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.

IT'S TRUE THAT ...
to meet the urgency of the
world wheat situation,- most coun-
tries wtih substantial surpluses of
wheat for export have applied, or
are in the process of applying,
various programs and controls de-
signed to increase the total sup-
plies ,moving into export channels.
Canada's contribution continues at
a steady pace to the tune of 35 mil-

Citizen was elected president of the
Canadian Weekly Newspaper as-
sociation at the annual meeting in
Toronto. First vice-president is H.

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.

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.
