How can I cause playing cards to slide easier? A. If a thin coating of liquid wax is applied to each card, both face and back, they will slide much easier and will also be protected from soil and wear. * * * Q. How can I make a good ce- ment for broken china? A. Mix plaster of Paris with the white of an egg until the consist- ency of cream. Apply and allow to harden before using. * * * Q. What is one of the biggest factors in the laundering of clothes? A. One of the biggest factors in the whiteness of white clothes and the clearness of colored clothes is thorough rinsing. Rinse until the water is clear and absolutely free of any suds. *. * * Q. How can I remove ate cork from a bottle? A. Dip a piece of woollen cloth into boiling water and wrap tightly about the neck of the bottle. In a few minutes the cork can be re- moved. * * *- Q. How can I prevent chapped hands? A.

The cobalt had to be seal- ed in a small air -tight container and transferred from a 6,000 -pound lead shield into the 2,000 -pound "bomb"—all under tan feet of wa- ter. And the cobalt had to be absolutely dry before being sealed. The loading was carried out with long tongs under water because of the cobalt's radioactivity. The unit was then housed in an underground building, with thick concrete walls, to be tested on animals. When the testing phase of the program is completed, the unit will be moved to Texas for treatment of cancer patients. It can be used' as a bomb to take the place of much larger and more expensive X-ray machines. �l; �ilr��Wr ✓t��� Meet The Champ—Framed by assorted cuts of meat, James Barry, celebrates his winning of the meat -judging contest at the inter- national livestock show. Barry scored 432 out of a possible 1040 points, trimming his nearest,opponent, Robert Kreiter, by three points. It isn't very often that you see anything like real critiicsm of pro- fessional hockey in the Toronto dailies. This may be because the Maple Leafs most always have a team that is up there or there- abouts—or because the owner of two-thirds of the Queen City dailies is supposed to have quite a senti- mental and financial interest in the Leafs—or because Conn Smythe al- ways had a shrewd appreciation of the value of publicity—or a com- bination of all three. You pays your money and takes your choice. * * Anyway, it carne as quite a sev- ere shock to many when they read in a reeent column written by Jim Vipond, sports editor of The Globe and Mail, the following paragraphs: * * We hear, indirectly, that the Nat- ional Hockey League governors will meet in New York Wednesday. One of the topics on the agenda is said to be relations with the press. This has been written before, but it bears repeating: We do not think National Hockey League head- • quarters yet realizes the press is the life -blood of professional sport. Newspapers spend vast sums to keep readers informed, yet fail to receive the co-operation necessary. The very fact neither President Cla- rence Campbell nor his publicity chief, Ken McKenzie, has seen fit to advise the newspapers of this week's meeting, points up a glaring weakness. Are suggest the NHL governors should take a cue from their major league baseball brethren who are meeting in New York this week. Commissioner Ford Frick and his associates appear to have a much better working knowledge of the importance of keeping the press abreast of baseball times. Naturally the govenors of both baseball and hockey have problems concerning their business which have nothing to do with the pub- lic, but at least there should be some effect to keep the Fourth 'Way Back For "Layback"--S'ixteen-year»old Sonya Klopfet prat, fine this back -breaking routine for the Olympic tryouts.

New synthetic sow -milk al- lows, farmers: to take piglets with usual suckling period of 56 days away from sow 48 hours after birth. This prevents new-borns from being crushed by clumsy mother and is said to cut down infant pig mortality 22 per cent. * * *, Stain Boot Polish Hard texture composite wax shoe polish is said to turn out more durable shine with single brush stroke. Easy to use, will not cake • or dry, covers scuff marks.

For more and more, in recent years, professional. sports of all kinds in• North Ameri- ca have come to resemble that critter in the Scriptures which, after putting on a lot of weight, started to kick its stall to pieces. (We just disremember the exact quotation but n'iost of our readers will recall it. We hope!) * * In other words, professional sport has swelled up to the point where it thinks itself bigger and more im- portant than the forces which made it—said forces being the press and, to a minor degree, radio. * ' * There are folks' still alive who remember when the late H. J. P. Good, working on a Toronto daily, first grouped all the sports news on one page, instead of scattering the items throughout the paper as had been the custom. This, we be- lieve, had never been done before anywhere, and marked the birth of the "Sports Section." (And, Lawd, look at the darned thing now! * * * This grouping, which was widely copied, naturally tended to make the public more sports -minded -as onlookers, that is—and as more and more high-class reporters were as- signed to sports, park turnstiles spun and box-office receipts mount- ed. Team owners and promoters prospered, and professional athletes became not only respectable but highly sought-after. In those days a prize-fighter wouldn't dream of seeking accommodation in a Grade A hotel, or a ball team of trying to eat in a high-class restaurant. Today, even our "best" people get a bang out of stopping under the same roof as Jack Dempsey, and Toots Shor's New York place is jammed to the doors any time there's a chance of Joe DiMaggio dropping in, * * * Not that there's anything wrong about this. We've known thousands of athletes in our time and, with a few exceptions, we're all for then. But what gets us is some of the "higher brass" of professional sport trying to high -hat the press and radio, forgetting that the sante forces which made them could, as easily as not, destroy them. * * * Newspaper publishers—a fairly hard-boiled lot mostly—have been remarkably soft and lenient with professional sport which is, after all, first and last a business propo- sition, They have given sports free publicity in quantities which makes men in other branches of the amuse- ment business—movies, for example —wring their hands in envy. Of course, the newspapers have gained readers and reader -interest by such extensive sports coverage, But— and this is the point that those engaged in professional sport should by no means overlook — if such coverage were to be cancelled, which would suffer the most, sports or the press? * *' * Some years ago we happened to be talking to a man who had made ISSUE 51 ,.1951 Cold and Hot Pack Chemical solution sealed in plas- tic pack will retain heat or cold for half an hour, Shaped like or-. dinary hot water bottle, pack needs no refilling and can be wrapped around swollen arms or ankles.

Half jok- ingly, he remarked on how soft sports writers had it, getting good seats for nothing, travelling with teams for free, and so forth. * * * Somehow or other the remark happened to get under our skin. Maybe one of the kids had kept us awake the night before, or we'd had a battle with friend wife. "Listen," we said to him, "If it wasn't for the sporuts reporters all -those highly -paid athletes of yours would be starving to death. What's more, if the newspapers treated you like other businesses and only gave you the advance publicity your advertising entitles you to, within a year, you, yourself, would be looking for a job" * * * For a moment we thought he was going to pop us one, but that's the advantage of wearing glasses. There's a law against it. Then, after a 'moment or so, he cooled out. "You know, Six," he said, "Now I conte to think it over, you're pro- bably dead right. But don't tell it to anybody else!" * * * And now that we've got rid of all that spleen, we're in a good enough mood—and have just suf- ficient space left to wish a Very Merry Christmas to one and all, professional sports included.

Slay, North Huntsville Ont Meat is one of those things you can't keep out of the headlines. If it isn't in short supply, it's too expensive. ' Why is it so important, apart from the fact that there are fewer dishes more tasty than tender meat? What we get from it is protein— the body-building food that quakes our muscles and flesh, hair and skin. The question scientists are try- ing to answer is whether they can manufacture synthetic protein and so make the need for meat less desperate. Can they, in fact, make protein? Proteins are the most complicated of all chemicals. They are the basic chemicals of life itself, and we've only just begn to understand them. Now Dr. Robert Woodward, a young American research chemist, has sticceeded in making a protein - like substance in his laboratory. Woodward has taken tis a step along the road towards the solution of the mystery of living matter. Many of the chemicals and secre- tion that control our body pro- cesses are also protein. What pos- sibilities await the chemist who can make such things synthetically iti his lahoratroy. Synthetic steaks would be only a mirror outcome. Some of the viruses are proteins. These tiny organisms are respons- ible for many plant and animal diseases. Inside ,the body they can reproduce and multiply to give us diseases like infantile paralysis. Proteins are a link between the living and the dead—and they now conte within the scope of being made in a test-tube.

' On a Contra Costa, Calif., farm a parrot learned to imitate the neighboring hog -raiser's call, had the hogs answering false alarms, made them run off several hundred pounds of precious pork, threatened to wreck the owner's business, , CHRISTIAN 'TRUTHS Recently a leading Lutheran Bi- shop, Wilhelm Stahli4i of Olden- burg, Germany, made this remark. "If a man believes that he can sacrifice the fullness of the Christ- ian revelation to some vague form- less religious feeling or vague be- lief in Providence, he may hold him - shelf to be a good Protestant, but in the true Reformation sense of the -word, he is s'mply not a Christian." No, Christ did not teach a vague belief in Providence. He was exact, specific. He came from another universe into. this world to explain to man the destiny that lies ahead of him. But more than that. He arranged to help man fulfill his purpose. Knowing the human ten- dency to falter and fail in mind and will, Christ arranged to pre- serve both His truth and His help in the world for all time. "I am with you all through the days that are coming. until the consummation of the world." The mind of Christ is revealed in the actions of the Apostles. Note the feeling of St. Paul. "Friends, though it were we ourselves, though it were an angel from heaven that should preach to you a gospel other than the gospel we preached to you, a curse upon himl (Gal. 1, 8). And St. John too is equally severe. "If you are visited by one who does not bring this teaching with him, you must not receive him in your houses, nor bid him welcome." (II John 1, 10). When reading -the Bible one must not read into it. Nothing must be added to what He taught and nothing must be taken away. What does the Master, mean? The Apos- tles knew. And those whom they trained knew for how otherwise could they go to ALL nations; to teach ALL He taught; to teach for ALL time? This is one of a series of messages by Father V. McGivney, Parish Priest, St. Francis Parish, Pickering, Ont. From Switzerland comes the re- port that a kitten made the ascent of the famed 14,780 -foot Matter- horn, then was seen climbing down the other side toward Italy.
