Both legs are affected by the dis ®see --called thromboangiitis—which (causes a continuous contraction of leg arteries and obstructs the blood »apply to the feet. The greatest peril is that this supply may be altogether eat off, causing gangrene. it has been revealed that the King wap first afflicted as far back as last October. While shooting at Sandringham he remarked on the numbness of one of his feet. Pass- ing by a stone wail he kicked his boot against It and was surprised to find that he could feel no sensation. But he delayed letting his doctors know about it, and insisted on making several tiring public appear- ances late in October, His last such appearance was when he walked for two hours, sometimes over plough- ed fields, at a Farm Engineering :Show. Just before the royal birth, doctors were visiting him frequent- ly, the crowds gathered outside the Palace imagining that they were there to see the Princess. Every effort is being made to snake King George take plenty of rest, but he's a stubborn patient and it's said he has even refused to give up smoking. From time to time he has visited the royal baby, and he insists on keeping up with his work, such as carefully scanning all state papers before signing them. ,lust how it will all come out no- body --even the physicians—can do more than guess. But millions, in all parts of the world, when next they sing "God Save the King," will do so with more fervor and meaning Shan in the past. In the meantime other members of the Royal family --Including Prince Philip—are tak- Eig over the scheduled engagements d IBI Velem. japan it isn't many months eines ter - min United States interests—the Hearst papers especially — were boosting General Dauglas Mace Arthur as the next President of the United States. Judging by he General's most recent actions, Americans may feel themselves lucky that they escaped such a fate as MacArthur acts pretty much as such dicators as Mussolini and flitter once did• In nther words, what he says goes. As supreme commander in Japan, MacArthur was the sole reviewing authority on sentences passed on 25 Japanese war criminals. He confirm- ed all of these in a memo calling his action an "utterly repugnant" duty, and urging the Jape to mark the *even hangings with a day of prayers of peace. But just what that day was to be, MacArthur wasn't saying. Report- ers were barred as witnesses to the executions, and even personal ap- peals to the general, asking that the bodies of the executed men be re- turned to their families went un- answered. Of course, those condemned to death included former Prirnier Tojo and several high ranking Jap military men. One cannot help won- dering whether—had the executions been those of common privates, the General would have acted in quite inch an "up -stage" manner.

The dog seems unafraid, and - vice versa, Dog's name, by the way, is Manitoba Red Queen" which is why N e omitted the name of the Province after "'Winnipeg." "The most outstanding thing about Canadian - foaled horses," spoke up a trainer of Hibernian ancestry, "is that they do continu- ally a -beating of enc another." x Sometimes, when on a Monday morning we scan the National Hockey League weekend results, we cannot help thinking of that opi- nion. The boys "do continually be a -beating of one another" and no mistake, and the form reversals— sometimes overnight — would be highly shocking if they occurred on the race track. But, of course, in hockey nobody pays any attenion to such things. With the scramble stuff .they call hockey nowadays, anything may happen—and usually does, The way the schedules are arranged—so as not to miss any of those highly lucrative Saturday and Sunday crowds—isn't what you might call conducive to fornlful playing. And when, recently, the Maple Leafs had to play no less than four games in the space of five -days — well, what could you expect? Those same Maple Leafs still seem to be—at this time of writing —to be suffering slightly front too much success in the past. They can't neem to get out of their minds the fact that they were world champions for two years in a row, and that their mere reputations should be enough to make some of these "Johnny - come lately" outfits throw up hands and say "Uncle." This the opposing clubs just plain refuse to do — the upstarts! — with the result that many loyal Maple Leaf fans, those of the radio variety in particular, have been going around since the season opened, wearing a slightly dazed and be- wildered expression. However they're probably doing a lotof unnecessary worrying. Taken on mathematical percentage alone, it's easier to get into the National playoffs than it is to stay out of then; and and we have no doubt that they'll be there or thereabouts when the real shooting starts. they're too good a chub—with too much reserve strength in back of them to be in any real danger of elimination: Still, when playoff -time arrives, we feel that the Leafs are in for notch stronger opposition than they met last year, or the year 'les fore, That Detroit club look¢ as if it would cause any of them plenty of grief, and Les Canadicns and Boston Bruins can neither of them be left out of your calculations. And as long as Roy Conacher and one or two more of the Black Hawks last there's even a possibility of the Chicago team being up there at season's end—which would doubt- less be the biggest shock Windy City folks received since Truman K,Oed whet -teas -his -name? w r W In the meantime—or so they toll us, as we do not often have a chance of hearing him in person—Foster Hewitt remains in good form and voice. And so long as that is the ease, what more can the millions of long-distance M,L, fans wish fort So long as Poster can keep up that pitch of excitement—so long as Zia can sound as though the Leafs have a chance, even if four goale be- hind and with four seconds to go— al! is well with those who believe that big-time hockey is an. exclusi- ively Saturday night affair, There are plenty of them, too, more power to then!. In fact if we ware asked what individual had ex- ercised the greatest influence in Canadian hockey during the past couple of decades, it wouldn't be a star player such as Syl Apps we'd name; it wouldn't be an owner such as Coney Smythe; it wouldn't be a coach such as Dick Irwin or Jack Adams. It would be Foster Hewitt— the ewittthe voice of hockey—whose words pictures of the game may lean slightly to the sensational, but who „ has built up for the Leafs a follow- ing that Is probably unique in all the world of sport, with the exception of the Notre Dame Football Team, Doing that 5113 where would be a real achievement, but doing it for a team representing what is probably the most -disliked city in Canada— Hogtown!—well, it's no wonder our vote wouldgo for Foster H. as the outstanding hockey figure of .the year—any year& We never heard him broadcast a chess game; but we'd bet he could make it sound as though the ringsiders were hanging an the ropes with their elbows, The Winner!—After a one day bloodless revolution a Vene- zuela military j u n t a seized control of that oil -rich nation, Former Defense Minister alai-- baud 11ai-baud will serve as President, the army announced, • SAILY'S SALLIES "NSt)tl this hydrant be in use dur Ogg Me afternoon, Officer?"

The more venturesome of the species can stride right into a community the size of Saint John, as one great bull noose did the other day, and romp about in a man's garden while the household- er helplessly says "Shoo" and wish- es the ungainly visitor with the mis- guided sense of humor would go away. This one, as a matter of fact, did go away finally, but halted in the middle of a street and brought traffic to a standstill while it figured out which direction was back to the woods, Protected By Law Moose can be indifferent to ltd - mans these days because they have been protected 'by law in New Brunswick ever since 1937, and no one seems to know it better than the anhnals themselves do. At that time, the loss of life caused by hunter's rifles and the tick had seri- ously thinned out the moose popu- lation. The surviving animals were retreating away from timberlands where extensive lumbering opera- tions had destroyed much of the natural cover. Food was harder for them to get, because of the ravages of tree diseases and tree insect plagues, and the decrease in the number of beavers meant fewer dammed -up streams and lily ponds for the moose to browse in; Pre' dictions- were heard on all sides that, like caribou, which were seen in herds of 150 to 200 its New Bruns- wick during the last century, moose would soon be extinct as far as that province was concerned. So moose -hunting was stopped. Since then, year by year, the huge c. eatures have been making a slow but steady comeback. About three 'years ago a census taken by game wardens during the Winter, when moose are concentrated in "yards," estimated there were about 7,720 in New Brunswick. This scounds like a lot, perhaps—but actually it is less than lhalf the number of deer shot each Fall in the province, Last year the annual report of the De- partment of Lands and Mines com- mented with satisfaction that the moose population was continuing to increase, especially in the northern and central areas. Father o -f Railways The lives of millions of people all over the world have been influ- enced by the life and work of a Ne thuntberland pit -buy-, George Stephenson, the centenary of whose death was celebrated this year. Stephenson's first job was under- ground, and he would not read till. he was eighteen, but before his death at Chesterfield, when he was rich and successful, he had ensured great and lasting fame by his in- vention of his steam locomotive, the Rocket, forefather of the great locomotives of today, His first money was earned by minding his neighbour's cows for the princely sunt of twopence a day, but in his Sparc time he made clay engines and used hemlock for the steam pipes. • Then he went down the pit and his mining days convinced him of the need for better machinery un- derground. This set him thinking about engines and how to build and improve them. Stephenson was Sir Humphrey Davy's rival in the search to design and patent a ,afety lamp for mines working in danger- ous pits, There is a statue of Steph- enson in Newcastle and 1/;s second memorial, if he needs one, is to be found on Tyneside, where the min- ers to this day are Geordies. because. their forefathers used the Iam.p that Geordie Stephenson designed for them. The little cottage at Milan where he was born ;s to be bought e for the public and may possibly be- come a Stephenson museum:, Stephenson's was a wonderful ex. - ample of the success story, No tri- umphs can have been better dcservt ed than those of the "father or railways" and they were won by ]card work and perseverance allied to genius, But no one ever carried himself more modestly in tate face of world-wide fame.
