Her name is Gladys Jeanie I'licstly, a swimmer from the suburbs of Montreal, youngest athlete ever to make R Canadian Olympic team, for Gladys was only 14 years old when she was maned to carry Canada's colors into the Helsinki tank. ' She didn't will anything there, hut Gly ulplc officials will recall for a long time the calm approach of this pretty hiss to the Olympic selection,. it was the night the Canadian Olympic selection committee was making the final choices for the Olympic teams. '1 he se. ini. niers and track field athletes paced their hotel corridors or drank coffee in order to stay awake and hear the choices- hut , teanuie went home and fell fast asleep. Shortly after three o'clock hi the morning, results et the swimming committees sheeting were announced, with Jeannie winning a berth of the four member girls team. Couch Maicohu Ross thought she would be overjoyed to hear the news. Ile awakened her, but Jeannie merely murmured sleepily; "tarot sol?" and fell back into slumber, One of the youngest swimmers ever to compete in the Olympic was Jeannie. Though she had turned 14 only a few days before the three-day title meet at Toronto from which Olympic selections emerged, she splashed to four junior Cana- dian records in three free -style events, In the 200 -yard free style she set a new National mark in the afternoon heats and theTt broke that record again in the finals at night. Her times in the 100 -yards free style and 300 -yard, free •tete were faster than the Senior records. Since returning, she has smashed several Quebec provincial tank marks, and won Inc Canadian National Exhibition 100 -yards free style, defeating Joan Campbell who was right up with the leaders of the woolen's 3 -mile professional swim shortly before. The youngest daughter of Verdun police captain Ray Priestly is a swim natural since she was paddling in the water by herself at one year old and while competing in a tots gleet at the age of ten she was spotted by Malcolm Ross who asked her parents if he could train her, Train her he did, but aquatic students will tell you that 10 years is a ripe old age to start on a swimming career. By then, say experts, the swimmer has missed the championship boat. A little girl from India, named Saha, competed at the Olympics and she was only 12. Barbara Stark of Berkeley, Cal., was the youngest American at the Olympics and she had reached the ripe old age of 15.

The first is a dispatch from Fort William, which reads, in part, as follows: * * ,k Fort William, Oct. 20.—A 27 - year -old Fort William man, Mel- vin (Bud) Barnwell, was shot dead before his bride's eyes in the bush, 20 miles east of here Sunday evening, when he was mistaken for a deer. Provincial police said Robert Webb, 17, also of Fort William, mistook Barnwell, who was wear- ing* a dark brown windbreaker, for a deer, as Barnwell walked down an old bush road toward !aim. He fired with a .300 rifle, and the bullet struck Barnwell In the shoulder, piercing both longs. He died a few moments later. e e e Our second piece of borrowing or, if you prefer, thievery, is from Bob Turnbull's widely -read "Outdoor Trail" column. Bob is also writing about the type of e, individual who arms himself with a gun and an outdoor outfit and, probably on the strength of that, puts himself away to all who will listen as a worthy descendant of Nimrod, the son of Cush, that mighty hunter before the Lord. Mr. Turnbull's tale reads like this: On the past two weekends three Toronto men—Dr, William Dewar, Hank Lamport and Cee Forsyth—have gone duck shoot- ing near Honey Harbor. They have taken a nice bag of ducks from each expedition, but they also have had the none too plea- sant experience of being shot at —deliberately, Not just once, either. First weekend the trio was settled in their blind when along came a boatload of hunters sail- ing blithely among the sets of decoys. One of the Toronto party rqse to wave off the intruders. Up jumped one of the men in the boat. He unlimbered a rifle and let fly at the blind. A bullet F.

The gunboat then sped away. Later, back at their nearby cottage, the trio's peace was shat- tered by another shot whipping past the window. Last weekend came a third in- eident, Five well -armed buckos came tramping down the point on which the cottage is located. The Toronto men, a bit peeved by now, traipsed out to tell the t$espassers they were on private property, So what happened? A cocky young punk levelled his gun at Bill Dewar, and with lin- ger on the trigger, demanded with not a few oaths just what he was going to do about it. Af- ter a couple of ugly minutes of this impasse the ugly quintet shouldered arms and swaggered away. You can't blame the Toronto men for being fighting mad at this sort of thing. They are posi- tive that in all three instances the gunmen were not local people, but parties from the city. Nor were they all ignorant youngsters, lout mostly mature men. Things have come to a pretty pass when decent sportsmen have to fear death or injury from deliberate gunplay. Makes. one wonder if some of these hunting. deaths are really accidehtai.,Get- ting back to the boat -blind incid- ent, what was a hunter doing out on the water with a loaded rifle, anyway? Farmers have suffered from this sort of hooliganism for years. Little wonder they have scant regard for so -celled sportsmen from the city and are in no mood to differentiate between the hon- est citizen andthe gangster. It's a serious situation and I'm will- ing to wager the upcoming pheasant shoot will be a dilly for mayhem. Yet what do we, or the authorities, do about it? - Nothing much. The hooligan is winning, and his victory eventu- ally will be the defeat of the true sportsman—more posted land and less hunting. s e Bob Turnbull has put the whole thing so much better and more clearly than we could ever hope to do that we have little to add. Except this. About 90 per cent of the folks who talk of themselves as "SPORTSMEN" couldn't even fed the word in a large -type dictionary, let alone define it. And if they were to bring a few of these careless shooters up on a charge of man- slaughter or murder — and make it stick it wouldn't be more than they deserve. king Canucks-•Three CF -100 Canucks of the RCAF are seen here in flight near their home base et North Bay, Ont.

The sand roars in this area, and at certain times of the clay can be likened tothunder in the distance. A very loud roar can be pro- duced by heaping the sand, sit- ting onthe slope and sliding down in a series of slow jerks, By moving the sand slowly down the slope a hum is heapd. The hum ceases when the sand stops moving, Some time ago samples of the sand were taken in bags to Pre- toria for examination. As the bags were tilted and the sand ran out a roar filled the room. The roar was lost after a few weeks.

WITHOUT DRAWING BREATH Recently Franz Binder, of Mu- nich, won a beer -drinking con- test in that city of great drinkers by consuming 101/4 pints in ex- actly five minutes. Perhaps war and rationing have affected the capacity of German drinkers, for in the past such an effort would have aroused the contempt of those who could really drink. In 1602, a Frenchman, Mare- chal de Bassompierre, drank- 13 bottles of wine from his riding - boot without a pause while toast- ing the 13 cantons of Switzer- land, and history tells us that Novellus Torquatus drank 3 gal- lons of wine at a single draught without pausing to take a breath. The act was witnesed by the Em- peror Tiberius. Wine was, of course, a lot cheaper than nowa- days, but it was also stronger. Pierre Gaspard Sisson, who rose from private in the French army to the rank of general, drank 16 pint bottles of wine for breakfast for 22 years. DANGER!!
