You'll find her among the alleged weaker sex, and, of course, Marlene Stewart is the name. She's the darling of the golf links anti has been for a couple of years. As winner of the British Open, Lhe Canadian Close, and finalist in the Canadian Open, Marlene captured the imagination of a nation. As the sports figure Of the year in Canada, she's a complete standout, with whose feats or glamour no Gerdie Howe, no Rocket Richard, no Teeder Kennedy, in fact no male athlete, can compete, Already admirers wonder if she doesn't even now rate with the very best of women players ever produced in this country, a matter on which this column declines to commit itself, But she's a great golfer, and a lovable sort of wholesome kid. Tito little freckle•iaeed Lacly, born at Chinook, Alberta, but playing from Fonthill, Ont., packs not only tremendous skill, and will to win, but a stout heart, the poise of a veteran and concentration that even Ben Rogan himself cannot excel. Two years ago, then only 17, she had developed concentration to a point that she apologized to an opponent at the outset of a match: "I hope you won't think I'm rude, but 1 never talk on the golf course." And now, at 19, 1Viarlene plays a precision -like game that astounded British golf experts, Marlene Stewart is not merely a Canadian who won the British Ladies' Amateur, she is the youngest golfer to do it and as the London Bally Flerald put it, "the smallest and certainly one of the greatest women champions in the world." Marlene was born with the lure of golf in her veins. Her home in Fonthill is only a short walk from the nearby Lookout Point links, and as a wee tyke, she was there daily, shagging balls for professional Gordon McInnis. Now Gordon is only a little bit of a chap, himself, and perhaps for that reason, he became interested in little Marlene, She took to the game as the average kid takes to ice cream. At 15 years, she already was displaying amazing determination, and equally amazing potential skill • Weighing little over 100 pounds, she drove with volcanic force, and at closer range, developed a style of driving straight for the pin, which today remains one of her trade -marks. She has won honours, plaudits, the love of a nation. At 17, she won three titles, the Ontario Amateur, the Canadian Open and Closed. But through it all, and perhaps because of it, she has remained a sweet, pleasant, unspoiled girl, a typical Canadian youngster, natural, and unaffected. Tour comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge 5f„ Toronto. Ca.1 DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTSURG. ONTARIO Horse e sea by NB ELMS Here is good news. To regain wort markets for Canadian farm products the directors of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture have adopted the prin- ciple of a two -price system Two -price system means one price for the home market and another price for export, low enough to compete with other exporting countries. We welcome this decision as a step in the right direction: co- operative action on a national scale. This columnist has always maintained that nobody should be as interested in the orderly marketing of Canadian farm products as the farmer himself, and we are happy that our farm leaders are beginning to take the initiative. "Farmers will have to decide whether they want a high de- gree of government control over their industry, as exists in the United States, or a strong farm organization working with gov- ernment to maintain a sound agricultural industry as is the ease in many European coun- tries," said J. C. Broderick, chairman of a federation com- mittee studying the require- ments of a national farm policy, Legislation Needed Mr, Broderick is also quoted as asking for "adequate market- ing legislation at both provincial and federal levels," This too is a point that we have raised again and again. Only a few months ago we wrote that "the demand for this legislation is sadly missing from the programs of the farmers' Organizations. It should take top rank in any and every submis- sion to the federal or a provin- cial government." At the time, we got a rebuke from the Canadian Federation Of Agriculture, 111 Sparks St, Ottawa, in the form of a letter dated June 10, 1953 and signed by its secretary -treasurer, Mr. C. G. Groff, saying that we were "far behind indeed" in our in- formation, Beginning with the Federal Marketing Act of the Bennett administration which was de- clared ultra vires by the Privy Co' "cid, Mr. Groff gave us the history of marketing legislation, federal and provincial, ending in the Federal Act of 1949 pro- viding for the Marketing of Ag- ricultural Products in Interpro- vincial and Export Trade. Inadequate Law We remember the discussion four years ago when "Bill 82" Was passed. It was fully reoog. nixed 'then that the bill was in- adequate as it dealt only with provincial marketing boards, giv- ing diem the power "to regulate the marketing of such agricul- tural product outside the prov- ince in interprovincial and ex- port trade." What it did not do and that is exactly what is needed, it did not make provisions for Nation- al Marketing Boards, Under ex- isting legislation a provincial marketing board could export the product it controls, sell it at a lower price and absorb the loss. It could, however, not pre- vent the nine other provinces from shipping that very same product into its home market creating tremendous local sur- pluses, which would be beyond the capacity of one province to handle. To regulate the marketing of any agricultural product in the export trade we need lnarket- ing boards or agencies with the powers to control the product of all 10 provinces in all 10 provinces. This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question.

They will always remind her of her four-month European vacation, as she acquired a different doll in each country she visited, Next 1Vlonclay, October 26th, marks the ninetieth anniversary of "Soccer" Football, or at least of the English Football Associa- tion from which the game takes its nickname. And all we can say is that it doesn't look its age, and that if anybody writes in and asks whether we were pre- sent at the birth we shall not be .amused. At 'the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen Street, London, on Oct. 26, 1863, a small band of footballers assembled to bring about a code of rules for the re- gulation of the game. They did so because the various schools where soccer was cradled played in various ways and so did the enthusiasts who went on playing after they left the schools. # 0 * Today the fruits of that meet- ing are evidenced by the exist- ence of La Federation Internat- ionale de Football Association, a flourishing world body control - lin the game. More than 70 countries are in affiliation, making it the -biggest international sports body of them all. As each country has taken to the game it has evolved a tech- nique to suit national tempera- ment, characteristics and condi- tions. Today 11 countries outside the British Isles can claim the distinction of having beaten the English League professionals. The 11 in the order in which they did it are Spain, France, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bel- gium, Austria, Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia, U.S.A. and Uruguay. What! No Canada? In justice to the Englishmen, however it should be pointed out that in every case they were on tour abroad. The home rec- ord remains completely free from defeat against all non -British op- position, with the exception of the Irish visit to Liverpool in 1947. From the time of the in- augural international match with Scotland in 1872, a fully rep- resentative England team has taken the field no fewer than 274 times against aides from 28 different sources. On only 57 occasions has it left the field defeated. Which is quite a re- cord and no fooling. a w Football, actually, has been played in Britain for more than three centuries, Records show that it was played in the schools as far back as 1710. But it was not until halfway through the nineteenth century that the first adult club was formed. The ex- ample of this organization, the Sheffield Club, was speedily fol- lowed in various parts of the country and only the lack of a standard set of rules handicap- ped progress. The solution came with the advent of the Football Association in 1863. a * * Which will be about enough regarding Soccer for now—ex- cept for this one observation: the ganne will never gain very wide- spread popularity in Canada as long as the powers -that -be stand for so many shenanigans. We don't mind an occasional free- for-all among the players of a sport. We have even observed with interest—from a safe dis- tance—the odd brawl among the customers, But when you have both at once, game after game, it's a bit too rich for our appet- ite. Big Night. The Ladies' Bible Class of the East Side Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, N.C., was pleasantly surprised by the brisk ticket sale for one of their social functions. Owing to a ty- pographical error purchasers were entitled to a session of "all- night sinning." EF AY BE VC °1 if life's not worth living it may be your liver!
