4 Russian publicists claim everything was
invented in that country, from the electric
toaster to baseball, and most other sports,
for that matter. And one which they
haven't yet boasted of devising, but one
to which they're entirely welcome, is the
"fire the poach" system which, at 'that,
%toes sound line a Russian conceit,
Not long ago there fitered through the you Curtain, via
Berlin, where the curtain must be thin in spots, stories of a
series of "investigations" that followed the Olympic Games,
and a series of dismissals of trainers and athletes.
Students of the decadent democratic version of this tire -
the -coach process will be struck by the more stringent Mus•
cOvite variations, For the more drastic Russian regulations
likewise carry more drastic penalties, because in Soviet Russia,
sports are tied directly into the scheme of Russian defense and
Russian propaganda' they are affairs of State, and as such,
are directly udder the supervision, not of a graduate manager
or hired coaching expert, but of the Russian Secret Police.
It may seem a trifle drastic, and in poor sporting spirit
to even the most biased, anti -coach groups on this contin-
ent, to complain of a hockey or football coach whose team
fails to win all the time, or a track coach whose athletes don't
eapture every event. But the Itusslan system allows no such
weaknesses. Either you're a winner, to the greater glory of the
invincible state; or if a loser, you're just a low-down traitor
who Is disgracing his country, and shouts( be shot at sunrise
In the lRted Square, as a lesson to all who can't go out and beat
the rest of the world.
"Soviet sportsmen" said a recent official critique, "are
proving the superiority of their country's government by their
achievements." So when the cry of the comrades echoes out
on the night air, "Fire the coach" it's really the cry of the
Secret Police, backed by a state where "win or else" is the
sinister policy. No use the coach and his proteges trying to
still such voices by promises to do better at the next Olympics,
or European championships. There is no next time. The coach,
and probably the losing athletes just go out of that business.
Next stop, the salt mines, Or, if Uncle Toe• happens to be m a
merciful mood, the firing -squad.
So let's give Russia a monopoly on the tire - the - coach
ayste)n. It's a silly, and unfair and non -sporting idea to start
with, and as such should fit smoothly into the Russian ideology.

There are a thousand -and one
everyday uses for wood. So
many, in fact, that the world
is using more wood than it is
glowing.
A hard wood like the oak may
take longer than a century to
mature, so that those we use now
will not be replaced for more
than a hundred years. Soft
woods, on the other hand, can he
replaced in twenty to thirty
years.
.Even this, with our modern
needs for building and pulping,
is a long time to wait, so forestry

experts have been trying to speed
up the process so that a tree can
be ready for cutting in about
ten years.
One of Ilse first steps in this
direction was to cross -breed the
trees. About a quarter of the ex-
periments made have proved suc-
cessful, which is a good meas-
ure in this work.
As is the case with all hybrids,
animal ar vegetable, there is a
great increase in vigour when
the cross -breeding is successful.
Cross -bred pines five and six
years old are already twice as
large as the average ".pedigree"
pines of the sante age.
But fast growth is only one of
the advantages of cross -breed-
ing. For some purposes wood
without knots is necessary, so
that sidebranches, must be dis-
couraged.
By careful breeding, pines can
be produced almost devoid of
branches.
There are age-old enemies of
the forest, such as drought, rust
and weevil, which are being
fought by the new trees.
Thus a species has been de-
veloped to combine the fast
growth of one tree with the
drought -resistant qualities of an-
other, while others are being
produced for their qualities of
resistance to the weevil and rust.
In Britain's Forestry Research
Stations emphasis is on the fast-
growing Corsican pine, beech,
European larch, Scots pine, and
Sitka spruce—rather than our
native hardwoods.
Other countries, too, are spe-
cialising in the kinds of wood
they most need. Swedish scien-
tists are working on aspen for
paper pulp. Denmark is concen-
trating on producing dwarf
fruit trees for indoor growth.
Australia and New Zealand are
especially interested in import-
ing foreign trees and acclimatis-
ing them. Canada, a great pulp -
producer, is working on fast-
growing poplars.
Eventually, with the help of
these hybrids, the world may
produce two or three times its
present volume of timber.
