IN THE
WORLD
_ .I'NormonBicar
Poland
Any time the ICrenilin bosses
crack the whip, Communists and
fellow -travellers in every country of
the world — including Canada
seem to have the ability to do a
right -about-face so fast that toes are
often seen trying to thrust them-
selves out of the heels of boots. But t.
sometimes even such speed isn't
enough to satisfy the Red powers-
that .be, as witness what happened
to Mr. Gomulka, until recently one
of the really big shots in unhappy
- Poland,
For something like twenty years
Wladislaw Gomulka has been a lea-
der in the Polish working-class
movement. During the war he help -
cd organize the Peoples' Army, be-
came Secretary-Generalof the Com-
munist -minded Workers' Party, and
always strongly advocated closer'
post-war ties between his country
and Russia,
After the war ended he became a
kty member of the Communist
group that gained and still holds
almost complete control of Poland,
and worked hard on its behalf. His
efforts did not pass unappreciated in
Moscow. Ten months - ago Uncle
Joe honored him with a personal
gift of a Russian-made Zis automo-
bile, and among his countrymen.
Gomulka was known as "Little
Stalin",
put the higher you climb the
faster you can fall. Ever since then
Gotnulke has been slipping. His big
mistake seems to have been staying
away from the Cominfortn meeting
at which Tito was denounced —
probably because Gomulk had long
been advocating a farm policy much
like that of the Yugoslav Marshal's.
Ever since the Cominform deci-
sion regarding Tito, his offices saw
little or nothing of Gomulka. Be-
cause of "ill health" he stayed in
seclusion, and the word started fly-
ing around that he was in bad at
the Kremlin. Early this month ruin-
ers proved to have been well-
grouuded, when the executive com-
mittee of the ommunist Workers'
party announced that Gomulka had
been fired as secretary-general on
the grounds that he had been siding
with Yugoslavia and opposing Com-
munist plans.
1.css than twenty-four hours later
Gomulka "ate his peck of dirt". Be-
fore a large meeting of party work-
ers he confessed his "errors" and
promised in future to be a good boy
'Ind stick closely to the party—or
Russian—line. But in spite of this
confession, the general feeling is
that Mr. Gomulka is about through
as a Polish politician.
However, from our standpoint,
the incident has one somewhat en-
couraging feature. The prompt
manner in which the Kremlin folks
cracked down on their former buddy
can be sten as an indication that
the split among Communists over
official Moscow policy is more wide-
spread and deeper than most obser-
vers even suspected. And unsound
apples generally start going rotten
close to the core.
The United States
An event of more than passing
significance took place in Washing-
ton a week or so ago. It involved
in man named John L. Lewis — who
is rather well known throughout the.
world and especially on this Contin-
ent — and another by the name of
Horace Michael Ainscough, of
whom few but his friends and neigh-
bors had ever previously heard.
When he was nine years old Hon.
ace Michael went to work in the
coal mines of his native Lancashire,
England, earning thirty-six cents
for a fifteen -hour shift. Later on he
dug coal in Nova Scotia, British
Columbia and Wyoming, his earn-
ings in recent years reaching as high
as $350 a month. Seven months ago
arthritis caught up with him and he
bad to quit work permanently.
One day this month Ainscough
took his first train trip in thirty
years — destination Washington.
At Mine Workers headquarters he
chatted with John L. Lewis and
others. Then Lewis handed him a
check for $100 — the• very first pay-
ment to be made under the potion
plan for which John L. fought -such
m fierce and lengthy battle early
this year.
The plan is financed by coal oper-
ators contributions of 20 cents a
ton on all coal mined. It provides
$100 a month for all miners having
20 years service in the mines after
Teaching the age of 62. On receiv-
ing his check Mr, Ainscough said
"God bless the day John L. Lewis
was born." In other circles vastly
dissimilar sentiments from this are
the rule regarding the beetle-browed
of the earth seem to think he's

Czar of the miners. But the men
pretty much O;K.
The tiger is found in every part
of. India,from the slopes of the
Himalayas to the Sundarbans
Swamps.
She's Perfect—Mrs. Roselle Coe is the third woman in Canada
to make a perfect score of 6000 out of 6000, and win the
Dominion marksman's expert shield. The Edmonton matron
is out to win the Canadian Open Sporting Rifle Shooting
Championship in 1949. She is a typical housewife, making a
bull's-eye out of every domestic chore, including the raising of
a robust baby son,
FORT
.6'J /a
STC
One afternoon some years ago a
couple of unreformed horse -players,
whom we shall. call Hank and Moe
just by way o identification, hap-
pened to find themselves at a very
big lawn tennis tournament. It
should be explained that they were
there sheerly through error, having
been attracted by the sight of
crowds passing through the turns-
tiles, and thinking they had maybe
run across a ball game, or open-air
prize-fight, or some such.
* *
When they discovered what they
had actually got themselves nixed
up with, Hank and Moe were very
much embarrassed, lawn -tennis be-
ing one pastime of which they knew
even less than they did about sing-
ing hynuls, which was practically
nil. However. they began to feel a
little more at home when they notic-
ed a character of somewhat book-
makerish appearance who was
accepting small wads of folding
money from various citizens who
would come and whisper into his.
* * *
Going up to this bookmaker -=for
such, indeed, he was, although mak-
ing book is frowned upon at tennis
tournaments just as much as it is
at hockey games—Hank said to him
in a low voice. "What are the
entries and what is your line?" The
bookmaker immediately replied, also
in a low voice, "The entries are
Hellman versus Bellman, and you
can have all you want of Bellmau at
eight to one.
* * *
Hank went back and told Moe the
news."And I think I will just have
to take a piece of Bellman at such
a price," he said. "Do you know
anything about this Bellman, then?"
asked Moe. "Do you know anything
about his past performances?"
* * *
"So far as I am concerned Bell -
man may be black, white or even a
Chinee. I never knew he was even
alive till about a minute ago when
you come right down to it," replied
Hank. "But eight to one is a very
sweet ,price—very sweet indeed—
and I think we would be missing
something if we were to overlook
such a golden opportunity." "You
are dead right," said Moe. "Eight
to one is a wonderful price and I
must have a piece of Bellman as
well."
But just as they were stepping up
to bet the bookmaker all they had
on Bellman, a stranger drew them
aside. "I overheard what you mugs
were saying," he said confidentially,
"and you are making, a very grave
mistake. This lawn -tennis is quite
different from horse racing or box -
fighting and other regular sports.
The players always seem to be lev-
elling, although for what reason I
do not understand, and they always
rte st ietly to form. For your own
good I'm telling you that eight to

one shots simply do not come off
at lawn -tennis."
* *
So Hank and Moe thanked the
stranger and kept their dough in
their pockets; which was just as
well because Hellman simply romp-
ed away with the match, winning
as though he should have been
about one -to -a -hundred instead of a
mere one -to -ten shot.
All of which is simply an intro-
duction to saying that, in times like
these, miracles can happen any-
where, even in lawn -tennis. It is
quite true that what is known as
form" in that game is probably
more scientifically calculated than
in any other line of sport. Time after
time, year after year, as they come
down to the wire you will see the
favorites—the boys that the dopes -
ten said should come out on top—
battling at the finish,
* * *
So if, before the United States
national championships at Forest
Hills, anybody had even predicted
that a couple of guys named Gon-
zales and Sturgess would be the fi-
nalists, the chances are that he
would have been put in a straight
jacket. Gonzales was thought so
little of that he was only rated as
seventeenth on the American men's
list. Sturgess was just a 28 -year old
nobody from South Africa—a eon-
tinent that had never even provided
a semi-finalist—and' who was con-
sidered to be playing merely for ex-
ercise, And entered in the tourna-
ment were such top-notchers ers as
Frankie Parker, Jaroslav Drobny,
Bob Falkenberg and a whole bunch
snore of -star-spangled wizards,
* *
Yet when the smoke had cleared
away, that was the setup. All the
others had fallen by the wayside and
only, Pancho. Gonzales. and. Eric
Sturgess were left to do their stuff
before a bunch of tennis fans so
dazed that they could hardly believe
their own eyes, It was just about
the most amazing upset in sports
history since the days of the Chi-
cago Black Sox -only this time it
was strictly on the level. We think
we'd better.go shopping around and
find out what sort of a price we can
get on a parley of Chicago Hawks
to win the hockey title and the St
Louis Browns to win the 1949 Am-
erican League championship! After
what took place at Forest Hills
nothing's going to surprise us any
more!
Town in Ontario
Has Disappeared
Few mysteries touch the imagina-
tion more than the mystery of a
vanished town. There are the anci-
ent towns mentioned in the Scrip-
tures, some of which were lost for
ages until the spade of the arehae-
ologist brought them to light, and
others which remain tothis day
undiscovered. There is the "Lost
Atlantis"—the great city of the clas-
sical world which is said to have
sunk below the surface of the sea.
and 'vanished from human sight,
There are the ancient towns men-
tioned in the Doomsday Book of old
England, some of which cannot
now be identified, and some of
which stood on land that the sea
has since eaten away.,
But lost towns and cities seem to
be things of the Old World, which
time, in the slow worlc of centuries,
has buried away: But the New
World has its vanished town also.
Its name is Anstruther and it was
located somewhere in the Province
of Ontario. Irish solicitors, wishing
to settle an Irish estate, are now
looking for the descendants of a
certain Irish gentleman who died
at Anstruther in Ontario in the
1860s.
No one, however,_ has been able
to find out where Anstruther stood.
Even the Canadian Geographical
Society, with its stores and records
of historical'gore'1'}las been appealed
to for 'an'a sn tier. But no answer
can be given. .
The -mystery is -intriguing. Pos-
8ibly an attempt was made to found
a town of that name in some dis-
trict in which a town could not be
supported, and the settlement was
abandoned, and its few wooden
houses fell to ruin long ago,
Whatever the answer, Anstruther
has dissolved and faded, leaving
not a trace. Here in the New World,
in the space ofonlysome 80 years,
time has been able to work one of
its impenetrable mysteries.
The Forgotten Man
If there is a forgotten man in this
country, whom the writers of politi-
cal platforms have overlooked, he is
the man who would like to achieve
security through his own efforts,
says a4Montreal Gazette editorial.
The political programs are gener-
ous in their promises of what the
State will do for the individual citi-
zen. The State will offer to care for
him, perhaps even from his cradle
to his grave. But for the self-reliant
person, who would like to have an
enlarged opportunity to care for
himself by having more of his.
money left to himself by the Gov-
ernment after its spending and
taxing activities, little is said.
The true test of a Government's
or a party's policy is who is encour-
aged by it. If the spirit of self
reliance gets all the rebuffs and the
burdens, and the spirit of submission
all the benefits and promises, the
wrong road has been taken.
The forgotten man, who wants
security for his self-reliance, is nei-
ther an eccentric nor a nuisance. He
holds the key to the problem of pre
duction. And for every government
party and country, that is the funda-
mental problem.
Deal Us a Winner
A professional cardsharp spent a
day at the race track and lost every
nickel he had in the world. "Before
I come out here again," he told him-
self, "I'm going to learn how to
shuffle horses."

Breaking it Gently
Ginsberg had a remarkable run of
luck in a dice game one day and
piled up $3000 in winnings. He went
to the well once too often, howevea,
shot the whole $3000, and lost. The
shock was so great that he prompt-
ly died of heart failure. His friend
Solomon was designated to break
the- sad tidings to Mrs. Ginsberg.
He found her baking a strudel in the
kitchen.
"Your husband was in a little
crap game this afternoon, Mrs.
Ginsberg," he said diffidently by
way of a start.
"The loafer," said Mrs. Ginsberg,
continuing with her baking.
"He was ahead $3000," continued
Solomon, "but he bet it all at one
time and got cleaned out."
"$30001" screamed Mrs. Ginsberg,
now thoroughly aroused. "He
should drop dead."
Solomon nodded gravely. "He
did. Good day, Mrs. Ginsberg."
