Ma / II honour to the Penticton V's. In
the face of trying circumstances, they re-
covered the distinction rightly Canada's,
the hockey championship of . the world,
thus throwing sand into the gear -boxes
of a propaganda machine that must have
been hopefully poised to grind out praise
far the athletic superiority of the sturdy sons of the Soviet.
And now that we have won back what was really ours,
triumph in our own national game, should we call it a day?
Should we refrain from further participation in this annual
orgy of insults, mis-statements and accusations which are
inevitable when one of the participants is seeking to use a
sport for national propaganda purposes?
There is the thought that Canada should continue to
participate, first, in the interest of friendly relations with coun-
tries outside theiron curtain; second, for the international good
of hockey, to help spread the gospel of our crackling winter
sport.
But as to the event known as the world championships,
we believe it is mis-named. Everybody knows that no real
world championship, meaning world superiority in hockey,
iv seriously involved unless the . champions of the National
Hockey League, or the Stanley Cup holders. are involved.
Of course, there can be produced that over -ripe red her-
ring to indicate that this is the "world amateur championship".
But that isn't going to deceive anybody, because everyone
knows that in hockey at that level, simon-pure amateurism
is as scarce as the dodo -bird. And everyone knows, too, that
Russia's athletes are part of the propaganda machine, stall -
led, government-sponsored, government -controlled, their acti-
vities suitably recompensed. Russia has its own brand of
amateurism, something contrived to suit the circumstances.
And now that the fight has been won, and Canada's hockey
superiority re-established to the embarrassment of the Krem-
lin's propaganda machine, is there any virtue in carrying on
with a pointless chore? Everybody in sport is fully aware
that Canada is supreme in hockey.
Our victories in this tournament, over teams that in some.
eases could hardly make a respectable showing in Canada's
midget hockey leagues, prove nothing new. Or should we
continue so that hockeyshall become a more universal winter
sport?

HERSTOURG, ONTARIO
&3y I. (BOO)
The Ontario Farmers Union
deserve a hearty pat on the
back for the clear and precise
Brief presented by them to the
Agricultural .Committee of the
Ontario Legislature.
After stating that "producer
controlled orderly marketing is
one of the main objectives .of
our organization," and that they
aero fullyin support of the idea
of co-operative marketing, the
Union said that any criticism
they had, was directed "only
against some of the methods
that have been used. In the past
and are proposed to be used in
the future."
General Principle.
The Union wants to see con-
trol over the marketing of farm
products In the hands of pro-
ducers instead of vested
in boards whose members
are appointed by the gov-
ernments. They proposed the
abolishment of the government
appointed Provincial Board and
asked that "a n y marketing
scheme submitted by a repre-
sentative group of .producers
and adopted by a majority of
the producers of the commodity
to which the scheme applies, be
established directly by the Leg-
iaiature, to operate under the
supervision of the Minister of
Agriculture."
Any such scheme shall be
operated by a marketing board
whose members are to be elect-
ed by the producers of the com-
modity to which the scheme ap-
plies.
Consumer Representation,
The T.7nion maintained that
VON PILIS
"marketing boards or agencies
established 'under present legis-
lation have been sadly lacking
the power to market, in other
words, the power to buy and
sell' and that existing boards
are only negotiating commit-
tees. It was therefore proposed
that the powers, be extended to
include the powers (a) to mar-
ket, (b) to process the product,
(c) to fix prices.
To prevent a possible abuse of
such far reaching powers, the
Union recommended that a
number of members, not ex-
ceeding one fifth,. of a market-
ing board be appointed by the
Minister to represent consumer
interests.
Provincial Loans.
To facilitate the establish-
ment of more • and larger pro-
cessing and storage . plants, to
be owned and operated collec-
tively by farmers, in the inter-
est of orderly ' marketing, the
Union requested the assistance
of the Department of Agricul-
ture
,*
in the form of advice and
financial loans "on a consider-
ably larger scale than in the
past." On such a basis it could
be envisagedthat a number of
co-op packing plants will be set
up, strategically located, all
over the provcince.
Investigation,
In closing, the Union Brief
urged the Ontario government
to act on the motion of E. D.
Fulton (PC member for Kam-
loops) made in the House of.
Commons on March 9th which
called for an immediate investi-

SETS RECORD, COLLAPSES—Runner Lou Jones lies sprawled on
the track where he collapsed after crossing the finish line in
the 400 meter race, setting a new world's record at the Pan
American games at Mexico City, Mexico. Running past Jones
is Jesse Mashburn, who finished third,
gation of the spread between
producer prices and consumer
prices of meat and possible
abuses under the present sys-
tem of grading.
As the federal Minister of
Agriculture had refused to hold
an investigation as being more
properly in the provincial field
and as the large packing houses
have their headquarters in On-
tario, such an investigation
should be held in Ontario. The
results would be most helpful
for the organization of producer
controlled orderly marketing.
The • Brief was presented by
OFU Vice -President Walter Mil-
ler in a spirited manner. He
stood up manfully to a barrage
of questions coming from all
sides. We missed, however, a .
proposal for the establishment
of a separate Portfolio of Co-
operation to take charge of all
cooperative ventures as market-
ing, consumer' stores, credit
unions, etc, -

Fined For
Kissing Wife
Inspired by the sight of a
pretty girl, a . romantic young
Austrian kissed her in the street,
against her will.
She summoned him for as-
sault, declaring that - he was a
stranger and that she greatly re
vented being kissed by., someone
'to whom she had not been in-
troduced.
After hearing the evidence,
the court decided the man was
guilty—of stealing a kiss. They
fined him 'heavily, but he ap-
pealed •to the highest court in
Vienna. The supreme judge
listened carefully to him and to
the girl and then gave judg-
ment.
"To kiss a girl against her
will is not a crime," he pro-
nounced. "You were wrongly
fined. Custom has made such
kisses a recognized part of our
social system."
Kissers in public have fre-
quently got into trouble, so the
Austrian can consider himself
lucky. In Belfast a few years
ago a young man and a girl
were locked up overnight mere-
ly because they kissed frequent-
ly in the street.
In the days when Philadelphia
had an anti -kissing law, the
skipper of a merchant ship,
Captain Montague, was fined
twenty dollars for. having kissed
his wife on landing after a six
months' voyage.
' LAW'S "LIST"
The fine was paid. Then Cap-
tain Montague, in order to prove
(as he said) that no malice was
borne, asked the magistrates to
dine aboard his ship before he
left for his next voyage.
They accepted his invitation.
He plied them with so much
liquor that most of them were
soon rather tipsy. Then the cap-
tain told them: "Gentlemen, I
have a strict law against drunk-
enness on my ship, just as you
have a law against kissing in
your streets. I paid my penalty,
you must pay yours/'
He then instructed his boat-
swain to administer to each er-
ring magistrate a dozen strokes
with a birch.
His Number
Was Two
Numerologists m a y attach
whatever significance to this
story as they please. It's about
Ray Chapman, famous short-
stop of the Cleveland Indians,
whose greatest phobia was a
number—the number two.
Before batting, he would
always swing two bats. At bat,
he tapped twice on home plate.
He neverentereda place first,
but always second. And he bat-
ted second . in the Cleveland
line-up.
On Aug. 16, 1929, Ray Chap -
pian took part in the strangest
game of his career. Twice, with
the count at two and two, Ray
hit two -baggers. Twice with
the count at two and two, Ray
was hit by a pitched ball. At
the close of the day, his figures
in the , box score were: Times at
bat, 2; runs scored, 2; hits, 2;
stolen bases, 2. In the field it
was: putouts, 2; assists, 2; errors
2.
On his last time at bat, in
the seventh inning, Chapman
was hit by a pitched ball for the
second time, to make the cycle
of twos complete. Ray Chap-
man dropped to the ground
under the impact of the blow,
and never got up again. Within
a matter of hours the great
shortstop was dead, never again
to be obsessed by the number
two.
In good company you need not
ask who is the master of the
feast. The man who sits in the
lowest place, and who is always
industrious in helping every one,
is certainly the man.

Secret Lost For Two
Thousand Years
It took a Roman Caesar to
hold up progress more than two
thousand years. It happened at
the sumptuous palace of the
Roman princes where Tiberius
Caesar, Emperor of Rome, glow-
ered from his luxurious couch
at the craftsman who sought
audience with him.
"What is it you would show
me?" he demanded.
From the folds of his garment
the man drew forth a beautiful-
ly moulded goblet of sparkling
glass. He held it up to the light
and gazed at it with pride..
"Watch, 0 Emperor!" he cried.
With a quick gesture he dash-
ed the crystal cup to the stone
floor of the palace. There were
whispers of witchcraft as the
courtiers stared in wide-eyed
amazement. The glass had not
shattered; only a dent showed
where it had struck the floor.
The craftsman stooped, picked
up the goblet and hammered it
back into shaped.
"Does anyone else know the
secret of this glass?" thundered
Tiberius.
"No," said the man proudly.
But his pride soon turned to
fear, for a terrible anger cloud-
ed the Emperor's features as he
spoke again: "If this art be pro-
pagated, all goblets will be made
of this — and our gold and sil-
ver ones will be as worthless as
dirt!"
The craftsman paled at the
Emperor's next words. Tiberius
was ordering the soldiers to take
him away and execute him.
And so the invention of safety
glass, protector of every motor-
ist, was delayed for more than
twenty centuries.
To exist is to change, to
change is to mature.
