A former military club at Picadilly, London, has re -opened for interviews of some of the 7,000 Britons who Will fly on priority air passages to Ontario, under a new scheme just announced by Mr. 3.

Hopeful immigrants are shown writing out application forms at Rainbow Corner, beneath the badge of ,the Province of Ontario. Sports - One Thi or j'l SAI then By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic") Professional basketball has been tried in the city of Toronto -tried, and found wanting in just one vital essential. The advance •ballyhoo was ornate and gaudy; press and radio support most generous; players were of the All Star Variety although, at times, they did perform as though they hadn't been properly introduced to one another. Just one thing was lacking -namely, cash customers in sufficiently paying quantities. * * Putting it baldly, the whole thing was a promotional flop; and while it's easy to be wise after the event, there were those of us 'who pointed out to the 'promoters -or tried to -what a mistake they were Making right from the start. They overlook- ed the fact that, while 1000 custom- ers at $150 apiece put just as much dough in the 'cash -register as 5000 at four -bits, it is by no means the' sante: thing in the, -,matter of building, up a='following. Instead of leaking sure that the joint was packed -even with -dead-heads - for their first half-dozen games, they acted as if all they had to do was open the doors and have folks come a -crowd- ing, cash in hand. And there's no- thing as chilling as a couple of thou- sand people trying to sound enthu- siastic in a place built to hold seven or eight times that many. * 'I' * DISAPPOINTMENT. There is said to have been great anticipation among the black flies and nlosqui- quitoes of Northern Ontario at the news. of the eminent Gypsy Rose Lee visiting those parts. Some of Modern Rustlers Travel by Truck Saskatchewan ranchers' action in posting standing rewards for the arrest and conviction of cattle rust- lers provides an interesting remind- er that much of Western Canada still is pioneer country, although the old "wild west" is gone, says The Edmonton Journal. Present day rustlers do not face the. prospect of being hanged to the nearest tree if caught, but posting standing re- wards of $100 indicates ranchers feel the need for vigilance in pro- tecting their stock. The money may bring in information that will assist the police in rounding up the th ievcs Stockmen admit rustling has de- creased following the postwar boons in black market beef. But they claim enough livestock still is stolen to warrant the payment of rewards for capture of the thieves. Stalin Draws Plans For a New Moscow Prime Minister Joseph Stalin has personally drawn tip a plan to re- build Moscow as a "harmonious ar- chitectural creation expressing the noble ideas of Commnism," radio Moscow said. • Quoting an article in the Soviet newspaper Izvestia, it said the new city would contain avenues, squares, and parks grouped around the Kremlin, in addition to monumental buildings and "beautiful modern houses" to be built over many square miles of ground. Nestling around the outskirts t,f the city -Would be cottages surround - 'td by gardens, Mr. Stalin has plan- ted. g them were even rumored as trying to hum Bach's "Air for the G - String" as they honed and stropped their stingers. But, alas, Miss Lee, like a good trouper, keeps, profes- sional costume for professional ap- pearances, and so presents no softer target than any average camper. * * * A reverend gentleman has re- cently come out with a heated blast against wrestling and wrestlers -one which we think is somewhat unfair. Having been, in our time, mixed up more closely than most folks with the - sport, business, racket, call what you like - of wrestling, we feel in a position to speak by the book. And while we have seen wrestling fans, male and female, stirred by excitement to actions that were hardly either po- lite or elevating -well, we might say the very same regarding what we have witnessed at, say, a Rev. Billy Sunday Tabernacle: ,i. * * As for the grapplers personally - take them by and large, the quietest, decentest, best -living bunch you'll find in any line of physical endea- vor. Wrestling two, three and four times a week, they haven't the time, even if they had the inclination, for any real Cain -raising outside the ring. If some of their antics verge on the crude -well, as Shakespere said, "the drama's laws the drama's patrons give"; and modern wrest- ling is all of 90 per cent drama. Anyway, we are proud to count a large number of wrestlers, as well as many Ministers, among our per- sonal friends. And if we don't happen to attend wrestling matches as often as we used to, the same goes for Church service as well. * * * • Looking at ,some cherries priced at $2.00 per basket not long ago, we overheard an old -tinier say to his companion, "I can remember the time when we could buy cherries like those as low as 25c a basket." Then, after a pause, he added, "Yes; and the two -bits was just as hard to get hold of as the two dollars is nown days." * t: * Swimming from Ireland to Scot- land a long-distance swimmer re- cently covered the 55 miles of tur- bulent water in slightly over 14 hours. If you have any Scots friends, suggest to them that if he'd swum the other c wayhis eager- ness to escape would have probably made him cut the time in half. Then prepare to duck, but fast! * 4' * BRICKS AND LUMBER ONLYP It is reported that our Provincial Government has been informing prospective settlers from Britain that, here in our- beloved Ontario, they can expect to buy comfortable homes for around $3000 per copy.

The ambitious insect is well aware of the value of air transport in get- ting around a land so much larger than its original home in the Pa- cific. Every Summer it makes use of planes, travelling as a stowaway or hitch hiker, and coming aboard clinging boldly to some traveller who may be munching lima bean vines in Ohio a few hours later. Now the Department of Agricul tur'e's Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine has employed five girls to serve as inspectors at• La- Guardia Field, with the duty of watching for outbound beetles at- tached to the back of a gabardine suit or iridescently ornamenting a wash frock. What S.cLence Is Doing. Casein Bristles Hog bristles seem to be fighting a losing battle. Long years ago, such bristles were used in watches until displaced by the hair spring of steel, And for a long time the hog was the' undisputed leader in the produc- tion of duality bristles for paint brushes, writes W. P. K. in The Christian Science M minor, During the war, however, the hog was forced to take a back seat by the appearance of synthetic bristles of various kinds. And now there is a new threat to his former monop- oly. A mixture of casein, obtained from skim milk, and water is ex- truded through a suitable die and then subjected to finishing opera- tions The resulting bristle is round in cross section and black like horse- hair or"Chinapig bristle and can be produced in any length or diameter desired. The casein bristles are said to be particularly well adapted for use in paint brushes because they are re- sistant to oils and organic solvents. In defense of the local hogs it probably should be mentioned that most of the hog bristles used here come from China and Europe. Not, we hasten to add, that our domestic hogs couldn't raise nice bristles. It is just that the local bristles are not long enough, due to the fact that American hog raisers do not, as a rule, keep boars long -enough to grow bristles of the desired length, of&sea Bites - Neat Rash tes- NeatRasds Quicki Stop itching of insect bites, heat rash; , eczema, h ves, pimples, scales, scabies, athlete's foot end other externally caused skin troubles.
