From it parachuted first the dog, then the pilot, Nobody can say what happened to the pilot. But the dog landed safely and the Ger- man who found hint took hint to a dogs' hone. An attractive German girl with a kind heart, Giesela \Veissemel, saw the dog, bought him, and took hint home. There, for about five years, she lavished care on the dog. Today she is doing everything pos- sible to trace the airmail who owned it -or his family. Squelch A ranter conceited bachelor was invited to dinner by a woman of his acquaintan,:e, but did not accept. A few days later, sleeting her in the street, he said in his best man- ner, "I believe you asked nip to dine with you last week." The woman looked at -him ra- ther thoughtfully. "Why, yes, I believe I did," she answered brightly, "and did you comer" In Irons -Wearing leg' irons, Leon Turner stands outside the Kosciusko, Miss., court after lie was found guilty of murdering a four - year - old Negro child.

But while Ontario hasn't as yet taken advantage of the maple sirup harvest as a tourist attrac- tion, other places do -and realize many tourist dollars from it. In Chardon, Ohio, for instance, 140,000 visitors are attracted each spring to the community's maple festival. The event started 24 years ego when a shopkeeper urged his fellow townsmen to celebrate the end of the sap run in the maple trees that cover many parts of the Ohio landscape, The shopkeeper, according to the story, reasoned that although maple sirup is the universal topping for hot cakes and waffles, few had ever seen the activityin a sugar camp. The first maple festival at- tracted 5,000 persons, but in a few succeeding years the attendance zoomed past the 100,000 mark. Last year 140,000 crowded the square of Chardon to view "the sweetest show on earth," The park in which. the 'festival is held is large enough so that visitors can stroll among the maple trees and watch sap dripping into pails, and witness the sirup and sugar being made by both the old and new processes, The sirup can be purchased on the spot for prevailing prices rang- ing from $5.50 to $6.00 a gallon. Part of the fun visiting Chardon during the festival is beating maple. cream into a fudge by whirling it in a paper cup. The cream is sap that has been boiled beyond this sirup stage but not thick enough to forma solid sugar. Here's how the Ohio officials describe the big spring event of the year: "The whole countryside is a tur- moil of activity when the 'run' starts, The steaming evaporators making the king of sweets must constantly be watched. The con - ::ant vigil is often brelteu by groups tf 9ereitaflitg youngsters." In addition to the processing of sirup other, activities make up Ohio's three-day festival. One of tate best antique shows of the state is held in conjunction with the fes- tival. did-thne dances and pioneer games also are featured, BRUIN FRONT IOri1?U.SSCU. Just about a year ago I passed along to readers of this column news of a Montana experiment in the matter of feeding skim or powdered milk to young (tomato plants; In so doing I unintentionally laid myself open to some of the finest 'needling' I have ever ex- perienced -and I night say that, in. any time, I have been needled by experts. k k * The whole trouble was -well, you know the old Scots saying about the children of the busy shoemaker always running barefoot, And I had been so busy preaching the possi- bilities of milk -fed tomatoes to others that I clean neglected to do anything about my own.: 5 * * But why go into gruesome de- tails. Last Summer, in my part of our fair province, it wasn't very favorable to stuff such as tomatoes. And it seemed that the neighbors formed a habit of leaning over the fence and peering much too in- tently toward my straggly and starved -looking vines. As they turned away I could •almost hear them saying to themselves "Milk - fed tomatoes-PHOOOOEY." k # * But things have a way of evening themselves up, As a pal of mine used to say, "You'll go along for a spell thinking life is just as bad as it can possibly be; then, all of a sudden, it will take a change -and get worse." Anyway, within the last couple of weeks I've run across three people who tried out the milk feeding -and are most enthusiastic about it. * * 'k So here it comes again, just as it was published last March or April. I haven't had word of any- body trying the treatment on onions as yet. % # * Most of us have heard of such things as celery -fed ducks and, in a bygone day, corn -fed blondes; but I must confess that milk -fed tomatoes are something new -tat least to me. However, that's what they're saying - feeding milk to young tomato plants is not only possible, but highly profitable as well. k * 'k According to Prof. Frank M. Harrington, who is head of horti- cultural research at Montana State College, the milk feeding will not only make the tomato plants grow. They'll mature earlier; the vines will be sturdier; the root systems 50% bigger at transplanting time; and at harvest -time the tomatoes will be big, solidly -fleshed, with few seeds. * * * As for the yield -that from the milk -fed plants will be about double. In fact the milk appears to act very much the same as some of the new growth -stimulating hormones we hear so much about. k '5 * In charge of the Montana experi- ments was Dr. Leon Johnson. He dissolved powdered milk in water till it formed a soupy mixture and poured about one-third of an ounce around each new plant the first week it was up, Then he increased the amount one third of an ounce each week for five weeks. He also used buttermilk and skim milk in the same manner. * . * As for the actual results -plants that hadn't been given extra plant food of any sort produced at the rate of 6,829 pounds of tomatoes per acre; those receiving skim milk alone yielded at the rate of 9,814 pounds; while plants receiving both skim milk and ammoniated phos- phate averaged 12,374 pounds. k * * One pound of powdered milk Swede Auto -To be placed on the market in Julie is this low -slung, low-priced Swedish motor car, The vehicle's designer, Claes Allender, left, tries Ant the runabout with a friend in Stockholm. The car will sell for about $386. That very eminent guardian of the hockey twine, Mr. William Duman, of the Montreal Canadiens, has announced his intention to re- tire at the end of the present sea- son -that is, if hockey seasons ever come to an end, which we some- times gravely doubt. He will be greatly missed; but for his own sake, we sincerely hope that Large William will stick firstly to his resolution. # 5 * Durnan makes a es no bones about his reason for quitting, frankly stating that he would -prefer to end his career with all his mental marbles intact. And with the sort of hockey they play nowadays, and the kind of protection goahninders entirely fail to receive, 'this is a rather harder task than many onlookers even begin to suspect. F * * Goal -tending, under present con- ditions, is an "'uryin, scurryin'" business, as the old lady in "The History of Mr. Polly" remarked after her rescue frons a burning building. Your own players tend to back in on you and block your view so that you never have a glimpse of half the pucks that are hurled your way untilthey either bit you or land in behind you. Op- posing forwards play "inside home" on.you in a manner that wouldn't have been tolerated in the palmiest days of field lacrosse. You are bumped, battered and bruised, as well as be -devilled by the type of loud -mouth that loves to congre- gate in back of the nets. In fact, it's a wonder that, after a few sea- sons of modern big-tilne hockey, most of the goalies aren't walking around like punch -goofy fighters, talking to themselves. So, although his absence will leave an aching void -especially in the region of the Montreal nets - we entirely applaud Bill Durnan's resolve to get out when the getting is good. And because -as the poet said -it's better to decorate the fertilizes 100 young plants in pots, and will take care of even more if grown in fiats. Johnson believes that milk -feeding tomatoes will prove practical for both home gar- deners and commercial growers. * * # And after the milk had made 'such a startling showing on toma- toes, Johnson tried it on young onions -and with similar results! -- By Harold Arnett L ApDADDE R A SECTION OF INNERTUBE WITH SAWDUST OR SHAVINGS MAKES SHOULDER PAD FOR LADDERCARRY .PAINGD IS NAILED TO INSIDE OF RAIL.

Just how best to go about so doing is rather difficult to figure out, but we'll try. 5 # * Well, then, .it is hard for any- body who has followed hockey fairly closely almost since the days when Lester Patrick and his brother, Frank, invented it, to admit that there are players today that even begin to compare with some of our heroes of old. * * # When junior comes home, rav- ing over the speed and cleverness of such as Maurice Richard, Syl Apps, Teeder Kennedy, Elmer Loch and the like, it is our custom -and that of scores belonging to our generation -to give the- brash youngster a pitying smile and start talking about Howie Morenz, Cyclone Taylor, Sprague Cleghorn, Dutch Nighbor, Nels Stuart. "Your stars of today couldn't even carry the spare sticks of guys like those," we tell him, and sometimes it seems as though he almost believes us, * * * But the truth is nighty and bound to prevail, sooner or later. And if the aforesaid Junior were to come up right now and ask us, "Did you honestly ever see a better goaltender than Durnan?" we might hem and haw for a while; but in the end we'd be bound to break down .and say that we never had. # * 'k In our time, we have looked at and admired a lot of high-class net - minding. Names like Georges Vezina, Chuck Gardiner, Roy W.orters, George Hainsworth, Lorne Chabot, Harry Holmes and half a dozen others come to mind whenever there is a hockey fanning bee. ak ,k * But while we may have seen , more brilliant single -game exhibi- tions than anything we ever saw Durnan put on, when we picture Bill over the whole span of his National • Hockey League ca- reer, we are afraid we'll have to. admit that if he wasn't the best that ever stood between a pair of hockey uprights, he'll do to tie to until the top man comes along. Maybe 'that admission is a sure sign that age is softening us up, but here it is: * # # Bill Durnan was the outstanding performer in a highly difficult and nerve-wracking professioniand we wish him all the best now that he's decided he has had enough.
