The crowd roared as the two
muscled giants slammed at
each o t her under the fierce
lights, unleashing murderous
lefts and rights, wincing and
grunting as they shuffled and
weaved, then locked their huge
arms around each other in a
mauling Brawling clinch.
Suddenly one of them smash•
ted home a blow that sent the
either sprawling, shaking the
ring as his heavy body crash•
ed to the canvas - out cold.
The man who stood over
him, battered but triumphant
as the referee raised his right
arm high,' was Frank Goddard.
Four years later, in 1923, he be-
came Br i t i s h- heavyweight
champion. The loser was Victor
McLaglen, famous today as the
tttar of over a hundred films.
Years later, long after God•
dard had lost his heavyweight.
crown, he was almost down and
out when he decided to try his
luck on the screen. He went to
Hollywood and met once again
the man whose boxing hopes he
had dashed in that epic 1919
bout. And it was Victor Mc-
Laglen - then well established
in the film, world - who was
responsible for getting him sev-•
eral small roles. •
If Hollywood ever runs out
elf plots it can always film the
life -story • of veteran tough -guy
actor Victor McLaglen. In his
Warty -nine years, as well as be-
ing fighter and wrestler, he's
been soldier (he cheated about
lois age and joined the Life
Guards at fourteen), farmer,
gold prospector, miner, pearl
fisher, policeman - and still
found time to make that cen-
tury of films.
One of his most memorable
roles was as Captain Flagg in
"What Price Glory." He scored
a big success in an early "Beau
Geste." And in 1935 won an
Academy Award for his mag-
1Dificent acting in "The Inform -

muscled (he takes size thirteen•

a fighter in his teens, taking on

rounds against world champion
Jack Johnson. "The greatest

says.

had gone to Hollywood (he was
born at Tunbridge Wells,

Farmer Nuns
Raise Goats
Almost everyone is acquaint-
ed with cows called "Betsy"
and "Clara," but in the moun-
tains north of Montreal are
some goats with far more im-
aginative names. '
"Cascade," "Blanchette" and
"Nougatine"are members of a
herd ' carefully tended by a
young woman who wears a blue
cotton apron over the habit of
a nun. The cloistered sisters of
the Benedictine priory at Mont
Laurier, Quebec, make goat -
raising a profitable enterprise.
The milk is rich and provides
good butter and cream. Light,
digestible cheese is being made
on an experimental basis. The
Benedictine order is already
famous for chocolate - making
and some day these cloistered
sisters hope to develop a new
chocolate made with the milk
from their goats. Quite . apart
from milk, the meat from
young kids is delicate and the
resourceful nuns hope to' be
able to tan kidskin.
Behind the main building of
the priory at Mont Laurier is
land running back to a river-
bank. There, this progressive
group of w o In e n turn from
their prayers to operate a high-
ly efficient farm. They keep
about 500 hens, grow fruits and
vegetables - and raise 'oats.
The priory's meticulously -
clean goathouse has stalls for
25 milking goats. In a corner,
a wooden platform .equipped
with a neck -yoke is where
"Nougatine" and her sisters
take turns munching from a
pail of oats while being milked.
On the wall hangs a chart re-
cording the milk given by each
member of the herd; for these
nuns are business -like farmers.
Along the river bank is the
goat pasture. The grass is thick
and the land rich, but not be-
cause nature made it that way.
These farmers in blue aprons
are completely up-to-date on
agricultural methods. Their al-
kaline soil last fall was treat-
ed with limestone and this:
spring will be enriched by
growing clover and alfalfa.
Their pasture flourishes with
the help of modern chemical
fertilizers, scientifically applied
to meet the needs of the soil.
After these lucky goats have
grazed their fill, their thrifty
keepers protect the grass by
driving the herd into a "loung-
ing ' area" where "Cascade,"
"Blanchette" and the others
take their ease, nibbling on
straw and making milk. At sun-
down, the goats with the quaint
names quietly obey the young •
nun's call and file into the goat -
house with its whitewashed
stalls.
Fruits and vegetables grown
on the priory, faun are care-
fully chosen for their food
value. A special variety of
black . raspberry is cultivated
because it is high in vitamins.
The henhouse is a model of ef-
ficiency. It is not so surpris-
ing then, to see these secluded
fields be ing plowed ,with a
shiny new tractor, confidently
driven by a nun in billow skirts.
SHORT SNORTS
Wolves, or wolf pups, do not
lap water like coyotes or dogs;
they sup it as does a horse or
cow.
The prong -horned antelope is
not -a true antelope. Unlike the
true antelape the prong -horn has
branched horhs and sheds the
ho sheat.
Fawns, only a few hours or
days old, have no body odor or
scent -- their only protection at
that age against predators.
It's Do -it -Yourself
Jewellery Now
The "do-it-yourself" craze ..is
blossoming into the jewellery
field for spring.
An imaginative designer has
made beads of polythene - the
waxy plastic commonly found
in kitchenware -- and on each
bead 'he has moulded a little
knob which fits into every other
bead. They can be popped to-
gether without the use of string
to create a fascinating range of
necklace and bracelet styles.
The first polythene beads on
the market relied on the pastel
glow of the plastic itself for
beauty, but new pearl -like coat-
ings have now made their ap-
pearance in sparkling colors,
all the way from bright coral
through pastel pinks 'and blues
to chalk white.
This adaptable new necklet
is bought by the length'- about
a yard for a dollar - and has
no clasp. The beads are easily
snapped together, stay in place
firmly and just as quickly can
be taken apart to •serve the
whim of the moment. The wo-
man with a fashion flair can
combine colors in her own de-
signs, make her necklace long-
er or shorter, double it up as
a choker or turn it into a
bracelet -- all at the pop of a
bead!

Paint Is Not
A Fire Hazard
In spite of our "scientific
age," it's amazing how many
old wives' tales still persist.
For instance, there's the one
about painted surfaces being
especial fire hazards.
Actually, dried paint, in-
stead of tending to spread
flames, effectively retards it! In
the early stages of a fire or-
dinary paints, particularly semi-
gloss ones, slow down the blaze.
You can check this the next
time you are around a bonfire.
Throw on painted and unpaint-
ed boards and just watch which
catches fire and is burned up
first.
Guard painted areas around
door knobs and jamb frequent-
ly soiled by children by coating
thele with pa s t e wax or a
creamy clean-up wax.
