HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1953-10-15, Page 2-- Some of us who live far from the ocean, look longingly at menus featuring fish, as most of there call for the sort of ingre- +lients almost impossible to get outside of the larger cities—lob- ster, oyster and so forth. But our own fresh -water fish are delicious eating -- provided you know how to treat them. For best ,flavor and texture, after the dS§h are scaled and cleaned and just before cooking, rub inside and out with salt and half a lemon. Trout au Bleu is a well-known Wench recipe.

Driving over a big hump we noticed a sign at the side of the road saying that from here on all water was flowing into the Arctic Ocean, which made us feel chilly enough to close the window, We also noticed that in the clear cool air of the North the car was picking up speed on those long long stretches of pavement without our pushing the gas. Time Honoured Manner Timmins is a quiet little place and people look peaceful and contented. As a matter of fact it struck us that they all seem to wear a gay little smile behind their whiskers like the prover- bial cat that has eaten the can- ary. They are happy and they tell you why as soon as you come in the door. Everybody is talking about Operation "Clean -Up" of last week, when the striking ruiners of Broulan - Reef raided the mine to deal with the scabs, brought in by the manager, in "the time honoured manner," The whole thing was carried out with the methodical preci- sion of the Commando raids the boys were taught to use in the last war. 17 Minutes 300 Hien were milling around 1 the police cars talking to the Provincials while 13 cars, park- ed along the road, quietly and unobstrusively filled up with five men each, At a ed off right lthrouven signal through e all gate up to the change house where the strike breakers were clean- ing up. It did rot take them long to finish the job although they did it with their bare fists and not, as the press reported, with sticks and bats. The scabs had those as they had been expect- ing something of the sort, Ten of the strike breakers were dragged along, packed in the cars to be dumped on the highway three miles away, The whole operation was over in 17 minutes. The mine manager Erred three shots at the last car and hit a tire. It was the only car in the whole convoy with self-sealing tires and therefore could drive on, As one of the men said after - SrnS s rds: "God must have been with us." Shoot to Maim. Timmins is a mining town and "union town and nothing in- terests the people as much as mining and union business. They realize that the companies are out to break the union and they are not going to have it. The manager of Broulan-Reef has armed the strike-breakers left in the mine and given them the order: "Shoot to maim. He has refused to follow the in- vitation of Mr. Daley, Ontario Minister of Labour, to come to Toronto and consult with him and union representatives. He is also reported to have said that he would hang up on Leslie Frost himself if he were to call him up. Old Memories. We had the opportunity to vis- it the picket lines with our old friend Bill Grummett, CCF ,member for Cochrane South in the Ontario Legislature. The boys are of good cheer, but they are wondering whether the times are coming back when workers were shot at because they wanted to organize. They are, however, resolved to stand by their rights and to defend their union. Farmers ' of Ontario might learn from the miners of Tim- mins how to handle scabs, the next time they call a milk strike or are locked out by the fruit and vegetable canning com- panies, This column welcomes sug. gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question.

PLENTY OF FISH There may still be a shortage of meat, but each Of the 2,400 million naen, women and children ori earth has some 39,600,000 fishes at his or her disposal. This emerges from the inves- tigations of experts in Oceano- graphy, whose results have just been published in /talyv. In every square kilometre of ocean there can be found an average of 65 million fishes. Since the total surface 61 the earths oceans amounts 'to 1,372 million square kilometres, the world's fish population is 80,000,000,000,- 000,000, Hlow One Man •a 'g' dl' A`r; r e t When you're in bed in a hospi- tal, you have time to do a lot of thinking. And that's when Philip Bagley, Cumberland County, threatened with blindness, thought himself right into a bigger and better market than ever for his garden produce. Phil was worried about his eyes, but he also fretted about 60 tons of Blue Hubbard squash back home, that was about to spoil on a slow market. He suggested to his wife that the squash might sell if it were cubed and packaged in one - pound plastic (poly -ethylene) bags. Mrs. Bagley asked wholesale grocers about it. "We don't know; can't tell until we try it," they told her. Neighbors helped slice and bag the squash, and the trial run was on. Today, Phil (with sight part- ially returned in one eye) has four wholesale -outlets, and others are waiting. Last summer he built a 28'x36' story -and -a -half washing and storage shed that has a full base- ment. He has a payroll of six persons. Phil says that by cubing and packaging his crop he nets about double the ordinary . wholesale price. When squash sold at $35 a ton wholesale, Phil grossed around $200 a ton, and netted $65 after labor, shrinkage, and spoilage. Going at full speed, his plant can turn out 2,000 one -pound packages of squash daily. Phil is now starting to pack carrots, too. "While I lay there in the hos- pital I decided that the reason city folks wouldn't buy squash was because the squashes were too large," he said. "I figured that one -pound packages would be about right. Looks like I hit it right on the nose." Gary Cooper, hero and Award winner of many Westerns, once tried to be a real cow -puncher, He was sacked from three suc- cessive jobs. Glenn Ford started out as a salesman, but was fired. It was the same with Humphrey Bogart. Errol Flynn, before his film career, was sacked from so many jobs that he has lost count. "Terrible Ter ' Didn't Last, Long Nowadays the boxing commis- sions of the various states put ell sorts of restrictions on Bights that under -age youngsters are permit-• ted to engage in. It wasn't always+ like that and no story of the ring is more to the point than Terry McGovern's. Terry fought at the turn eat the century. Some say that he started professionally when he was only a kid of sixteen. It itt a fact that by the time McGovern was seventeen he was already known as the "Terror; of the Ring." "Terrible Terry" they •nicknamed him, and the° young- ster richly deserved the name. He was the most savage and dy- namic fighter of his time. He feared absolutely no one: Before he was twenty-one years of age, Terry won the ban- tamweight championship of the world. That, in itself, is remark- able, Before he was twenty-one, he also won the featherweight title! Incredible, you say? That is not all for little Terry Mc- Govern was so great a fighter, that before he was old enough to vote, he not only copped the bantam crown and the feather- weight title but he also fought Frank Erne, the lightweight champion of the world—and knocked him • out! Indeed, Terry McGovern was a great little bruiser. He proudly strutted up and down the land with his ;*ties and his hard swinging fists, winning all the boxing glory that there was for him to get. And then, one day, in 1901, Terry came to Hartford, Connec- ticut, to fight an unknown nam- ed Young Corbett, a lad from Denver, Colorado. The fight looked like an easy touch for unbeatable Terry. He was sitting on the ,rubbing table in his dressing room, wait- ing for the call to go into the ring, when someone hammered on the door. A harsh voice on the other side growled, "Come on out of there, McGovern, you tramp, and take your licking." It was Young • Corbett, Little Terry McGovern, the greatest hitter and fighter of his weight in the fight game, turned white, not with fear but with rage. Ile sprang from the rubbing table.. "Let's get out of here!" he shout- ed to his handlers. "Come on, I want to get at. that guy!" Trainer, manager, seconds in- stantly obeyed the Terrible Terry. Not one of them but thought that he would tear the challenger limb front limb. But that night the boxing world was treated to one of its most shocking surprises. Before two rounds had pased by, the great, the invincible, the unbeat- able Terrible Terry McGovern lay unconscious on the canvas. the victim of a knockout at the hands of the boastful little man from Denver. And above hire, grinning down at his still form, stood Young Corbett saying, "7 told you you were a hu—— That "' That was the beginniuig of the end of the mighty atom of the ring. Terrible Terry McGovern never amounted to much after the beating he took at the hands of Young Corbett. And the sur- prising twist to the story is that, while McGovern won the ban- tamweight and featherweight championships of the world be- fore he was twenty-one, and knocked out the lightweight champion of the world before he was twenty-one, he was also • through and washed up as a fighter ---before he was twenty- one! +��F asz-- vcelf,,:. ��` miownan+v.w Here Comes Engine No. --This complex structure on dis - la - t a toy exhibit offers new fascination for model railroad enthu- siasts, Brian Allen, 6, properly dressed for the job, watches the modal trains make a spiral cline,* up the tower.
