(leaven hes bee, Melee its origin,
dedicated to goof! sportsmanship. And al-
though horse -racing is an extremely
practical business, we can't find a more
truly affair and sporting event in 1952 than
the running of the 550,000„ international
in Maryland.
That an English -broil horse, flow aeras the Atlantic,
won the race, is beside the point. The sporting spirit in which
the race was conditioned is the: thing that intrigues, and
wins admiration.
American horses race on dirt trucks. Flat races un the
turf are extremely rare on this continent. But in Britain and
Europe, the great percentage of races are staged on turf
courses. And so, to give the foreign horses a fair chance the
Maryland race was held on the turf instead of a dirt track.
And the start was of a walk-up type, as used principally
overseas, instead of from the clel'tricnl starting -gate common-
ly used in America.
Ilow different from the other races of a similar type,
lam other years, in which great horses were brought from
England and France, to race against the cream of American
thoroughbreds, but were defeated under conditions strictly
American, which gave the invaders little -chance, particu-
larly as in those days, the foreign horses were shipped by
boat. For the Maryland race, they were flown across.
When in 1923, Papyrus, winner of the Epsom Derby that
year, was beaten by Zev, the Kentucky Derby victor, in a
match race at Belmont, there was some American cheering
over what was rated the superiority of United States horse-
flesh to that bred on the other side of the ocean. But experts
grudgingly admitted that in the mud which happened to
prevail that clay, a track condition entirely strange to the
British horse, Papyrus wasn't shod properly to combat the
track condition. Even if he had been, it's doubtful if he
could have won. Papyrus had never before set his dainty
hoofs into mud, and that he was improperly shod in the
bargain gave him no chance in what was by no means a
real test of quality.
Then there was the case of "Spinach" the French racing
star Epinard, brought across in 1924, and pitted .against
America's best horses at a variety ofdistances under Ameri-
can racing conditions. He ran three times against two or
more American horses that represented America's tops at
the various distances, and all the races were under American
racing conditions.
With the International of 1952, more fair and sporting
rules prevailed, designed to place no horse at a disadvantage,
Imo£ to give an edge to angy-. The horses niet on exactly equal
terms, and that, we believe rates the event as one conducted
in the spirit of true sportsmanship not excelled in any event
of the year, anywhere.

Aa;HER5t0URG, ONTARIO
11—befarc the year 1953 is fi-
nished—some character should
run a four -minute mile, or suc-
ceed in swimming the Channel
both ways, non-stop, he would
probably be a cinch to be named
Great Britain's "Sportsman of the
year". (Yes, apparently they go
— - in for such goofy things ever
There, tool) But, failing that the
honor seems very likely to go to
n 34 -year-old cricket -ball chuck -
or, name of Alec Bedser.
Now we, personally, know as
tittle about cricket as you do—
that is to say you couldn't pos-
sibly know less. But what bro-
ther Bredser recently pulled is e
teat comparable to the Babe's
clouting sixty homers in a sea-
son, or some baseball pitcher tos-
sing an 18 -inning game without
a .roan reaching first.
M. e
Never since World War II, ac-
cording to Sydney Skilton. when
the British adopted the United
States custom of popularity
sports pools, has one candidate
been so outstandingly conspicu-
ous more than six months be-
fore the ballot is given earnest
consideration. And never before
In the long history of "test" play
has an England cricketer been so
overwhelmingly acclaimed by
both English and Australians
alike
Always has Alec Bedser, slight-
ly older than his batsman twin
brother Eric, had a reputation
20r being a gallant trier, Lion-
hearted is how sports scribes
have dagged him. Yet despite
his unceasing efforts and con-
. sistently good bowling which
kept him among the top in his
country he never revealed that
scintillating sparkle that every
close student of cricket really
believe to be there. That is until
this summer.
Now against Australia in the
first of the five test matches that
sparkle broke through with daz-
zling brilliance. And Bedser tri-
umphantly enters cricket's an-
cient and scared portals as one
of its truly greats.
What put him there was his
match analysis at Nottingham
when he claimed 14 Australian
wickets for 99 runs, It represents
one of the best feats of bowling
ever accomplished in test match
play anywhere, England versus
Australia at crocket has been a
nonstop series since 1867 and in
all those long years only two, the
Yorkshiremen Wilfred Rhodes
and Hedley Verity, have taken
more wickets-15—in a single en-
counter. And only one Austra-
lian, F. R. Spofforth in 1882, has
ever equaled it.
The triumph of Bedser in that
first test match was all\ the more
remarkable because it occured on
one of those "it can't be done'
occasions. In the first innings
Bedser had bowled his heart out
and his seven wickets for 55 runs
included an astonishing spell of
four for two runs, That spell,
accomplished when the ball was
new and shiny, dramatically
changed the game in England's
favor after it had been very
much in Australia's, But Eng.
land's batsmen failed to drive
home the advantages To Austra-
Historic Touch—Queen Elizabeth 11 (cenlre) hands back the gold
and jewelled crown of Scotland to the Duke of Hamilton in
St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland. The Queen had just
token part in the "Little Coronation," accepting the crown of
the Scots. She is probably the first British monarch to touch he
crown. Standing behind her is her husband, the Duke of
Edinburgh,
lia's first innings total of 249 that
included a great captain's turn of
115 by Lindsay Bassett, England
could muster only 144.
Then carie Australia's second
innings. Bedser can't possibly do
it again said the critics bearing
In mind Nottingham's past repu-
tation as a batsman's paradise
and the fact the playing field
looked as good as it had ever
been. but Bedser said. He again
claimed seven of the 10 Australi-
an wickets—this time at the even
less cost of 44 runs. Small wonder
Bedser was given a hero's place
at the head othe England eleven
as they walked off the field hav-
ing dismissed the Australians for
a mere 123—easily the lowest
tally in the post-war period.
y
Thus Englandwas left with
only 228 runs to get in its second
innings to register the first vic-
tory over its traditional foe on
home soil Since 1938. It is now
a matter of history that heavy
rainfall caused 10 hours of play
on the last two days to be lost
and the match loaded with ex-
plosive episodes fizzled out Into
a tame draw England with three
hours of profitless and defenseful
cricket on sodden turf yielded
only one wicket while gathering
120 runs -103 short of the requ-
ired total. "
Interest now switched to the re-
maining four tests, and in these
Bedser has a really wonderful
chance, now that he has struck
steel brilliant forth, of passing
the biggest -ever total of wickets
taken in all test play. The record
stands to the credit of Austra-
lian's Clarrie Grimmet who be-
tween the years 1924-1934 col-
lected 216, Bedser's score at the
moment stands at 195, having
become the top Englishman at
Nottingham when he passed the
189 aggregate of Sidney Barnes,
a pre World War I stalwart from
Lancashire.
The Real Task of Labor and Managetnert
But above all, we recognize frankly, I think, that no matter
how earnestly the leaders of industry may seek to do so, they will
never succeed in gaining industrial peace until the leadership of La-
bor displays an equal desire to attain it; for industrial peace—if
we are to achieve it at all—must be based on mutual confidence,
respect and understanding.
Now, in saying that, I realize that it is always easier to see the
mote in the other fellow's eye; but it seems to me that the time has
come when responsible labor leadership ought to rid itself of two
old-fashioned and outworn ideas which seem to lie at the root of
most of our present difficulties and which should have disappear-
ed along with the "Robbers Barons."
One of these is the wholly -unrealistic notion that Labor and
Management are natural and eternal enemies; and tha 'I, for ex-
ample, am in some way a foe, or antagonist, of the men who work
in our mills. Actually, of course, we are fellow employees of the
same company, performing different assignments in our mutual
interest, as the nature of our business requires.
The other is this disastrous idea that in order to bargain col-
lectively, we must sit on opposite sides of a table and try to take
something away from each other. Our real task, of course, is to
join together in producing more wealth. not only for purselve.., but
for our whole national economy.

Q. Row can I remove mlitterw
spots from material?
A. A good remedy is the use of
sour milk. Soak the stains over-
night in the milk and then place
in the sun without rinsing. Re-
peat this process several times
if necessary.
Q. How can I make old vege-
tables more tender?
A. By adding a small amount
of baking soda to the water used
for boiling.
Q. How can 1 clean an iron that
has become coated with a film of
starch?
A. Run it over a sheet of fine
sandpaper and the iron will be-
come perfectly smooth.
Q. Ilow ran 1 save much of the
work of polishing table silver?
A, There will not be much
work if the silverware is placed
in hot soapsuds immediately after
being used, and dried with a soft,
clean cloth.

Yo1, Are Stronger
Than You Think!
it docs not matter how weak
you think you are. You may be
weedy, pale -faced and short of
breath, but you are still stronger
than any two strong men.
Interlace your fingers and hold
them against your chest, with
your elbows and wrists parallel
with the floor. In perfect safety
you may challenge two of the
strongest Hien you know to break
your grip by pulling your arms.
As they grip your arms, just
lower your elbows slightly, and
you will find that they can't
break your grip.
Lie comfortably on the floor
and challenge anyone to pick you
up, or even raise you from the
floor by ycur waist. You will he
quite safe in making bets on it.
Al] you do, as the man bends to
grip your waist, is to put your
left hand on his neck and grasp
his left wrist with your right
hand.
As he exerts his strength to
lift you, merely press outward
with your left hand and down-
ward with your right, and the
stronges weight -lifter in the
world will not be able to budge
you.
FINGER SLICK
Ask two strong men to each
clench a fist. Then ask them to
place one on top of the other and
hold them together as firmly as
they can. Possibly if you exert-
ed all your strength you would
not be able to pull them apart,
but there is a much easier way.
All you need do i5 t0 flick
each fist sharply with your index
flingers, Do it in opposite diree-
210ns so that one finger flicks the
lower fist and the other the top
one at exactly the sante moment,
tend you will snap ibe fists apart,

This Lifeboat
Can Even Fly!
Now undergoing final tests 011
the East Coast of Britain is a new
airborne lifeboat intended for
use by the R.A.F. Designed for
rescuing airmen or sailors un-
lucky enough to land "in the
drink," it sounds like the latest
thing in wonder -machines.
A reconnaissance 'plane car-
ries the 30 ft. long craft render
its bomb bay. Five parachutes
open up as the lifeboat is drop-
ped over the sea. Simultaneously,
carbon dioxide bottles inflate
safety chambers as the boat floats
down.
When it reaches the water, au-
tomatic switches jettison the
parachutes, release an anchor,
and fire rocket flares which car-
ry floating lines either side of
the boat. Survivors drifting in
dinghies or clinging to wreckage
then pick up one of these lines
and haul themselves aboard the
lifeboat through small doors in
the side.
On board they'll find protective
suits, sleeping bags, inflatable
rubber cushions, first-aid kit, ci-
garettes and matches, a fort-
night's food supplies— and fish-
ing equipment with instructions
on how to augment their larder.
Also provided will be chemical
bags which generate heat when
dipped in sea water, and charts
to help them stake their way to
land,
The lifeboat holds ten people.
It is fitted with an engine and
sufficient fuel for 1,250 miles. It
also carries a mast and 170 sq.
it. of sail. And that's not a11;
further equipment includes radio
.receiving and transmitting setup
and a radar beacon!
