No evader of a •strictly moral
eohmet such as albs wool(' •— ewe
hope --. he likely ever to have in-
dulged in a low-down pastime ,such
as the one known as Faro. In fact,
outside of Reno, Miami, and a few
other warmish spots. little Faro is
played nowadays.. However, scv-
eral phrases connected With the
game have become almost a part
of the language, such as "getting
down to cases," "playing tilenl with
a copper 011' to mention just a
couple.
• )
In Faro, we night explant, you
Can bet a card either to win or to
lose: and if you do the latter you
are "playing it with a copper on."
(In passing, we siuccrely wish they
had some similar system on The
Turf, because if we were ever al-
lowed t,1 pick — and wager on ---
horses to lose, we would now prob-
ably ,nen several race tracks of our
a
own, and not be flogging a Iong-
snffel'ilig typewrite[' for an exist-
ence).
* , *
What is more to the point, just
think of what a golden opport-
unity was missed at the start of
the [tow -defunct .Canadian football
season" What a dean -up could have
been made if somebody — prefer-
ably ourself — bad possessed en-
ough nioxie to take all the "expert"
selections and forecasts, and play
theta with the copper 00!
1' *
Let ue see note. In the Big Four-
-or
our—or "Little All American" as some
of us prefer to call it — a few of
the prognosticators weren't certain
whether the Montreal Alouettes or
the Ottawa Rough Riders would
take it all. Still. ntost of theist cal-
led the final standing as Ottawa,
Montreal, Hamilton, Toronto. The
real order of finish, as you probably •
recall, was the exact reverse of
that. Yes, indeed, somebody who
•didn't consider gambling immoral
—except. of course, when you lose
—could have picked up a nice piece
of change right there.
* * '
In the Intercollegiate, it was
much the same thing. ,McGill,
quoth the -seers — especially those
around that dear old Morryell —
were Muth too strong for the rest
of the lads, As the season went on,
we were told that McGill was not
only a great team, but probably
the fittest ever to perform in col-
legiate circles,
* * ,.
Well, maybe they were; but they
didn't act that way when the chips
were down. And the wettest crying
towels hung out the Monday morn-
ing after the Western - McGill
playoff by no means belonged to
members of the Montreal rooting
section. Several of those towels
were the property of folks in other
parts who — forgetting that the
experts who had been so consistent-
ly wrong all Autumn could slip up
again — followed the "wise money"
and bet on McGill instead of taking
some of the juicy odds that were
being offered against Western.
* * *
It would be laboring a point un-
necessarily to''.refer at length to
Western Football. We all knew,
because we had been informed
enough times, that the Calgary
Stampeders were a cinch to repeat
for the Western title, and probably
for the Dominion Championship too
—the biggest cinch that had come
up since one Thomas Dewey was
running for President of the United
Stares. One would have got you
at least five if you'd had nerve
enough to bet that the Stampeders
wouldn't take the trip east—twenty
or more if you'd said they wouldn't
even get into their league playoffs.
n * *
Yes, this has been a season of
golden opportunities missed by the
bushel --a season when you didn't
need to even get out tite forni charts
and try and pick them for yourself,
All that was necessary was to let
the experts snake their selections—
then bet those selections with the
copper Ott and be sitting snug and
cosy al! winter long.

Shek Tips for Winter Safety—
Winter driving, with its slippery roads and fogged windshields,
calls for extra oantiotl on the road: Ijere are some tips by traffic
safety experts aimed at peeping you alive and your ear un-
scathed through the winter.
Adjust speed to conditions, Follow speed pattern set by
majority of drivers. Keep windshield and windows clear
of snow and doe; lower windows to maintain side vision
if necessary.
Normal use of brakes on a slippery surface may lock the .
wheels and throw your vehicle out of control. Use an
intermittent brake application for stops. In an emery
gency, disengage clutch and jab brake rapidly.

Tire chains are the most. effective self-help for the •mo-
torist in increasing traction on icy and snowy surfaces.
Remember that chains do not provide steering control so
necessary on curves.
Follow other vehicles at a safe enough distance to permit
a stop or allow ample room for getting, out of danger if
the vehicle ahead should suddenly stop. Multiple col-
lisions are frequent on icy roads.
Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. When a girl has been intro-
duced to a young man, and is leav-
ing him, should she say that she
is glad to have met him?

before the wedding, so that they
will have ample time to plan their
attire.
Non -Skid Bowls
Nonskid mixing bowls that hold
their position, and a baby -feeding
bowl that Junior or Sissy can't
tip over have made their bow.
A rubber suction base holds the
bowls in place. The Mixing bowl
can be adjusted for right -or -left-
hand stirring of a cake. The base
permits the bowl to tilt handily,
but grips it tight so you have both
hands free for adding ingredients.
Pop and other amateur cooks in
the family won't leave such messy
table tops, it's promised, when this
mixing bowl is used. It comes in
two types of material--oven-safe
pottery and aluminum, '
The baby -feeding version is a
small glass bowl, attractively de-
corated, Inquisitive little fingers
can't tip it over, or shove it to the
floor. A "Grip -Tito' vacuum seal
base holds the' bowl fast to Junior's
high -chair shelf.

Why Our Children
Should Read Books
•
In an age when mechanical aids
are multiplying in moat fields of
activity, why should' we not leave
-to then the occupation and enter-
tainment of our children in their
leisure hours? Do not books and
reading aloud belong to a bygone
order, when life was more static,
when people had more time for
reflection and for savoring all the
nuances of the written word, and
children had time to live with their
favorite ]heroes and heroines, shar-
ing experiences which were often
faroutside their own daily round?
Surrounded by all the excite-
ments of modern living, with the
notion picture theatre just around
the corner and the radio and tele-
vision in the living room, why
should -we expect the child to lose
himself in a book, even though, by
so doing, he broadens and deepens
his own world incalculably?
Or, consider the question from
another angle. Are we willing
that our children should miss the
fine experiences of reading, merely
because plenty of easily assimilated
entertainment lies ready to their
hand? The old saying, "Easy conte,
easy go," is usually applied to ma-
terial possessions. It is true also
of those that are less obvious, al-
though no less tangible. Shall we
rob our children of the rich rewards
of wide reading by accustoming
thele to be content with entertain-
inent which requires the least
effort?
A child who is started early with
good picture books—Mute and Dad
enjoying then' with hint—will, as
he grows older, - have no recollect-
ion of a time when books have not
been a natural and delightful part
of his life. As his tastes become
more mature, and -Minn and Dad
continue their companionship in his
reading, what a pleasant soarce of
good family conversation books be-
come! In these days, when the
centre of family interest is threat-
ened by the scattering of objectives
within the family, the strong link
that a mutual interest in books
gives is not to be lightly overlooked.
It may be fostered by reading aloud
and become a source of much more
intimate and personal enjoyment
than listening to the radio or watch-
ing a television show writes Ethel
C. Ince in the Chfstian Science
Monitor.
• Experts in television find that
features telecast into homes must
have a special personal slant -for
small audiences enjoying their en-
tertainment within the family.

Direct from the stage technique is
seldom successful with these groups.
This is tangible evidence that home
audiences are not keen for informal
entertainment—suds as reading
aloud, with its opportunities for
personal choice and for short pauses
for discussion, abundantly provides.
These are times, you may say,
when a child's education has to be
very practical, when even his leis-
ure hours must yield some practical
advantage. With its possibilities for
molding character, for opening
wider vistas of life and people, and.
as a source of new interests, what
is more practical than reading?
The leader of a popular "quiz
kid" program was once asked how
he chose the "kids." \Vas it by
their marks and general record in
school? He replied that, while
their grades in school were an im-
portant factor, he always inquired
about their reading interests. When
he had to choose between a child
with high marks in school but who
did little outside reading, and one
whose marks were lower but who
had wide reading interests, lie al-
ways chose the good reader, he
said,
A discussion of the place read-
ing should have in a child's ex-
perience does not rule out the
values of good radio and tele-
vision entertainment; it is a re-
minder that they should not
supplant his opportunities to ad-
venture and to grow in the world
of books. It augurs happily for the
future of children and of books that
there are still children who turn
to reading naturally, to whom it is
a necessity—that there are children
who can be won to reading and
*become good readers—and that
there are adults who are sufficiently
enthusiastic and well informed to
strengthen and guide the adventur-
ous footsteps of youth in these well
trodden and rewarding paths.
