The toe belongs to the greatest shot- putter the world has ever known, big Parry O'Brien of Southern California University, Olympic champion and world record holder in the business of heaving the 16 -pound missile far distance. Just how did a toe become important to a shot-putter? You might ask. And the story is this: In 1950, O'Brien had set a national college freshman rec- ord of 53 ft. 10% in. Instead of being satisfied, his coach, Jess Mortensen began experimenting with O'Brien to the extent that by the athlete's sophomore year his putting style had been completely rebuilt. Under the new style Parry's right toe is the key to his success. Most shot putters stand squared away in the ring but when he puts the shot O'Brien's big toe is pointed toward the rear of the circle. Among other things this means that his heel and back are to the direction of the put. Mortensen believes this vastly improved O'Brien leg drive. Whatever did it, progressively this young stalwart has broken the National Collegiate Athletic shotput record, set a new mark for the National A. A. U., established the all-time Olympic record, and beaten dime Fuch's world record. His most recent mark, when this was written, was two and three- quarter inches beyond the 59 -foot nark. Back in 1904, Ralph Rose was putting the 16 -pound shot appoximately 49 feet, at the time a tremendous heave which nobody believed would ever be excelled. Rose, a giant of a man, put the pellet 48 feet 7 inches to win the Olympic title. O'Brien's title -winning and record smashing Olympic heave was just beyond the 57 -foot mark, But that was merely a start. Today's O'Brien, with his toe working smoothly to help pro- vide great leg -drive in his push -off, is getting closer and closer to the 60 -feet mark, and may be able to achieve this, come the next Olympics. Or perhaps sooner. At any rate, he's one athlete of whom you can truthfully say, he's the greatest the world has ever seen, and prove it by figures. Recently, a fraction of an inch was added to Les Steers' high -jump record of 6 feet 11 inches, and even though a tech- nical flaw barred the new record, it indicates that techniques have improved leaps and bounds, particularly in field events, Yoin' comments and suggestions for this column will be weleomo4 by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Corvert House, 431 Yonga St„ Toronto. DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO 1 .P1 in 1 by The most important achieve- ment of organized farming in Ontario since the end of the war was the establishment of the On- tario Hog Marketing .Agency witA its sales organization United Livestock Sales, Ltd. It was very successful m main- taining price even against re- peated' attempts by the packers to bring prices down. To enable the agency to keep up the good work it is important that hog producers continue to give it full support by following its direc- tives. Send Hogs to Yards One of the difficulties encoun- tered by the agency in estab- lishing prices is the recurrent shortage of hogs at the stock- yards. Too many hogs have been shipped direct to packing ),)ants. In an open letter, published in last week's Rural Co-operator. O. D. Black, manager of the sales agency, explains the situation to all hog producers. After reviewing the develop- ments from the January price of 23 cents to the present price of 35 cents, Mr. Black says that he is "not worried about being able to keep the value of your prod- uct at this higher level than it has been for a number of years, PROVIDED we get the hogs at the RIGHT PLACE and at the RIGHT TIME in order to do so." Mr. Black thinks that every hog producer should be aware of the complications and contin- ues: "Regardless of what you may hear from any source the basic fact is that — price is es- tablished at the public market," "It, therefore, follows that in order to create and establish the true valve of your hogs, it is essential 'to have sufficient hogs "Bhe not only wants to see her tett in hie eyes, but In hitt firms, too!" ISSUE 38 1953 •IIZZatairjuir: rse Sense.. FLUS at the public market and we have consequently ordered trans- porters to deliver hogs to the Ontario Stockyards who have been going elsewhere with your hogs." Rebates to Transporters In an interview to the Co- operator Mr. Black stated that the transporters have shown an unwillingness to comply with the directives.. Some farmers suspect that the reason for this is that an unde- sirable practice of rebates to some of the transporters has crept into the marketing of hogs, reports the Rural Co-operator. Generally hogs sold a. the yards fetch higher prices than those delivered direct to the plants. Last week the market price was at a record high of $37. while at the plant hogs were paid for at $35 to $36.50. Appeal to Producers Mr. Black ends his letter with a strong appeal to all producers: "Now you, the individual hog producer, probably not fully aware of the situation, may not want this. We are concerned — in that through lack of complete knowledge on your part — you All Dolled Up—The Best Dressed': Dog at the Canadian National Exhibition. Kathleen O'Connord her dog "Sally" won the Ballard Award and 15 silver dollars for the best dressed dog in the Big Mutt Show. may become the innocent con- tributing factor • to lower hog prices" "In order to maintain the price of hogs at this comparatively high level, after complete study, we cannot advise you too strong- ly to insist that your trucker ad- heres to the directives emanating from this company for the sound a n d well -considered reasons stated above." Necessity of Co-operation Under a marketing system, which is supposed to be regu- lated by supply and demand, two or three large buyers combining forces, could secure undue ad- vantages over a multitude of small sellers. As a matter of fact this used to happen and has led to the es- tablishment of the one Central Marketing Agency acting, for all producers. I stands to reason that only through co-operation with and full support to the Agency of each and every producer suc- cessful operations can be carried on.

NO MATCHES, SO LANDS PLANE As he was planting out rows of potatoes in a field adjoining a country road near Dillingen, Germany, a farm -labourer heard the sound of an approaching aeroplane's engine. A moment later a shall 'plane made a perfect landing on the roadway, and out stepped the young civilian pilot, an unlighted cigarette dangling from his lips. He walked across to the wor':- er, offered him a cigarette, and said: "Got a light, please?" The surprised man gave him a box of matches, the pilot lit up and re- turned them, hurried back to his machine and took off. Mine 9� *^ DoHars TFly To ars The race to design and build a "space station" is on. Scientists the world over are scrambling to complete plans for the first station, in such a race as the world has not seen since the splitting of the atom demand- ed a bomb. The nation, or group of nations, which succeeds in establishing this earth satellite could beat off all attempts of a rival power to do likewise and hold the entire earth in subju- • gation, Hurtling around the earth at a speed of some 18,000 m,p h. the space station could bombard any city with guided missiles fitted with atomic _ warheads. There could be no defence against such attack, the satellite itself being out of range of anything but Dr. Walter Dornberger. fam- Ill>s ass., the scientist responsible for ' the vicious V-2 rockets which showered upon London in World War II, is now working for America, advising upon the development of guided missiles. The doctor has predicted that within twenty years man will have fashioned a rocketship capable of the trip to Mars and back, via an earth satellite. But, lie adds, this treat solar adven- ture will probably never take place, for it would cost nc less than £3,000,000,000 — perhaps •more! Certainly no single air- craft company could foot such a bill, but to a government — with the military side in mind — it is a different matter. This man-made moon could be the perfect international "police- man." Under the direction of U.N.O., no Power could under- take secret preparations for war, without being observed. The space station could bring peace to the earth, £3,000,000,- 000 does not seem much to spend upon the conquest of warfare. Since the Korean flare-up, the United States has spent nearly five times that sum upon rearm- ament! r.r�e6742,1 ca res F;r� AND W NMI SAP TO BRITISH PORTS: First Class from $192 Tourist Class from $140 ThAFO-Senson argon VESSEL From MONTREAL ONIGS TO FRENCH PORTS: (First Class from $199.50 Tourist Class from $145 From QUEBwfi " ASCANIA SCYTHIA FRANCONIA ASCANIA SCYTHIA FRANCONIA, ASCANIA *SCYTHIA BRITANNIC *FRANCONIA MAURETANIA *SAMARIA MEDIA QUEEN ELIZABETH ASCANIA Wed.
