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

Timmins, Ont., Aug. 1, 1953
Being inquisitive by nature
and always prepared to stick our
nose into other peoples' business
we came all the way up here to
learn how a strike is being run.
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,

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,

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."

winner of many Westerns, once

He was sacked from three suc-
cessive jobs. Glenn Ford started

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!
