Canada hasn't quite kept step with the United States; even comparatively, in the growth of Biddy Basketball. Nor, in fact has the game grown in Canada to the same f,r:tent as Little -League Baseball But - it is making rapid headway. For there are about twenty-seven Canactiae cities with Biddy Basketball fairly well organized, There aro probably twelve to fifteen hundred participants whose ages according to regu- lations range from thirteen years down to nine. Most of these cities are in Quebec, Ontario and the Western Provinces. Most of the Canadian Biddy Basketball Clubs are orga- nized and sponsored by Social Centres, Boys .Associatioes and the 'odd Community project. The schools have not as yet taken it up in any official way, The physical welfare of the boy is taken into consideration and a careful check is niade so that they do not strain themselves, either physically or emotionally. In the United States, the growth of the game has been almost fantastic, From the original 16 teams in one state it has spread, until now it has more than 10,000 shall fry playing on 1200 teams in 44 states. And it is being played in 11 foreign countries. • The program is regulation basketball in miniature, de. signed specifically for the younger set, The rules are tailored to their measurements and immature strength, such as lower- ing the hoops a foot and a half, shortening' the foul line ihree feet, and using a smaller ball. The appeal of this youth movement is almost irresistable. And it has received great impetus from Jay Archer, former State Teachers College star, who tours the country spreading the gospel of sport. -Canada has gone along without such in- spirational help, carried on the wave of Little League baseball success, but as in baseball, Canadian teams will soon be ready to compete in the national tournaments held annually across the line, just as did our champion Little Leaguers compete with distinction in the Little League baseball play-offs last autumn. These juvenile leagues are great things for the youngsters. They cut across race, creed, and other beliefs and social clic- Unctions in a fashion that is more truly democratic than pre- vails in anything outside sport, They start our kids off on truly' democratic lines, something that only sport, the great leveller, can accomplish, Your comments and suggesiiofls for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, clo Calvert House, 431 Yonge St, Toronto, Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHEtSTBURG. ONTARIO How To Protect Your Woolens Joint .research by the U.S. De - pertinent of Agriculture and the Army Quartermaster Corps has developed a ,process of using DDT that protects the Army's stored woolens from insect dam- age for as long as five years, DDT -treated uniform cloth showed no evidence of damage even though hungry fabrics pests have been placed on the cloth each year during the past five years. Actually 50,000 carpet beetles and 25,000 clothes moths were used in the tests, which com- pared several wool - protecting methods. Spraying with a 5 -per -cent 1—.....DDT oil solution offers the home- maker an easy, safe, and low- cost way of protecting stored woolens. Although not so thor- ough as the Army's DDT -impreg- nation method, sprays, neverthe- less, guarantee many years of protection from fabric pests for home -stored woolen s. Wool clothes that are in use, and rugs and draperies that are subject 10 wear, require seasonal treat. ment and retreatment after they have been dry-cleaned or washed. A simple procedure for the home -maker is to bang the wool- ens on a clothesline and spray them lightly hut thoroughly. Af- ter the treated woolens are dry, they can be stored in closets, boxes, or chests, Spraying DDT On the interior wall, floor, and shelf surfaces of closets, and on both inside and outside surfaces of storage containers, gives ad• ditional protection from the larvae of clothes moths and car- pet beetles. Wool carpets, rugs, and draperies can also be pro- tected fro>;c these fabric pests the year round by being sprayed •kvith DDT. A simple hand spray er can be used for all these jobs, • Applying the 5 -per -cent DDT spray until the wool has become thoroughly moistened assures adequate protection. However, do not soak fabrics with spray, because too much DDT may leave a white deposit on the cloth after the spray has dried. This is especially true on dark -colored woolens. Persons applying the spray should stand as far from it as possible, and ,should not breathe the DDT -oil solution. They should wash their hands and faces with soap and warm water after spray- ing is completed. Care should be taken also to avoid getting the spray on foods and utensils when the spraying is done indoors, Experiments indicate that com- plete protection from carpet - beetle and clothes -moth larvae is gained only by treating all the cloth with DDT. Rolls of fabric only partially treated were da- maged to varying degrees. — From "Woman's Day." EXPLANATION Arthur Rubinstein, the great pianist, was such a social lion in Paris that he scarcely found time to practise. In desperation he instructed his butler to tell all callers, regardless of their importance, that he was not at home. The recognized leader of boulevard. society phoned one morning while Rubinstein was playing one of his most le mpes- tuous and difficult standy-bys, "The master is not in," said the butler dutifully. "Poppycock,'' snapped the great lady, I hear him playing distinctly." "Oh, no, madam," the butler assured her. "That's just me dusting the keys."

How "Silent Night" Came To Be Written Just east of St. Anton the Arl- berg -Orient express stops at a tiny, biscuit -yellow verandahed station with swinging flower bas- kets, standing all by itself in an immense Alpine landscape and serving no visible hinterland. The station is marked 'Oetztal,' and it is in fact that point of de- parture for Tyrol's longest later- al valley, Though barely access- ible, the Oetz is o n e of those parts of the world history fre- quently visits. From the north no one can enter it without the knowledge of its inhabitants; from the south nothing without the natural endowments of a chamois can enter it at all.. , . The southern end of the valley is sealed off by the ice and snow of the Oetztaler Alps, W hose peaks range from eight to twelve thousand feet. .. . It was an organ -mender of the Oetz who picked up a simple little tune in Oberndorf, us dis- tant Salzburg, one winter day in the eighteenth century when he was repairing the organ in St. Nikolas' church. He learned it while the parish priest and the choirmaster were trying it out on a guitar, and it haunted him as he walked home to the Oetz. Sitting down to rest on a rock at the head of the valley, he met a .small girl, one of a family of four half-grown children whose voi im were c t91e pride of the fam- ous Oetrtat Singing Society. Listening to the lune no was humming, s h e promptly asked what it was, and learned it, mel- ody and words, on the spot. The organ -mender went his way and forgot. the song, but the girl and her brothers and sisters, when they (vent out the following Christmastime to sell gloves at the South German Cblastmas fairs, began to sing it when trade was slack in order to draw a crowd. The crowds they drew were enormous. To one such the choirmaster of the court of Sax- ony was attracted The song se struck him that he 13resented it, with the four Singel,, at a court con(:ert before the King and Queen of Saxony. It was first arranged for orchestration, then for great choirs; and eventually the King of Prussia offered a prize for the discovery ni the author of what had become the most popular Christmas carol of the Western world. The anther was Franz Gruber; the s o n g,. Silent Night. --From "All About Austria," by Virginia Creed.

This means that your all -leather shoes will keep their shape despite the toughest of mistreatment. ..Plain Horse Sense.. by BOB ELLIS Not a Dance The Encyclopedia Britannica describes "Dancing" as "the rhythmical movement of any or all parts of the body in accord- ance with some scheme of in- dividual or concerted action which is expressive of emotions or ideas." According to this description the farm movement is certainly not a dance, It is not a rhyth- mical movement, it is not in ac- cordance with some scheme, there is no concerted action and it is pretty bare of ideas. Ruffled Feelings It is distressing to see the con- fusion in the minds of the farm- ers concerning matters of im- portance to the business of ag- riculture, indeed, of the nation. A typical example of un- realistic thinking is the recent discussion in a certain County Council, which list passed a re- solution urging a ban on the im- portation and sale of vegetable oils harmful to the dairy indus- try, and then started a debate on whether the inmates of the Eloine for the Aged should be given butter or margarine. The old people are still, get- ting butterbut emotions ran high and feelings were ruffled before the decision was made. "Old Oat Burners" One council member said he could not see any diff'erenc'e in taste between butter and mar- garine and that the Board of Management could save $700 per ;year by buying margarine instead Of butter. Another felt that if n product couldn't sttiiid on its own feet In the face of competition, it Was •its own hard luck. Farmers , should return to horse farming. If they went back to the 'old oat burners" They could buy the oats from amongst themselves and would not have to give the Morley to the oil companies roc gas. Pau also, Brutes? F'ol' most fnr'mers margarine is only a target for shadow box- ing and a subject for rhetorical exercise. After they are through condemning it at their meetings, they go and pack in a pound or two with the groceries they buy on the way home. 'Why else would country stores, and even farmers co- operatives stock up on the stuff? The fact that they do, is proof enough that farmers have ac- cepted it and apparently want it themselves. Nothing for 'Something What then, in the name of the cow, is the use of talking about and against margarine instead of trying to find new markets to make up for the lost ones. In the same council meeting it was said that butter is too dear. Maybe it is. Birt if it is, why is. it? Milk consists of water, butter- fat and solids -non-fat. For all milk the farmer ships for pro- cessing he gets — after deduct- ing the trucking charges — only the price of butterfat. The. sol any return, ids -non-fat do not bring him Out of the 30 cents the con- sumer has to pay at the store for one pound of dried skins milk powder, the producer does not receive anything for the raw material; he gives it away. As a matter of fact, he would be bet- ter oft'; if Ise would soperate his milk, ship the cream and feed the skins to his pigs or calves or chickens. 1f producers were to receive their fair share for solids -non- fat, the price of butter would come down.

One cup of dry milk is equivalent in protein to approximately: le lb. beef- steak or % lb. pork loin or 7 eggs or ?a Ib. Cheddar cheese. At today's retail prices the consumer pays per pound pro- tein an estimated $4 - $5 in meat, $3 in eggs, $2.60 in whole milk, but only one dollar per pound of protein, if he buys it in the form of dried milk powder. Who Will Do It? These are facts and figures that should be brought to the attention of the buying public. It is up to the farmers and their organizations to do the job. In a world that is half starved of food and which is trying to get by on a diet of carbohydrates, consisting mostly of farinaceous starches like those of wheat and rice, in a world which is in bitter need of every gram of animal protein it can save for human consumption, hundreds of thousands of tons of the pre- cious stuff are wasted annually. Instead of asking governments to protect them by implementing laws prohibiting the manufac- ture of competing food prod- ucts, farm organizations should use their own resources, and also the government's if neces- sary, to do' some research work. They should investigate the price and merchandising sys- tems used in the manufacture and distribution of food prod- ucts, and explore the possibili- ties for new uses and new mar- kets for their milk -solids -non- fat. To the organization that first tackles this problem will go the fame of being the true represen- tative of the farmers.
