HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1952-08-21, Page 2Cranberries Y, We have found the eranberry! John, in conversation at the hotel last night, discovered en inmate who knew of its whereabouts. This morning I hurried round to see him, and he gave me directions and a neap and two pond -skaters in a matchbox which I was to take and identify in exchange. In the afternoon we set off up to Elan Valley. It was very hot and still and sweet-smelling as we left the car and walked along under a pine wood towards a small farm, the start of our search. Our track ran through the yard where four Collie dogs, three geese and a hound puppy came clamoring to meet us. We waded through them rather nervously to the front of the little pink house that snoozed above the lake in the afternoon sunshine. The farmer's wife carne to the door; yes, indeed, she said, we might go anywhere we liked over their land; tshe hoped we would find the flower; again we blessed the Welsh for their generous views on trespass. Past the farm I took out the map, and there it was, the two fields to the right of the hedge, the stream, the gate, and on the left the boggy spot marked CRAN- BERRIES. But we couldn't find them. We ;hunted and hunted. bent double, our feet squelching in the spongy sphangnum, but not a sign of cran- berries, although John and Mary kept bringing me little pieces of this' and that, and asking, "What's this?" "We'd better try the next field," I said at last, but with fading hopes. The next field was less spongy than the former, thick with bog - asphodel and sedges. We wandered across it, backwards and forwards until suddenly Mary asked, "What's ibis?" "I don't know," I said for the first time, "It isn't what I thought cranberry looked like because it's so tiny, bet I can't think what else it can he, Show me where you found it." "I hope I can," said Mary an- xiously. But there was no need to re- discover the exact spot Suddenly we realized the plant was every- GiL GETS HIM --In mid-air at Yankee Stadium second baseman Gil McDougald of the New York Yankees flips to first base on a throw from shortstop Phil Rizzuto. The throw was too late to double Mickey Vernon. where. Its black and wiry stem, no thicker than a horse -hair, trailed even at our feet, its silvery half - folded leaves arranged along it like rungs of a procumbent ladder with- out its supporting sides. "It IS Cranberryl" I said in a voice sepulchral with excitement. It was late for the flowers them- selves, but we discovered a few, enchanting in their extreme delicacy, their minute pale pink ears turned back from their pointed faces like a cyclamen's. We found the berries, too, not yet in their crimson ripe- ness, but pinker than the flowers, and their skins beautifully marb- led. Some were round, some the shape of minute rugger bills, and they lay prone on the moss for their steins were far too fragile to sup- port them. It was a great triumph after all our useless searching of Plynlim- inon's slopes.—Frons "River Diary," by Dorothea Eastwood. OR,0 Y A SLXBITC Hew do modern wrestlers com- pare with those of 30 or 40 years age=—that's a question old-timers are frequently asked by 'aficionados' of today's groan -and -grant game. And if the old -tinier gives a really honest answer, it will be to the ef- - feet that nobody really knows. * That's because the modern grap- pler is, primarily, an actor. Fans nowadays — both those personally present and those who take wrest- ling via TV — demand action and drama in big gobs. "Something doing every second" is their cry; and if two wrestlers were to stand prac- tically mttionless for minutes at a time, striving with all their strength to get a slight advantage, the crowds would simply walk out on them in droves. They'd lose their public and —'what would be worse — their pay day. * How long it is since there was a real "shooting -match" in the wrest- ling ring we wouldn't car • to specu- late. The boys put on a thrilling show, please their public, get plenty of engagements—which is all that really matters. How they would have fared against one of the giants of old—well, your guess is es good as oar:. One of .the best of said giants was undvnbtedly Stanislaus Zbysz- ko. in fact 11 you had ask- ed hint -- pr even if you hadn't -- Stanley would have admitted that he was the best in the world. Yet ane night, in Chi- cago, Mr. Z was floored and pinned in just six and two-fifths seconds. Fancy that, Ileddat Less than seven seconds—not even time for the announcer to get in one plug for his sponsors product! * x * The night referred to was when the "mighty son of Poland" match- ed thews with Frank Gotch; and a brief description of what went on night be of some slight interest, besides helping out to fill a column. * * e Zbyszko was in his prime. He weighed well over 250 pounds, stood 5 feet 1(1 inches and had a chest measurement of 55 inches normal. let Gotch, smaller in every respect, threw him with a simple trick, * >, 5 Zbyszko had defeated the best in the land. He had held Gotch to a one-hour draw at Buffalo, Nov. 25, 1909, and when they met for the world's title at the Lhicago Colis- eum, the vast arena was packed to capacity, The fall came so quickly that the crowd could hardly be- lieve their eyee. * * * Gotch was standing in his corner at the call of time. At the word "Go" he wheeled like a flash and ran toward Zbyszko, at 'the same time extending his rght hand. ` WastedWords-Communist Mox Reimann (arrow) makes a speech in the West German parliament at Bonn, attacking the West German peoce pact. He talked to an almost empty room, because non-Communist deputies walked out on him, leaving one deputy •m Hoch porty in the hall. Ail returned after Reimann finished his speech. Zbyszko was taken off hs guard and raised his hand to grasp Frank's extended wrist, but Gotch dived underneath and slammed the Pole to the canvas with a leg hold, In an instant Gotch jammed on a bar • arm lock and a half-nelson and Zbyszko fell back to the canvas. It had been exactly 4 seconds since Gotch left his corner to begin the fight. Referee Fleming slapped Gotch on the shoulder but Frank kept up the pressure to make sure. Two and one-fifth seconds later Fleming again slapped Gotch on the back and this time Gotch jump- ed to his feet with a grin. Had he arisen at the first signal of triumph he would have been credited with the first fall in four seconds, * * * The Coliseum was a riot of noise when the crowd realized that Zbyszko had been thrown. An in- termission or five minutes was taken and the Pole protested the fall all during the wait. Suddenly there was a crash in the Pole's corner and the crowd jumped to its feet with a yell. The strain on the ropes from the pressure of arms and bodies of the Wrestler and his attendants had caused the ropes to snap and the post to crack off at the bottom. It was impossible to repair the damage, so the match was continued with one side of the roped ring sagging down almost to the floor. w * * Zbyszko came out cautiously for the second match. Gotch was ex- tremely confident as he walked out, The time was 10:17 p.m. * * Gotch rushed the Pole about the ring after a few seconds of light work about the head. Zbyszko crash- ed up against the broken post and sprawled through the ropes, but Gotch pulled him back from a had fall. Fleming ordered them back to ring centre and Gotch toppled the Pole over with a bang by trip- ping. After six minutes of head-to- head work, Zbyszko went down when Frank gave hint the foot, but Gotch experienced difficulty in holding his man down, * * * At the eight -minute mark Gotch held his man for two minutes try- ing to get in a toe -hold, but Zby- szko was too strong and jumped to his feet. Gotch made a flying tackle as the Pole tried to tincan out of the danger zone and was on top at the 12 -minute mark, with Zbyszko caught in a half-nelson. For the first time during the even- ing the Pole got behind the cham- pion by some fast ground work. The Pole fastened his famous waist hold about Frank's stomach, but the title-holder kicked his way free. * * e Zbyszko flopped Gotch with a leg hold and was behind again for a brief few seconds, but Gotch turn- ed the tables when he reached down and tried for the toehold. Gotch kept his man down for seven min- utes, but Zbyszko was wary and played strictly on th defensive. * * * Twice the Pole tripped Gotch, but could not hold him. As the men - feinted for a hold Gotch suddenly dived under and grabbed Zbyszko's toe in a wicked grip. He held on tight for a minute and then let gp when the Pole kicked him in the ribs. They both jumped to their feet at the same instant and stood glaring at each other, Gotch be- gan to feint rapidly for the head with his left hand, but the Pole's toe was cruelly hurt and he backed away, at the same time starting to reach clown to feel if the toe was broke n. * * 5 Gotvh saw the action anti rushed in like a mad bull, He caught Zbyszko in a neutral corner and heaved him to the canvas with a thud. Quicker than a fish Ise clamp- ed on Ii bar arm and wrist lock, and ane sccrind later the inan from Poland hien bath his shoulders slammed dowii on the canvas Tina: 27 nsiuutts, 33 seconds, Canada's "Booms" AO it Looks to Others Some Canadians of modest nii:nd prefer to regard the fact that the Canadian dollar looks over the head—and not merely in the face --of the American dollar as a mark of the depreciation Of the Ametnri- can dollar, signifying no special virtue of the Canadian dollar. But if there is a single symbol of the results of Canada's hard work and the growth of Canadian self-con- fidence, it is perhaps to be found in the high value that the outside world now puts upon Canadian money. , . Canada has known booms—and the aftermath of booms — before. They were the booms of physical - pioneering and the westward ex- tension of the frontier through the prairies to the Pacific. Canada's present boons differs front its sev- eral forerunners in the fact that it is continent -wide; it represents the ,snttension of economic frontiers throughout a country that the pioneers had already opened up by road, rail, river and air. , Great developments, exploiting Canada's abounding natural re- sources, are proceeding in areas re- mote from each other and remote, too, from major markets in the United States, No boom was ever painless, but the Canadian boom perhaps comes nearest to „earning that distinction. Canada.is.notmerely favoured with abundant material resources. It has had the good sense—or the good luck—to provide itself with good government. Its economic affairs have been handled with skill unex- ampled throughout the world, It has found, in the short space of two or three years, a degree of self-confidence that is the proper amark of a country entering upon the early stages of economic matttr- itv, Already occupied with a load of work that less vigorous count- ries night stretch over a gener- ation, Canada has the faith, and professes to have the capacity, to pro- ceed with the gigantic St. Law- renee Seaway schema and to dis- regard Washington's refusal to participate. It would certainly be unwise to reach the conclusion that too much is being attempted too quickly, It is true that the defence programme has yet to make its full impact on the Canadian economy. . But the rise in both industrial and agricultural -productivity since the war has been so astonishing that Canada niay well be able to provide glens, factories and butter all at the same time. --Front The Econ- omist. rroromist.
