Canadian Boy Scouts, 35 in all, hada fine time in the U.K. enjoying the sights prior to ttavleling to France to. attend
world jamboree. Boys arrived on Canadian aircraft carrier H, M: C.S. Warrior, moved on to Loudon where you see
them by Victoria monument with Buckingham Palace in background. Overnight stay was on famous "Discovery.”
What About Those
Veterans' Schools?
Government, industry' and or-
ganized Labor face an important
decision on the future of Can-
ada's three-year-old chain. of Vet -
trans' technical schools, com-
ments the Financial Post.
Do we close these well-equip-
ped training centres for turning
out skilled workers and craftsmen
of -many essential varieties?
Why not continue them as nu-
cleus of Canada's first permanent
system of training workers?
* * *
One reason for indifference of
youth to technical vocations has
been lack of training facilities. The
present vocational high schools
can do only a little part of this
big and broad job. And the per-
iodic school and shop courses
available to trade and industry ap-
prentices so far represent little
more than a snake -shift.
In - the "temporary" rehab
schools enrollment of Veterans
is nearing the vanishing point.
Ontario's Central school at Tor-
onto, for example, now has only
1,800 trainees, as against nearly
0,200 a year ago.
These schools were established,
mostly in 1944, by the Provinces
under Ottawa's Vocational Train-
ing Co-ordination Act of 1942,
with Dominion grants and the co-
operation of industry in about 60
trades.
* * *
Though the present setup has
been labelled temporary and nem-
civilian, the Dominion legislation.
under which it operates, and the
premises, equipment and staffs or-
ganized to train veterans, are
available as permanent establish-
ment, Industry and the nation
need such an establishment and
will continue to need it for many
years to come.
At least let's not have these
schools closed up and their staffs
dismissed and tiheir extensive
equipment dispersed ,before a
careful study has been madg to
see how they could be incorporated
into our permanent educationl
system,
Soil -less Vegetables
Grown for Soldiers
In Occupied Japan
Soil -less gardening is producing
tomatoes, lettuce and other fresh
things to eat by millions of
pounds for garrisons and occupa-
tion forces in Japan and other far
islands.
An Army Quartermaster. Corps
survey shows that the expected
green -vegetable crops from all
hydroponic installations will
amount to more than 3,582,000
pounds, Never before has this
type of gardening been undertaken
on suchh a scale.
Soil -less gardening was resorted
to originally on islands because
Allied 'soldiers liked fresh salad
vegetables and there was no soil
in which to grow them. It is be-
ing conducted in Japan and China
because Oriental agricultural prac-
tices make it unsafe to eat any-
thing raw, .
The type adopted 'by the Army
is known as gravel culture. Long
shallot troughs of concrete or
asphalt are 'filled with fine washed
gravel, volcanic cinder or other
inert material. Plants with their
roots supported in this arc water-
ed at regular intervals with t solu-
tion containing fertilizer salts in
a balanced formula.

Sports — And One Thing
or An then
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
Among sports fans more money is
lost through wishful thinking—bet-
ting on sentiment rather than reason
—than for any other cause, We
have already told of the young lady
who wagered $10 on Billy Conn, not
because she thought he had a ghost
of a chance against Joe Louis, but
because "she believed in backing the
white man 'every time". Something
rather similar cropped up just before
the recent Canadian Amateur Golf
final between Frank Stranaban and
Bill Eyinicki.
* *
Gathered in a certain spot were a
group of the type that like to have
a wager on—well, most anything.
Several of then) told us they were
going to back the Maple Leaf for-
ward to turn back the American.
invader; their reasons—well, because
"he's a good game guy"—"there isn't
a quitting bone in his body"—"he'll
be in there battling no matter how
tough the going is"—and so forth.
* * *
Just theft in walked one of the
shrewdest gamblers we know, and
we asked hitt privately how, he felt
about it. "I've go a 12 year old kid
who is pretty speedy ou her feet "
he said. "Against any girl her age.
I'd probably back her to the limit.
But put her in with somebody like
Jesse Owens—well, what, do you
think? I'd like to see Ezinicki win.
He's a grand guy and will be a great
golfer in a couple of years. But this
Stranalmn's a great golfer right now
—and although I privately hope be
busts a kg, I've just got to het on
him." Final result-Stranahan 6
and 5. AMORAL—although senti-
tncnt andbusiness canbe mixed, it's
seldom a profitable process..
* 'n *
We have a friend who has his own
way of cheering himself when the
press and airwaves are hiller than
usual of warnings of coming dis-
aster. In his cellar he has (7 pile con-
taining yeas of old READERS
DIGESTS and similar magazines.
"I just grab myself n frit' of those
back numbers," he r: -plains, "and
read some of the predictions the
world's greatest minds were nuking,
both before the tear and while the
war was ot: Then I say to myself,
"Buddy, if alt those hot shots cottid
be so far astray then, they can be
fist as wrong again.' Then I feel a
whole heap better."
* * *
Most football fans are, prettylulich
disgusted with the outcry against
the Hamilton Tigers including
Frank rilehock in tiler lineup. This
beef isn't because of Mr. File/lock
having played openly professional
south of the border. That would be
a bit too much, even for a football
promoter, seeing that everybody who
-has ceased to' believe in Santa Claus.
suspects that fete present-day foot
bailers, except when there is nothing
else to play for, perform for sheer
love of the sport.
* *
But rilchock, they say, was mixed
up in an attempted "fix"; and
although be did everything but push
the grandstand over the line in his
efforts to win the gain in question,
and despite the fact that he was
frankly suspended for the same rea-
sti.s the King of France used,to lop
off rebels' heads—"to encourage the
others'—he might, Heaven help us,
give Canadian football a bad name."
* fi
Our own best advice to a lot of
football promoters, coaches and exe-
cutives is that they should go take a
good look in their mirrors, and then
resolve e to try and act their age, Cou-
sidcring khat they have been getting
away with, under the guise of
"amateur sport,", for a number of
years past, they can ill afford to point
the finger of score at anybody like
Mr. lrilchock, 11 •ho we hope will play
here, and receive a warn) welcome
from all decent -minded spectators.
*. * *
Reports of .the big Highland festi-
val in Fergus have reminded 115 of
one of our favorite Scottish stories
—that of an old couple who lived i1)
that beautiful neighborhood long,
long ago. (For fear of reprisals
wc'1l roll them the .ifcRays, although
/hat wasn't their name.) The wife,
although they had uvea together
happily for many years, had never
forgotten that she, a 11feGregor, had
in a measure-2eel1, condescended
juste bit in allying herself to a lnrre
11lrli ay.
* * *
Count a time when the old lady
thought she was dying; and as her
husband sat at her bedside she began
to ./have visions. "Before long P!l
be in the Blessed Land," she said.
"Soon P1! be 51101)g all any loved
Ones that have gone before—my
dear old mother, my ,Tainted father,
7n1' Aunt Bessie, any Uncle--"
• * *
Ai this point the faithful husband
interrupted. "Yell be seeing 50711e of
my folk too, Jean," he said. "When
you get there t'e'll doubtless be meet-
ing sone of the tllrRays, as well."
The old lady opened her eyes and
gazed upon him sternly. "John," she
said, "ye're very much mistaken if
yot1 think P1l have )nothing better to
dowith my, time that go scorching
the $11 11118 of !leaven looking for the
111cRass.'"
* * *
Muth depends on one's point of
view; and we never cease wondering
what widely varying viewpoints
some people can take of almost
identical cases. Just the other clay
we talked with a man who is a
white-hot hockey addict, but only
mildly interested in baseball. He was
sounding off on the injustice of
Happy Chandler's ruling against
Feller and other baseball stars play-
ing down in Cuba after the regular
season is over. "Slavery" was one of
the mildest terms he used.
e: * 4'
"Just supposing," we said, "that'
there was 'l league -over in Europe
or out in California or some -place—
that played hockey all summer. And
suppose that boys like Richard of
Canadiens and Meeker of Toronto,
for instance, got nice offers to take
part. Do )'ou think they should be
allowed to do so?"
* * *
"Absolutely not," was the prompt
reply. "After all a guy has just a cer-
tain amount of hockey in his systeni,
and the Leafs and Canadiens man-
agements would be crazy to allow
their stars to burn tllemseives out
lila that!"
Soviet Releases
War Prisoners
Unfit for Work
All Lerman prisoners of war
returning from Russia into the
United States occupation zone of
Germany are in such poor physi-
cal condition that they are unfit
for work and many may never
be able to work again, according
to a report of the American Milit-
ary Government,
Rehabilitation to make many
of thelia fit for employment re.
quires from three to six 'months'
care in camps on extra food ra-
tions provided from foreign re-
lief supplies, au official report
added.
* * *
The report's 10 -line account
was believed to be AMG's first
official continent on the physical
state of German prisoners, now
heing released by the Russians at
an accelerated rate after two
years or more of labor. 'There
have, however, been frequent
published charges by Germans
that the Russians released only
prisoners no longer able to work.
The Military Government re-
port said about 1,500 POW's were
arriving weekly in the- United
States zoite from the Soviet
Union, a rate expected to col
time until December. The report
continued:
"All those being returned are
unfit for employment, but less
than 10 per cent are actually hos-
pitalized after they reach the
United States zone. They are
placed in reception camps at IIers-
feld in Hesse, Uim ill Wuerttem-
berg-Baden and Hof in Bavaria,
where care is provided until fatu-
ities can call for the leen or other
plats can be made.
* * *
"In the camps the men are
given a 2,600 -calorie diet daily,
with higher diets for those who
are hospitaiiced. (This is at least
twice the ration which ordinary
civilians have drawn in the west-
ern zones for several months.)
"The released prisoners are
clothed and fed from foreign re-
lief suppiics, The percentage of
returning prisoners of war is 1tot
known, but all will need three
to six months care before they can..
be given employment,"
Dive for Safety
Unless you can dive, when you go
in for a swirl, you should certainly
hold your nose as you take to the
water feet -,first for water forced
ftp into the nostrils can, carry in-
fection to nose, throat and sinuses.
Man isn't like the duck, which can
close its nostrils under water. And,
unlike the duck, human beings
haven't that special eyelid which pro-
tects the eyes under water, so swim-
mers should fry tosec when sub-
merged as rarely as possible.

Unsinkable Lifeboat
When the Titanic sank in April,
1912, a boy was inspired to ex-
periment with milk -cans to pro-
duce an unsinkable lifeboat.
IIe has continued his work for
35 years, and the principle he dis-
covered is incorporated in a life-
boat now being built at King's
Lynn, Norfolk, England.
Now this inventor, son of an
inventor, Harold R. Gaskin of
London, plaits to sail the life-
boat in the Atlantic. The boat will
be taken half -way by ship,
launched; and left to complete the
rent aining 1,500 miles to New
York under its otvn power.
