a 1;tole checking out its much - publicized "fact - checking" staff. Bachelor and Hockey Bobby Soxers-Marlboros' Johnny Mc Cormack, leading scorer in the OI -IA senior mace, has other worries besides bagging his quota of goals for Joe Prnneau's team. They're obviously pleasant worries, however, as you might discover from this picture of Johnny instructing his S t. Mike's (U of T) hockey team.

Sports And One Thing or Another One of our fenlin'ne readers -we might say that the lady is a violent supporter of the Montreal Canadicns and not feeling any too good about the state of the world at present - writes regarding a certain well- known member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. "I understand that many years ago there used to be a song entitled AND BIG BAD BILL IS 'SWEET WILLIAM NOW'. 1 wonder if you could get a copy of it, and send it with my compliments to 'Bad Man' Ezinirki. Ever since one of our boys gave hint a mild going- over in Montreal 'Big Bad Bill' seems to have lost a lot of that nsuclt adver- tised fight of his -just another of the kind that loves to dish it out, but ca i t take Br * * * Personally, we have no particular feeling either way regarding Mr. Ezinicki - or any other professional athlete, for that matter. There was a day when we' could follow, with intense and even passionate interest, the progress -or lack of it -of some pro. team. But that day is in the dint and distant past. It goes hack to the time when a great Canadian Sports Editor -Francis Nelson, by name -gave us a little advice which really opened our eyes. * * * We bad been bewailing to Stir. Nelson the fact that "Our" team -- if memory serves aright it was the old Tecumseh's Lacrosse Team -was getting the worst of it from some hated rival, and appeared to be in great danger of losing its last chance for the Chmnpionship. * * * "Don't worry about it too touch,' advised 112r, Nelson. "Just remem- ber this -if you were to go into diose dressing -rooms, right now at half- time, and switch the uniforms on those two teams, they'd prolably be bottling one another just as hard when they cane on ,hc field again." * * * Then he added something we have always remembered, and frequently Cup for Top Score -Cup donated by the Guernsey Cattle Breeders' Association of Ontario for highest standing in Ont- ario calf club projects is presented to Lloyd Balsdon, RR2, Sharon, by Bruce Hodgins, field secretary of the association, With them is George I-1, King of Oakville, past president, By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic") quoted. 'When you look at any pro- fessional sport, if you see a good game you've had your money's worth. If it's a poor game, CVCn the fact that it might be for the champion- ship of the world doesn't slake it any different. .4 mate a r athletes, playing strictly, for the fuel of it, have no obligation to thick too much about the spectators but it's differ- ent with professionals, who if they put 00 a fame exhibition. are cheat- ing those Tadao make - their living possible." * 4t * Here, we seem to have got slightly off the trail of Bill Ezinicki - and whether or not la's lost smite of the battling spirit that has characterized hien for the past couple of seasons. Our personal feeling is just the same as it has always been -that Ezinicki is a colorful and potentially -great hockey player who was being exploit- ed, mostly by irresponsible sports writers, to his own great disadvan- tage. * * * Billing Ezinicki as a "killer" and all that sort of tripe might help well the box-office tally, and draw extra customers who came only to holier "Get Ezinicki" every time he stepped on the ice. That's very fine, especial- ly for the type of "sports" promoter whose idea of the greatest game of the season is the one which broke the last attendance record. * 8e * But just suppose that Eginicki- spurred to more intensive efforts by those hostile shouts, he being that type of athlete -should by some mis- chance injure an opponent really seriously, perhaps even fatally. In less tithe than it takes for you to read this, he finds himself suspend- ed, maybe banished for life, * * * inside a month all we TP)tifers who hammered out s0 team' greatly - needed columna front his doings - to say nothing of the promoters who cashed in on his drawing -powers - would have practically forgotten him completely, or almost so. If II1t'. Eeiuirki has pulled in Itis horns a trifle -is no longer letting himself be made the sacrificial goat for at entire chub, et'e think he has born very well advised. Coaches and managers who stress the "fighting qualities" of their teams have a Jot to answer for. If the penalties fel! as heavily on them as on those they incite to .such. Prowess, maybe they too would "tool out" a trifle. 4, * 41 A week or s0 ago we wrote some. thing in praise of the British Boxing Association for its action in curbing the broadcasting and televising of fights in future.

All modern Druggieta, later wrote along the sante line, and spealcs about how the increasing popularity of television threatens the very life of sport, not only ;n Britain, but on this Continent as well. * * * "It appears," he says, "that the British fight fan is getting his enter- tainment practically everywhere but at the place where fighters are fight- ing and ticket sellers selling tickets. The boy's might be fighting at the bottom of the Suter Canal for all they are drawing at the gate. The big shows are playing to peanuts, and the small shows folding up." * * * Well, we can picture it as a very sweet thing indeed -to sit by your home television screen and, in a single Saturday afternoon, tune in and see a few innings of World Series Base- ball, some scraps of American and Canadian football, the finish of some of the most important horse races of the day, and various other items of the sort -all without the slightest exertion- If you have the only tele- vision set in your vicinity and can charge the neighbors a small ad. mission fee, it will be even sweeter. But after a few years of it - just where the athletes are cooling front, to keep things going, is something We haven't yet been able to figure out. One Too Many A lad watching a house painter at work, said, "How Many coats do you give it?" "Two", said the painter. "Then", said the lad, "if you would give it three coats, would the third one be an overcoat?" "No, sonny", said the painter, "that would be a waste coat" Streamlined Ski Lighter and Faster Britain has produced a new, streamlined ski, said to be lighter and 10 per cent faster than any oth Ter.he new ski, likely to prove the surprise of the 1048 Olympic win- ter games, is made of steel, plastic and wood, and may later be made unbreakable. It -was tried out secretly on the Jungfrau glacier during the sum- mer by James Palmer Thompkin- son, captain of the British ski team for the Olympic games. News of the invention is begin- ning to leak out among the other teams in Switzerland -and one of the new skis has disappeared mysteriously in the night.
