• There are bigger lish caught than the
luscious 30 -pound lane trout hauled from
the waters of Lake Superior in the
unique Rossport Annual Fish Derby.
But we doubt that there's a more truly
sporting crowd, or a greater gathering
of fishing folk and assorted fishing tackle
anywhere in the world than that poised for the crack of the
starter's gun each -year on the shores of this little Ontario
town.
On July 25, Rossport will once again be the scene of an
event in which many a fisherman's dream may come true,
Expert and novice, amateur and veteran can fulfill the am-
bition of winning an angler's prize,
The Rossport Derby attracts more entrants than any
other fishing derby in these Dominions. Last year, there
were 756 boats and 2186 contestants from the United States
and Canada.
Rossport is a picturesque village surrounded by some W
the most scenic areas of Northwestern Ontario. It nestles
In the shelter of the high hills, with their forested slopes
weeping down to the lovely shores of Lake Superior.
A flare -gun fired on the big day at the stroke of 8 A.M.
will send the myriad -craft racing toward "The Gap," where
the big trout lurk deep in Superior's waters. There are
power -boats, sail -boats and even row -boats in this motley
cavalcade, and lines and lures are flung into the waters by
the hundred.
Lake trout are big, hard -fighting fish. The winners are
judged by the poundage of their catch. Last year, trolling
from the same boat, Maurice Thompson, a drugstore pro-
prietor from Nipigon, Ontario, hooked the winner. It weighed
32 pounds, 11 ounces. Mrs. Rita Ray, from Chippewa Falls,
Wisconsin, took second -place lasrels with a beauty tipping
the official Derby scales at 29 pounds, 15 ounces. -
It's a real sporting event, for sports -minded folks. It
grows in volume and interest every year, ranking with the
best fishing derbies anywhere, and it is certainly one of
Canada's most: picturesque sports events.

NORSE SENSE..
Hy F. (BOB;) VON PILIS
This is Canada, founded on
the blood and sweat of men who
left their homelands to escape
arbitrary government or reli-.
gious persecution and wanted to
live 'as free men in a free coun
fry.
This is Canada, whose fifteen
million people sprung from 26
different nations, none of them
an absolute majority, yet all
united in their faith in the Bri-
tish tradition of fair play and
freedom.
This is Canada, the one coun-
try in the two Americas which
has not gone insane by suc-
cumbing to totalitarian "dictator-
ship or falling into a hysteria of
calumny, bigotry and smear.
This is Canada, where free-
dom of opinion and tolerance
of opposition still prevail.
Let us keep it that way.
Pioneers' and Pioneer Spirit
With the exception of a couple
of slanted articles and some
mud slinging, all coming from
the same quarters, the response
• to our reports exposing the
abandonment of the principle of
producer controlled orderly mar-
keting, has been very encour-
aging.
Canadians . who are either
pioneers themselves or still
close enough to the pioneer
spirit of their forefathers to
•realize the value of freedom, do
not intend to surrender their civil
and natural rights to an all-
powerful state, but want to look
after their own business them-
selves.
Majority Should Prevail
Only seven years ago, at the
National Marketing Conference,
11 anon a King - But not by
shoice. Allergic to almost all.
foods suitable for a Seven,
month-old boy, including hlHk',
Bradley Savage, Jr„ of Chicago,
dives on a banana 'clot. Fie
teat, on average of six et wiay,
the , President of the Canadian
Federation of Agriculture was
reported saying that "our pro-
ducers have reasoned that if the
great, majority agree on a mar-
keting plan,- than the will of
themajority should prevail to
carry out the.. plan."
He also gave this definition:
"An organized marketing plan
under legislation is a group of
citizens who produce the same
commodity and who are given
legislative powers to perform
certain services for themselves."
Mark the words "a group of
citizens . . to perform certain
services for themselves." No
thought there of getting a pater-
nalistic government to do it
for them.
Old and New Leadership
How strong the farmers' be-
lief in these two basic princi-
ples of majority decision and
self-government is and how little
they want to abandon them, be-
comes evident in a resolution of
t h e Ontario Farmers Union
which protects "against the ac-
tion taken by the beef produ-
cers in setting up the organiza-
tion known as the Canadian
Meat Council."
The Union believes it is
"wrong both in principle and
in practice," because "this plan
can only advertise meat and
tends to ,distract the attention of
farmers from a definite produ-
cers marketing plan."
The second -and most illumin-
ating reason given for rejecting
the Meat Council is "that be-
cause of the importance of the
project, the intent of the meet-
ings should have been made
known in newspapers advertis-
ing the meetings; that majority
farmer opinion is not reflected
in the meetings held, as a case
is known where one man voted
for a whole township at a coun-
ty meeting."
Ontario farmers are getting
tired of being imposed upon by
a small minority; they are find-
ing out that the old leadership
has led them nowhere; their pa-
tience is running out. That is
why they are swelling the ranks
of the Ontario Farmers Union.
Organized Hypocrisy
As to faith in governments,
we may not quite agree with
Disraeli that t'a Conservative
government is an organized hy-
pocrisy"; we are, however, al-
ways aware of the fact that
governments a n d legislative
bodies are made up ' of politi-
cians who want to stay .in power
and therefore need to be vigil-
antly watched..

Face To Face With Sport F. Cadlo, at left, of the famed Glasgow
Rangers, comes face to face with the ball during an exhibition
soccer match with the Chelsea Club of London, at.Triboro Sta-
dium in New York City. Both sides won "goose eggs" nearly as
big as the ball, as they fought the final game of their North
American tour to a 0.0 tie. At right, only a "m udder" could love
Jockey Mike ' eisman, in this condition. Up on Mambo, he had
just been on the muddy end of a race at Lincoln Fields track,
near Chicago, Ili., when this picture was taken.
Here are a few words of ad-
vice for ball players who would
like to fatten their batting av-
erages - and they come from
a man who, although he was
rather on the small side - got
the nickname "Little Poison" be-
cause of his ability to make even
the greatest pitchers look mighty
sick.
* *
"I think ball players use poor
judgment in selecting bats," said
Paul Waner, now a hitting coach
in the Milwaukee Braves organi-
zation. "One of the most com-
mon mistakes is to take a light,
33 Ounce bat simply because' you
can get it around quicker and
swing harder,
"I never weighed more than
150 pounds° whenI 'was-°playing`°r
ball, but always started the
season with a 42 ounce bat. Even
during the heat of summer I
never swung one under 38 ounces,
"The more wood there is in
the bat, the better chance you
have of getting a piece of the
ball," Paul pointed out: "You
also have a better chance to
meet the ball squarely. Remem-
ber that most all of the great
hitters swung heavy bats and
they weren't all big men, either."
* * *
Next, some pearls of wisdom
- they, too, come from an ex-
pert - to some of you ambitious
future Walter Johnson's, Dizzy
Dean's and Bob Feller's.
* * K
"The job of a big league coach
is much like that of a golf pro,
except that we work with pro-
fessionals, not amateurs," said
Frank Shellenback of the New
York Giants.
"You don't change the style of
a pitcher. You try to help each
man get the most out of what he
has, You're asking for trouble
if you try to make over a pitcher.
Carl Mays threw underhand,
Walter Johnson sidearm, Lefty
Grove overhand and all were
successful. If a pitcher has a
natural style, that's the way he
should throw.
"A lot is made of throwing to
a batter's weakness," Shellen-
back went on. "Sure, we have
hitters tabbed. But there are no
set rules, The main thing is to
keep the ball moving. By that I
mean, vary the speed and the
placing of each pitch. You can
have all the speed in the world,
but if you don't mix your pitch-
es, the hitters eventually will
gauge you."
* :N *
"Why do they keep on arguing
with the umpires when they
know they can't win - that the
best they can expect is the worst
of it?" This is a question that's
heard in the grandstands and
bleachers a zillion times every
season,
N * .e
Here's how umpire -baiting is
viewed by Mel Harder, coach of
the sensational - for the time
being at least, Cleveland Indians.
* * *
"Every time I see a ballplayer
thrown out of a game for argu-
ing with an umpire, I can't help -
wondering if " he really belongs
in the big leagues. A man who
is expected to take part in the
game every day should never
lose his head.
We all know that there are
times when a player has to
squawk," Harder went on. "You
wouldn't think , much of hilt if
he didn't show some ,'fight. But
he should know when to stop -
know when he's on the verge of
getting thumbed out, Because
you can't drive in the winning
run or strike out the final batter
in the clubhouse."
* * *
And although old Casey Sten-
gel is finding the trail a bit rock-
ier than it has been for the New
York Yankees the past few years,
he still doesn't seem to have let
it get him entirely down and out.
* * *
A couple of baseball writers
were in the Yankee dugout, talk-
ing about the once popular
blooper pitch as thrown by such
now departed hurlers as Buck
t Newsom and Rip Sewell. Casey
„, Stenge ,was ,.asked .how, he would
have hit the 'blooper, if it had
been thrown in his time.
"Well,„,I'li tell you exactly how
I would have hit it," the man-
ager of the Yankees replied. "As
a matter of fact, I've given it a
great deal of though."
His listeners waited with
strained patience for what they
were certain would be interest-
ing strategy from one of the
game's wise men. Finally Sten -
gen said:
"I'd stand at the plate in a
normal batting position until the
pitch left the mound. Then, just
before it reached me, I'd turn
around, take a healthy swing and
hit it up against the backstop."
High -Bouncing
Steel
Strange as it may seem, a ball
of steel will bounce higher than
one of rubber, though a rubber
one will bounce higher than one
of wood. However, an average -
sized ball of steel would be ex-
tremely heavy and hard to lift.
What makes a substance
bounce is its elastic, or springy,
quality - how much it can be
stretched or compressed and still
return to its original size, Steel
is one of the most perfectly elas-
tic solids, while rubber is actu-
ally rather poor in elasticity, It
can be stretched or compressed
rather easily, but does not return
accurately to its original size.
