The Seaforth News, 1949-10-06, Page 2"Pals, Dear Old Pals" --- Maybelle, the three -gaited mare,
puckers up for a kiss after Polly, the parrot, broke the sad news
that the two pals must soon part. They're fellow thespians,
members of the Railroad Fair, but soon they'll be auctioned off
for fess glamorous roles.
"There's nothing sure," according
to the old saying, "but death and
taxes." Maybe so. But 1 wouldn't
mind making a small wager that
there are at least a couple of things
almost as sure as the certainties in
the saying.
* e
First is that along about next
December, if you were to listen
carefully to your radio, you would
hear somebody singing "I'm Long-
ing for a White Christmas" or else
"Holy Night." Possibly both.
e
Second — that if you scanned
all the Farm Columns published
throughout the land, along about
this season you would find some
advice about how to store fruit and
vegetables for winter use. Now that
you've been warned, you can either
read on or take a second look at
our Fall Fair pictures. The advice
which follows is that of D. V.
Fisher, a Federal Department of
Agriculture specialist.
* * •
Freshness and flavour can be re-
tained, and wastage reduced to a
minimum by careful attention in
providing the correct temperature
and humidity conditions necessary
for good storage. A room that can
be held at approximately 40 degrees,
and at a relative humidity of 80 to
90 per cent provides generally satis-
factory storage for most fruit and
vegetables.
If the hom• eowner is fortunate
enough to have a cool frost -free
basement or a cool provision room,
he can store his winter supply of
potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips,
onions and apples with a minimum
of care. This room should prefer-
ably be insulated from the rest of
the house and placed on the north
side of the building with a window
which can be opened and closed.
* * *
The room should contain a ther-
mometer and in fall and spring
weather, the window opened at
night and cloned in the day time
to obtain the advantage of eool
night air. In the winter time the
window may be slightly opened or
kept entirely closed as required to
keep temperature from dropping be-
low about 38 deg. F, which is as
New fie potatoes should be stored.
* * *
Even with proper control of tem-
perature, commodities such as cab-
beige, carrots, beets, turnips and
apples culler severely from wilting
R not protected from low humidity.
The humidity of the storage room
can be maintained at a fairly satis-
factory level by keeping damp peat
moss or sawdust under a slatted
false floor.
* *
However, even under these con-
ditions carrots, turnips and beets
suffer from shrivelling and these
vegetables should be placed in boxes
and covered with slightly damp
sand or peat moss so as just to
cover the top layer. Stored in this
way, carrots may be removed in
fresh, bright turgid condition in
May. The window in -the storage
room should be darkened as much
as possible to prevent sprouting
and greening of potatoes, onions
and carrots.
* * *
For the city apartment family
who buy their vegetables only a
few days ahead of use, the refriger-
ator vegetable crisper should be
used freely to maintain freshness
of leafy vegetable. Carrots, beets,
turnips and cabbage should be left
M as cool a place as possible, and
enclosed in cellophane bags or
other fairly moisture proof con-
tainer to reduce shrivelling to a
minimum, Proper care of fresh
produce redoes waste and improves
palatability,
P.S.: I don't know what "Turgid"
means either, but that's what the
man said.
REAL SERVICE
A man boarded a train at New
York and told the porter: "Now,
porter, here's $5. I want you to
wake vie tomorrow morning and
yet me off this train at South Bend.
I sleep heavily, and Ill fight you
and tell you anything to go on
alseping, but get me off this train
at South Bend.
The porter thanked him and
promised bhe man he'd get hien off
at South Bend for sure. However,
the next day the man woke up in
Chicago, with South Bend far be-
hind. Ile stormed up to the porter,
who was talking to the conductor,
lead told him off in no uncertain
tetany before he wont to get a train
back to South Bend.
"My, that man was angry," said
the conductor.
"That nubbin'," said the porter.
"Yoe should of heard the man I
did put off at South Bend."

Cy A SLY lT'Cjl" LC
Three years ago Rocky Graziano
was banished—on account of various
delinquencies, misdemeanors and so
forth—from New York Rings. Fight
fans whose . memories travel back
that far will probably recall that, at
the time, it looked; very much as
though the banishment would be
permanent.
* * - *
For there wasn't the slightest
doubt that Rocky had been a bad,
bad boy. His record in war andin
peace, in the ring and out of it, was
—to put it mildly—pedicular. Ex-
cepting for one quality, Graziano
had about as much chance of ever
again appearing before a Manhattan
fight mob as—well, as Joe Stalin
has of being elected president of the
Canadian Manufacturers' Associa-
tion.
* * *
But that particular quality hap-
pened to be exactly the one which,
in the fight racket, covers all the
sins in the entire calendar. Rocky
Graziano could always draw the
cash customers in highly -paying
quantities; and what between a sue -
cession of -sour fights and an in-
creasing number of boxing bugs
who preferred to take the sport in
comfort, over the teleo waves, char-
acters trf his ilk were badly needed
▪ * *
So nobody at all familiar with the
screwy happenings of sportdom, es-
pecially the pugilistic section there-
of, was too greatly astounded when
the word came the, between Rocky
and the New York boxing solons,
all had been forgiven and forgotten.
(Perhaps "forgotten" is going a
trifle too far, We, personally, have a
suspicionthat if Rocky had failed
to draw agate, or given a poor ac-
count of himself, he might again
have found himself on the outside,
looking wistfully in.)
* * *
But this, like all proper sport talcs
—except a few that the late Ring
Lardner wrote—has a happy ending.
A week or so ago, as he strode ring -
wards in the Polo Grounds, his head
swung from aide to side, and his
beady black eyes seemed to be—and,
probably were—engaged hl the good
old custom of mentally "counting
the house."
What those eyes saw must have
been reassuring. For there were just
a few short of thirty-two thousand
sports lovers, and the shouts which
rang in his ears were, on the whole,
friendly. Thirty-two thousand are
a whole lot of people to attend a
non -title fight of any kind these
days—and that was what Rocky was
engaged in, his opponent Charlie
Fused belonging to another stratum
of boxing society, the welterweight
divi.inll.
Rocky's three years of exile hadn't
dewinded the balloon of his self-
eontidence to any noticeable degree.
"I'll take care of the salami in on*
round or less" was his boast, and
he tore out of his corner with a
scowl on his countenance as though
he expected Fusari to jump the
ropes from sheer fright.
* * *
Fuser!, however, just plain refus-
ed to scare. And for the biggest part
of the first nine rounds Mr. Graziano
looked as though he had forgotten
to pack his fighting ability along
with the self-confidence. Most of
bis swinge missed Fusari by at least
a foot; and once he lunged so
clumsily at his ahiftior opponent that
he fell fiat on his face,
* * *
All the while Fusari was doing a
neat job of pipkin;• on the Graziano
features, scoring with left jabs and
opening eye -cuts with solid right
bands, Going into the final round,
the officials' score cards showed
Fusari out in front and, in all prob-
ability, a decisive winner on points.
* * *
And then—well, either Fusari just
plain ran out of gas, or else Rocky
managed to get a refill from some-
where. Graziano, with his bleeding
mouth wide open in that old familiar
snarl kept boring in, hurting Fused
now, finally slaloming Charlie into
the ropes and clubbing him to the
floor.
* t'
Fusari gamely got up; but by now
Rocky had too much strength, He
kept Charlie trapped against the
ropes, wedged into a corner and—
according to some observers—liter-
ally choking him with one hand
while banging him unmercifully with
the other. (He might very well have
been disqualified— but somehow or
other, those crowd -drawers and
mob-pleasers don't appear to dis-
qualify as readily as less colorful
boxers.)
* 0 +:
So the fight was stopped, and
victory given to Graziano, with
fifty-six seconds ,still to go in the
tenth round. Rocky's reaction to
victory was typical of the- man,
"Don't I do a real job on them
welterweights?" he crowed -delight-
edly--completely overlooking the
fact that he, as a middleweight, had '
enjoyed a 12 pound edge in the ,
weights, and that it was the referee
that had stopped the fight, not he
that stopped Fusari.

Then later, when reporters asked
Rocky how he thought he would do
against a man his own size and
weight — Champion Jake LaMotta
for example, Graziano somehow or
other seemed to lose his cockiness.
"After all, me and Jake LaMotta is
good friends" was his reply. Just a
big, sweet, lovable kid—more sinned
against than sinning, is probably the
beet thumbnail description you could
dig up for Rocky Graziano, we sup-
pose, unless you had five seconds
or so to think up a better one.
* * *
But as we promised you earlier,
this is a proper fight tale, the kind
with a happy ending, Charlie Fusari
lost nothing, not even prestige,
through his defeat. Matter of fact
he'll probably be in line for better
bouts, more lucrative purses, be-
cause of his showing. And as for
our hero—well, Rocky Graziano is
in line for "the important dough"
once again. We haven't heard, as
yet, of any Hollywood studio ready-
ing a picture based on Rocky's life.
But, judgii g of the future by the
past, it shouldn't be long now.

to China to convince himself that
Metasequola, as the Dawn Red-
wood is known to scientists, thought
to have become extinct 20,000,000
years ago, is still thriving, He stu-
died the living trees in China's in-
