HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1946-04-18, Page 3$70,000 BULL ARRIVES IN CANADA THE BABY BRIDEGROOM—PITTODRIE UPRIGHT Five hundred dollars wouldn't buy a hair on the tail of Pittodrie Upright, a shorthorn bull which has arrived in Saint John, N.S., from Scotland. Known to Scotsmen as the "baby bridegroom," Pittodrie Upright cost his owner, Ralph Smith, Missouri rancher and lumber king, nearly $70,000, and the total bill will probably amount to $190,000 before he takes up residence at the Sni-a-Bar ranch. Insurance ,alone cost about $5,000. To justify his ovfner's huge investment, young Upright is expected to produce 50 to 70 calves a year, and his breeding life is expected to last about six or seven years. Down in Missouri he will hob -nob with pedigree short- horns of aristocratic breeding from Scottish herds. Owner Smith hopes that he ' will promote U.S. ' commercial cattle of the finest quality in the rich Missouri valley land. Meanwhile, Upright hopes that his reputation as "the best shorthorn bull in all Scotland" will carry some weight in the U.S. By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Six Bit Critic") • Seems as though our Russian al- lies still have quite a long way to go before they catch on to proper sports etiquette; and learn the cor- rect method of dealing with cert- ain sporting situations that crop up from time to time. For here we have a Soviet soccer team that travels to England, the very cradle of the game, and comes up With a stark of two wins, two ties, and na losses against top-ranking Old Country clubs — truly a very smart record and one probably never equalled. So what do the Russians do? They go back house and put the blast on the English, accusing theta of a cold recep- tion, rough play, poor sportsman- . ship and a' out seven other things, none of them complimentary. * * * Now a Canadian, or a British, or a United States team, travelling to foreign climes, would never be guilty of anything like that. No indeed! Athletes from those countries, svith their vouch longer tradition of sportsmanship behind them, would have saved those kinds of squawks to use as an alibi after sonic trip on which they got the living tar beat out of them. * *- * however, the whole thing is just one more chunk of evidence — if any were needed—as to tixe immense value of international sport competition in promoting brotherhood, amity and good -fel- lowship t.utong the peoples of the world. So coxae on with those Olympic games! We can't hardly wait. All things considered, perhaps it is just as well that those rickety old Hamilton Tigers knocked off Montreal Royals in three straight and are not,.liable to be displaying their wares in these parts for a while. Down at Maple Leaf Gardens last Satrday you could see fans wandering around with that dazed, 'How long has this been going on?' expression on their pans; and it wouldn't take many niore samples of the real hockey the Tigers play to make a lot of folks suddenly wake up and holier, "Hey, what is this stuff they've been feeding us these past few years?" * * * To us the most interesting fea- ture of any sport is watching the antics of those who follow it—awl for that purpose the noble pastime of horse -racing tops thein all 1)y many lengths. For The Sport of King's scents to have something that brings out any latent streak of nuttiness in a fuller degree than anything eke. * * * There was the matt we knetc, for instance, whose first action on entering the paddock at \Voodbina was always to go and solemnly rub his knuckles on the bark of a certain tree. Ile claimed that do- ing so brought him luck; and may- be it did, although we recall that he was generally broke around the fifth race every day, even as yoti and we. Then there was the lady who re- ligiously attended the races every day and never once, in all the years we knew her, watched a single race — probably never even set eyes on a horse. No matter whether it was a King's Plate or a $700 claiming race, she Would be down under the stand, in an alley- way .leading to the rnutuels, with her eyes shut, -clutching tightly itt her fist the ticket on the horse she had wagered on, pulling for it to come down in front. * * * Watching her, you'd swear .that she was suffering the tortures of the da tt.nblessed. She had plenty of money, and tS'inniug or losing her bets didn't make any real difference to her. Yet there she was, day after day, track after . track—in fact, the only way you could have kept her away would be by main force. * is And—although he is by no means in the class of the nuts we have mentioned — we once knew a matt who, while he took an in • tense interest in the start of every race, didn't give a hoot about how they finished. * * It was at Thorncliffe one after- noon that Marshall Cassidy—then the official starter on Eastern Canadian tracks—invited us to go over and watch hila start a race over at the six furlong post. It was the fifth or sixth race of the day; and on our way across the infield we happened to mention something about the result of a previous race. To our amazement Cassidy didn't know what horse had wan that race—or any of the others. His business was to get them away to a good start, After that — well. he wasn't greatly in- terested. What Is A Subsidy And Who Pays It? just as a national debt is some- thing we owe ourselves, so is a sub- sidy a tax that we all pay, says the Hamilton Spectator. It is often very much the concern of the poli- ticians that the public should just forget that fact, but when they start falling over themselves in adjust- ments, then it is time to take note. Now that the subsidy has been taken off milk, it makes no differ- ence to the producer, but the con- sumer pays the difference. Who was paying the difference before? "Government," of coarse; but our olcl friend "Government," using the taxpayers' viz., the consumers' mo- ney to pay it, The joyful thing about it for "Government" is that anything that is not immediately visible doesn't seem to bother peo- ple so ouch -- until they soddenly wonder what's going on about their taxes and the cost of living.

A germ, streptococcus agalactial, is respon- sible for the chronic infectious foram of the disease. * * * .as pointed out in a previous column, with the increased con- sutnption of fluid milk, the pro- duction of butter would fall off considerably,, This has been prov- en in the latest production reports. In Southern Ontario production as of the same dates in 1945, has dropped off approximately 428,997 lbs. * * * . potatoes were looked upon as something unfit for food two centuries ago, at which time the nickname "SPUD" was applied to our now major staple product. Did you know that S -P -U -D stands for the "Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet"? HEADS NEWSPAPERS Philip S. Fisher of the Ottawa Citizen was elected president of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper as- sociation at the annual meeting in Toronto. First vice-president is H. G. Kimber of the Toronto Globe and Mail; second vice-president is H. L. Garner of the Peterborough Examiner, and W. J. J. Butler of the Globe and Mail was named treasurer. Railway Renamed Ontario Northland Changing tite name of the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Rail- way to that of tate Ontario Northland is designed to avoid confusion with another line in the United States with identical initials, says the Windsor Star. The new title, however, is to be welcomed for other reasons. ".Cite old name seemed to have a local, restrictive flavor. It bore the impression of an unimportant little spur line. As the Ontario Northland the road will carry, in its title, a sense of the broad ex- panses of the province. The words have a romantic ring, they display imagination that will be attractive to visitors. They are, in every way, better. UNO Incorrect It's Just I.J.N. Now Von may be accustomed to see- ing the United Nations Organiza- tion abbreviated to UNO—but you can say farewell to the term right in this sentence. The United Na- tions has ruled that no such abbre- viation correctly exists. The final "0" is out, for although the United Nations is an organization, the word "organization" does not pro- perly appear in its title. Prom now on, at the request of United Nations officials, the ab- breviation will be U.N. Pronounce if as you see fit, but don't mistake it for the negative prefix.

Sherbourne ni (Invitee Tel, RA. 4133 Scientists Hail Great Discovery The denaturation of plutoniutti, and of uranium -235, announced in Washington last week. is the great discovery that scientists have been hoping for to make it possible to produce atomic power. This discovery may mean that a piece of metal the size of a water- melon will produce as much heat as hundreds of tots of the uran- ium now used to stake atomic fires. The huge atomic piles in Wash- ington state, each about the bulk of a small pyramid, produced enough heat nearly to equal the peak electric power expected from tite Grand Coulee dam. But this atomic heat was useless for power because it was spread over such a large area. Y Heat that makes power, such as 'boiler fires, is concentrated in a small area. It was not possible, 'rhea the war et,ded, to use a small amount of uranium -235 or of plutonium to snake an atomic fire because such concentrated pieces of either metal would instantly ex- plode. Denaturing is described as plode, but without stripping their rendering the metals unable to ex - ability to produce beat by tite ex- plosion of their atoms. The discovery means that prob- ably a few hundred pounds of thet purified metals will operate a. largo power, plant for a year, or for years, instead of the millions tisf tons of old-time fuer.
