HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1948-11-11, Page 6New Sort of Court Reporter—For the first time in Canada, evidence in a court case at. Galt,
Ontario, was mechanically recorded by the mechanical device seen on the desk above. A. W. A.
White (left) is seen testifying before Magistrate R. J. Poison. The words are recorded on .
magnetized tape and may be played back at any time. It is thought that such devices may
someday replace court reporters who take evidence in shorthand and later transcribe it.
Canada's Reds
Go Underground
Maybe we are only imagining
things, 'but it seems to us there
has been more beefing over the
quality—or lack of same—of our
football refereeing than ever be-
fore. Whether or not all this
squawking is justified it is not for
us to say, it being possible to cover
personally only a small percentage
of the games played; but we have
seen a few specimens of whistle -
tooting that seemed to be more than
s' bit off the beam.
* * *
Biggest trouble regarding modern
officals, it' appears to us, is that
they either aren't vested with suf-
ficient authority, or else haven't
a sufficient sense of that authority.
One of the best referees we ever
watched, in either football, hockey
or the boxing ring, was the late
Lon Marsh.
* * *
There's no doubt that Lou made
mistakes in his officiating -lots of
them, as he'd have been first to
admit. But when Marsh was doing
his stuff there never was the slight-
est doubt—among athletes, coaches,
managers or spectators—about who
was boss. He called them as he
saw them—called them without any
hesitation—and made his decisions
stick. * * *
In other words Lou acted more
like some of these high-class base-
ball umpires, who go into the game
knowing that they have supreme
authority — and also, something
which is even more important, the
knowledge that such authority will
be backed up to the limit by the
top brass. A good example of what
we mean was seen in the recent
World Series when it looked very
much as though Umpire Stewart
!miss -called one against Cleveland
on an attempted pick -off play at
second base. The Indians were un-
doubtedly were very hot and both-
ered over the matter, possibly
rightly so.
But when the game was over, and
there was speculation as to whether
or not they would protest on the
grounds of what the moving pic-
tures showed, Lou Beaudreau
settled it all in just a few words.
"The amps said the man was safe,
so that's what he was.
x * *
Getting back to the platter of foot-
ball refereeing, it seems to ue as if
some of the officials are just'a bit
slow in using their whistles on line
Works for Reds -- Dr. Kurt
I'laher, chief of the Interior
Department in Germany's Sov-
iet Zone, heads the drive to
organize a huge Russian -train-
ed "police force" in Eastern
Germany. The force, estimated
at up to 400,000 Germans, many

?Moscow's dtjl-.lation in the
event Big Four occupation
troops are withdrawn,
plays. As long as a ball carrier is
struggling to advance the pigskin
a few more inches, it's only natural
for opposing linemen to try and
atop that forward' movement.
* * *
And so we have those pile-up
plays, which result in so many in-
juries, some of them serious and
practically all of them unnecessary.
A referee of the Lou Marsh type
would call all the players together,
before the start of a game, and .
address them something like as fol-
lows;
* * *
"The second I see that the for-
ward motion of the ball has been
stopped I'm going to blow this
whistle—and any man I notice pil-
ing -on after it sounds will get a
nice rest in the hoose-gow prompt-
ly." Then we think he would have
added, "But the same thing goes
for you ball -carriers as well; and
if I catch any of you trying to
wiggle along the ground, or take
an extra step or so after the whistle,
will go off, pronto."
* e *
That wouldn't have been the
exact language Marsh would have
used. His verbiage would have been
a lot more pointed and less print-
able, no doubt. But he'd have got
the general idea across, and made
those decisions stick — and any
coach trying to tell him, perhaps,
that there wasn't any such rule in
the book, would have been told to
head for the sidelines and stay
there, where he belonged.
* * *
The coach would have gone—and
stayed there. For the same Mr.
Marsh could be a very rough and
tough customer on occasion, and
didn't back up from anybody, no
matter how big and rugged. As al-
ready stated, we saw him make
many decisions which we personally
couldn't agree with, and which we
argued with him about when the
game or fight was over.
* * *
But in all the events we saw
him handle—hundreds and hund-
reds of them—we never had any
misgivings about who was in charge,
which was a decided contrast with
some of the whistle-tooters of
modern days, too many of whom
act as though their chief interest
was in trying to please both sides,
and who allow far too much argu-
ment, especially on the part of
coaches and managers.
* * *
In fact, our idea of the ideal
sports setup would be to pass a
rule stating that all managers,
coaches and team -owners shall
from now on be permitted to
watch any game in 'which their
team is taking part only by means
of television.
New Artificial Hand
A remarkable new artificial hand
has been invented by f. H. Simpson,
a young Irish architect. Quite apart
from looking exceedingly life -like
the hand functions with all the dex-
terity of its human counterpart.
Made of wood and metal, it has
small rubber pads set on the inside
of fingers and thumb, that the hand
may grip firmly, and a larger pad
of rubber -sponge placed on the
palm. The controls are connected to
a shoulder brace which enables the
wearer, by an almost imperceptibfe
shrug of his shoulder or bf,ck to
grasp any object he wants, be it a
spade or a magazine, a glass tumb-
ler or a tennis ball,

ISSUE 46 — 1948
Canada's Communists are going
back underground. Those who know
about their activities say that at
least three quarters of their work
and at least the same proportion of
their members have always tried to
remain hidden and secret.
But now Communist policy has
changed. No longer are they mak-
ing public the names of members
elected to regional and other com-
mittees, boards, etc. Top level Com-
munists and LPP political candid-
ates will continue to operate, .at least
to some degree, in public. But the
order has gone out for `secrecy for
all the others.
What is the reason? Is Moscow
ordering its Fifth Column into posi-
tion for wartime service? Is there
fear that the party will again be out-
lawed soon?
Whatever the reason, Canadians
of every rank have been guilty of
helping the Communists because
they fail to recognize the serious-
ness and scope of the Communist
menace in this country. There's no
music sweeter to Communist ears
than the oft -heard comment from
people who should know better:
"All this stuff about the Reds is
mostly taut, just scare stuff."
Canadians would never talk that
way if they knew what is actually
going on in the Communist party.
The Financial Post has for
months been exposing Red activities
in icey industries where strikes and
other forms of disruption could
paralyze this country at the moment
Moscow wanted it paralyzed.
Reading Communist publications
available on hundreds of newsstands
would be a useful treatment for
those who "just don't believe it."
Live Longer And
Like Life Better
Geriatrics is the branch of med-
ical science which deals with the
causes and postponements of grow-
ing old, and a top expert in this
field has just issued a pamphlet en-
titled "Live Long and Like It."
which says, in part;
"The 60 -year -old -man of today is
often far more vigorous than his
father was at the same age.' He is
enjoying life and with zest and
confidence looking forward to much
more of it, Tomorrow - promises
even greater improvement"
He points out that this improve-
ment depends on people, particu-
larly those from 40 to 60, not lean•
ing everything to luck and nature,
and not waiting for sickness or pain
to get medical guidance.
Geriatrics provides a series of
complete physical examinations at
the beginning of the "course", fol-
lowed by a full health program, to
be carried out for six months or a
year, and reviewed at the end of
each period. Principal elements of
the long-term geriatrics program are
carefully prescribed excite and
diet.
Today a man of 60 may be as
young, vigorous and vital as the
average man of 40. On the other
hand, he may represent the com-
mon picture of the man of E+D, old,
wealc and miserable.
Blood Collection
Takes to the Air.
•
To the pilot and crew of the
Royal Canadian Air Force Dakota,
dropping down out of the skies at
Edmonton airport .recently, it was
simply the end of another routine
flight. To the fifteen passengers, it
was the conclusion of a brief ad-
venture. To the Canadian Red
Cross Society, the smooth landing
marked the successful completion of
the first airborn mission undertaken
by a mobile collection .team since.
the opening of the National Blood
Transfusion Service.
On board the aircraft, fifteen
members of the Red. Cross Blood
Transfusion Service, were returning
from .a blood donor cline held m
the sub -Arctic. They had completed
a 1,200 -mile trip to Yellowicnife in
th North West Territories, opening
a new frontier in the never-ending
quest for voluntary blood donors.
The flying mobile team had taken
to the air two days previously with
nearly 400 pounds of clinic equip-
ment. The journey. to Yellowknife
took a spare four hours, North
from the Alberta Border, the team.
was interested to see the rocky
wastelands still white with winter
and the great herds of caribou wan-
dering over the frozen lakes and
rivers.
Yet in scarcely more: than an in-
terval between meals, they had com-
pleted the Link between the old and
a new civilization — 620 air nmiles
from Edmonton, just 210 miles
south of the Arctic Circle,
In a day, 290 Yellowknife citizens
contributed their blood at the im-
provised clinic in the district school-
house. Brief hours later the 290
pints of blood were unloaded at Ed-
monton, rushed to the Depot, test-
ed, recorded and refrigerated, ready
to meet the instant need of any
hospital patient whose life may de-
pend upon it .
In China the major motor fuel is
alcohol made from rice and sugar
cane.
