And now that we have won back what was really ours, triumph in our own national game, should we call it a day? Should we refrain from further participation in this annual - orgy of insults, mis-statements and accusations which are inevitable when one of the participants is seeking to use a sport for national propaganda purposes? There is the thought that Canada should continue to participate, first, in the interest of friendly relations with coun- tries outside the iron curtain; second, for the international good of hockey, to help spread the gospel of our crackling winter sport. But as to the event known as the world championships, we believe It is mis-named. Everybody knows that no real world championship, meaning world superiority in hockey, is seriously involved unless the champions of the National Hockey League, or the Stanley Cup holders. are involved. Of course, there can be produced that over -ripe red her- ring to indicate that this is the "world amateur championship". But that isn't going to deceive anybody, because everyone knows that in hockey at that level, simon-pure amateurism is as scarce as the dodo -bird. And everyone knows, too, that Russia's athletes are part of the propaganda !machine, stall - fed, government-sponsored, government -controlled, their acti- vities suitably recompensed. Russia has its own brand of amateurism, something contrived to suit the circumstances. And now that the fight has been won, and Canada's hockey superiority re-established to the embarrassment of the Krem- lin's propaganda machine, is there any virtue in carrying on with a pointless chore? Everybody in sport is fully aware that Canada is supreme in hockey. Our victories in this tournament, over teams that in some eases could hardly make a respectable showing in Canada's midget hockey leagues, prove nothing new. Or should we continue so that hockey shall become a more universal winter sport?

(BOG) VON PIL1S The Ontario Farmers Union deserve a hearty pat on, the back for the clear and precise Brief presented by them to the Agricultural Committee of the Ontario Legislature. After stating that "producer controlled orderly marketing is one of the main objectives of our organization," and that they are fully in support of the idea of co-operative marketing, the Union said that any criticism they had, was directed "only against some of the methods Arr.- that have been used in the past and are proposed t0 be used in The $tlture." General Principle. The Union wants to see con- trol over the marketing of farm products in the hands of pro- ducers instead of vested in boards whose members are appointed by the gov- ernments. They proposed the abolishment of the government appointed Provincial Board and asked that "any marketing scheme submitted by a repre- sentative group of producers and adopted by a majority of the producers of the commodity lo which the scheme applies, be established directly by the Leg- islature, to operate under the supervision of the Minister of Agriculture." Any such scheme shall be Operated by a marketing board whose members are to be elect- ed by the producers of the com- modity to which the scheme ap- plies. Consumer Representation. The TTninn maintained that "marketing boards or agencies established under present legis- lation have been sadly lacking the power to market, in other words, the power to buy and sell' and that existing boards are only negotiating commit- tees. It was therefore proposed that the powers be extended to include the powers (a) to mar- ket, (b) to process the product, (c) to fix prices. To prevent a possible abuse of such far reaching powers, the Union recommended that Ja nulnber of members, not ex- ceeding one fifth, of a market- ing board be appointed by the Minister to represent consumer interests. Provincial Loans. To facilitate the establish- ment of more and larger pro- cessing and storage plants, to be owned and operated collec- tively by farmers,in the inter- est of orderly marketing, the , Union requested the assistance " of the Department of Agricul- ture in the form of advice and financial loans "on a consider- ably larger scale than in the past." On such a basis it could be envisaged that a number of co-op packing plants will be set up, strategically located, all over the provcince. Investigation, In closing, the Union Brief urged the Ontario government to act on the motion of E. D. Fulton (PC member for Kam- loops) :lade in the House of Commons on March 9th which. called for an immediate investi- txt SETS RECORD, COLLAPSES—Runner Lou Jones lies sprawled an the track where he collapsed after crossing the finish line in the 400 meter race, setting a new world's record at the Pan American games at Mexico City, Mexico. Running past Jones is Jesse Mashburn, who finished third. gation of the spread between producer prices and consumer prices of meat and possible abuses under the present sys- tem,,of grading. As the federal Minister of Agriculture had refused to hold an investigation as being more properly in the provincial field and as the large packing houses have their headquarters in On- tario, such an investigation should be held in Ontario. The results would be most helpful for the organization of producer controlled orderly marketing. The Brief was presented by OFU Vice -President •Walter Mil- ler in a spirited manner. Ile stood up manfully to a barrage of questions coming from all sides. We missed, however, a proposal for the establishment of a separate Portfolio of Co- operation to take charge of all cooperative ventures as market- ing, consumer stores, credit unions, etc. # 5 # This column welcomes critic- ism, suggestions and questions, whether In the form of brick- bats or bouquets. Address mail to Bob Van Pills, Whitby, Ont. Fined For Kissing Wife Inspired by the sight of o pretty girl, a . romantic young Austrian kissed her in the street, againsther will. She summoned him for as- sault, declaring that he was a stranger and that she greatly re rented• being kissed by , someone to whom she had not been in- troduced. After hearing the evidence, the court decided the man was guilty—of stealing a kiss. They fined him heavily, but he ap- pealed to the highest court in Vienna. The supreme judge listened carefully to him and to the girl and then gave judg- ment. "To kiss a girl against her will is not a crime," he pro- nounced. "You were wrongly fined. Custom has made such hisses a recognized part of our social system." Kissers in public have fre- quently got into trouble, so the Austrian can consider himself lucky. In Belfast a few years ago a young man and a girl were locked up overnight mere- ly because they kissed frequent- ly in the street. In the days when Philadelphia hacl an anti -kissing law, the skipper of a merchant ship, Captain Montague, was fined twenty dollars for having kissed his. wife on landing after a six months' voyage. LAW'S "LIST" The fine was paid. Then Cap- tain Montague, in order to prove (as he said) that no malice was borne, asked the magistrates to dine aboard his ship before he left for his next voyage. They accepted his invitation. He plied them with so much liquor that most of them were soon rather tipsy. Then the cap- tain told them: "Gentlemen, I have a strict law against drunk- enness on my ship, just as you have a law against kissing in your streets. I paid my penalty, you must pay yours." He then instructed his boat- swain to administer to each er- ring :magistrate a dozen strokes with a birch. Nis Number Was Two Numerologists m a y attach whatever significance to this story as they please. It's about Ray Chapman, famous short- stop of the Cleveland Indians, whose greatest phobia was a number—the number two. Before batting, he would always swing two bats. At bat, he tapped twice On home plate. He never entered a place first, but always second. And he bat- ted second in the Cleveland line-up. On Aug. 16, 19.29, Ray Chap- man took part in the strangest game of his career. Twice, with the count at two and two, Ray hit two -baggers. Twice with the count at two and two, Ray was hit by a pitched ball. At the close of the day, his figures in "the box score were: Times at bat, 2; runs scored, 2; hits, 2; stolen bases, 2. In the field it was: putouts, 2; assists, 2; errors 2. as On his last time at bat, In the seventh inning, Chapman was hit by a pitched ball for the second time, to make the cycle of twos complete. Ray Chap-. man dropped to the ground, under the impact of the blow, and never got up again. Within a matter of hours the great shortstop was dead, never again to be obsessed by the number two. In good company you need not ask who is the master of the feast. The man who sits in the lowest place, and who is always industrious in helping every one, is certainly the man. —David Hume 'Stop Monkeying Around Playyaffa r Mascot Charlie Chimp, left, calls for one right over the plate—low—as the Brooklyn Dodgers undergo spring training at Vero Beach, Fla.

Secret Lost For Two Thousand Years It took a Roman Caesar, to hold up progress more than two thousand years. It happened at the sumptuous palace of the Roman princes where Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of Rome, glow- ered from his luxurious couch at the craftsman who sought audience with him. "What is. it you would show me?" he demanded. Flom the folds of his garment the man drew forth a beautiful- ly moulded goblet .of sparkling glass. He held it up to the light and gazed at it with pride. '"Watch, 0 Emperor!' he cried. With a quick gesture he dash- ed the crystal cup to the stone floor of the palace. There were whispers of witchcraft as the courtiers stared in wide-eyed amazement. The glass had not shattered; only a dent showed where it had struck the door. The craftsman stooped, picked up the goblet and hammered it back into shaped. "Does anyone else know the secret of this glass?" thundered Tiberius. "No," said the man proudly. But his pride soon turned to fear, for a terrible anger cloud- ed the Emperor's features as he spoke again: "If this art be •pro- pagated, all goblets will be made of this — and our gold and sil- ver ones will be as worthless as dirt!" The craftsman paled at the Emperor's next words. Tiberius was ordering the soldiers to take him away and execute him. And so the invention of safety glass, protector of. every motor- ist, was delayed for more than twenty centuries, To exist is to change, to change is to mature. —Henri Bergson.
