The Brussels Post, 1953-4-29, Page 3Calvert SPORTS COLUMN 4 9etwooffo It came into being only three years ago, as winter's answer to Little League baseball, but today, Biddy Daskotball has grown with giant strides. as 'anether de- velopment calculated to Jnterest the kids of our nation in clean competitive sport, and thereby combat the Inroads of juve• elle delinquency, Canada hasn't quite kept step with the United States, even comparatively, in the growth of Biddy Basketball, Nor, in fact has the game grown in Canada to the same extent. as Lithe ,League Baseball, But it is making rapid headway, For there are about twenty -sevens Canadian cities with Biddy Basketball fairly well organized. There are probably twelve to fifteen hundred participants whose ages according to regu- lations range from thirteen years down to nine. Most of these cities are in Quebec, Ontario and the Western Provinces, Most of the Canadian Biddy Basketball Clubs are orga- nized 'and sponsored by Social Centres, Boys Associations and the odd Community project. The sehoels have not as yet taken it up in any official way, The physical welfare of the boy is taken into Consideration and a careful check is made so that they do not strain themselves, either physically or emotionally. In the United States, the growth of the game has been almost fantastic. From the original 16 teams in one state it has spread, until now it has more than 10,000 small fry playing on 1200 teams In 44 states, And 1t is being played in 11 foreign countries. • The program is regulation basketball in miniature, de. signed specifically for the younger set. The rules are tailored tp their measurements and =nature strength, such as lower- ing the hoops a foot and a half, shortening the foul line throe feet, and using a smaller ball. The appeal of this youth movement is almost irresistible. And it has received great impetus from Jay Archer, former ,State Teachers College star, who tours the country spreading. the gospelof sport. Canada has gone along without such in- spirational help, carried on the wave of Little League .baseball success, but as in baseball, Canadian teams will soon be ready to compete in the national tournaments held annually across the line, just as did our champion Little Leaguers compete with distinction in the Little League baseball play-offs last autumn. These juvenile leagues are great things for the youngsters. They cut across race, creed, and other beliefs and social dis- tinctions in a fashion that is more truly democratic than pre- vails in anything outside sport, They start our kids off on truly democratic lines, something that only sport, the great leveller, can accomplish.

Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO How To Protect Your Woolens Joint research by the U,S. De- partment of Agriculture and the Army Quartermaster Corps has developed a process of using DDT that protects the Army's stored woolens from insect dam- age for as long as five years. DDT -treated uniform cloth showed no evidence of damage even though hungry fabrics pests have been placed on the •cloth each year during the past five years. Actually 50,000 carpet beetles and 25,000 clothes 'moths were used In the tests, which com- pared several wool - protecting methods. Spraying with a 5 -per -cent DDT oil solution offers the home- maker an easy, safe, and low - •cost way of protecting stored woolens. Although not so thor- ough as the Army's DDT -impreg- nation method, sprays, .neverthe- less, guarantee many years of protection from fabric pests for home -stored woolen s. Wool clothes that are in use, and rugs and draperies that are subject to wear, require seasonal treat- ment and retreatment after they have been dry-cleaned or washed. A simple procedure for the home -maker is to hang the wool- ens on a clothesline and spray them lightly but thoroughly. Af- ter the treated woolens are dry, they can be stored in closets, boxes, or chests. Spraying DDT on the interior wall, floor, and shelf' surfaces of closets, and on both inside and outside surfaces of storage containers, gives ad• •ditional protection from the larvae of clothes moths and car- pet beetles, Wool carpets, rugs, and draperies can also be pro- tected from these fabric pests the year round by being sprayed with DDT, A simple hanet spray •er can be used for all these jobs. Applying the 5 -per -cent DDT spray until the wool has become thoroughly moistened assures adequate protection. However, do not soak fabrics with spray, because too much DDT may leave a white deposit on the cloth after the spray has dried. This is especially 'true on dark -colored woolens. Persons applying the spray should stand as far from it as possible, and should not breathe the DDT -oil solution. They should wash their hands and faces with soap and warm water after spray- ing is completed. Care should be taken also to avoid •getting the spray on foods and utensils when the spraying is done indoors. Experiments indicate that com- plete protection from carpet - beetle and clothes -moth larvae is gained only by treating all the cloth with DDT: Rolls of fabric only partially treated were da- maged to varying degrees. — Prom "Womau'e Day.' ' EXPLANATION Arthur Rubinstein, the great pianist, was such a social lion in Paris that he scarcely found time to practise, In desperation he instructed his butler to tell all callers, regardless of their importance, that he was not at home. The recognized leader of boulevard society phoned one morning while Rubinstein was playing one of his most tempes- tuous and difficult standy-bys. "'The master is not in," said the butler dutifully. "Poppycock,' snapped the great lady, I hear him playing distinctly:" "Oh, no, madam," the butler assured her. "That's just me dusting the keys." Cowed Calf — Gene Haslen is declared the wiener in a calf scramble. The youth subdued the animal at the Junior Grand National Livestock Exposition, 40 How "Silent Night" Came To Be Written Jfust easy of St. Anton the Arl- berg -Orient express stops at a tiny, biscuit -yellow verandahed station with swinging flower bas- kets, standing all by itself In an Immense Alpine landscape and serving nit visible hinterland,. The station fs marked 'Oetztal,' and it is in fact that point 01 de- parture for Tyrol's longest later- al valley. Though barely aecess- ible, the Oetz 'is o i4 e of those parts of. the world :history fre- quently visits. From, ,the north no one can enter it without the knowledge of its inhabitants; from the south nothing without the itatural 'endowments of a chamois can 'enter It at all. , . . The southern end of the valley is sealed off by the ice'and snow of the Oetztaler Alps, w hese peaks range from eight to twelve thousand feet:• , It was an organementler of the Oetz who pleked Op' a simple little tune -in Oberndorf, in . dis- tant Salzburg, one winter day in the eighteenth century when he was repairing the organ In St. Nil(olas' church. He learned it while the parish' priest and the choirmaster were 'trying it out on a guitar, and it haunted hien as he walke& borne to the Oetz, Sitting down to rest on a rock at the head of the valley, he met a small girl, one' of a family of four half-grown children whose voices were the pride of the fam- ous Oetztal Singing Society. Listening to the tune he was humming, she 'promptly asked what it was, and learned it, mel- ody and words, on the spot. The organ -mender went his way and forgot the song, hut the girl and her brothers and sisters, when they went out the following Christmastime to sell gloves at the South German Christmas fairs, began to sing it when trade was slack in order to draw a crowd. The. crowds they drew Japanese ''Fence'Mending"—Loaded down with Japanese politl- clans,' a campaign truck pauses along 0 road near Tokyo and an orator appeals for votes, Parliament wit; dissolved recently, forcing new notion -wide elections, were enormous. To one such the choirmaster of the court of Sax- ony was • attracted. ,The song so struck him that he presented it, with the tour singers, at a court concert before the King and Queen of Saxony. It was first arrangedtfor orchestration, then for great choirs; and eventually the Kilig of Prussia • offered a prize for the discovery of the author .df what had become the most papular Christmas carol of the Western world: The author was Franz Gruber; the s o n g, Silent Nigllt.—From "All About Austria," by Virginia Creed. This Bridge Club Has A Purpose • e • • • "Don't forget your fifty cents, girls." That's the way the hostess of the Wednesday Bridge Club in Montreal reminds the eight members that they have an "adopted" daughter in Italy, They found their little sad - eyed Maria through the Foster Parents' Plan for War Children a year ago. "We're old friends, and haye been playing bridge together every Wednesday for five years. We wish we had thought of adopting one of these pathetic little children long ago. We're getting real pleasure out of feeling that we are doing some- thing useful besides enjoying ourselves," one of the members commented. Perhaps this is a trend of the times. Women who a few years ago thought that all leisure time should be devoted to purely social pleasures, have become so aware pf the work being done by wom- en's auxiliaries in all community efforts that they have a feeling of guilt if their spare daytime hours are not put to some good use. Women's Clubs have been largely instrumental in widening the woman's point of view in the duty she owes to the world out- side her family circle. • One of the members of this particular 'club had heard a speak- er at a church auxiliary tell of the Foster Parents' Plan for War Children, and wrote to the Can adian Director at Box 05, Station B, Montreal for details. She dis- covered that by donating $15 monthly to the Plan, one partic- ular child is assigned to a group or individual, who then becomes a foster parent. "Adoption" is, of course financial, not legal, but as letters fly back and forth 'be- tween "parent" and "child" the association becomes very close. The Bridge Club discovered that by donating fifty cents each to the fund they raised the nec- essary $10 monthly and had a small surplus which enabled them to send birthday and Christmas gifts to Maria in Italy, Maria is typical of the 70,000 little waifs who have been given aid by the Foster Parents' Plan. Slie was an infant when her home wan destroyed and both parents killed in a bombardment on her native village near Ces- sina. Iver early .years wore spent in a cave with other refugees. She had known' nothing but fear and insecurity in all the ten years of her life, aid, until she found foster parents, had been a coni- plete burden on the fancily, them- selves poverty-stricken, who had rescued her, But with the knowl- edge that she has friends, things are looking up for this neglected child. She is now a person of im- portance, ' The Bridge Club is One of the 8,000 foster parents in the world to -day, 325 of thein Canadines, who feel that these children, un- lucky enough to be born while their countries were being de- stroyed by war, must be given a chance to become self-supporting citizens. Maria writes that . she would- like to be a dress -maker, and with friends in a happier country, she may realize her am- bition. With no education, and a. feeling that all the world is against them, these children, now nearing adolescence, are apt to be swayed to lend support to any "ism" which promises them better things. Their plight is still des- perate. They are living in caves in Italy, in D.P. camps, in chil- dren's colonies and in hovels across war -ravaged Europe.

According to this description the farm movement is certainly not a dance. It is not a rhyth- mical movement, it is not in ac- cordance with some scheme, there is no concerted action' and it is pretty bare of ideas. Ruffled Feelings It is distressing to see the con- fusion in the minds of the farm- ers concerning natters of im- portance to the business of ag- riculture, indeed, of the nation. A typical example of un- realistic thinning is the recent discussion in a certain County Council, which first passed a re- solution urging a ban on the im- portation and sale of vegetable oils harmful to the dairy indus- try, and then started a debate on whether the inmates of the Home for the Aged should be given butter or margarine. The old people are still get- ting butter, but emotions ran high and feelings were ruffled before the decision was made. e "Old Oat Burners" Ons, council member said he could not sec any difference in taste between butter and mar- garine and that the Board of Management could Save $700 per year by buying margarine instead of butter. Another felt that if a product couldn't stand on its own feet in the face of competition, it was its own hard luck. Farmers should return to horse farming. If they went back to the "old oat bunter's" they could buy the oats 'from amongst themselves and would not have to give the money to the psi companies for gas. You also, Brutus? For must farmers margarine is only a target for shadow box- ing and a subject for rhetorical exercise. After they are through condemning it at their' meetings, they go and pack in a pound or two with the groceries they buy on the way home. Why else would country stores, and even farmers co- operatives stock up on the stuff? The fact that they do, is proof enough that farmers have ac- cepted it and apparently want it themselves. Nothing for Something What then, in the name of the cow, is the use of talking about and against margarine instead of trying to find new markets to )hake up for the lost ones. In the same council meeting it was said that butter is too dear. Maybe it is. But if it is, why is it? Milk consists of water, butter- fat and solids -non-fat, For all mill( the farmer ships for pro- cessing he gets — after deduct- ing the trucking charges — only the price of butterfat, The sal - any return. ids -non-fat fin nut bring him ' Out of the 39 cents the con- sumer halt to pay at the store for one pound of dried skim milk powder, the producer does not receive anything for 'the raw material; be gives it away. As a matter of tact, he would be bet- ter off, if he would seperate his milk. ship the cream and feed the skim to his pigs or calves or chickens. if producers were to receive their fair share for solids -non- fat, the price of butter could come down, Tire Wettest — The Cheapest Dr, Cl.

One cup of dry milk is equivalent in protein to approximately: Ye lb. beef- steak or ie ib. pork loin or 7 eggs or ?z lb. Cheddar cheese.

Who will Do It? These are facts and figures that should be brought to the attention of the buying public. It is up to the farmers and their organizations to do the job, In a world that is half starved of food and which is trying to get by on a diet of carbohydrates, consisting mostly of farinaceous starches like those of wheat and rice, in a world which is in bitter need of every grain of animal protein it can save for human consumption, hundreds of thousands of tons of the pre- cious stuff are wasted annually. Instead of asking governments to protect them by implementing laws prohibiting the manufac- ture of competing food prod- ucts, farm organizations should use their own resources, and also the government's if neces- sary, to do some research work. They should investigate the price and merchandising sys- tems used in the manufacture and distribution of food prod- ucts. and explore the possibili- ties for new uses and new mar- kets for their milk -solids -non- fat. To the organization that first tackles this problem will go the fame of being the true represen- tative of the farmers.
