It calve into being only three years
ago, as winter's answer to Little League
baseball, bat today, Middy Basketball has
grown with giant strides as. another de-
velopment calculated to interest the kids
of our nation in clean competitive sport,
and thereby combat the inroads of juve-
nile delinquency.
Canada hasn't quite .kept step with. the United States,
even comparatively, In the growth of Biddy Basketball. Nor,
in fact, has the game grown in Canada to the s''.rue extent
as Little League Baseball. But it is making rapid headway.
For there are about twenty-seven Canadian cities with Biddy
Basketball fairly well organized. There are probably twelve
to fifteen hundred participants whose ages according to regu-
lations range from thirteen years down to nine. Most of these
cities are in Quebec, Ontario and. the Western Provinces.
Most of the Canadian Biddy Basketball Clubs are orga-
nized and sponsored by Social Centres, Boys Associations and
the odd Community. project. The schools have not as yet taken
it up in any official way. The physical welfare of the boy is
taken into consideration and a careful cheek is made so that
'they do not strain themselves, tither physically or emotionally.
In the United States, the growth 'of the game has been
almost fantastic. From the,original 16 teams in one state it
has.spread, until now 'it has store than 10;000 small fry playing
01'1200 teams in 44 states. And it is being played in 11 foreign
countries.
The program is regulation basketball in miniature, '.de-
signed specifically for the younger set. The rules are 'tai'lored
to their measurements and inim:ature strength, such. as lower-
ing the hoops a foot and a :ha'l'f;, shortening the fotil Tine three
feet, and . using a smaller ba1'l,
The appeal 'of this youth .movement is almost irresistable.
And it has received great e,it impetus from Jay
Archer, dormer
State Teachers 'College star, who tours the 'epuntry .spreading
the gospel of sport. Canada has gone along without such in-
spirational help, 'carried on the wave,of-Little League ibaselefill
success, but as in baseball, Canadian teams will soon be ready
to compete in the national tournaments. held annually across
the line, just as did our champion Little Leaguers :compete
with distinction in 'the Little League baseball play-offs last
autumn. • ' ' •
These juvenile :leagues are great things for the youngsters.
They cut across 'race, creed, and 'other 'beliefs and .social dis-
tinctions in a fashion that is more truly 'democratic than pre-
vails in anything 'outside sport. They start .our kids off on
truly democratic Tines, •something that only sport, the great
leveller, can accomplish.,

How To Protect Your Woolens
Joint research by the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture and the
Army Quartermaster Corps has
developed a process of using
DDT that protects the Army's
stored woolens from insect dane-
alge for as long as five years.
DDT -treated uniform cloth
showed no evidence of damage
even though hungry fabrics
pests have been placed on the
cloth each year during the past
five years. Actually 50,000 carpet
beetles and 25,000 clothes moths
were used in the tests, which com••
pared. several wool - protecting
methods.
Spraying with a 5 -per -cent
DDT oil solution offers the home-
-maker an easy, safe, and low-
cost way of protecting ,stored
'woolens. Although not so thor-
ough as the .Army's DDT -impreg-
nation method, sprays, neverthe-
less, guarantee many years of
protection from fabric pests for
:home -stored woolen s. Wool
clothes that are in use, and rugs
end draperies' that are subject
to wear, require seasonal treat-
anent'and retreatment after they
have been dry-cleaned or washed.
A simple procedure for: the.
'bonne -maker is to hang the wool-
ens on a 'clothesline and spray
them lightly but thoroughly. Af-
'ter the treated woolens are dry,
-they can be stored in closets,
boxes, or chests, Spraying DDT
on the interior wall, floor, and
shelf 'surfaces of closets, and on
both. 'inside and 'outside surfaces
.of ,storage containers. gives ad
ditioiial • protection from the
larvae of clothes moths and car-
pet, beetles. Wool carpets, rugs,
and' draperies can also be pro-
tected from these fabric pests the
year -round' 'by -being 'sprayed
with DDT, A simple hand spray
er can be used for all these jobs.
Applying the 5 -per -cent DDT
spray until 'the wool has become
thoroughly moistened assures
adequate protection. However,
do not soak fabrics with spray,
because too much DDT may
leave a white deposit on the cloth
after the spray has dried. This is
especially true on dark -colored
woolens.
Persons applying the spray
should stand as far from it as
possible, and should not breathe
the DDT -oil solution. They should
' wash their hands and faces with
soap and warm water after spray-
ing is completed. Care should be
taken also to avoid getting the
spray on foods and utensils when
the spraying is done indoors.
Experiments indicate that com-
plete protection from carpet -
beetle and clothes -moth larvae
is gained only by treating all the
cloth with DDT. Rolls of fabric
only partially treated were da-
maged -to varying degrees.

EXPLANATION
Arthur Rubinstein, the great
pianist, was such a social lion
in :Paris • that he scarcely found
tithe to practise. In desperation
he instructed his butler to tell
all callers, regardless of their
importance, that he was not at -
home. The . recognized leader of
boulevard society phoned one
-morning while Rubinstein was
playing one of his most i:empes-
tuous and difficult standy-bys,
"Themaster is not in," said the
butler dutifully. "Poppycock,"
snapped the g>.ieat lady, "I hear
hull playing distinctly." "Oh, no,'
madam," the butler assured her,
"That's. just .' me dusting the
keys."

How "Silent Night" -
Came To Be Written.
Just east of St. Anton. the Arl-
berg -Orient express stops .at a
tiny, , biscuit -yellow verandahed
station with swinging flower bas-
kets, standing all by itself in an
immense Alpine landscape and
serving no visible hinterland.
The station is marked 'Oetztal'..
and it is in fact that point of
parture for Tyrol's. longest later •
-
al valley. Though. barely access-
ible, the Oetz is o ne of those
parts of the world history fre-
quently visits. From the Borth
no one': can enter it without the
knowledge of its inhabitants;
from the southnothing without
the natural endowments of a
chamois can enter it at all:... .
'The southern end of the valley
is sealed, off by the ice and snow
of the Oetztaler Alps, whose'
peaks range from eight to twelve
thousand feet. , . .
It was an organ -mender of the
Oetz who picked up a simple
little tune in Oberndorf, in dis-
tant Salzburg, one winter day in
the eighteenth century when he
was repairing the organ in St.
Nikolas' church. He learned it
while the parish priest and the
choirmaster were trying it out
on • a guitar, and it haunted him
as he walked hone to the Oetz. _
Sitting down to rest on a rock at
the head of the valley, he met a
small girl, one of a family of
four half-grown children whose
voices were the pride of the fam-
ous Oetztal. Singing Society.
faistening to tate tune ne was
j umining, s b e promptly asked
what it was, and learned it, mel-
ody and words, on the spot. The
organ -mender went his' way 'and
forgot the song, but the girl and
her brothers and- sisters, when
they went out the following
Christmastime to sell gloves at
the Soutll. German Christmas
fairs, began to sing it when
trade was• slack in order tr, draw
a crowd. The crowds they drew
were enormous. To one such the
choirmaster of the court of Sax-
ony was attracted. The song so
struck him that he presented it,
with the four singers, at a court
concert before the. King and
Queen of Saxony. It was first
arranged for orchestration, then
for great choirs; and eventually
the King of Prussia offered a
prize for the discovery of the
author of what haci become the
most popular Christmas carol of
the Western world. The author
was Franz Gruber; the s o n g, .

'Not a Dance
The Encyclopedia Britannica
describes "Dancing" as "the
rhythmical movement of any or
all parts of the body in accord-
ance with some scheme of ince
dividual or concerted action
which is expressive of emotions
or ideas."
According to this description .
the farm movement is certainly
not a dance. It is nota rhyth-
mical movement, it is not in ac-
cordance with some scheme,
there is no concerted action and
it is pretty -bare of ideas.
Ruffled Feelings.
It is distressing to see the con-
fusion in the hinds of the farm-
ers concerning matters of im-
por tante to the business of ag-
riculture, indeed, of the nation.
A typical 'example of un-
realistic thinking is the recent
discussion in- a certain County
Council, which .first passed a re-
solution urging a ban on the im-
portation and sale of vegetable
oils harmful to the dairy indus-
try;, and then started a debate
on' 'whether the inmates- of''thee•

Mitre the decision was made, "
"Old Oat Burners"
One council member said he
could not see any difference in
taste between butter and mar-
garine and that the Board of

instead of butter.

• What then, in the name of the

of trying to find new markets
to make up for the lost ones.
In the salve council. meeting
it was said that butter is too
dear. Maybe it is. But if it is,
why is it?

organizations to do the job.

of food and which is trying to
get by on a diet of carbohydrates,
consisting mostly of farinaceous
starches like those of wheat
and rice, in a world Which is in
bitter need of every grain of
animal protein it can satte for
human consumption, hundreds of
thousands of tons of the pre-
