Just how did a toe' become important to a shot-putter? YDu'might ask, And'the story Is this: In 1950, O'Brien bad set a national college freshman rec- ord of 53 ft. 101/2 in, •Ihstead of being satisfied, his coach, Tess Mortensen began experimenting with O'Brien to the extent that by the athlete's sophomore year his putting' style had been completely rebuilt. Under the new style Perry's right toe is the key to his success. Most shot putters stand squared away in the ring but when he puts the shet O'llrien's• big toe is pointed toward the rear Of the circle. Among other things this means that his heel and back are to the direction of the put. Mortensen believes this vastly- improved O'Brien leg, drive. Whatever did it, progressively this young stalwart has broken the National ,Cojlegiate Athletic shotput record, set a new mark for the National A. A. Si, established 'the all -tune Olympic record, and beaten Dime; Fuellfs world record, His most recent mark, when this was written, was two and three- quarter inches beyond the 59 -foot mark, Back in 1904, Ralph Rose wasputting the 16 pound shot appoximately 49 feet,at the time a tremendous heave which nobody believed would ever be excelled. Rose, a giant 61 a man, put the pellet 48 feet 7 inches to Win the Olympic title. O'Brien's title-winfling and record :smashing ,Olympic heave was just beyond the•,57-foot mark.

ONTARIO ..Plain Horse Sense.. by BOB EL.IS The most important achieve- ment of organized farming in Ontario since the end of the war was the establishment of the On- tario Hog Marketing Agency with its sales organization United Livestock Sales, Ltd. It was very successful in main- taining price even against re- peated attempts by the packers to bring prices down, To enable the agency to keep up the good work it is important that hog producers continue to give it full support by following its direc- tives. Send Hogs to Yards One of the difficulties encoun- tered by the agency in, estab- lishing prices is the recurrent shortage of hogs at the stock- yards. Too many hogs have been shipped direct to packing plants, In an open letter, published in last week's Rural Co-operator, C. D. Black, manager of the sales agency, explains the situation to all hog producers. After reviewing the develop- ments from the January price of 23. cents to the present Price of 35 cents, Mr. Black says that he is "not worried about being able to keep the value of your prod- uct at this higher level than it has been for a number of years, PROVIDED we get the hogs at the RIGHT PLACE and at the RIGHT TIME in order to do so." Mr. Black thinks that every hog producer should be aware of the complications and contin- ues: "Regardless of what you may hear from any source the basic fact is that - price is es- tablished at the public market," "It, therefore, follows that in order to create and establish the true value of your hogs, it is essential to have sufficient hogs 'She hot only wants to Mee her- felt tel hlo eye*,, but hi his firma, teal" ISSUE 38 - 1958 at the public market and we have consequently ordered trans- porters to deliver hogs to the Ontario Stockyards who have been going elsewhere with your hogs." Rebates to Transporters In an interview to • the Co- operator Mr. Black stated that the transporters have shown an unwillingness to comply with the directives.. Some farmers suspect that the reason for this is that an unde- sirable practice of rebates to some of the transporters has crept into the marketing of hogs, reports the Rural Co-operator. Generally, hogs sold at the yards fetch higher prices than those delivered direct to the plants. Last week the market price was at a record high of $37, while at the plant hogs were paid for at $35 to $36.50. ' Appeal to Producers Mr. Black ends his letter with a strong appeal to all producers: "Now you, the individual hog producer, probably not fully aware of the situation, may not want this. We are concerned - in that through lack of complete knowledge on your part - you may become the innocent con- tributing factor to 'lower hog prices." "In order to maintain the price of hogs at this comparatively high level, after complete study, we cannot advise you too strong- ly to insist that your trucker ad- heres to the directives emanating from this company for the sound a n d well -considered reasons stated above." Necessity of Co-operation Under a marketing system, which is supposed to be regu- lated by supply and demand, two or three large buyers combining forces, could secure undue ad- , vantages over a multitude of small sellers, As a matter of fact this used • .to happen and has led to the el- teblishment of the One' Central Marketing, Agency acting for all producers. I stands to reason that only through co-operation with and fill support to the .Agency of each and every producer suc- cessful operations can be earned This colunpn welcomes tug- - gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether ConstructhVe or destructive and will try to answer arty question, Address Your letters to Bob Ellis, Box 1, 123. 18th Street, New Toronto. Ont. Strike That Lasted Just Seven Minutes One of the queerest stripes On record tools place 10 Amity- ville, New York, and lasted only seven minutes. The striker were actually asking fora low- er rate of, pay! , The union rate for bricklay- ers was reduced in the city, but one firm did not bother to re- duce the wages of their staff. So the Men's representatives called them out on strike until the matter was settled, Only last year employees of. a New Delhi transport *ID found a strange way . of persu- ading their employees• that they were entitled to a free ,uniform issue. They all turned up for work one morning wearing only their under -clothes. They soon got a promise of a free 'uniform. • There was only one support- er for what can only be des- cribed as the loneliest strike of all time, and yet the cause was a very popular onee. A truck driver in Indiana descended to the bottom of Lake Shafer in a steel and glass tank as a protest against high taxa- tion. He stayed there alone for 67 days, but finally gave ,up when he realized that the United' States Government just were. not interested. It was in .the same state that the president of a car factory found an interesting' way of settling a sit-down strike re- cently. He provided beds, whisky to drink, : and a floor show to help the strikers . pass away the ,time. Having got them nicely settled down, he sent a fleet of cars out to bring in the wives and sweethearts of the strikers. It wasn't very long before the men had lost the sympathy of their better halves and before ,long the strike was all over. Thirty-two Italian divers won their case last year because their employers were worried about .their- safety.. Concerned in a dispute, the divers succeed- ed in forcing their firm to see the other side of the argument wheu they Locked themselves in pressurized concrete cabins twenty-five feet below sea - level. Once every hour one of the divers popped .up to remind the worried directors of the firm that the men were still sticking it out below. In the end they won and came up smiling. How Can I ? Q.

Nine Brillion Dollars To Fly To Mars The race to design and build a "space station" is on. Scientists the world over are scrambling to complete plans for the first station, in such a race as the world has not seen since the splitting of the atom demand- ed a bomb. The nation, or group of nations,' which succeeds in establishing this earth satellite could beat off all attempts of a rival. power to do likewise and hold the entire earth in subju- gation, Hurtling around around the earth at a speed of some 18,000 m.p.h. the space station could bombard any city with guided missiles fitted with atomic warheads. There could be no defence against such attack, the satellite itself being out of range of anything but Dr. Walter Dornberger, fam- ous as the scientist responsible for the vicious V-2 rockets which showered upon London in World War II, is now working for America, advising upon the development of guided missiles. The doctor has predicted that within twenty years man will have fashioned a rocketship capable of the trip to Mars and back, via an earth satellite. But, he addsthis great solar adven- ture will probably never take place, for it would cost nc less than £3,000,000,000 - perhaps more! Certainly no single, air- craft company could foot such a bill, but to a government — with the military side in mind - it is a different matter. This man-made moon could be the perfect international "police- man." Under the direction of U.N.O., no Power could under- take secret preparations for war, without being observed. The space station could bring peace to the earth, £3,000,000,- 000 does not seem much to spend upon the conquest of warfare. Since the Korean flare-up, the United States has spent nearly five times that sum upon rearm- ament!
