rHE Calved SPORTS COLUMN
o Two days of every year, the fishing
hamlet of Rossport, Ont„ on the shores
of Lake Superior, is turned into a teem-
ing settlement. From many parts of
Canada and the United States come hun-
dreds of keen fishing folk, with rods,
lines and myriad forms of lure, to take
part in, or witness the annual Rossport Fish Derby, rated
the richest lake trout derby in Canada, set this year for July 24
Saturday morning, the fishing enthusiasts begin arriving
and by Saturday night close to 4,000 are roaming the one main
thoroughfare of Rossport. Sunday, the remainder of the 6,000
enthusiasts come in by car, truckor boat.
Tent cities form along the highway and lake shore and
some even camp in their cars. Hotels and motels are booked
to capacity for the annual fishing classic months before the
actual happening. Sunday morning there will be hundreds of
boats of various shapes and sizes ranging from the poor man's
punt to the rich man's private yacht Some boats will be lined
up at the point, one-quarter of a mile from the dock, one
hour before the whistle blows to start the fishing folk on
their eager trail.
Rich prizes await the winner, but we doubt if the prizes
are as great a magnet as the chance to do battle with a fight-
ing lake trout that may range up to 30 pounds or so in weight.
For this is a real sporting event, where a fisherman's dream
may come true, where expert or novice, amateur or veteran
can fulfill a wish of winning an angler's prize.
This is one of Canada's major fishing events. In fact, it
has become a national sporting event, patronized by fishing
enthusiasts throughout Northwestern Ontario and from distant
parts.
Rossport is not only famous for its big and sporting lake
trout, it is the mecca of the Rossport fishing industry, where
the quiet charm of inlet and island provides a setting of un•
surpassed grandeur for a restful rendezvous.
An all-round Port Arthur athlete who starred in lakehead
hockey and baseball, Weikko Koivisto, brought in the prize-
winning lake trout at the 17th annual last year, with approxi-
mately 2,870 fishermen participating. His catch weighed 15
pounds, three ounces. Fishermen's luck figured his triumph.
Weikko caught the winner about two minutes after a fishing
rod had been put in his hands by another contestant, who
said he didn't think the fish were biting well, and he'd had
enough for a while.
Weikko won a trip to Florida. and a trip to Bermuda went
to a couple who only recently had been blessed with even
better fortune in the form of a pair of bouncing twins.

The world of slumberland,

shaking horror ... the 'land of
your dreams, shocking and most
deeply personal world of all.
is coming under the probing
spotlight of science.
The experts who head the in-
vestigation are the husband -
and -wife team of Drs. Joseph
and Louis Rhine, of Duke Uni-
versity, North Carolina. Over
the past twenty years they have
already established new fron-
tiers into the unknown in their
investigation of telepathy.
They conducted the amazing
tests with 10,000 packs of picture
cards that brought a surprise
ending—the discovery that the
mind-reader was "reading" not
the card being telepathetically
"shown" to him but the card
next in the pack, the card un-
known to both the telepathic
"transmitter" and "receiver."
Instead of telepathy, in fact,
here was evidence of a sixth.
sense—and researchists in every
part of the globe are now un-
dertaking tests in what they
nowadays call ESP, extra -sen-
sory perception.
Now the Rhines are moving
on, exploring a further new ter-
ritory in th e uncharted and
mysterious hinterland. This time,
they're mapping the space -trav-
el that goes on in your sleep!
A schoolboy in bed in Hert-
fordshire dreamed that his home
in Bruges was blazing fiercely.
He was so alarmed by the dream
that the head -master wrote to
his mother. The house had in
fact been burned down.
A woman in Florida awoke
sobbing uncontrollably because
she had dreamed that her son
had died in a blazing 'plane.
Trying to ,be sensible, she re-
minded herself that her son was
not in the Air Force and a
cheerful letter arrived the next
day, announcing that he expect-
ed to be home soon on leave.
Within five nights, however,
the woman dreamed the same
dream again. She was so dis-
traught that her doctor made
arrangements for her to be ex -

amined by a psychiatric specia-
list. But before this could occur,
a telegram arrived. Her boy had
been sent home from the Far
East in a 'plane which had
crashed in flames on the night
of her first experience.
In their laboratory the re-
searching Rhines have now as-
sembled more than 4,000 au-
thenticated cases of clairvoyant
dreams, dreams that come start-
lingly true and seem to make
space and time travel as simple
as shopping.
Glance through some of these
case histories at random, and
they'll set you pondering. A girl
dreamed of her boy friend when
he was on the other side of the
Atlantic and recalled nextmorn-
ing that in her dream his hair
had turned completely white.
"That's funny," he wrote back.
"So it has! I couldn't bring my-
self to tell you. How did you
know?"
Three times in a night a Win-
chester woman dreamed that her
little girl had been killed in a
road accident. The whole ghast-
ly sequence came true in grim
reality the following day.
Four airmen who baled out of
a crippled 'plane came down
near a cottage and found a high
tea awaiting them.
"I dreamed about it," said the
little woman who opened the
door. "I've 'been expecting you!"
How? Why? What extraordin-
ary explanation underlies this
true -dreaming faculty, the sixth
sense of sleep? By no means
every such dream seems to look
ahead to tragic events. The wife
of a former Bishop of Hereford
dreamed that she entered her
dining -room after morning
prayers and found an enormous
pig at the table. The dream came
true the very next day. The
pig had escaped from its sty
during prayers.
Movie -star Cary Grant once
dreamed he was in a huge place
crowded with people, when sud-
denly a girl took his hand, one
of the loveliest women he had
ever seen. Two weeks later, at a
Hollywood first night, an actress
stumbled and seized Cary's hand
to stop herself falling. She was
the girl of his dreams.
Perhaps the incident should
have led to romance, to round
off the story. In fact, they met
and parted as strangers. Simi-
larly, a truly nightmarish dream
prevented a processional disaster
just before the coronation of
King Edward VII.
The then Duke of Portland,
Master of the Horse, dreamed
that the crown on top of the
state coach became wedged un-
derneath the Horse Guards arch.
He was so disturbed by the
dream that he had both coach
and and arch measured. Sure
enough, the arch was found to
be nearly two feet too low, the
level of the road having been
gradually raisedin preceding
years.
Then there was the startling
case of crippled Fred Shenton,
who awoke in sudden fear one
night in his little house on Can-
vey Island. "The sea is coming
in!" The cried. "The island's
flooded. George is outside in a
little boat. . ,
His wife scrambled out of bed
" and dashed to the window. But
outside all was dry and normal,
It was precisely a year later that
the hungry sea swept over Can-
vey and the Shentons found
their son-in-law coming to res-
cue them with a little boat just
at Fred Shenton had dreamed.
Maybe you dream that wild
animals are roaming free, like
another Essex man who dream-
ed that a tiger was loose. Three
nights later an escaped circus
tiger was actually captured in
his back garden.
Now research will follow the
line etablished by mathcmati'
elan . W. Dunne in his classic
book, "An Experiment with
Time," with its record of dreams
written down shortly after
waking, which duly came true.
There was his prevision of a
train wreck north of the Firth
of Forth Bridge, the shattered
cars lying on the golf links.
In his dream he noticed the
sharp contrast between the car-
nage and the fresh green grass
of spring. Next spring the Fly-
- ing Scotsman jumped the tracks
a few miles beyond the bridge
and fell on to the golf links just
as he had forseen. The date was
April 141h, 1914
Less familiar is the instance
experienced by Maitre Duvelle,
the French lawyer, when he
dreamed during an afternoon
nap of being aboard a ship that
struck an iceberg. He wrote a
letter describing the dream and
the name of the liner, which
he recollected as the Gigantic.
Was it a coincidence that, with-
in a few hours of his dream, the
great Titanic disaster occurred?
How can you explain the clas-
sic of all warning dreams, the
nightmare that shook the then
Prime Minister of England,
Spencer Perceval, one night in
1812? He came down to break-
fast to tell of his dream that,
while passing through the lob-
by of the House of Commons, he
had been confronted by a man
in a green coat and brass but-
tons, who fired a pistol at him
and killed him.
•His friends tried to dissuade
him from going to the Commons
that day. Their persuasions
would no doubt have been even
more forcible had they known
that, on the same night, a Cor-
nishman in Redruth had dream-
ed another version of the same
dream. Mr. Williams, of Red-
ruth, did not know what the
Prime Minister looked like. But
he had dreamed that a man in
a green coat had shot and killed
an important Parliamentary fi-
gure in the lobby of the House
of Commons.
Perceval insisted on going to
the House as usual. In the lob-
by he was shot by a maniac
dressed in a green coat with
brass buttons!

"It's hard to separate them,"

take either one of them for my
ball club.
"Berra, in spite of what you
sometimes hear, is a smart

Campanella. Roy is the best low

though he sometimes blocks the

point is, it doesn't get by hila,.
