4 • Great Britain
Good news from anywhere these
days is a rather scarce commodity.
But outside of the threat of becom-
ing involved in another war - a
threat which hangs over most of
the world -the news from Britain
le; on the whole, heartening.
Judged by Canadian standards
rife over there is still a rather grim
affair; but signs are not lacking to
indicate • that what one American
correspondent termed "the deep,
enduring strength of Great Britain"
is still a power to be reckoned with,
and that the Mother Country still
continues sturdily along the path to
recovery.
For example, by the end of this
year it is expected that every house
M London destroyed in the war will
have been replaced. When you con-
sider that some 100,000 dwellings in
the London civil defense area were
wiped out—in addition to 1,650,000
damaged — you realize that the
building trades have not been exact-
ly lying down on the job. In mak-
ing this announcement the Minister
of Health also said that by the end
of October Britain will have reach-
ed its first postwar housing target
of 750,000 permanent and tempor-
ary homes—no mean target. Hous-
ing still remains one of Britain's
great domestic needs and there is
a shortage of both timberand cem-
ent; but in spite of this they seem to
be making real progress.
The aircraft industry appears to
be on its toes as well. The failure
of the costly "Tudor 2" airliner
project in July was a keen disap-
pointment to the air -minded, but
it has been greatly softened by -the
latest announcements. Within the
space of a single week Britain
learned that the industry had built
end put into the air the first four -
engined jet flying win •
the first
gas -turbine airliner, the Brabazon;
also a new high-speed 40 -seater
land plane, the Hermes 4, which is
expected to reduce empire flying
schedules by days. "By the early
1950's," predicts George Strauss,
Minister of Supply, "I am confident
that we shall lead the world."
In the district around Coventry
assembly lines continue to pour out
automobiles and other vehicles and
trains of flatcars loaded with noth-
ing but tractors flash along the rail-
way lines bound for export ports.
In Leeds there are big signs ap-
pealing for more weavers and spin-
ners to get into the woollen indust-
ry. "Come on Yorkshire," some
of those signs read.
These are only a few of the many
indications that Great Britain is by
sic means sitting idly by and pity-
ing herself. To quote again from
the same United States correspon-
dent, "These are the people who
built an empire on which the sun
never set. They are producing now
at higher -than -prewar figures, al-
though with world prices set again-
st them their import needs are still
imperative."
Some Sound Advice
For C.C.F. Leader
Speaking at Merrickville some
weeks ago CCF leader M. J.CoId-
well said that a society founded on
the profit motive could not be res-
onclled with the Christian teaching
laud ethics. The Canadian Country-
man makes this sharp reply:
"In making this statement -Mr.
Coldwell did something that was
W $
wrong ... We hope we are mis-
taken, but it aeems to as that Mr.
Coldwelt was attempting to claim
that God was on his side—on the
side of Socialists as opposed to
those who do not believe in social-
fem. That Is going too far, much
too far, even for the Ieader of a
political party."
The Canadian Countryman goes
on to say that it finds Mr. Cold -
well's holier-than-thou attitude "re-
pulsive and repelling," and that it
finds "abhorrent" the tactics of
Socialists in "setting class against
glass." It concludes:
"If Mr. Coldwell wants to serve
Dili peoplg pf this country faithfully
and well, he will renounce his fool-
Joh ideals and ideas, which played
a large part in bringing tyranny
to the German and Russian people,
*nd are retarding recovery in Brit-
ain today, and he will Iaurich a cam-
paign to prevent people, whether
they are industrialists, groups of
wage-earners, or farmers, from
wrecking the private' enterprise sys-
tem to serve their own immediate
selfish ends."
Well to have this said, and espec-
ially from such a quarter.
Just For Fun
Strange!
During the filming of s com-
edy, the director wished to get
the effect of water being poured
0117t of a barrel on to some boards.
They tried peas on oiled paper,
and that wasn't it; they tried
dropping pins on a taut square•
of silk, and that wasn't it,
Finally a quiet follow who was
standing by said "Suppose you
try pouring water outof a barrel
on to some boards."
They tried it. That was it.
We Could Use Several More Like It—This is an over-all view of Hydro's newest generating
station on the Madawaska River near Arnprior. Generating 80,000 horsepower it will give
Southern Ontario's power a much needed '`shot in the arm.''—but not nearly enough to do away
with the need for extreme economy in use of electricity for some time to come.

Now the title of this might be
either "Revenge Is Sweet" or
"Don't Go Calling People Names"
and it deals principally with a gent
tagged Joe Gordon, whose name
you may have noticed several times
this past season in connection with
the Cleveland Indians baseball. club.
* *
When baseball folks get to fan-
ning about great second sackers
they generally settle on Larry La -
joie and Eddie Collins as being the
ail -time tops, although we have al-
ways had a sneaking feeling that
Charlie Gehringer belonged right up
there too. He may have lacked some
of the color of the other two, being
a quiet, self-effacing sort of a char-
acter. But he was s ball -players'
ball -player, make no mistake about
that, and they don't come any better.
* * *
Another that history will prob-
ably also place in the sante class is
Joe Gordon, for many years one of
the real reasons for the New York
Yankees being always there or
thereabouts when they were dishing
out the playoff gravy. Yet if a
ffennel-mouthed gent by the name
Lelgnd Stanford /McPhail had re-
frained from his lavorlte pastime
of popping off, Gordon might well
by now have been one of baseball's
forgotten amen.
* e *
For just a couple of years.ago Joe
Gordon appeared to be definitely
through. Spiked hr the hand during
the spring t4aining trip following his.
discharge from the Navy, and de-
veloping a very painful charlie-horse
in his lege, he,was only a shadow of
bio former self. Nothing but his
fighting spirit kept him going at all.
Thenuppopped the aforesaid Mc-
Phail.
* * *
Even in a sport where showoffs
and headline hunters are by no
means rare, Mr. McPhail—until he
left baseball for baseball's good—
had a reputation that was by no
means enviable. In fact there used
to be a little ditty which might have
been written especially for him, run-
ning something like this: "I love its
*toady murmur. I love its rushing
flow, I love to wind my mouth up,
And I love to watch it go."
* *
So when Joe Gordon was struggl-
ing along during the early part of
the 1948 season McPhail called him
—together with Manager Bill Dick-
ey -into the front office. Then he
told Joe—in the choice language
which MCPail was noted for—that
the second baseman was a quitter
and several other 'unpleasant things,
and ordered Dickey to remove him
from the Yankee lineup forthwith, if
not sooner.
* * *
What followed must have bean,
according to those who should
know, a real honey of a scene. Gor-

don was only restrained by main
strength from socking the Yank-
ees' principal owner on the nose.
Bill Dickey told him that if he—
McPhail—didn't like the way things
were being run he could go straight
to Helsinki, or words to'that effect,
and the fat was in the fire.
All season long Gordon struggled
against handicaps both physical and
mental but without a great deal of
success. His batting average drop-
ped to a paltry .210 and he wasn't
covering anything like the amount
of ground he formerly had done,
He was 31 years old, which Is get-
ting well along in life for a major
league ball player. And when he
was traded to the Cleveland Indiana
for ,Allie Reynolds, Yankee fans
-in general shook their heads and
said, "Poor Joe, it isn't what you
used to be but what you are today."
* * *
But that cry of "quitter" was still
rankling in Jqe Gordon's heart. In
his very first appearance at Yankee
Stadium in 1947 he walked twice, hit
two singles and a home run—pract-
ically beating his old teammates all
by his lonesome. And as he neared
the clubhouse after the game was
over he was heard.to say, "I only
hope Old Liver Lips was watching
that one."—that being hie polite way
of referring to his former employ-
er, McPhail,,
* * * .
And Joe Gordon—two years ago
a washed-up has-been—has gone
right on from there, Nobody—not
even Lou Beaudreau—has done

more to keep the Indians in the Am-
erican Leaugue hunt, In the 1948
campaign he batted in something
like 125 runs, including 32 homers,
—a great many of the latter corning
right in the pinch, when they were
most -needed.
• * *
Back in 1942''Joe Gordon was
voted the most valuable player in
the league. He may not make it
this year, but he won't be far off it
And while there's still a steely glit-
ter in his eyes when anybody men-
tions the name of Larry McPhail—
the chances are that he actually
owes the loud -mouthed one a real
debt of gratitude.
* k s '
For if the°Itaging Redhead hadn't
called Joe Gordon a quitter who
knows what might have happened?
Chances are that the New York
Yankees might have taken it all, and
that the Indians would have been
just another ball club, lacking the
spark -plug that kept them going
when the going was tough. "Re-
venge Is Sweet" all right, and we
can't help sort of wondering just
what Larry McPhail thinks about
the whole affair:
