Sports•And One Thing' or Anther By FRANK MANN HARRIS "No more broadcasting or tele- vising of fights" is the latest edict of The British Boxing Board of Control —' a move bound to come in for plenty of criticism from vari- ous sources, especially those close to the business of Radio and Tele vision. Speaking personally — and as one more concerned with sport as a pastime than as chiefly a money -making racket we think !t -a move in • the proper direction. When sports broadcasting was in its infancy, we remember much dis- cussion as to what its general effect , would be, Those who argued that it would help to popularize sport, and increase interest, proudly point to the sell-out crowds at big league hockey and, baseball, championship fights and so on, saying that broad- casting did a great ,deal in making; them possible. * -* * Maybe they are tight, at that. Perhaps broadcasting did — and' does help fill places such as Madison Square Garden, Montreal Forum, Maple. Leaf Gardens; and the couple of millions of dollars Louis and VValcott are liable to draw a few months hence might not have been •possible without all the aerial ballyhooto make, folks more fight -conscious, and to wrap a mantle of. respectability around the boxing game. •* * * But what of the other side of the picture? Ask the small-town hockey manager how many potential dol- lars of revenue will fail to show up in the till should his scheduled game- happen to run into the com- bination of stormy weather and a night when Foster Hewitt is on the air' - or even only the latter. With the option of sitting' at home and listening to a couple of nationally known top-notchers tangle, or of going out and helping to support boxing in your -own community, which are you going to choose? For that matter, which is the healthier condition — a few million youngsters out playing baseball on their -own of an October afternoon, or crowded around radio sets list- ening to the doings of New York •Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers? * * * With television looming larger and larger, the tendency will be even greater for the general public to con- centrate on star attractions, to the detriment of lesser sports events. More and more this will fend' toward our becoming a continent of sports- ', lookers, 'rather than sports -players. For a while this will be O.K. with those who control and profit from those bigger attractions — another ease of "the rich ;let richer and the poor get—children." .Blit there maybe s day coning when even titose who look on them as fine sources of re- venue might wish they hadn't com- mitted themselves so deeply to the ,Television and Radio people. Teat's why we say we think the move of the . B.B.B.C.',nightn't be such a bad thing after all. It may not be a case of "'rhe King is dead long live the King" — but if the King we are speaking of — last name Clancy - isn't quite a subject for the mortician as yet, even his closest friends and great,: est admirers, and he has plenty of both, must admit that the old flam- ing fire is in danger of dying down toniere embers. For countless spec- tators at a recent Toronto . hockey game received a terrific shock when a Boston player rudely pushed Re- feree Clancy roughly out of the way and received, in receipt, nothing more than a paiucd look of retnon• .trance. For there was a day anti not so long ago when "The King" didn't wait for any overt act before springing into instant and violent acion. We aren't quite sure, but we r who bink it was Chuck Con ache wl o first described Clancy as "the guy that started a -million fights — and has yet to win his first one," Any= way, we do cherish in • memory dozens ,of picures of Clancy in the very thickest part of a brawl and Conacher reaching out one of those huge paws to rescue his belligerent friend and teammate, - • * e ButnowClancy lets himself get pushed around without flinging a misconduct • let alone a right swing! Yes — the old fires must be dying down; or else when Presi- dent Clarence Campbell issues those letters of his, telling players and officials how they must all positively act like little gentlemen on every occasion, only the latter bother to read them, Maybe the present-day player, when he receives a letter that fails to request either a picture or an autograph, just tosses it in the waste -basket as not worthy of attention. Briefly Told A •ittle girl was told by her teacher to write a composition on 'Ants," She began: `'Ants are of two kinds — insects` and lady uncles." - , Off On a "Cross Country" Jaunt—Just 50 year s ago a Canadian editor, speaking of the "new" sort of skiing, said that "it couldn't compare w ith either snow -shoeing or tobogganing"- He little foresaw the day when it would become t he favorite winter sport of hundreds of thou- sands, and a means of attracting millions of tourist dollar* to Canada. In SKI SKILLS, the National Film Board has produced a fascinating moving picture of skiing in all its many pha ses. "Ski Skills" "Spills, Chills & Thrills" was the marquee slogan one theatre used last winter in describing "Ski Skills," a National Film Board film devoted to skiing in Canada, when the film played its over one hundred theatres across the Dominion. This year—again iii the approp- riate season—"Ski Skills" is being shown on the rural circuit film programmes in the counties of Ontario. Although it is a short film, it is unique in many ways. For instance, from looking at it, you would almost swear that the camera itself had mounted a pair of skis in order to obtain the "shots" of the skiers as they round- ed the breath -taking curves and made the heart -stopping leaps in the snows that cover Canada's ski hills from the Laurentians in the east to the Rockies in the west. In making a filen in lighter vein, the Film Board found, from its theatrical reception alone, that "Ski Skills" was definitely worth producing, But, of course, aud- ience reaction was not the chief reason the film was made• It was made because of the increasing im- portance of skiing. Indeed, even the most superficial research show- ed that, beyond a doubt, skiing is o the way to becoming the top- ranking participation sport in Can. ada. Hal: a Million Skiers Figures froin the Canadian Ama- teur Ski Association—a body which has 132 member clubs across the country—reveal 200,000 skiers in Quebec, 100,000 in Ontario, 50,000 in British Columbia, 25,000 in the Prairies and 15,000. in the Marit- imes. These figures, though, are only half the story. Every winter, thousands of American tourists swarm to Canada's ski country, and are there met by the 'ven greater thousands of Canadian skiers who do not belong to clubs. All told, it is estimated that skiing is now practised by well over half a mil- lion citizens of this country. "Ski Skills" opens with a typical winter scene: the loading up of the ski bus. The camera shows the keen laughing faces as the skiers board the buses and ride tct'ards the wintery slopes. It then shows the ski lodge, with its inviting interior, its blazing fire- place, and the merry talk of the New Tires Greatly Reduce Skidding Tires designed to cut down skid- ding by means of wire coils in the treads are rolling out of plants of several leading rubber companies. And for the driver using re- treads, tire engineers said, thous sands of tiny granules of abrasives are buried in the rubber to resist the ice when the brakes are clamp- ed on. Cautioning that the completely skidless tire has not been built, en- gineers said that none the less 'research already has produced tires that will greatly reduce skidding -one of the main causes of win- terthne mishaps.

Amateurs and Experts On the skiing hills themselves, the camera records' many types of skiing: trick skiing, spectacular skiing, some terrible skiing, and a good deal of down-to-earth ski- ing such as is performed by the ordinary lad or lass. For the experts, there are se- quences devoted to the skiing art as it is practised by Pierre Jalbert of Quebec City, and other such well-known professionals. Names like Valcartier, Ste. Anne, Mont Tremblant, Lac Beauport and Ste. Jovite — the famous ski .resorts of the Laurentians, - where alone there are 38 clubs — are brought to the screen for the benefit of all, and especially for those who have not yet visited these places. 'Ski Skills," however, is not ne- cessarily a filen for the profession- al. In fact a good part of it ports rays the average down-to-earth skier and his comerade , who flock in the thousands to the local hill- sides as long as there is enough snow to bear a blade, And finally — "Ski Skills" rel cords the grand finale of every s!'iing trip—whether this be at the exclusive club or in the modest home—the fireplace session in the evening, where merry chatter, songs, and yes, even the sonorous arguments - of the arm chair skiers, who debate the great problems of technique and style, while away the hours of dar'.ness and relaxation. °:te Wins A husband and wife could not speak to each other except in the deaf and dumb language. One night when the husband calve home rather late the wife let him have her raging anger, her fingers flying a mile a minute. Just as he raised his hand to answer her, she turned out the light. ISSUE 0-1048 Only One Cure For High Prices Screaming about high prices will not help us. Hard work and prayer are the only effective cures, accord- ing to the Financial Post. The world is short of goods and harvests and until that situation i5' corrected, gen- eral price levels cannot possibly re- cede. - Canada and the United States could, if they :desired, forget about the rest of the world. They could stop the flow of goods and food to Europe, sit back and revel in their own plenty. But such a callous course would soon bring its own reward. There can be no permanent peace, prosper. ity and happiness for North Ameri- ca until Europe is rebuilt. And Europe is very far from being rebuilt today. That continent is short of food, machinery, coal, steel, houses, transport, fertilizer and of almost everything else except trou- ble. It's going to be a long hard pull to put Europe on its feet and we might just as well face the fact that untilthat job is done we are going to be short of food and goods on this continent and prices are going to continue high. Our job in Canada and the Uni- ted States is to produce more in- dustrial goods and pray for good crops. With luck and hard work we can do much this year and next, without them the outlook is bleak.
