You Would hardly call Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox home -run hitter, an underdog, especially. If you recalled Ills salary, But we were griped, on occasional visits to the Boston ball -park, by the almost vicious fashion iu whish WITITIO is was greeted when he fielded a ball, or came to bat, We never understood why such a •truly -great athlete should receive such scurvy treatment, and felt it a tribute to Williams' courage, and tenacity, that he should continue to star in the fade of suck mysterious hostility, Perhaps it will be different in coming seasons for the splendid Splinter, as the tall, slim batter has been termed, now that he is definitely a war hero, We hope so, particularly after hearing a story that came out of the west coast, after ' Williams landed there on his return from Korea. He came,from Hawaii on a transport plane on which there' were two bunks for sleeping. Wsaid ohhave edra ked Williams was who'll be in ofethose unks when the plane lands." After the plane landed, a sports writer picked up a hitch- hiking sailor who had come from Hawaii on the same plane, What sort of man is Williams?" the writer asked. ' "A completely right guy," wet; the answer. "What did he do?" prodded the writer. "Well, he came aboard with an- armful of magazines and'dropped then around for us to pick up and read." "Where did he sleepy" "He just piled on the floor with the rest of us." And from Washington, D.C„ we got another Ted Williams story that belies the claim that he's indifferent to requests, gruff and disobliging. A baseball fan Tamed Jim McNally, a great admirer of , Williams, wrote Ted asking for a couple of autographs for himself and his son, Jim Jr., former Washington -Lee High • School, sports star Ted replied with two signed photos just three days after the request, Like Ted, both the McNallys are ex -Marines, 'Williams was Captain Williams of the U.S. Marines, He took no more, as he flew back from the battle -front, than was available for all others, enlisted or otherwise, so we feel pretty sure we're not alone In hoping that Captain Ted Wil; Hams regains his eye, his swing and his speed quickly enough to hit .400 for the Boston Red Sox in the years to come, a hope that seems well grounded, for he was clipping off home -runs in his former brilliant fashion, soon after rejoining his club.

CalvertDISTILLERS LIMITED MUIERSTBURG, ONTARIO ..Plain Horse Sense,. by BOB ELLIS This is the story of "The Temple of 13 Suns" as they tell It in the country of Ant]gonish, the land of co-ops and credit unions: "Once upon a time, to the Temple of the 13 Suns came the rich and powerful chief Oomah the Third, who said to the gold- smith of the temple, Hansen L. Roschab: 'I have much gold and am :Moat to depart for a far country. Wilt keep this gold safe- ly for me against my return a year hence? I will pay thee well' The wily Hansen cougned loud- ly and covered his countenance with a cloth lest the rich Oomah the Third observe his joy to have HARNESS & COLLARS Farmers [Mention—Consult your near estw Hotness Shop about Stara Harness Supplies.

When he was calm and could look serious he said to Oomah: 'It is a great responsibility and risk but I will undertake it for a tithe which Will be one shekel in every ten,' Said the chief Oomah: It is a deal. And forthwith his slaves delivered many bags containing 1,000 shekels of gold for which Hansen L: Roschab, the gold- smith, gave the chief a parch- ment receipt acknowledging this deposit which contained the writing 'payable. to whomsoever.' Thereupon the chief Oomah de- parted happily upon his journey. Gold for Hire As soon as he was well out of the country, the shrewd Hansen called his confidential scribe and bade hint thus: 'Go thee now to the merchants whom 1 will tell thee of secretly, say to each that thy master hath a little gold for hire upon good security,' Soon there came to him a great merchant who said: 'Hansen, you old crook, I am in a jam for a few shekels of gold. Wilt lend me?' And Hansen replied: 'Money is very tight these days, but it might be arranged. What is thy need?' The merchant answered: 'Two hundred shekels.' Then said Hansen: 'It is much money. What security couldst thou pledge for so great a stun?' YoucaiaFgo LI1T HHy®w Feel ALL° These days most peop a work under pressure, worry more, s hep less.

They're both in a new football film. Then , the merchant showed Hansen a writing of his pos- sessions to the amount of 1,000 shekels, --Hansen said, 'It is not enough, -Thou must also pledge thy dwelling and thy slaves and thy raiment,' Whereupon the merchant, after much protest, pledged all his possessions, even to his innermost raiment. So Hansen loaned him the money. Then^ said ' the merchant to Hansen: 'I have no place to store so nluch.gold. Keep it safe for me and. give me a writing which I inay deliver to whomsoever I will.' And' Hansen did even so. The next day came another merchant, and another, and still another, and jo •each .Hansen loaned a portion .of, -the gold of chief Oomah the Third, taking from each as security his entire possesions including his • inner- most personal raifnent, and gave to each a writing showing that each had on deposit the gold he had borrowed. And it came to pass that on the tenth 'day he had given 'parch- ment deposit writings for the whole of the 1,000 shekels; but still had all the gold, One Grand Idea Hansen reflected much upon this curious state of affairs and said to himself: 'These birds know not how much gold I pos- sess. They do not want the actual gold itself. What they really want is credit, some deposit writing which they pass from hand to hand as money. I have one grand idea' On the next day came another merchant, and another, and still another, and to each Hansen showed the great store of gold of Oomah the Third, and to each he pretended to loan a portion, although he had previously loan- ed it all fo the first ones who came. - And it came to pass that at the end of another ten days Han- sen had pretended to loan to many • more merchants and had given writings of deposit for a second thousand shekels, making 2,000 shekels in all, although ,he had only 1,000 shekels of Oomah the Third. And still he had all the gold! Whereupon Hansen reflected to himself: 'What a leadenpipe cinch. I wonder I did not think of this before. I can collect just as much dsuary from the phoney deposit writings, as for the genuine, Verily, I am a finan- cial wizard', Thereupon Hansen caused it to be noised about that he pos- sessed a vast store of gold for hire, and many more merchants came to borrow,' and to each Hansen delivered writings of de- posit and collected generous usury and demanded pledges from each of all his possessions even unto his innermost personel raiment, until he had issued writings of deposit for 10,000 shekels and held mortgages on substantially the whole city. Magis Baloney. - Then went Hansen to the wise man of the city and said unto him; 'Verily 1 have discovered, the greatest racket of all time. I have learned the magic of making gold out of baloney;'•and if I can keep the formula secret for a few years I will collect a fortune and will make Solomon's treasury look like a secondhand store, Tell me how I may keep secret this bonanza Of mine for mine own profit.' - Then said the wise man: 'Look wise and say little and only upon matters afar Off. - Obtain the ear of the town crier; En• gage him to spread the impres- skin that money is a mysterious subject which no One under- stands save thee alone. Be friendly with the king's eoun- tilors and grant their favours that the king may smile Upon thee.' And.Hansen did as he was bid and collected much usury from his phoney loan deposits (pri- vately issued interest - bearing credit -money) which circulated as money. He built for himself a mansion, collected works of art, and clothed his wives and concubines with fine linen and jewels. When his business had grown to many times its humble begin- nings he took over the entire temple and by way of a sly joke called it The First National Bank, the same being from an obscure language and meaning 'Place of imaginary money,' And that is the reason that all banks today have great marble pillars and bronze doors, so that they may resemble outwardly as well as internally the 'place of imaginary money' which Hansen L. Roschab builded upon the gold of Oomah 'the Third in the Temple of the 13 Suns."
