• British people are almost proverbi-
ally sporting, traditionally addicted to
the side of the under -dog in sports con-
tests. There's something fine and sin-
cere about this, and it's doubtful that
British sentiment ever reached a finer
pitch than when all England's tennis
world rooted with feverish acclaim for Jaroslov Drobny, a
Czech exile, to win the Wimbledon Challenge Cup the past
summer.
This was amazing, in view of the ')'act that Drobny was
playing Ken Rosewell, a crafty, speedy and young Australian
who had just knocked the last hope of the United States,
Tony Trabert, out of the running.
Not even could the Hollywood wizards of film have
planned a final fade•out more dramatically — for a king, a
princess, dukes and" duchesses and masses of commoners
screamed and applauded and actually wept with sheer joy
as "Old Drab" at last attained the goal for which he began
striving as a boy of 16 in 1938.
Since then he has been in the finals twice and always in
the quarter -finals or semi-finals. He played first as a Czech,
then for a time as a man literally without a country as he
fled the Communist regime which had swallowed his own
country, a regime he found distasteful.
Knowing all this, appreciating a background not un-
touched with personal heroism, and scenting that, perhaps,
it was now or never for this quiet man, his final victory
in a long, bitterly -fought match was greeted by a most
extraordinary scene of genuine tribute and congratulation.
Here was a man who had overcome all the vicissitudes
of fortune to become champion. 'Six times in nine years
Drobny had reached the semi-finals at Wimbleton. And
at this, his third final, he was champion at last. • So, even
though he had defeated a Britisher t� achieve the goal at
last, sporting England rose to give him a tremendous
ovation.
The -self-exiled Czech, now a naturalized Egyptian but
married to an Englishwoman and living in England, had
everybody but the most loyal Australians on his side. Even
the Duchess of Kent told him as she presented the glittering
silver challenge cup that she had her thumbs crossed for
him. .
All this, we think, rates as one of the finest sporting
gestures of a year which has had a great many of them.

Mrs. Winifred M. O'Rourke,
Wexford, Ontario, writes: "I ,
read with interest your syndi•
-
cated column in which you take
to task the writer of an editor-
ial in a recent• issue of Saturday
Night. I think it is the first time
that I have ever seen St.
Thomas Aquinas referred to in
a secular paper, and I congratu-
late you on it. Mind you I won-.
der just how many people
would know to whom you were
referring."
Angelic Doctor
In a period of worldly think-
ing, like the present, which
concentrates all efforts on tech-
nological, i.e. material progress,
and which has banned all spirit-
ual influences from our daily
life, it is quite likely that a
large number of people would
:never have Imard of Thomas
d'Aquinas.
Thomas was born over 700
years ago five miles north of
the little Italian town Aquinum;
hence the name d'Aquinas. Like
all young men going to univer-
sity in the middle ages, his edu-
cation included philosophy and
theology. He joined the Dom-
inican Order and wrote a num-
ber of books.
His best known and universal
Work was the Summa Theolo-
gica in which he treats of all
aspects of life, material bs well
as spiritual,
The Summa forms the basis
of all teaching of. the Universal
Church. Thomas wrote it within
a few years, but was prevented
from finishing, it , by, an early
death.at theage.- �k9 ilO Vit s
canoniz-ed by the =. Cluiroh . and
is also known as the "angelic
doctor." '
Social Justice
A large part of the Summa
is devoted to the defiinition of
Justice and it is here that he
warned against secularization
by the commercializing influen-
ces of trade and finance.
He dealt extensively with the
natural right to property, dis-
cussing the possibilities of com-
mon property and private use,
or private property with com-
mon use. He came to the con-
clusion that private property,
limited by the demands of the
common good, was the better
solution. However, :he pointed
out that this was a question of
expediency to avoid strife with-
in satiety.
St. Thomas was quite out-
spoken in his condemnation of
the profit motive unless direct-
ed to an intrinsic good as the
maintenance of a family or the
improvement of society as a
whole.
The inclusion of the teachings
of the angelic doctor in the cur-
ricula of our schools would cer-
tainly go a long ways to make
this a better world to live in.

These Gids Rei!ly
Go After Their Man
June 24th is the shortest day,
of the year for feminine crown-
ing glory in Brazil, for at dawn
on that day Sao Joao girls cut
their hair as short as their
vanity will allow to make it
grow lustrous and beautiful, and.
at night they put three red roses
under their pillow so that they
may dream of their future hus-
band.
If they can't find three red
roses, they write a selection of
names on pieces of paper and
put them, folded, in a bowl of
water. They are sure to marry
the one whose name is on the
piece of paper which has open-
ed most by morning.
It is the season of Festas
Joaninas, a time of revelry al-
most the match of the famous
Carnival in Brazil. Parties go
on all night, gay parties with
dancing, bonfires and fireworks,
lasting altogether nearly three
weeks.
The bonfires are in memery
of the fire lit by St. Isabel, mo-
ther of Sao Joao, to signal his .
birth to . her cousin the Virgin
..Mary. .C4ins. 'are thrown tato •
it, and aro ~eo$Iettted ' afterwards
for the poor. And couples leap
over the bonfire to bless their
marriage.
As the night wears on it grows
chilly and the merrymakers
drink pinhao, a hot drink made
from sugar -cane.
But for all this, it is really
the season of the maidens, who
in addition to the hair cutting
and the red roses often go to
great extremes to "get their
man." They write his name on
a piece of paper and put it
under a statuette of Santo An-
tonio, patron saint of marriage.
If the man does not propose
within three days, a girl may
put the image itself in a coffee
strainer at the foot of her bed
or even down the well of her
loved one — that is, if he has a
well. She can go on doing this
at three-day intervals; then, as
'; alast . resort, she may take the
boy Jesus .from the statue's
.arms.
Sao
Sao Joao is credited with hav-
,ling power over the future, 'and
the season is accompanied by
uch fortune-telling and super-
stitious rites.
Spent Years
Looking At Hose
1n Moon
Astronomers are saying that
69 -year-old Roland Clarkson,
who died not long ago in Suf-
folk, achieved immortality for
himself and his name because
he spent all his spare time after
dark gazing intently at the
moon through a portable tele-
scope on the lawn of his bun-
galow home.
For twenty-nine years he
studied specially one of the
moon's many craters, -then
known as Crater 2412. What he
,*served was so importantto
astronomical science that ' it is
sow renamed Clarkson Crater.
"When the first landing party
's completing its plans for
:reaching 'the' moon, it will . cer-
iaully _ haae +`t iaz�t} t.a..' ecia't
note of the Clarkson Crater," 'one
astronomer said.
Since the seventeenth :cen-
tury, more than 600 men and
women who have helped to in-
crease mankind's knowledge of
the moon have been immortal-
ized by having craters, walled
plains and mountains on the
• moon named after them.
Some years ago their names
were compiled in a unique
'Who's Who of the Moon, Most
of them are dead, They include
an eccentric U.S. millionaire,
who built the greatest telescope
then known and had himself
buried under it, ' a man who
played the oboe in a German
band, a waif found on the steps a
of a French church, a former
Lancashire brewer and a fabu-
lously rich stockbroker who de-
voted almost his entire fortune
to astronomy.
