The Seaforth News, 1950-04-13, Page 2"N-i-i-ce Kitty!" — Television announcer Jim Hurlbut satisfies a lifelong—though uncommon --ambition by scratching a lion's back. The lion in this case is "Diilitlger," a star boarder at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Hurlbut, who "interviews" zoo inmates on a weekly TV broadcast, was assured in advance- that "Dellinger" is just a lovable character at heart. SPORT — A Stx51TC There's an old saying around race tracks to the effect that winners are where you find them. Any system of picking then is a good system—so long as it works. And in alt the realm of sport there is no more pathetic spectacle than that of a husband— one who carefully collects all avail- able information and handicaps them scientifically—at the end of a losing afternoon trying to smile gamely at the little woman who,'by cleans of the ancient method of shutting her eyes and jabbing a pin through the program, has come up with about five nice -priced winners. :e * * And we have seen just that very thing happen, more than once. In fact it has happened to us person- ally, more than once, But those days seem to be gone, thank goodness. The ladies no longer go in for hat- pins to any great extent; and no other sort of pin seems to work the same magic, for some reason or none. :k :k * The following brief but truthful little anecdote is along the same lines. A large manufacturing plant situated near a great Ontario has— as what establishment of any size hasn't?—its quota of those devoted to improving the breed of Thor- oughbreds by betting on them. Or, store briefly, horse -players. * * * Snore of these snake their selec- tions by means of Past Perform- ance, poring over the pages of The Racing Form—vulgarly known as The Dope Sheet"—for hours at a stretch. Othera take a shorter, but no less certain Highway to the Ilockshop, by letting some of us newspaper "experts" do the picking. And one or two are strictly "hunch players," Your. hunch players is a peculiar bird. Everything that happens, and a lot of things that don't, has a hidden meaning, if you can only figure it out, For example, if you should happen to dream about eat- ing green apples, and then in next day's entries see a steed named BEL — STOMACH ACBE, it stands to reason you have a sure and certain warning to bet all you have on its chances. * * * (We might say, parenthetically, that these hunches sometimes work out. In fact, if we were asked just which would go broke the sooner —the hunch player of the scientific one -our answer would be that a dead heat might well be the result, only the hunch player would have more fun for his money.) * a * But to get back to our tale. Its the group we were speaking about, one —we'll call hint Mike—was strictly a hunch bettor. And when the others, on scanning the entries on a recent morning, saw that a cer- tain horse was carded to carry a weight of 217 pounds, they sats a chance for a bit of fun. Obviously it was just a misprint. Horses don't carry such weights—not since the (lays of Knights in Artnor--- anrl the correct figure should have been 117. r k * "When alike sees this horse car- rying 217, bets bound to want to know 'How Come'," said one of the jokers, "Let's tell hits that there are just a few horses that have a strain of elephant blood, and the rutea are that they have to natty 100 pounds extra. He'll be- lieve pretty nearly anything you tell him;• maybe hell even go for that." t k * It happened just as expected. Mike saw the unusual poundage, and wanted to know wherefore and why. With straight faces the eon- spirators informed hint about the unuual breeding, and the extra hundred pounds it entailed Mike Looked at them suspiciously, but none of them even cracked a smile, Finally he walked away. "Surely he wasn't sucker enough to swallow such a tale," remarked one of the group. Then they promptly forgot all about it. * :) * They forgot all about it, that is to say, till about 24 hours later when, the next morning, their dupe Mike bore down on then his coun- tenance wreathed in smiles. "Pretty Mice," lee said, "that one that was to carry the 217 pounds!" ✓ * ,k "Surely you didn't bet on hint?" gasped one of the others. "Sure thing I did," replied - Mike. "Of course I didn't pay much atten- tion to all that bushwa . of yours about the elephant blood. I was pretty sure you were juat kidding ale. Still, I thought to myself that when they made that mistake in the weights it is a pretty good hunch—so I bet five straight, five place—pretty near thirty bucks winner—and that's not so hard to take." * k * As we started off by saying, this is a strictly true story. We could tell you the name of the manufac-' turing plant aforesaid, but refrain —for fear of reprisals on the part of the "smart" horse players who DIDN'T have a bet on that winner. * * * Still, just as a guarantee of good faith, we can give you SOME of the details. It happened in the last week in March. The paper that misprinted the weight was the emi- nent Toronto Globe & Mail. And the name of the steed was QUACK QUACK. You could look it up if your Sunday School Library hap- pens to keeps file of racing papers. * * * What is the moral? (For all tales of this nature should undoubtedly carry a moral.) Well --and it's a good one to remember with the racing season about to burst upon us — WINNERS ARE WHERE YOU FIND THEM. Also — A GOOD LUCKY STREAK BEATS ALL THE RACING DOPE EVER PRINTED.

TAY LW LIMITED TORONTO SAFE WORKS' 115 Front St, IL, Tomei nEatahtlehed 7.865 ISSUE 15 — 1950 FARMFONT Several times in the past, I've written about the necessity for at- tention to safety, especially around the home or on the farni, where so large a percentage of accidents oc- cur. But accidents do happen, and it's well for everybody—young and old—to have an, idea of what to do in such en emergency. For that kind of knowledge often means the difference between life and death. So, a few words about shock and its treatment may not be amiss. k * 4'. Shack is the peculiar collapse which follows every serious :mei, dent, eta() litany minor ones. You suddenly feet faint, your face gets pale, your pulse wealc and rapid, and your skin feels moist- and clammy. Your mind is dell- and you may go into a "blackout," There may be stomach unset and vomiting. That's shock! It may collie immediately after being hurt, or may develop later. * * * The more serious your injury, the worse will be the shock. It might even be severe enough to prove fatal, * * * If you are severely injured and go into shock, (lope that there is somebody around 1,d n 0 knows how to treat for shock. If it's the other way around—if you come across someone that's injured, it's up to you to know what to do. * * * Severe bleeding must be checked or the shock may become worse. Lay the victim on his back, head low, and feet raised about 18 inches, If the ground slopes, place him with his head downhill. Beep him warns, and out of the wind. 1Vrap blankets, coats, or even newspapers around hint, * * * If he is conscious, and can swat - law, give hint small drinks of hot tea or coffee. If lie was chilled before you were able to bundle him up, you may bring him back to normal temperature by placing hot water bottles around him, but be careful not to burn him. If he vomits, turn his head to the side so that there's no danger of chok- ing, * * * Shock is serious and you muse get the viet;nl to a doctor as soon as possible because, in many in- stances, the shock is more danger- ous than the injury which caused it. * * :k Here are several types of injury, all but one of which call for shock treatment, and the first aid required for each. THAT ONE EXCEP- TION IS SUNSTROKE! Pound- ing pulse, high temperature, red skin, no perspiration should tell you that the victim is NOT a shocic case. He's suffering from SUN- STROKE, GET HIM IN THE SHADE AND COOL HIM OFF! * +'i * Electric shock (I) artificial res- piration. (2) Treat for shock. * * * Fainting (1) call doctor. (2) treat for shock. * * * Wounds. Raise injured limb and apply compress. (2) Treat for shock. * * * Snake Bite (1) apply tight band above fang marks. (2) lofalse X cuts over wound with sterile knife, (3) Suction out poison. (4) Treat for shock. • k * Burns (1) apply sterile vaseline and gauze. (2) Treat for shock. * * * Sunstroke. DO NOT TREAT FOR SHOCK! Cool off with ice. Moisten clothes liberally and move patient into shade. * '► * Auto accident. Do NOT clove patient, (2) Check bleeding with compress or !land over pressure point. (3) Check for broken limbs and apply splints; place pillow under injured limb. (4) Treat for shock. * * :k AND NOW, TO REPEAT, HERE'S HOW YOU TREAT FOR SHOCK: FEET UP, HEAD DOWN, WARM WITH BLAN- KETS, COATS OR NEWSPA- PERS, HOT TEA, COFFEE OR WATER, YOU DO NOT MOVE THE VICTIM IF BONES ARE BROKEN. AND, OF COURSE, IN EVERY CASE YOU CALL OR SEND FOR A DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE—AND BE SPIRE HE GETS THE RIGHT ADDRESS AND TRAVELLING INSTRUCTIONS, IF NECES- SARY!
