John, in conversation at the hotel last night, discovered an inmate who hnew of its whereabouts, This morning I hurried round to see him, and he gave me directions and a map and two pond -skaters in a matchbox which I was to take and identify in exchange. In the afternoon we set off up to Elan Valley. It was very hot and still and sweet-smelling as we :left the car and walked along under a pine wood towards a small farm, the start of our search. Our track D.an through the yard where four Collie dogs, three geese and a hound slippy came clamoring to meet us. We waded through then rather :nervously to the front of the little pink house that snoozed above the lake in the afternoon sunshine. The farmer's wife carne to the door; yes, indeed, she said, we plight go anywhere we Liked over their land; she hoped we would find the flower; again we blessed the Welsh for their generous views on trespass. Past the farm 1 took out the map, and there it was, the two fields to the right of the hedge, the stream, the gate, and on the Wt the boggy spot marked CRAN- BERRIES. But we couldn't find them. We :hunted and hunted, bent double, our feet squelching in the spongy sphangndin, but not a sign of cran- berries, although John and Mary kept bringing me little pieces of this and that, and asking, "What's this?" "We'd better try the next field," I said at last, but with fading hopes. The next field was less spongy than the former, thick with bog - asphodel and sedges. We wandered across it, backwards and forwards lentil suddenly Mary asked, "What's this?" r "I don't know," I said for the first time. "It isn't what I thought cranberry looked like because it's so tiny, but I can't think what else it can be. Show me where you found it." "1 hope I can," said Mary an- xiously. But there was no need to re- discover the exact spot. Suddenly we realized the plant was every- GIL GETS HIM—In mid-air at Yankee Stadium second baseman Gil McDougald of the New York Yankees flips to first base on a throw from shortstop Phil Rizzuto. The throw was too late to double Mickey Vernon. where. Its black and wiry stem, no thicker than a horse -hair, trailed even at our feet, its silvery half - folded leaves arranged along it like rungs of a procumbent ladder with- out its supporting sides, "It IS Cranberry!" 1 said in a voice sepulchral with excitement. It was late for the flowers them- selves, but Nye discovered a few, enchanting in their extreme delicacy, their minute pale pink ears turned back from their pointed faces like a cyclamen's. We found the berries, too, not yet in their crimson ripe- ness, but pinker than the flowers, and their skins beautifully marb- led. Some were round, some the shape of minute rugger balls, and they lay prone on the mossfor their stents were far too fragile to sup- port them. It was a great triumph after all our useless searching of Plynlim- mon's slopes.—From "River Diary," by Dorothea Eastwood. How do modern wrestlers com- pare with those of 30 or 40 years ago?—that's a question old-timers are frequently asked by 'aficionados' of today's groan -and -grunt game. And if the old-timer gives a really honest answer, it will be to the ef- fect that nobody really knows. * * * That's because the modern grap- pler is, primarily, an actor. Fans nowadays — both those personally present and those who take wrest- ling via TV — demand action and drama in big gobs. "Something doing every second" is their cry; and if two wrestlers were to stand prac- tically motionless for minutes at a time, striving with all their strength to get a slight advantage, the crowds would simply walk out on them in droves. They'd lose their public and — what would be worse — their pay day. * * * lfow long it is since there was a real "shooting -match" in the wrest- ling ring we wouldn't car : to specu- late. The boys put on a thrilling show, please their public, get plenty of engagements—which is all that really natters. How they would have fared against one of the giants of old -well, your guess is as good as Ours. * One of the best of said giants was undoubtedly Stanislaus Zbysz- ko. In fact if you had ask- ed him --- or even if you hadn't Stanley would have admitted that he was the best in the world. Yet one night, in Chi- cago, Mr. Z was floored and pinned in just six and two-fifths seconds. Fancy that, Hedda! Less than seven seconds—not even time for the announcer to get in one plug for his sponsor's product! * * * The night referred to was when the "nighty son of Poland" match- ed thews with Frank Gotch; and a brief description of what went on might be of some slight interest, besides helping out to fill a column. * * * Zbyszko was in his prime. He weighed well over 250 pounds, stood 5 feet 10 inches and had a chest measurement of 55 inches normal. Yet Gotch, smaller in every respect, threw him with a simple trick. * * * Zbyszko had defeated the best in the land. He had held Gotch to a one-hour draw at Buffalo, Nov. 25, 1909, and when they met for the world's title at the Chicago Colis- eum, the vast arena was packed to capacity. The fall calve so quickly that the crowd could hardly be- lieve their eyes. * * * Gotch was standing in his corner at the call of time. At the word "Go" he wheeled like a flash and ran toward Zbyszko, at the sante time extending his rght hand. Wasted Words—Communist Max Reimann (arrow) makes c1 speech in the West German parliament at Bonn, attacking the West German peace pact. He talked to an almost empty room, because non-Communist deputies walked out on him, leaving one deputy ;n' each party in the hall. All returned after Reimann finished Ms speech. Zbyszko was taken off hs guard and raised his hand to grasp Frank's extended Wrist, but Gotch dived underneath and slammed the Pole to the canvas with a leg hold. In an instant Gotch jammed on a bar arm lock and a half-nelson and Zbyszko fell back to the canvas, It had been exactly 4 seconds since Gotch left his corner to begin the fight. Referee Fleming slapped Gotch on the shoulder but Frank kept up the pressure to make sure. Two and one-fifth seconds later Fleming again slapped Gotch on the back and this time Gotch jump- ed to his feet with a grin. Had he arisen at the first signal of triumph he would have been credited with the first fall in four seconds, * * * The Coliseum was a riot of noise when the crowd realized that Zbyszko had been thrown. An in- termission of five minutes was taken and the Pole protested the fall all during the wait. .Suddenly there was a crash in the Pole's corner and the crowd jumped. to its feet with a yell. The strain on the ropes from the pressure of arms and bodies of the wrestler and his attendants had caused the ropes to snap and the post to crack off at the bottom. It was impossible to repair the damage, • so the match was continued with one side of the roped ring sagging down a1;71ost to the floor- Zbyszko calve out cautiously for the second match. Gotch was ex- tremely confident as he walked out. The time was 10:17 p.m, * * Gotch rushed the Pole about the ring after a few seconds of light work about the head. Zbyszko crash- ed up against the broken post and sprawled through the ropes, but Gotch pulled him back from a bad fall. Fleming ordered them back to ring centre and Gotch toppled the Pole over with a bang by trip- ping. After six Minutes of head-to- head work, Zbyszko went down when Frank gave him the foot, but Gotch experienced difficulty in holding his man clown. * * * At the eight -minute mark Gotch held his man for two minutes try- ing to get in a toe -hold, but Zby- szko was too strong and jumped to his feet. Gotch made a flying tackle as the Pole tried to tincan out of the danger zone and was on top at the 12 -minute mark, with 'Zbyszko caught in a half-nelson. For the first time during the even- ing the Pole"got behind the cham- pion by some fast ground work. The Pole fastened his famous waist hold about Frank's stomach, but the title-holder kicked his way free. * * * Zbyszko flopped Gotch with a leg hold and was behind again for a brief few seconds, but Gotch turn- ed the tables when he reached down and tried for the toehold. Gotch kept his plan down for seven min- utes, but Zhyszko was wary and played strictly on th defensive. * * * 'Twice the Pole tripped Goteh, but could not hold lune, As the men feinted fora hold Gotch suddenly dived under and grabbed Zbyszko's toe in a wicked grip, He held on tight for a minute and then let go when the Pole kicked hip in the ribs. They both jumped to their feet at the sante instant and stood glaring at each other. Gotch be- gan to feint rapidly for the head with his left hand, but the Pole's toe was cruelly hurt and he backed away, at the same time starting to reach down to feel if the toe was broken. * * * . Gotch saw the action and rushed in like a mad bull. He caught Zbyszko in a neutral corner and heaved flint to the canvas with a thud, Quicker than a fish he clamp- ed on a bar aril and wrist lock, and one second later the man from Poland had both his shoulders slammed down on the canvas Tifnne ; 27 t)finutcs, 33 seconds, Canada's 44 ;rgo'.m" #Lt} it Look to Others Some Canadians of modest mind prefer to regard the fact that the Canadian dollar looks over the head—and not merely in the face --of the American dollar as a mark of the depreciation of the AmenTri- can dollar, signifying no special virtue of the Canadian dollar. 13itt if there is a single symbol of the results of Canada's hard work and the growth 'of Canadian self-con- fidence, it is perhaps to be found in the high value that the outside world now puts npon Canadian money. . Canada has' known booms --and the aftermath .cif booms -- before. They were the boons of physical pioneering and the westward ex-' tension of the frontier through the prairies to the l'alific, Canada's present hoont differs from its sev- eral foretunncrs ill the fact that it is continent-wic1&; it represents the extension of economic frontiers throughout a country that the pioneers had already opened up by road, rail, river and air.. Great developments, exploiting Canada's abounding natural re- sources, are proceeding in areas re- mote from each other and re:note, too, from major markets in the United States. , . No boom was ever painless, but the Canadian boom perhaps conies nearest to earning that distinction. Canada is not merely favoured with abundant material resources. It has had the good sense—or the good luck—to provide itself with good government. Its economic affairs have been handled with skill unex- ampled throughout the world. It has found, in .,the short space of two or three years, a degree of self-confidence that is the proper mark of a country entering upon the early stages of economic matur- ity. Already occupied with a load , of work that less vigorous count- ries night stretch over a gener- ation, Canada has the faith, and professes to have the capacity, to pro- ceed with the gigantic St. Law- rence Seaway scheme and to dis- regard Washington's refusal to participate. It would certainly be unwise to reach the conclusion that too much is being attempted too quickly. It is true that the defence programme has yet to make its full impact on the Canadian economy. But the rise in both industrial and agricultural productivity since the war has been so astonishing that Canada may well be able to provide guns, factories and butter all at the same time.—From The Eton - No • Little Man—Satisfying his curiosity by peering , down the business end of this giant saxes - phone, a prospective musician decides that there's no little man inside.
