Smiley) Frank Tumpane, a Toronto newspaper columnist of redoubta- ble valour and unimpeachable in- tegrity, recently came out with a column that requires an answer. Reason is that he doesn't know what he's talking about. B Mr. Tumpane has a trenchant style and a vigourous vocabulary that are admirable, ordinarily, when he is on a subject of which he has some knowledge. But every so often, he mounts a horse of a different colour, lowers his visor so nothing will distract him, and gallops off the deep end. * When this happens, as one who has had inuch experience in clamb- ering out of similar abysses of ignorance, I feel it is only my duty to throw him something to cling to. Like a harpoon maybe. * ,1 In this particular column, Mr. Tumpane, wielding his prose like a sabre, lays about him at the people who claim they have seen a 'fly- ing saucer. "Crackpots!" he calls them "Cultists!" he cries, "Mum- bo -jumbo!" he mutters. "Hallucin- ations!" he mutters. "Hallucin- ations!" he hoots. k * * Never mind, fellow cultists, bro- ther crockpots. Galileo was tor- tured for trying to reveal the truth. Darwin was the object of hatred and abuse. They laughed at Alexander Graham Bell when he sat down at the telephone (lit- tle knowing they'd be paying a dime for one lousy call in 50+ years), So I guess we can face the slings and arrows of outrag- eous columnists. Tumpane is like the farmers who snorted: "Dange.d thing's just a fad!" when the first Model T went by in a cloud of dust and: transformed quiet old Nell into a. bucking bronco. He won't face the fact that the flying saucer, or Un- identified Flying Object, as we crackpots like to call it, is here to stay. .1, * He claims there is not one shred of evidence to prove that anyone' has ever seen a flying saucer. I wonder how much research Mr. T. did before coming out with that nice, fat, sweeping statement. Twenty minutes? Thirty? Or did the just ask the fellow at the next desk? * * Of course as a conscientious newspaperman, he checked with competent authorities before de- claring that we crackpots are suf- fering from delusions. Or did he? Just in case he didn't, I did. And I can tell our over -emphatic friend that the Ground Observer Corps of the RCAF don't sneer at reports of unidentified flying ob- jects. They check every flying (Continued on Page Eleven) To the Electors of Huron: Thanks, and Good uck Bill SPRING SAVINGS M ` Mf 4+,i uro !
