New York City's Flushing
Meadow Park, site of the 1939-
40 World's Fair, has been se-
lected as the interim meeting
place of the UN General Assem-
bly. The huge skating rink
pictured above will soon be
renovated, at a ' cost of $1,250,-
000, to form the auditorium in
which the Assembly will con-
vene on Sept. 3. At right is an
air view of the park, with the
skating rink, once the "City of
New York" exhibit, pictured in
the background. The circular
foundation in the foreground
marks site of the Trylon and
Perisphere during the fair.
SPOTS OF SPORTS
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Six Bit Critic") .....r.
In a recent copy of Liberty
Magazine we ran across an item
that must have touched the hearts
of everybody ever connected with
the sports -writing racket, and es-
pecially the wives and families of
those who write sports for a living.
For it was about a certain contest-
ant in the Boston Marathon who
• arrived in Beantown so broke that,
to 'quote the article, "he had to
sleep on a pool table until he could
borrow ten dollars from a sports-
writer."
* t,
Just think of the agony of having
to doss on a rock -hard pool table•
for years and years and years!
*
In fact we used to have an al-
leged friend who — whenever any-
body would ask why we had
•adopted "Sixbits" as a writing alias
-would carefully explain that it
*as because this amount—seventy-
five cents—was the greatest sum of
money we were ever known to
possess at any one time.
* *
Something very rarely seen in
modern-day big -tine hockey was
on display at Maple Leaf Gardens
on Monday evening; and it came
like a welcome and stimulating
shot -in -the -arm to a lot of folks
who feel that a great deal of latter-
day sport has become pretty much
a ]natter of routine, There were
those Winnipeg Monarchs coming
out for the final period with the
scoreboard showing then facing a
three -goal deficit, and a very torrid
—in fact red-hot— Irish team out
there to guard that margin.
* *
In such a situation the natural
and sensible thing for the Western-
ers to do would be to tell them-
selves, "Well, we can't win them.
all" and then go .out and play
through that last twenty minutes
with one eye on the time -clock,
and both ears open for the 'gong,
conserving their strength and ener-
gies for some other evening when
such qualities might be of solve
practical use.
And did those Winnipeggers act
in any such sane and reasonable
manner? Well, not so that you
could notice it, They tore into those
St. Mikes as though it was the last
reel of the serial, instead of only ,
the second—as though the Irish
were just another gang from the
next whistle stop instead of one of
the greatest, maybe, junior teams
ever gathered together—and - as
though they had bet their last
dollar on themselves and knew that.
walking the rods was a long and
tough way of getting home.
Of course they failed to snake it
—but they came so close to doing
so that they caused much mental
anguish, and not a few heart -at-
tacks, among those who were
carrying a little ticket on our East-
ern pets. In this cynical day and
a„s it has become the fashion to
laugh scornfully at what is known
as "the old college try"—to turn
up the nose at the spirit of the
gaarter-back who manfully hollers
"Conte on gang, we'll get then] yet"
with his team four touchdowns be-
hind and just twenty seconds to
play.
* t,
Etat to see such a spirit out there
in action—and almost managing to
wangle through—vas truly refresh -
5.
ing in a clay -when the first question
asked about any athlete is not
"How good is he?" but, rather,
"Ilow niuch dough is he getting?"
We are inclined to view with real
alarm the report from New York
that the cops in that fair city are
under orders to arrest horse -lovers
when two or more of then are
found reading a single copy of any
of the racing sheets. What about
those Four .Freedoms we've been
hearing so much about the past five
or six years, although maybe not
quite so much the last five or six
months? What about the inalien-
able right of every gent to make a
sucker of himself in his own way,
for which millions of our bravest
and best have fought and bled and
eaten canned rations? What about
the plight of the .noble and self-
sacrificing race of handbook -
makers, faced with a fate much
worse than death—having, to go to
work?
* *
It's nothing less than terrible;
because it is a well-known fact that
nobody can possibly take a proper
and scientific interest in horse-
racing without intensive study of
the form -charts and other data,
most of which might just as well be
printed in Greek for all the sense
they make to the majority of their
readers. And everybody should
know—even politicians and police-
men—that it isabsolutely impossi-
ble to study racing charts, scratch
sheets and other literature properly
without at least six other horse-
_ lovers hanging over your shoulders,
breathing in your face and filling
your- ears full of romantic tales
about the ten -to -one shot that just
got ,beat a• dirty snoot the day
before.
Ah, well, these are troublous
times. All the world seems in a
turmoil. Nothing seems to be right.
The nylons generally seem to go to
legs that would look better in over-
alls. And it may be, that, before
brighter conditions appear, we must
face days even sadder than this one.
We'll be hack one week from today
doing our best to make good on
that last prediction.
Canada Completes
UNRRA Payments
Canada has paid he, two contri-
butions to the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
tion totalling $154,000,000 and no
further vote will be required this
session. •
Under the provisions of the con-
tributions 90 percent has to be
spent in this country for goods to
be shipped to need) nations and
the remainder • goes into a free
fund to be spent as Unrra decides.
However, the free fund, contribut-
ed by all the nations in Unrra, will
snake extensive purchases in Can-
ada because the goods are avail-
able here.
The olir,'.ases include all kinds
of cereals, canned goods, agricul-
tural implements, clothing and a
long list of other commodities ur-
gently needed in war ravaged
countries.
Any shortage Unrra is experien-
cing in funds is due to failure of
other nations to pay their contri-
butions as promptly as Canada,
said an official.
40 -Hour Week
In Great Britain
45 To 48 -Hour Week General
Now; Intermediary Step To
40 -Hour Week Advised
The 40 -hour working week has
almost become standard in Canada
and the United States, any hours
worked after that being suject to
tine -and -half payments, comments
the S,. Thomas Times -Journal. It
is interesting to note, therefore,
that while the Trades Union Con -
g ess of Great Britain has as its
ultimate objective a 40 -hour week,
the unions are advised not to press
for acceptance of these terms just
now. The 45 to 48-hour week is
general in industries and even
more in stores , and the Congress
recommends that there be an in-
termediary step of a 43 or 44 -hour
week before coining down to
Recovery First
In addition to that., ..ongress
..rging skilled men over 65, and
women, to remain or rejoin their
employment until the tide of ex=
pc rt trade is definitely turned.
It is a dernonstr, . ul the re-
rnarkable spirit of British workers,
which was manifested all through
the war, that they are so willing
to co-operate with employers and
the Government instead of fight-
ing them., Trade union leaders
like Lewis and Reuther would pro-
bably be thrown in the harbor if
their type attempted to gain power
in Britain.
British workers believe in recov-
ery first and betterment after

wards.
