is entirely ]rade of sand, they still have to carry more sand to it. The reason is that the Miscou
sand is too salty for the manufacture of cement—and when construction is being done, salt-
less sand has to be shipped from Quebec City.This picture shows a load being towed by the
Government ship "Chesterfield" and is a scene from the National Film Board production

Sports — And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
While talking the other evening
with a friend who is a veteran foot-
ball referee—Yes, indeed, even ref-
erees have friends, although not many
—he came up with a rather interest-
ing suggestion. "Our educational
authorities," he said, "spend a lot of
time and money on these Sight. Sav-
ing and Sight Improvement Classes
for school children. I have an idea
that would get them far better and
quicker results, and at a big saving
too." Having nothing better to do at
the moment than listen, we told him
to go ahead.
* * *
"Back in the days of railroading
they used to have a saying that the
quickest way improve the breed of
cattle was to cross a cow with a
C.P.R. locomotive, No matter what
sort of animal it was to start with,
as soon as the claim for damages
went in it turned out to have been
a pure-bred bossy worth hundreds
of dollars," he said. 'And my plan
wduld work every bit as miraculous-
ly on the human eye." Although we
had a sneaking notion of what night
be coming, again we told him to pro -
(teed.
* * *
"I'd take every kid with weak eye-
sight," he continued, "snake a sports
writer out of. him, and give him a
card for the Press Box. That would
do the trick sure. For while lire
known plenty of you guys that write
about sport who can't normally rec-
ognize anything smaller than an ele-
phant at a distance of six feet, just
put you in a Press Coop and you
are immediately gifted with sight
better than Annie Oakley ever had,
and she could shoot all the spots out
of a ten of diamonds at hundred
yards."
* * *
He spoke rather bitterly, but we
think he had reason for his beef.
Rabid fans and players heated by the
excitement of the game may have,
some excuse for seeing things as
they would like them to he, rather
than the way they actually happen.
But when sports writers at a foot-
ball gave, situated anything from
fifty to a,hu nclred yards from some
"lay, come out with something like
"The referee certainly missed that
one," we sometimes can't help won-
dering where they get that wonderful
vision.,

lunch for several days in order to
'chip in' to pay a $50 fine foully ifn-
Posed by a heartless referee on some
big loogan pelting eight thousand a
year or better playing hockey or base-
bali,
* * *
Just a little while before the Mus-
tangs -Varsity game in London, we
wrote something about the amazing
manner in which the Mustangs had
dominated Intercollegiate football
for the past few seasons—hinting
that a great deal of their superior-
ity might be due to the mental atti-
tude of their opponents, Briefly,
McGill, Queens and Varsity played
as though they )knew they were
beaten before the opening whistle
blew,
* *
What happened in London seems
to here borne' out this contention.
Though we didn't Kee the tie game
choosing to watch Argos give
Rough Riders •a pushing -round in-
stead . , , friends who were present
told us about it. They say that Var-
sity took the field in the spirit of,
"Well, we've got nothing to lose, so
let's have some fun with these guys
anyway." And before the struggle
had proceeded more than ten min-
utes, it was the Mustangs who were
wearing that look of "What's going
on here shouldn't happen to a dog."
* * *
Altogether, the tie game was per-
haps the best thing that could have
happened to college football. Over
the season's play, Mustangs were
best, and deserve the title. But from
now on nobody's going to just take
their word that they're the tops.
They'll have to prove it on the field
—which is just the way it should he.
Man 0' War was undoubtedly a
great racehorse. But a lot of the
jocks oh horses that opposed him,
rode as if they had their eyes set
On second money.
* * *
And to our younger readers toe
fight e.lpain that the pictures and
descriptions Islet out regarding the
recent opening of the Metropolitan
Opera Fl int Se were not—as far
as we can lel',))—Red propaganda.
But to 0 populace composed largely
of people sprinting desperately to
keep within reach of rising costs of •
!ivblg, the Reds couldn't have done
better if they'd tried.

A senior official of the Interna-
tional Olympics Committee sug-
gested the possibility that Russia
will hold separate Olympic games
for the Soviet sphere of influence.
It is "most unlikely" now that
the Russians will participate in the
1048 Olympic Ganges, the official
said, expressing belief that the
Soviet may plan "some kind of
substitute -Olympics."

signs made from inverted gasoline cans similar to those used by
Canadian military installations overseas are being used by two
