• This is the story of the little gi1.1 who
slept.
Her name is Gladys Jeanie Priestly, a
swimmer from the suburbs of Montreal,
youngest athlete ever to make a Canadian
Olympic team, for Gladys was only 14
years old when she was named to carry
Canada's colors into the Helsinki tank.
She didn't win anything there, but Olympic officeds will
recall for a long time the calm approach of this pretty mks to
the Olympic selections,
It was the night the Canadian Olympic selection committee
was making the final choices for the Olympic teams. The swim -
niers and track field athletes paced their hotel corridors or drank
coffee in order to stay awake and hear the choices. But ieannie
went home and fell fast asleep.
Shortly after three o'clock in the morning, results ui the
swimming committees meeting were announced, with Jeannie
winning a berth of the four member girls team. Coach Malcolm
Ross thought she would be overjoyed to hear the news. He
awakened her, but Jeannie merely murmured sleepily: "leant so?"
and fell back into slumber.
One of the youngest swimmers ever to compete In the
Olympic was Jeannie. Though she had trned 14 only a few
days before the three-day title meet at Toronto from which
Olympic selections emerged, she splashed to four junior Cana-
dian records in three free -style events, In the 200 -yard free
style she set a new National mark in the afternoon heats and
then broke that record again in the finals at night.
Her times in tl. e 100 -yards free style and 300 -yards free ,l tee
were faster than the Senior records. Since returning, she has
smashed several Quebec provincial tank marks, and won the
Canadian National Exhibition 100 -yards free style, defeating Joan
Campbell who was right up 'with the Ieaders of the women's
3 -mile professional swim shortly before.
The youngest daughter of Verdun police captain Ray Priestly
is a mina natural since she was paddling in the water by herself
at one year old and while competing in a tots meet at the age
of ten she was spotted by Malcolm Ross who asked her parents
if he could train her.
Train her he did, but aquatic students will tell you that 10
years is a ripe old age to start on a swimming career. By then,
say experts, the swimmer has missed the championship boat.
A little girl from India, named Saha, competed at the Olympics
end she was only 12. Barbara Stark of Berkeley, Cal., was the
youngest American at the Olympics and she had reached the ripe
old age of 15.

prom a recent issue of the
Toronto Globe & Mail we lift
is couple of items which seem to
tie in very well with one another.
The first is a dispatch from Fort
William, which reads, in part, as
follows: •
t; # *
Fort William, Oct. 20.—A 27 -
year -old Fort William man, Mel-
vin (Bud) Barnwell, was shot
dead before his bride's eyes in
the bush, 20 miles east of here
Sunday evening, when he was
mistaken for a deer.
Provincial police said Robert
Webb, 17, also of Fort William,
mistook Barnwell, who was wear-
ing a dark brown windbreaker,
for a deer, as Barnwell walked
down an old bush road toward
hills. He fired with a .300 rifle,
and the bullet struck Barnwell
the shoulder, piercing both
gags. He died a few moments

Our second piece of borrowing
a', If you prefer, thievery, is
from Bob Turnbull's widely -read
rOutdoor Trail" column. Bob is
also writing about the type of
individual who arms himself with
a gun and an outdoor outfit and,
probably on the strength of that,
puts himself away to all -who will
listen as a worthy descendant .of
Nimrod,• the son of Cush, that
mighty hunter before the Lord.
Mr. Turnbull's tale reads like
this;
• • .,
On the past two weekends
three. Toronto men—Dr. William
Dewar, Hank Lamport and Cee
Forsyth' --have gone duck shoot-
ing near Honey Harbor. They
have taken a nice bag of ducks
from each expedition, but they
also have had the none too plea-
sant experience of being shot at
—deliberately. Not just once,
either.
First weekend the trio was
settled in their blind when along
came a boatload of hunters sail-
ing blithely among the sets of
decoys. One of the Toronto party
rose to wave of the intruders.
Up jumped one of the men in the
boat. He unlimbered a rifle and
let fly at the blind.' A bullet

Grine Reminder -Citizens of Cincinnat; ore reminded of the tragic
consequences of jaywalking by this grim little identification card,
thousands of which have been distribute'dl throughout the city.
Those who fail to heed the reminder to use the crosswalks, have
the small comfort of knowing they'f t+e indentified in case of
accident,.
zinged between two of the n'ien.
The gunboat then sped away.
Later, back at their nearby
cottage, the trio's peace was shat-
tered by another shot whipping
past the window.
Last weekend came a third in-
cident. Five well -armed buckos
came tramping down the point
on which the cottage is located.
The Toronto men, a bit peeved
by now, traipsed out to tell the
trespassers they were on private
property. So what happened? A
cocky, young punk levelled his
gun at Bill Dewar, and with fin-
ger on the trigger, demanded
with not a few oaths just what.
he was going to do about it. Af-
ter a couple of ugly minutes of
this impasse the ugly quintet
shouldered arms and swaggered
away.
You can't blame the Toronto
men for being fighting mad at
this sort of thing. They are posi-
tive that in all three instances
the gunmen were not local
people, but parties from the city.
Nor were they all ignorant
youngsters, but mostly mature
men.
Things have come to a .pretty
pass when decent sportsmen
have to fear death or injury from
deliberate gunplay. Makes one
wonder if some of these hunting
deaths are really. accidental. Get-
ting back to the boat -blind incid-
ent, what was a hunter doing
out on the water with a loaded
rifle, anyway?
Farmers have suffered from
this sort of hooliganism for years.
Little wonder they have scant
regard for so-called sportsmen
from the city and are in no mood
todifferentiate between the hon-
est citizen and : the gangster. It',a
a serious situation and I'n's will-
ing to wager the upcoming
pheasant shoot will be a dilly
for mayhem. Yet what do we, or
the authorities, do about it?
Nothing much. The hooligan is
winning, and his victory eventu-
ally will be the defeat of the
true sportsman—more posted
land and less hunting.
* * *
Bob Turnbull has put the
whole thing so much better and
more clearly than we could ever
hope to do that we have little
to add. Except this. About 90
per cent of the folks who talk of
themselves as "SPORTSMEN"
couldn't even find the word in a
large -type dictionary, let alone
define it. And if they were to
bring a few of these careless
shooters up on, a charge of man-
slaughter or murder — and make
it stick — it wouldn't be more
than they deserve.

MIESTER.51 OF TIIE ROARING
DESERT
In the Kalahari Desert, near
the .south-east corner, the travel-
ler may stop bewildered at a
roaring that meets his ears. The
sand :roars in this area, and at
certain times of the day ,can
be likened to thunder in the
distance.
A very loud roar can be pro-
duced by heaping the sand, sit-
ting on the slope and sliding
down in a series of slow jerks.
By moving the sand slowly down
the slope a hum is heard. The
hum ceases when the sand stops
moving.
Some time ago samples of the
sancl were taken in bags to Pre-
toria :for examination. As the
bags were tilted and the sand
ran out a roar filled the room.
The roar was lost after a few
Weeks.

WITHOUT DRAWING BREATH
Recently Franz Binder, of Mu-
nich, won a beer -drinking con-
test in that city of great drinkers
by consuming 101/4 pints in ex-
actly five minutes. Perhaps war
and rationing have affected the
capacity of German drinkers, for
in the past such an effort would
have aroused the contempt of
those who could really drink.
In 1602, a Frenchman, Mare-
chal de Bassolnpierre, drank 13
bottles of wine from his riding -
boot without a pause while toast-
ing the 13 cantons of Switzer-
land, and history tells us that
Novellus Torquatus drank 3 gal-
lons of wine at a single draught
without pausing to take a breath.
The act was witnesed by the Em-
peror Tiberius. Wine was, of
course, a lot cheaper than nowa-
days, but it was also stronger.
Pierre Gaspard Sisson, who
rose from private in the French
army to the rank of general,
drank 16 pint bottles of wine
for breakfast for 22 years.
