Sp rts - And 0 e Thing
or
Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic").
• Right now, in honor of Princess
Elizabeth's forthcoming marriage,
people of various Canadian` corn-
nlunities are preparing to send over
donations of food to the ander-
nourished people of Britain. Then, in
just a few months, we propose to
ship a Whole bunch of hungry ath-
letes and their hangers-on over
there, to take part in a set of games
which the British—and the rest of
the world, for that matter — are
about as much in need of as they
need a third World War. If that
doesn't figure out as a screwball
proposition, any way you look at k,
at least it should serve tillthereal
thing comes along
Of course it will be argued that the
Canadian Olympic athletes will take
their own food along with them. To
that we reply, O.K.-send that food
to be eaten by folks who really need
it, and let our athletes stay at home.
* a' *
It is our personal opinion that the
British authorities have made a great
mistake in not calling the whole
thing off before this, as it puts them
in a false position—especially in the
United States—to be stressing their
need 'for Western World assistance
and, at the same time, preparing to
stage such an unnecessary and fool-
ish affair as the Olympics. But if
British pride won't allow them to
cancel the show, at least let us stay
out of it. Right after a family has
come through a combination fire
and earthquake isn't the time to go
paying them social visits, even if
they are close relatives.

The political orator was working
up towards liis peroration and, like
most of his tribe, using plenty of
oldies as though they were new -
tainted thoughts of his owls,.."After
all, viy friend.," he said, "nothing in
this world is absolutely certain, ex-
cept death and loxes." He paused to
wipe his fevered brow. "Oh, no?"

Gate receipts $6;972; expenses
$7,455; net loss $743—that's the re-
sult of a football game in Ottawa,
played fin, sweet charity's sake—for
the benefit of the crippled ohildren.
And it was between two amateur
teams, of course for We all know
that we pat'en't any such thing as
professional football in Canada.
* * y.
That's the way the whole sweet -
scented affair stands at this writing;
and it should be a warning to all
charitable organizations, too many
of whoin allow their names to be
tacked onto promotions put through
by gents who believe that Charity
.not only begins at hone,- bat also
.ends there. One of the teatns in-
volved got something between $4,500 -
and $5,000 out of it; which, even in
these days of highprices, would buy.
quite a lot of train fares, bandages
and liniment Alt we hope is 'that
the crippled kids won't be asked to
kick in to make up the deficit.

No matter how they try to smooth
it over or explain it away, we think
that the Ottawa Trojans and Mont-
real Alouettes have been guilty of a
vera grave mistake. It isn't so long
ago that there was serious talk of
taxing football •on a professional
basis, but the promoters of that sport
managed to wiggle through .without
getting nicked. But now with this
happening—and happening right in
the taxing authorities own back yard
—well, when the inevitable takes
place, they can console themselves
with the thought that they certainly
asked for its

report, the Toronto Maple Leaf

hand to—among others—such ama-
teur clubs as Toronto Marlboros,

Stamp Forgeries
Forged stamps which have hither-
to deceived even the experts are
liable to be exposed by a new X-ray
process developed by W. If, S. Chea -
vin, radiologist and distinguished
stamp collector, Details of his suc-
cessful experiments and applications
of low voltage X-rays for revealing
faked stamps were given at the
Philatelic Congress of Great Britain
held in Birmingham. The appara-
tus, which has already detected sev-
eral forgeries, should help to check
international .rackets in counterfeits,
as stamps now have acquired high
values in the black market,
archs; Oshawa Generals; as well as
one or more junior outfits in North-
ern Ontario.

This may be all very well if you
are one of the many to whom the
success or failure of the Maple
Leafs is all that really matters in the
sport of hockey. But if you were
just a sports -lover in a small town,
trying to keep the lads of your com-
munity interested in playing the
game, we very much fear that you
wouldn't look at it in exactly the
same light. In fact we think that,
sooner or later, you'd begin to
wonder if it wasn't pretty near time
for an entirely new deal for the
little, fellow not blessed with any
such wealthy and generous relatives.

191(0 a Toronto restaurant the
other day cane a Paan—at least he
had the outward appearance of a
man—who proceeded to put on an
amazing demonstration of sheer
gluttony. Mowing down the victuals
at record-breaking speed, he got
away with four full-si,ee meat or-
ders—each with regular complement
of vegetables on the side—and then
topped it off withnineseparate and
distinct desserts! Although trying to
appear oblivious of the stares of the
astonished specalors, he was obvi-
ously enjoying the sensation he
created. But he didn't linger long
after an old gentleman, who had
been watching the performance, ap-
proached. "If you're thinking of sell-
ing yourself any time, Mister," said
the old gent, "I'd advise your to do it
right away, as I don't think the price
of hogs will ever get higher!"
Queen Wilhelmina
Earns a Vacahhon.
For almost fifty years' Wilhelmina,
Princess of Orange, has been Queen
of the Netherlands, When she came
to the throne she, was a beautiful and
gracious child, still devoted to her
dolls;An equaldevotion to her
people in prosperity and trouble, in
peace and star has left her a tired
old woman,' weighed down with res-
ponsibility. None in' her own land
or any other will begrudge the rest
she now seeks in temporary retire-
ment from the burdens of state,
comments The New York Times.
• * * *
No woman -since Victoria of Eng-
land has left such a mark upon her
country. The great wind that swept
so many of Europe's monarchs into
futile exile left her untouched. Wil-
helniita, too, was in exile while the
black Nazi flood washed over Hol
lapid. But her strong voice reached
her subjects,' encouraging then to
resist. Two years ago she carte back
to a scene of devastation quietly,
modestly, but like a conquering he-
roine, more loved and venerated
than ever. She Was, and is, the
symbol or a people's hope.
* * *
The circumstances of her departure
are worth recalling. Before dawn on
May 10, 1%10, her unsuspecting
nation was wakened by the thund-
er of Hitler's gouts o1 the frontier,
the explosion of Nazi bombs in the
streets of its cities and the descent
of a swarm of German parachutists
around The Hague. Hitler's de-
sign was t, capture the Queen.
Her Ministers rushed to the royal
bell -chamber, begging her to fly
to safety. She flatly refused. For
five terrible days, while the
Duch killed the last of the
kidnapper paratroops, she sat in a
bomb cellar directing the national
defense. Only when it had become
hopeless would she consent to change
her quarters and only then to seek
refuge in her island province of
Zeeland. On a Dutch destroyer, wth
ler daughter and two grandchildren,
she headed there, to find it already
in German possession. Iu tears, the
Dutch Queen left her country for
England.
* * *
That is the spirit in which she has.
met every crisis. She has grown
more liberal with the times, never
stepping beyond her' constitutional
prerogatives but always excercising
them With firm will and high cour-
age, Troubles have not ceased. In-
donesia, which has her promise of
freedom, is still in turmoil. Now, at
67, she must rest while Princess Juli-
ana tastes over her duties. But
valiant is the word for Wilhelmina.
Quebec is Fifth
.Quebec continues to consolidate its
position of fifth largest city in Can-
ada, according to Municipal Archiv-
ist Valdre Dcsjardins' statistics for
1946-47, which reveal that the An-
cient Capital's population now stands
at 190,021• He estimates that the
city's citizens are increasing by at
least 3,000 souls a year. No fewer
than 175,437 of the population are
listed as French-Canadian; English -
Speaking Quebeckers, mostly Irish,
English, Scotch and Welsh, total 13,-

parcntly the three largest foreign
groups.
