Mortimer Butch- ers has bad charge of some of Canada's most famous cattle, with a total value of $500,000 or more. For the past 16 years, before corning to Ontario, Butchers was herdsman with the great Montttic Herd of the late T. B. Macaulay at Hudson Heights, ' Que. That herd became the most famous on the continent, and its strain has now been spread so that the world'"s finest Holsteins can be traced back to it. Among the Holstein aristocracy he has had under his care are Montvic Rag Apple Marksman- valued at $100,000—although that is only an esti- mate as the owners won't let hila leave Glenafton at any price. When the 1948 Major League asebalL season started, and the Philadelphia Athletics hovered up around the top for the first 'few weeks, the experts—with a few neg- ligible exceptions—put it down as ,just a flash in the pan: "Just wait till around the Fourth of July," they said, "when real class begins to tell, and you'll find that those A's have found their proper level—down near the dregs of the second division." * * • But the Gee-lorions Fourth came —and went; and still those Athlet- ics were hanging in there giving Cleveland, New York and Boston— all three of whom figured at least two hundred percentage points bet- ter than the A's -plenty to worry about. And some of the other mag- nates—their fingers heavily callous- ed from alloused-from signing those large, coarse salary and purchase checks—were beginning to wonder if, perchance, there alight be something in the awCornelius MacGillicttddy system af- ter all. * * * For the aging Connie Mack's hir- ed help have always been—as com- pared to other big league outfits— a pretty much "from hunger" group. Back in the days—thirty years or so ago—when the Athletics topped all competition by as far as a strong boy can throw a rock, five or six thousand dollars was considered a generous stipend for any ball -play- er, and many's the fine one who did his stuff for a whole lot less than that. • • * And inhisinmost heart of hearts Mr• Mack considers that what was good enough for Eddie Collins, Hoene Run Baker, Stuffy Iviclnnis, Eddie Plank and all that lot is good enough for any modern. It is no secret that—outside of possibly the Washington Senators and the Chi - cage White Sox,—nowhere is a - dollar squeezed harder or let loose of more reluctantly, than around Shibe Park in the City of Brotherly Love, where the A's perform.. ' * * * It is said that the entire present Athletic team cost Mr. Mack less than $70,000 to assemble; and that what is paid just a couple of mem- bers of either the New York Yank- ees or the Cleveland Indians would cover Connie's entire salary list. Yet there they are, sticking up there, and with few signs of wilting at the moment of writing. There must be a moral, hidden somewhere in there something about virtue being its own reward or the like; but right now it's too hot to do any digging in order to find out just what it is. * * e One of the reasons for the Ath- letic's success is, of course, a de- • pendable pitching staff with at least four heavers who can be de- pended to go the route, or at least a major portion thereof. This is a distinct and refreshing contrast to many other teams we might' men- tion, where there is such a continu- al parade from bull pen to pitching box to bench that the ground keep- ers have to work overtime, filling in the ruts made by the proc i^ 1. • * 5 In the All Star game they have a ride that the starting lineup, pupil play, without change, for at. least three innings. We think that it is high time that the long-suffering fans should, in self defense, arise and demand something of a similar nature to cover the regular season. * * Sitting and watching two teams use eight or ten pitchers—to say nothing of pinch hitters, pinch -run- ners and othertine-consuming tine -up switches—may represent one of those keen battles of managerial wits the slick -paper sports experts like to write about. On the other hand it may just indicate that those same managers have clean forgot- ten that they have any obligation toward the fellow who really keeps the game going—the chap who comes in, not on a Press Badge or other form of Annie Oakley, but by paying good cash. As a concrete—to match our head —illustration of what we mean we turn to the first paper at hand. It describes a game played between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants. Manager Ott, of the latter outfit, used seventeen players. Manager Durocher, of The Bums, was content to put into action a mere, paltry fourteen. The playing time was three hours and sixteen minutes—and didn't even go, into extra innings but was completed in the regulation nine. 31 players; 196 minutes; 9 innings. 'Nough said. • * * Getting back to that Philadelphia pitching staff, after a slight detour, here's a quotation from the Christ- ian Science Monitor which should be of interest to a lot of Ontario folks, especially those living up around Pcnetanguishene. • * * "The veteran Phil Ivlachildon," it say's, "winner of 19 games last seas- on, must be rated one of the finest hurlers In the league. •The Canadian ace has' made a remarkable come- back following his harfowing war experiences with the Royal Can- adian Air Force. Phil was shot down on a bombing mission over the Kiel Canal in August, 1944, and spent time months le a prison camp at Sagan, Silesia. He rejoined the Athletics near the end of the 1045 season but did not regain his prewar foram until last year." For Safety's Sake ;Follow other vehicles at a safe distance.

TGOLS O 1N THE ur 'NarmartBlat India and Pakistan It was just about a year ago— August 15 to be exact—that India received tier final freedom from Great Britain. Naturally there was much clearing -up to be done, and plenty of headaches for those who had to do it. One of the greatest of these head- aches was the fact that, within the borders of India, there were more than five hundred sovereign Prince- ly states—each of which was ruled by its local Rajah, Maharajah, Khan, Nawab or what -have -you, Most at the five hundred were— or considered ere—or'considered themselves—absolute monarchs, Under British rule each had his appointed place. in the pic- ture; but what was going to happen when the British had departed was something that worried many who. knew just how touchy, and Jealous of his rights and honors each of these potentates could be. A week or so ago the Dominion of India issued a' "White Paper" telling of what has happened to all the Princely States since Indepen- dence Day last August. All but twenty ,of theta have been merged into regional units and have joined the Dominion of India. They are on exactly the same footing as the other Indian provinces, and the Government at New Delhi can re- gulate most of their activities. More important still, most of those once-Soverign States have now elected legislative bodies. It all may represent Progress with a capital "P"; but we very much doubt if a lot of those Rajahs and Maharajahs —shorn of their power and magni- ficience—would be greatly inclined to agree. Palestine Count Folk° Bernadotte, the United Nations Mediator for Pales- tine, flew more than 14,000 miles, during the recent 4 -weeks truce, in order to secure some basis of un- derstanding between the Arabs and the Jews. But his efforts ended in failure, as all similar efforts seem doomed to end until both sides show a little more of the "give-and-take" spirit. The war between the two oppos- ing sides is being fought, basically, on just one issue—the new State of Israel. The Arabs insist that they will never make peace as long as this State exists; and demand, be- sides, that no more Jewish immi- grants shall be allowed to enter Palestine. Israel insists, just as strongly, that it will never make peace unless its sovereignty is main- tained intact. * • • There are said to be, altogether, from 80 to 35 thousand Arab troops in Palestine. Eight to 10 thousand of these are members of King Ab- dullah's Transjordan Legion—well disciplined and well equipped. Egyptian forces number around 8 thousand; and there ate around 2 thousand Iraq troops. These are second in to Abdullah's forces. The remainder are Syrian, Lebanese, and "irregulars" - and are reported to be of indifferent fighting quality. The State of Israel is said to have 4o thousand well -seasoned first-line troops and, in addition, 50 thousand second -line defense forces. They are well supplied with machine guns and small arils and may also have some fighter aircraft, although not very many. • • • The United States was, the first nation to recognize the State of Israel, and there are some in Wash- ington who think that the Truman Administration should help Israel by lifting the seven -months embar- go on shipment of arms to the Mid- dle East. Another school of though, however, considers that to do so would be a bigmistake--one that would antagonize the ,whole Arab world and perhaps result in - the Arabs cancelling American oil con- cessions... Great Britain has very close ties with the Arabs, and the question has been just how—in view of these ties—she will use her influence in the Middle East. It is widely felt that sooner or later Britain will re - cognize the State of Israel; perhaps such action will have been taken by the time this reaches print; and there seems little doubt that the British' Government has been putting pressure on the Arabs to call ,off the hostilities, r * * In any case, it is to he hoped that some solution of the entire problem will soon be found. The conflict could have repercussions far more important than a number of Jewish and Arab casualties. Already the Palestine problem has done much to alienate the United States and Britain—and the anti-British feeling south of the border is far stronger than most Canadians begin to real- ize. As for open enmity between Britain and the U.S.A. — by no means a probability but still a dis- tinct possibility -what a chuckling and rubbing of hands that would cause behind the walls of the Kretn- lin. Great Britain Almost six years ago the British Government—then a coalition af- fair -published the Beveridge plan for social security. Its author, Sir William (now Lord) Beveridge said that the proposed treasures were a recognition of the fact that "the object of a government is the happiness of the common man." Early this month Britain's Labor Government put into effect four Acts which give the British "cradle - to -grave" social security which fol- lows, in a large measure, the origin- al Beveridge* proposals. Every citizen—rich or poor—is insured against different emergencies and is assured of free medical care from birth to death. The four acts—(with something of how each of thein works)—are as follows. NATIONAL INSURANCE ACT. John Sulith, earning the equivalent of $20 a 'week, must pay about 98c a week into the Social Insurance Fund. His employer pays around Vic and the Government adds 42c. If Smith gets sick or loses his job, or if he retires at the age of 65, he will get $5,20 per week plus additional payments for his family. If a child is born to him his wife gets maternity benefits and a "baby bonus." If he dies the family recieves a grant for funeral expen- ses, and the widow and children re- ceive a weekly allowance depending on how long he has paid insurance. NATIONAL HEALTH 'SERV- ICE ACT. Through this act every Briton is provided with full and free hospital and medical care• John Smith and family can go to' any doctor or dentist who takes part in this service; and can recieve period- ic examinatidns, drugs, medicines and hospital treatment. No doctor is compelled to enter the service; but if he does he is paid a basic salary of about $1,200 a year plus around $3 for each patient, Money for this service comes out of regu- lar taxes.. INDUSTRIAL INJURIES ACT. Workmen's compensation is takett out of the hands of private employers and made a Government responsibility. Part of the money John Smith pays into the Social Insurance Fund is earmarked for "injuries." If disabled at work or as a result 'of his work, he gets around $t) per week for as long as he is unable to work. If only partially disabled he gets partial benefits. There are no double benefits—that is, Smith cannot collect injury and unemployment benefits at tate same time, NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT. Should John Smith have a misfortune not otherwise covered— such as, for example, being flooded out of his home—the National As- sistance Board will come to his aid It is figured that 'the entire scheme, comprising the above four acts will cost about three billion, four hundred 'million dollars for 1948-49. Half of this will be paid by the Exchequer from taxes. The word barber is derived from the Latin barba, meaning beard..; - CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AOENTS WANTED OILS, GREASES < TIRES, tnaectteidea, 0leetrlc Fence Controllers, sot ss and Barn Paint, Roof Coatings. etc, Deal.. ars. wanted.
