Driving over a big hump we noticed a sign at the side of the road saying that from here on all water was flowing into the Arctic Ocean, which made us feel chilly enough to close the window. We also noticed that in the clear cool air of the North the car was picking up speed on those long long stretches of pavement without our pushing the gas. Time honoured Manner Timmins is a quiet -little place and people look peaceful and contented. As a matter of fact it struck us that they all seem to wear a gay little smile behind their whiskers like the prover- bial cat that has eaten the can- ary. They are happy and they tell you why as soon as you come in the door, Everybody is talking about Operation "Clean -Up" of last week, • when the striking miners of Broulan - Reef raided 'i the mine to deal with the scabs, brought in by the manager, in "the time honoured manner." The whole thing was carried out with the methodical precis sion of the Commando raids the boys were taught to use in the last war 17 Minutes SOti hien were milling ravound the police cars talking to the Provincials while 13 cars, park- ed along the road, quietly and unobstrusively filled up with five men each. At a given signal they all ?ped off right through the mine gate up to the change house where the strike breakers were clean- ing up. 1t did r,ot take them long to finish the job although they did it with their bare fists and not, as the press reported, with sticks and bats. The scabs had those as they had been expect- ing something of the sort, Ten of the strike breakers were dragged along, packed in the cars to be dumped on the highway three miles away, The whole operation was over in 17 minutes, The mine manager fired three shots at the last car artd hit a tire. It was the only car in the whole convoy with self-sealing tires and therefore could drive on. As one of the men said after. wards: "God must have beer, with us." Shoot to Maim. Timmins is a mining town and a union town and nothing in- terests the people as much as mining and union business. They realize that the companies are out to break the union and they are not going to have it. The manager of Broulan-Reef has armed, the strike-breakers left in the mine and given them the order: "Shoot to maim. He has refused to follow the in- vitation of Mr. Daley, Ontario Minister of Labour, to come to Toronto and consult with him and union representatives. He is also reported to have said that he would hang up on Leslie Prost himself if he were to call him up. 01d Memories. We had the opportunity to vis- it the picket lines with our old friend Bill Grutmnett, CCF member for Cochrane South in the Ontario Legislature. The boys are of good cheer, but they are wondering whether the times are coming back when workers were shot at because they wanted to organize. They are, however, resolved to stand by their rights and to defend their union. Farmers of Ontario might learn from the miners of Tim- mins how to handle scabs, the next time they call a milk strike or are locked out by the fruit and vegetable carmine eon. paries. This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question.

PLENTYOF FISH There may still be a shortage of meat, but each of the 2,400 million men, women and children on earth has some 89,600,000 fishes at his or her disposal, This emerges from the inves- tigations of experts in oceano- graphy, whose results have just been published in Italy, In every square kilometre Of ocean there can be found an average of 65 million fishes. Since the total surface of the earths oceans amounts to 1,372 million square kilometres, the world's fish population is 09,000,000,000,- 000,000, How Fne' pan 'Bagged' A rket When you're in bed in a hospi- tal, you have time to do a lot of think And thing.at's when Philip Bagley, Cumberland County, threatened with blindness, thought himself right into a bigger and better market than ever for his garden produce. Phil was worried about his eyes, but he also fretted about 60 tons of Blue Hubbard squash back home, that was about to spoil on a slow market. He suggested to his wife that the squash might sell if it were cubed and packaged in one - pound plastic (poly -ethylene) bags. Mrs. Bagley asked wholesale grocers about it. "We don't know; can't tell until we try it," they told her. Neighbors helped slice and bag the squash, and the trial run was on. Today, Phil (with sight part- ially returned in one eye) has four wholesale outlets, and others are waiting. Last summer he built a 28'x36' story -and -a -half washing and storage shed that has a full base- ment. He has a payroll of six persons. Phil says that by cubing and packaging his crop he nets about double the ordinary wholesale price. When squash sold at $35 a ton wholesale, Phil grossed around $200 a ton, and netted $65 after labor, shrinkage, and spoilage. Going at full speed, his plant can turn out 2,000 one -pound packages of squash daily. Phil is now starting to pack carrots, too. "While I lay there in the hos- pital I decided that the reason city folks wouldn't buy squash was because the squashes were too large," he said. "I figured that one -pound packages would be about right. Looks like I hit it right on the nose." Gary Cooper, hero and Award winner of many Westerns, once tried to be a real cow -puncher. He was sacked from three suc- cessive jobs. Glenn Ford started out as a salesman, but was fired. It was the same with Humphrey Bogart. Errol Flynn, before his film career, was sacked from so many jobs that he has lost count. "Terrible Terry" DWI Last Long Nowadays the boxing commis- sions of the various states put all sorts Of restrictions on fights that Under -age youngsters are permit- ted to engage in. It wasn't always like that and no story of the ring is more to the point than 'Terry McGOvet`n's. Terry Sought at the turn ort the century. Some •say that he started professionally when he was only a kid of sixteen. It is a fact that by the time McGovern was seventeen he was already known as the "Terror of the Ring," "Terrible Terry" they nicknamed him, and the young- ster richly deserved the name. Ile was the most savage and dy- namic fighter of his time. He feared absolutely no one .Before he wus twenty-one years of age, Terry won the ban- tamweight championship of the world. That, in itself, is remark- able. Before he was twenty-one, he aloe won the featherweight title! Incredible, you say? That is not all for little Terry Mc- Govern was so great a fighter, that before he was old enough to vote, he not only .copped the bantam crown and the feather- weight title but he also fought Frank Erne, the lightweight champion of the worlds ---and' knocked him out: Indeed, Terry McGovern was a great little bruiser. He proudly strutted up and down the land with his titles and his hard swinging fists, winning all the boxing glory that there was for him to get. And then, one day, in 1901, Terry came to Hartford, Connec- ticut, to fight an unknown nam- ed Young Corbett, a lad from Denver, Colorado. The fight looked like an easy touch for unbeatable Terry, He was sitting on the rubbing table in his dressing room, wait- ing for the call to go into the ring, when someone hammered on the door. A harsh voice on the other side growled, "Come on out of there, McGovern, you tramp, and take your licking." It was Young Corbett. Little Terry McGovern, the greatest hitter and fighter of his weight in the fight game, turned white, not with fear but with rage. He sprang from the rubbing table. "Let's get out of herel" he shout- ed to his handlers, "Come on, I want to get at that guy!" Trainer, manager, seconds in- stantly obeyed the Terrible Terry. Not one of them but thought that he would tear 'he challenger limb r. .1i limo. But that met we oo:ung world was treated to one of its most shocking surprises. Before two rounds had pased by. ''e great, the invincible, the unbea.- able Terrible Terry McGov::•n lay unconscious on the canvas, the victim of a knockout at the hands of the boastful little men from Denver. And above him, grinning down at hisstill form, stood Young Corbett saying, "I told you you were a I That was the begrn,r...., .,, the end of the mighty atom 05 the ring. Terrible Terry McGovern never amounted to much after the beating he took at the hands of Young Corbett. And the sur- prising twist to the story is that, while McGovern won the ban- tamweight and featherweight championships of the world be- fore he was twenty-one, and knocked out the lightweight champion of the world before he was twenty-one, he was also through and washed up as a fighter—before he was twenty - Here Comes Engine No, 29—This complex structure on display at a toy exhibit offers new fascination for model railroad enthu- blasts.
