Vince tunny, columnist and
feature writer of the Montreal
Standard, in a re-
cent issue, blames
the radio for
crimes and.atroci-
ti.s committed by
the youth of our
country. He men-
tioned , the ` two
young men con-
nected with a
bank robbery at
. Pickering with wlhotu we had the
pleasure (?) of riding to court,
who.. were 'sentenced to seven years
in Kingston Pen, Mr, Lunny. fail-
ed to mention that every daily
newspaper in the country splashes
its front page with the most <grue-
some stories and pictures it can
find and this too, may give the
younger set some of the hair-reis-
ing ideas 'they get. However, Mr.
Lunny is a member of the Fourth
Estate and naturally he has his
limitations is hie remarks.
Free T -B Tests Great Stuff
Owing to the fact that many
towns and villages throughout On-
tario will receive the free T -B
tests campaign that is currently on
the go, we are asking for the co-
operation of everyone—especially
the teen-agers-to make these cam-
paigns a success. Most of the
adults realize how important this
free check-up is; but some of the
kids, thinking they are in perfect.
health, just don't bother. This
test may a guarantee that you
will have a future—be sure you heed
-the call when it comes.
Lucky Little Ladies, Youl
Two lucky little girls in the news
recently were Marjorie Norman of
Erindale and Judy Schopf of Owen
Sound. Marjorie, who is 18, won the
gate prize of a beautiful pony at
the Cooksville fall fair a few weeks
ago. Site will call him Jo -Jo and
says that she has wanted a pony
of her own since she was a little
girl. Judy defeated all contestants in
a beauty contest ,to win the title
"Miss Owen Sound". This event
was held at the annhal fall fair too.
Runners up were Owen Sound girls,
Jackie Ruck and Doreen Bye. All
these girls in their teens are well
known in their respective com-
munities and their popnlarity will
no doubt leap to greater heights
with the recent awards they have
won.
Good Listening
Now that fall is well on the way,
all the good winter programmes are
back on the air, In case you have
forgotten,- you will catch Phil Har-
ris Sundays at 7.80, Charlie Me.
Carthy at 8, Lux, Monday's at 9;
Bob Hope and Red Skelton on
Tuesday nights; Bing Crosby on
Wednesday and Al Jolson, Wayne
and Shuster and Abbot and Costel-
lo on Thursdays, Other big-time
radio shows will no doubt have
made their appearance by now, so
see your local paper.
TEEN -TOWN REPORTERS
Parry Sound—Audrey Harris—
We have a Friday-Nite Club
dance weekly and the majority of
the Hi crowd attends. Skating,
skiing and sleighing parties are
planned for the winter. We had
a school track and field meet in
late September. The school was
divided into four houses, each house
with aa executive, colours, cheers
and cheer leaders. The idea of the
house system is to increase conip-
tetion and also to make for good
sportsmanship, Marg IIowe and
George Ryder were senior champ-
ions and Isobel Makins and Cal
Nichols won the intermediate cups,
while Betty Sheridan and Jim. Dar-
lington carried away junior hon-
ours.
Rydal Bank—Gail Martens and
Isabel McLeod -We have been ap-
pointed correspondents to Teen -
Town Topics and will send in re-
ports. We are both students of
Bruce Inns Continuation School
and are interested in the activities
of teen-agers in the district.
Runnymede, "Village Club" --
Velma
Velma Davis - This is the third
Year of operation for the Village
Club. Last week we held a dance
and accomodated 310 people, while
dozens were turned away. We are
snaking plans for a larger building,
Runnymede Dramatic Society also
has big plans. They recently held a
social, when the student body en-
joyed several plays that were stud-
ent acted and student directed.
Thanks a Lot, Gang
Many thanks to all you kids, out
there who have been appointed as
correspondents for your town for
this column. The letters are starting
to roll in and we are trying to an-
swer thein all as soon es possible.
If we do not answer your requests
for a few days after receiving same,
please be patient and, ill the mean-
time, send along any news you can
think ofthat would be of interest.'
to teed -age readers.
He Caught It
Puffing and blowing, the cadet just
managed to jump into a carriage as
the train left the station.
The middle-aged man in the cor-
ner eyed him with scorn,
"When I was your age, my lad,"
lie said, "I could ren `a half mile
catch a train by the skin of my teeth,
and yet be fresh as a daisy"
"Yes, sir," gasped the young fel-
low, "but I missed this one at the
last station."

Sports And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic") it
The other day a friend, who is
not too athletically -minded, asked
us why it is that sports stuff com-
ing oyer the air sounds, as a rule,
rather more sickening than matter
appearing in print regarding the
same subject. As one who has
been guilty of a considerable a-
mount of material that has been
used in both these forms, the only
honest reply we could make was
that the reason, is exactly the same
as the one for the black cows eat-
ing more than the white ones—
there were far more of them.
* *
What our friend was mainly re-
ferring to was the broadcasts of
the last World's Series. So we
tried to explain to him that the
quantity of wordage those slaves
of the microphone had to turn out
would, if printed, probably fill a
whole newspaper. Such being the
case, it is surely only natural that
the chaff would outbulk the grain
by a considerable margin—a far
greater margin than if they could
boil their matter down to a column
or SO,
* * k
It seems that .every sports
broadcaster—and we do not know
of a single exception—is gripped
with a secret fear. He fears that
if he leaves even one split-second
of silence, all his listeners are
liable to take a runout powder on
him. And as we have said before,
he also appears to be mortally a-
fraid of coming right out and say-
ing that a contest is downright
lousy—even if everybody knows
it is—but seems to feel it his duty
to try and make you feel that you
are missing the thrill of your life
by not being present.
* * *
Why these things should be you
will have to ask somebody a lot
older—or anyway wiser—than we
are. Personally we thought that
the World's Series artists did a
pretty fair job, only slipping to
any painful extent in their incense -
spreading at the feet of High -
Commissioner Chandler for his
"master -mind" innovation of plac-
ing the couple of spare ;umpires
down on the foul lines, instead of
leaving them on the bench or in
the bull pens. However, as the
same Mr, Chandler has much to
say regarding who is to do the
broadcasting, possibly they caa be
forgiven, Human nature being what
it is,
1 * *
Once ;sport a time there was a
Strike Conciliator who got the war-
ring parties together end addressed
Mon something like this. "You both
say that you refuse to give in an
inch" he said, "so let's imagine that
this strike has been going on for six
months. You, the workers, have lost
a lot of wages and your families are
' really feeling the pinch. You, the
employers, are short a whole heap of
sales awl profits that are going to be
highly embarrassing to account for
when your stockholders are expect-
ing their dividends. So now that you
have all this firmly in your minds,
where do we go from here?" The
stirke was settled in half an hour
flat; but we had better explain that
this is a wholly imaginary case, such
peterile tactics being far too direct
and simple to be used in the upper
reaches of Capital and Labor rela-
tions,
Back there a piece we made re.
ference to some of the sports hal-
lyhoo which comes over the air,
and hinting that the perpetrators
of same—like the dame in the old
song—were really more to be piti-
ed than censured too harshly.
Now, with the hockey season bust-
ing .into full bloom, comes the
time when the sports writer wh,
is nine -tenths press agent and on
tenth reporter is seen at his be;
—or worst, if you like. And, lilt
his erring brethren of the air-
waves, for this type of writer it is
also possible to find excuses,
* * *
For he, too, has his bucket which
must be filled whether or not
bossy is brimming over with milk
or rapidly running dry. Besides,
possibly there are plenty of folk
who revel in knowing just what
color of eyes their latest hockey
hero possesses, and what tinge of
talcum he favors; in this busi-
ness, as in many others, the cus
tomer is alwars right,
a: * *
So we have hockey stars who
look and dress like moving picture
leading men, who know exactly
which knife to cat their pie with,
and who are much more at home
at a tea dance than in the back
room of Hennessey's Tavern. But
make no mistake about it, they
still suffer for the cause. That
gaudy sports shirt still covers a
multitude of abrasions, and plenty
of bruises still lurk underneath
that flowing, hand -painted cravat.
* * *
Still --it must be old age—more
and more as we look over the
papers we wonder whether we are
stilt on the sports page, or have
strayed into the Hollywood jot-
tings by mistake; and more and
more we find ourself yearning for
the days when lads like Sprague
Cleghorn, Bad Joe Hall or Scotty
Davidson would spit out a mouth -
full of teeth and continue on their
way without breaking stride, little
caring how their next photograph
would look or what effect such
marring of their manly beauty
would have on the volume of their
fan mail. Ho, hum! maybe it's the
weather; for even it appears to
have gone slightly haywire in this
definitely screwball -era.
Spray Keeps Fruit
Hanging on Trees
Freight trains, jammed to the
roof with boxes of B.C, apples are
leaving the bustling Okanagae1-
ley fruit -growing centre every 18
minutes bound for the fresh fruit
markets of the Prairies and the
United States.
Plagued by a shortage of pickers
and fearful that the apples alight
fall prematurely, many growers
for the past few weeks have been
experimenting with a hormone
spray that may revolutionize the
fr' ' industry.
A, T. Ilow+e, of Vernon, B.C., re-
putedly the owner of the largest
McIntosh orchard in the British
Empire, said the spray which is
scattered over the trees from a
helicopter "apparently is success-
ful" in making apples hang on
more tenaciously.
