IN T1U WORLD %yNormanBlaw Russia Something about working con- ditions in Russia has been learned from German women who have been :interned in the Soviet' Union for the past three or four years and who have just arrived in their homeland. They are mostly women who were, living in eastern Germany be- fore the war and most of them appeared fairly well-fed on their arrival at a German transit camp, They gave a vivid description of having to do heavy work, such as mining and bricklaying trader Rus- aian taskmasters. One woman told of having. been forced" to leave her three children and go with a trans- port of some 800 women to Bredy In the southern Ural mountains.. • There she worked ie a mine and later as a bricklayer. She was supposed to receive 800 rubles per month, but never saw any of the money because of deductions for "'ino,iranee, lodging, meals". • nAs a matter of fact," she said, "when I left the Russians told me I owed them 200 rubles for un- paid expenses." $he also told of how, each day at the mines, she had to descend and climb nine ladders, each of them about 45 feet long. The foremen were also Germans. On the whole, she said, the Russian civilians were friendly to the Germans, Japan Soon after United States troops occupied Japan in 1945 IIideki Tojo. the Premier, tried to commit suicide. Found at his villa he made what he thought was a dying state- ment. declaring that he took full responsibility for the war. Now he probably wishes he hadn't said any such tiring for Tojc lived to go on trial - with 27 other Japanese war leaders - befcre. an eleven -nation Interna- tional Tribunal. Tejo was known as "The Razor" and was cold, sharp and • ruthless. "I dielike talking," he said on be- coming Premier."I will make my policies clear by enforcing them." He was the mail who unleashed the Etta& on Pearl Harbor and for four years directed the Japanese war effort. The trial began two years ago last April. In July of this year the 3i judges reached their decisions, but the 2000 -page verdict was kept secret while a Japanese translation 'was made. Early in November Sir William Webb, the Australian Chief Justice, started reading the judg- ment. The reading lasted five days, and the defendanel sat frozen -faced throughout. Finally, as one at a time the defendants rose and, with an escort of military police, wa.lked to the prisoner's box, Sir William, read the sentences. Tojo was sen'lnced to death by hanging. Six others were also condemned to death. Sixteen drew life imprisonment. Two got seven years. Thi trial, like the one at Nurem- berg, Germany, has given the world a new concept of international law. Under this law the leaders of an aggressor nation can be - and have been .- held accountable for their and their nation's acts and punished as common criminals. Mr. Tojo is probably feeling like the man who, before being sentenced to hanging, was asked by the Judge if he had. anything to say. "Well, judge," he answered, "this is certainly going to he a lesson to me." United States It's no secret to anyone that just about the heaviest losers in the Truman presidential upset were the rational' public opinion polls such as Gallup, Roper and Crossley President Truman's "red-faced poll- sters". From all sides have come Wong criticisms of these polls and one Congressman - a Republican - has threatened to introduce a bill at the next aession that would deny the use of the mails to elec- tion polls. The polling agencies themselves :have naturally been frankly worried as to whether or not they'd be able to live down their "boner" and continue in business. It was reported a week ago that at least one of the "Big three' had optimistic views about staying in the game. This was the Roper out- fit which does about ninety per cent, of its work in stock market re- search, not public opinion polling. Asked whether he expected to lose customers because of his off -the - target election forecast Elmo Roper, head man of the agency said "I can partially answer that question, but not conclusively. There are still some don't know votes". Roper went on to Say that eleven of his twelve most important clients had indicated that they'd ['tick with :him. ` "We are firing no one," he concluded, "are cutting no salaries and have just renewed our lease". But it will undoubtedly be a long tune before the pollsters no longer show the effects of the black eye they received on November .end. And there are few who are express- ing any sympathy for them. They, were just a bit too cocky and sure - forgetting that men, as well as women, have the-privileYe of cluing- ing their mild. Rough Work at Montreal -A recent game between Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Black Hawks was livened ,up by arguments, fisticuffs and accidents all through the piece. This pic- ture was taken just after Ijeflny Reardon had bowled over, Doug Bentley of The Hawks, and it took a while .before the latter was sufficiently revived to continue playing. Bentley -seen stretched on the ice -apparently bit his head in the fall. Looking on are George Robertson of Canadiens and Chicago players Bill•Gadsby, Ralph Nattrass and Bill Mosienko. Official is Sibby Mundey. You can become a "forgotten man" in sport almost as quickly as you can in polities - remember a chap called Tom Dewey? - and it seemed strange to see the name of Bill Terry in the sports columns once again, although it isn't so long since he was one of the most prominent figures appearing therein. Large William is coming out of retirement to do a spot of compli- mentary coaching for his old pal Bucky Walters next Spring, and it wouldn't be too surprising to see him managing some big league ball club again before too long. * * * • Any ineution of Terry is bound to recall one of the funniest incidents - although William didn't regard it as comical - ever to occur in baseball. It was an incident that would be wholly incredible if it hadn't been also tied in with the one and only Dizzy Dean, who had a habit of pulling unbelievable stunts with the greatest regularity. If you're already familiar with the yarn - well, there isn't much you can do about it, except skip it. * * * Anyway, there was a very im- portant game. coming up that -after- noon, and in the morning - or maybe it was the previous even- ing - somebody took Dizzy out to visit a bunch of kids at an Orphans' Home or some such. As he was leaving Dizzy asked the youngsters if there was anything in particular they wanted. * * '1 "Sure thing, Diz," one of the kids replied: "Strike out that big ham- and-egger Bill Terry - for us - and do it with the bases full." "No sooner said than done" replied Dizzy; although even he must have known that he was really promis- ing something hard, as Terry - at that time - was a very stout fellow with the war -club and especi- ally dangerous in a pinch. * * * It was a tight, hard-fought game, and the score was either- tied or the Cardinals were one run ahead -we've forgotten which - in a late inning. Dizzy, who was pitch- ing for the St. Louis outfit, seemed to weaken slightly, and two of the enemy got on base. IIughie Critz was the next man up, and drew a walk, And the next hitter was no- body else but the aforesaid Terry. * * * When Bill tools his stance Dizzy was seen to step from the pitchers' box and, after walking about half- way to the plate, made some remark to Terry. It wasn't till after the game was over that anybody learn- ed just what had been said. * * * When asked about it later, the Dizzy one explained. "Oh, I just says to him, "Bill I sure hate to do - tills; but I promised some kids that I'd fan you with the bases loaded:" That's why I walked little Hughie1"-- * * * If there was any justice in this world - if braggarts and boasters got their just deserts, as they doin the story books - Bill Terry would promptly have smacked one over the fence, to bust up the ball game. But fact is often vastly different from fiction. What actually hap- petted was that Dizzy went back to the rubber, and struck out Terry on exactly, three pitched balls - Bill not even :moving his bat off his shoulder for the third one. * * * "Bill sure didn't think I'd be •dumbnough to throw a fast one sight' down the middle with the cobalt two and, nothing," Dizzy chuckles when recalling the inci- dent. But I sure did fool him." * * .* • 'Now there are plently of experts who will tell you that Dizzy Dean was never as great a pitcher as Bobby Feller-, when Bobby was at tops. But, even if he" wasn't'- and there's plenty of room for argument = as a fan we'd rather have one .Dean than a carload of Fellers That's because, we like a little color with our sports - some- thing all too rare these days when most of our athletes seem to be about 90% business man and 10% player. * * * . . "Your life as a top -pooh athlete is short, so get all the dough you can while you're up there," may be a very fine motto to din into the cars of a youngster. But fol- lowing it dbesn't make for nearly as much fun from the spectator eagle as we got in the days when' a salary was just something you picked up at the end of the month - or failed to get if tifc team hap- pened to be broke and which you got rid of just as promptly as possible, Aluminum Foil Treatment Saves Lives of :turned A new treatment for severe burns has been tried with dramatic results. In fifty test cases aluminum foil was used, ad in forty-nine of them definite healing properties were. shown. ' The development of this treatment is of special interest to Canadians as the conductor of these experiments, which may mean an escape froth death for thousands of the yearly burn victims, was Dr, A, W. Fer- nier in the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto. He collaborated with two other Canadian doctors in a project financed by the Royal Canadian Air Force. One of Dr. Farmer's' cases was 'a deep second degree complete facial burn in a 15 -months -old child. Alu- minum foil was applied over the entire surface, including eyelids, which was then covered with heavy dressings, leaving an opening-- for the mouth. By the 10th day the burned surface was pink and heal- ing cleanly; no skin 'grafting was necessary. Other cases that Dr. Farmer treated successfully with the new method include: A four -and -a -half- year -old boy with deep second de- gree burns over 50 per cent of his body; a seven-year-old girl with sustained flame burns of third de- gree over 35 per cent of her body surface and second degree burns over 15 per cent. That aluminum foil can effect a cure in burn cases so severe that deathusuallyresults is borne out by the following case history. A Very Severe Case Frame Mihlan, an . Erie railroad fireman, was severely burned in a boiler explosion. His body was 70 per cent covered with second and third degree burns. Cases like that don't usually last long; about 40 .per cent coverage is ordinarily fatal. But today, -Mr. Mihlan is very much alive, and -even more incredible al- most entirely fret of scars from his harrowing experience. Rushed to the hospital, special foil was immediately sterilized and applied to Ivfihlan's body. Gauze was spread over the outside surface of the foil to serve as padding for pressure bandages used to keep the body frons discharging too much fluid through the burns. Within 20 minutes, Mihlan was so relieved, pain -killing drugs were dis- continued. By the sixth day he was out of danger. Skin grafts, often necessary for complete healing in severe burn cases, were found un- necessary. How Treatment Works Here's, how the foil treatment works: The foil is sterilized before using. The burned area on the pa- tient is washed with antiseptic de-' tergent and the loose dead skin is removed. The area is dried with cotton gauze acid the foil is then applied directly to the burned skin. The foil is covered with a layer of non-absorbent cotton wool to which in turn is applied a flannelette pres- sure bandage. The barn is redressed in 10 days. Dr: Irwin points out the alumin- um foil treatment is regarded strict- ly as a local treatment and in no way has changed the regular use of plasma, penicillin or sulfa prepar- ations. Further, it is applicable to heat burns, not acid or electrical. One big advantage of using alu- minum, he comments, is that it's readily available ip the desired size and thickness and is relatively cheap: With A Fork The college boy just hone for the holidays was very enthusiastic about the wonderful benefits of physical 'culture, He said to his father: - ' Just watch this exercise. To. develop the arms, I grasp the rod by one end and move it slowly from -right to left" "W e 1 1, well!" exclahned his father. "What won't science discov- er nexti If that rod had some tines on it you'd. be cleaning out the barn'' . FOLDING CHAIRS Suitable for Homes,.
