Turkey Has Shrunk It is too little known that Tur- key, besides her natural endow- ments of climate, which ranges from Mediterranean to Alpin, and her rich variety of physical attrac- tions . also comprises the larg- est part of the ancient territory with 'which our classical memories are associated. What is now Turkey was Greece in the times of Homer. Here was Troy, in the plains of Ilium. Here are the rains of Ephesus and Perga mum and of many other cities of classical Greek. Here Strabo was born, and. Diogenes. Here passed Xenophon with his Ten Thousand, and later Alexander on his conquest of western Asia, Here it was that Alexander cut the Gordian knot, .dere, deep in Anatolia, near Zile, Caesar overcame Pharnacest—the victory of which he said: "1 came, I saw, I conquered." In Tarsus, where excavations are now expos- ing the remains of cultures that were 014 in the early Egyptian elynatties, St. Paul was born, and :from here he set out on the ex- peditions, which produced his Ep- istles to the Galatians and the Ephe- sians, forefathers of the present Turks. Istanbul itself--Coitstautfnople in yylden days—with its monuments of trattoria' itontan power and of later Ilyzzantine splendour, could alone justify the claim that Turkey possesses supreme historical interest and architectural beauty --From "Turkey, An Economic Appraisal," by Max Weston Thornhury, Gra. halal Spry and George Sortie. P0111 ,'y A S1yAATCl<l IC: We have never, personally, Leen able to get very much kick out of any sort of sport taken via the air- waves. In fact we would sooner watch a bunch of juveniles bang - ling each other around on the vil- lage darn or playing cornier lot football than listen to a Stanley Cup final or watch—over "fV—any "Bowl" game that ever was con- tested, Still, that is just a matter of taste, and we knnow that there are untold thousands who prefer their sport with a stash of ether added. 1f you happen to be one of these you may be interested in some re- marks by the noted baseball writer Dan Daniel, as published in the Baseball -man's Bible, otherwise known as The Sporting News. Mr. Daniel is writing about a certain type of sports broadcaster—the type that tries not only to keep up with the play but a yard or so ahead of it, and who is prone to tell his listeners that a certain play is a hit—or an error—without wait- ing for word from the official scorer. He also has a word or two to say about the sort of player who tries to make the official scorer look had. What .with one thing or another —Mr. Daniel says—the official scorers of the major leagues have stuck their noggins out of the press boxes into some small prominence of late, A certain club has sent a directve to its radio and television staff not to second-guess the scor- er. The practice of second guessing the guy who calls the hits and er- rors has gained considerable vogue in the big time and the writers, from whose ranks the scorers are recruited, resent this tendency very strongly. h } The scorers are under some pres- sure from the players, too. Only the other day Jim McCulley of the New York Daily News, scoring in Brooklyn, gave an infielder an er- ror on a ball hit by Pee Wee Reese of the Dodgers, This ended a Reese batting streak at 22 games. Pee Wee had been shooting for the Brooklyn record of 29 consecutive games, set by Zach Wheat in 1916. When the error sign went up on the scoreboard, Brooklyn players dashed out of their dugout and notified McCulley of their displeas- ure. The scorer had adequate sup- port for his decision in the press box, k m * Some few players are rather dif- ficult in the matter of reaction to the scoring. A few will make ve- hement protest. Others will just glare at the scorer when he comes into the clubhouse or dugout. In pleasant contrast with the squawk and glower boys was Paul Waner, who wanted every bit he made, and nothing more. When Paul, who got 3,152 hits in his major career, poked No. 3,000 at Forbes Field, he sent word to the scorer that he did not agree with his decision. Paul insisted that the play should have been scored as an error, "I want you to take that hit away because I in- tend No. 3,000 to be the real thing," he insisted. The next time Big Poison came up, he whacked the stuffing out of a ball and announced, "This is No. 3,000," However, actually it was 3,001, because the scorer had stood by his original 3,000 decision. :F * m Doubtless the most unpleasant experience of a New York scorer, or perhaps any other scorer, was suffered by John Kieran, back In the days when he Was writing base- ball for the American. In 1922, George Sister won the American League batting champion- ship with .402. Second place went to Ty Cobb with .401, his third .400 average, as he had batted .420 in Sc-ram—Caution seems to be the introductory keynote as three- year-old Necia Prather and this Australian Merino ram each look as if the other's company was—to put it bluntly—unwelcome. The rata is part of a recent shipment to the University of Califor- nia's College of Agriculture after an embargo against the export of the breed from Australia had been lifted. 1911 and .410 the following season. One day at the Polo Grounds, where the Yankees still were play- ing, Cobb rapped a sharp grounder to Deacon Scott, the hone short- stop, Fred Lieb, the AP man, call - it a bit. It was raining, and Kieran bad gone into the stands to get out o the wet. John scored it as an error - When the unofficial averages came out at the end of the season, Cobb was hitting .401. On the basis of the official scoring it was .399. Ben Johnson, president of the American League, decided to ac- cept the Lieb version as against the Kieran scoring. So you see the official scorer had his troubles as far back as 1922. 1 m * Dan Daniel goes on to tell of an experience of his own during a great hitting streak by one of base- ball's greatest idols. m * m Scoring during Joe DiMaggio's record 56 -game batting streak in 1941, was one of the most nerve- racking chores in the history of big, league scoring, and certainly the most rugged job along those lines done by the writer. I was the scorer in Yankee Sta- dium during most of the streak, and the tensions were terrific. Di\faggio went along to the 24 - game mark without exciting too much attention. Then it struck the press box that Joe was nearing the 30 -game stage, and that his streak had become news, On June 8, he got two hits, off George Cas- ter and Jack Kramer of the Browns, to make it 24 consecutive games. m m - m Things got torrid on July 1. He went into a double-header with the Red Sox with 42 games. Frofo then 0n it was more than exciting, In the Stadium, a bunch of Di - Maggio saner -rooters was stationed day after (lay. L'very time Joe hit the ball, these holler -guys would jump to their feet and shout, "\Vhat ' is it? What is it?" If the scorer hung tip the "E," no matter how palpable the misplay, the reaction was terrific. The scorer definitely was a burglar. Your correspondent kept losing weight, and growing more and more irritable, as the strains of the streak bore down on hint, appar- ently more violently than on Di - Maggio himself, 1 never have drawn a complaint on scoring roe a really great bit- ter. 1 did draw a glower front Tony Lazzeri, and he was right.

Speed, The Killer Spend on the highway as the prime slayer is impressively ar- raigned by the Bureau of Highway Safety, State of Pennsylvania, in a booklet, "Speed) Still Public Enemy No. 1:' which has just been issued by T, E, Transeau, director of that bureau. After citing many studies by authoritative sources on the role that excessive speed has played in the mounting toll of high. way accidents, \Ir, T ranseatt breaks down the death rates in the various. states with relation t0 the fixed maximum rate of speed lu those states. This breakdown certainly hears very convincing evidence that fixed tnaxboom speeds have a de- finite relationship to fatalities an the highway. It shows that the na- tional average death rate per 100,- 000,000 mites of travel its 1950 was 7.5. In the eleven states which de- fine maximum speed on the road as "careful and prudent," or "reas- onable and proper," the rate ex- ceeded the national average by from 5.1 to 11.5 per cent. Where absolute maximum speeds were fixed the results show an in- teresting curve- The fourteen states fixing top speed at 60 utiles an hour had an average death rate of 2.7 per cent above the national figure. Oddly enough, the six states in which 55 utiles an hour is maximum show an average of 8 per cent ex- cess above the fatality rate for the nation, However, twelve states in which 50 miles an hour is the fixed maximum show an average death rate 20 per cent below that of the nation; the three states in which 45 miles is the fixed maximum aver- age, 41,3 per cent below; and the lone state, \fassachuetts. with a fix- ed top speed of 40 miles an hour, 49.3 per cent below the death rate of the nation, Obviously there are factors of high importance other than maxi- mum speeds which enter into the fatality picture. These include speed too fast for conditions, irrespective of any maximums. One can drive too fast at 15 miles an hour if conditions of surface and traffic make this rate dangerous. How- ever, Director Transeau's figures indicate a fact which is obvious but too often forgotten — namely, that high speeds on the road in- evitably add to the severity of acci- dents when they do occur and to high fatality rates. Let us all re- solve to watch that speedometer, drive with a light rather than a heavy foot, and do our individual part to keep the highway death toll down, —From The New York Times, The proud father of triplets called up the local weekly to report the event. . The man at the other end, not quite hearing what he said, asked, "Will you repeat that?" Snapped back the proud father, "Not if I can help it." t �%L71 LE / �:;6�t�. r>,•�: rclam Andttews.

And although cheese actually imported f r o m Switzerland is beyond the budget of most of us, we have plenty of the "Swiss -type" kind available. So these recipes, some of which have been handed down from. Swiss mother to Swiss daughter for many generations, will be just as temp- ting and satisfactory if made right here in a Canadian kitchen, n, * m CHEESE CROQUETTES 2 oz.

Dangerous Weed American ranchers are worried about a poisonous weed which has mysteriously invaded the United States from Southern Russia and has been killing thousands of sheep and cattle. The weed—a purple -flowered plant known as halogeton—has taken such toll that it has warned Government' scientists of the po- tential dangers of imported plant and animal plagues. How it spanned the ocean from Russia to gain a foothold on more than half a million acres in the heart of the United States is a mystery. It was first found in Ne- vada fifteen years ago and has now spread to Idaho, Wyoming, Mon - tuna, Utah and California, It is still spreatliug, and rivals foot-and- mouth disease as a threat to the livestock industry and to our meat' supplies. The halogeton plant contains oxo- lie acid which, when combined with calcium its the bloodstream, pro- duces a poison which spells death to sheep and cattle. Only a dozen ounces will kill a sheep. Smaltel amounts cause loss of weight, Research scientists confess that their fifteen. years of effort to halt the spread of the weed have proved - futile, Chemical sprays Have been found which kill the weed -but they prove too costly to use on a large scale. 50051 SALE KNITTING YAILN Cusllrtnknble 3 and 4 515 nylon re -en- forced wool for nein, atveete'a, babyu'etr. only 300 nn slump, Sent enywbm'e to Canada, For Information and a,tm,leo write• The Alpine Knitting Co„ Kitchener. nnmrtn. 53300—'r101ta10 le desired.
