Busservice all but came to a standstill and only the bravest of pedestrians shuffled along to their place of bdsineas. But still the Canadian flag flew at Headquarters. Normal routine for the orderly office at sundown, is to lower the flags and stow them for the night. At sun -up he is out again raising the flags, which there include the Canadian' and French flags and the Air Force ensign. After a detgrmined effort and slightly red in' the face, the order- ly officer had to forgo this' ritual one evening duringthe storm—the flags were frozen solidly to their moorings! A warm -front weather system that badbeen Imaging over the English Channel suddenly decided. to go south last Tuesday and forced the four RCAF C119 Pack- ets of 485 Squadron, Edmonton and 436 Squadron from Montreal on Exercise "Rhumba Queen" to divert to No. 2 Fighter Wing at Grostenquin, , France: The, four planes were carrying the first 25 tons of equipment of No. 1 Fighter: Wing, which is being moved from North Luffenham, England, to Marville, France. A blanket of snow now .covers the Metz, France area and Until the warm -front decides to give up its southern holiday there will be no "Rhumbaing" by the four C119 "Queens" of the'RCAF Air Trans- port Command fleet. , Sons of Mr. and Mrs. W. ` Westlake; Billn� a d Gar.

TNE Cetivert SPORTS Tsc COLUMN 11 Eemet 7e4,0400 The most reniarkabie player in the Na Boal Hockey League, in many respects, is tall 'Elwin Ira (Al): Rollins, born in Van- guard,BSask., netminder for the lowly. Chicago Black acic Hawks wlio finished lust in 1953-54 and were flirting with last place in, the current race when. these lines were Written. Rollins is, remarkable because, with a tail -end. was last Spring. voted. Winner of, the Hart Trophy, team, ed award in the major league, designating as ides the eplayer er most useful; ito his club. In the 31 -year history of te trophy, , this happened only once before. ; As the Hawks finished. la$t in the race, the voters possibly assumed that' without Rllins they might have fallen right out of the league.: It's possible. When Rollins won the trophy, one cynical observer re- _ marked that he deserved some sort of award for' escaping • with his life. Rollins played in 66 of his 'club's 70 games''; last season. He was scored on 213 times, or at the average of 3.1 goals per game. But two others called in to replace Rollins when he was ill, had 29'goals rolled up against them in four games, over 7 per game; indicating by comparison what a superb job Rollins was doing. - The remark about escaping with his life is not entirely in jest. The 213 goals scored on Rollins is a lot . of goals, but what of the shots he stopped? It would be most con- servative <: to say that, in the course of the season, .he was bombarded bynot less' than 2,000 shots from the sticks of ; hockey's greast snipers. Besides being a great goaler, Rollins is something of a philosopher. After winning the trophy, he . told a sports writer: 'When you're .with a team like Chicago, every game is a tough one. But maybe it's . a good thing. When you've got all that work, you keep warm and Ioose. Some goalies get beat on the easy shots because they're -cold and all' tightened up. Maybe a fellow can look better with a weak club than with a strong one. If he's any good at • all, he stands out." So Rollins, stood oast, like a lighthouse. De became the first goalie to win since New York's Chuck Rayner in 1950, and the .first; winner from a last -place club since defenceman Tommy (Cowboy) Anderson, a forward, of the 1932, New York Americans.

Today, voy- agers may still suffer from that ancient disease, as any methodical, rapid change in motion and speed= whether it be on a ship, 'plane, merry-go-round 'or even a camel— produces similar effects on the body. Almost all ,of the trduble is due to the body's or- gan of .,balance, the inner ear, a structure about the size of a small key and reminis- cent of a pretzel in shape. It reacts to abrupt changes. by producing symptoms such es nausea,' pallor and cold sweating. Canadian scientist R. L. Noble and ether researchers investigated the extensive -motion sickness:prob lem during World War 11 and found remedies that gave partial aid to at least some travelers. Recently,' the chemical, labora- tories came: up with some new harm- less compounds that proved to be • very effective during tests conducted by the U. S. Awned Fortes. Of the drugs examined, the investigators were, particularly impressed. with one called Bonamine=the only drug that gave 24-hour protection against motion sickness with a single dose. As this drug is now available' for civilian use, it will be very easy for the otherwise queasy traveler, to tnipy the far-flung wonders of the world—without the ancient hazard of motion aicltpess. $4.85 3 Quart Saucepan Greaseless;Griddte Thirty page cookbook free with every purchase.
