HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1947-10-09, Page 7TEEN -TOWN TOPICS (lam By BARRY MURKAR Football is the main topic of controversy in the school halls these days. Every high school and collegiate in the province is in there pitching for the home team. But along with watching the game, the ,pectators enjoy the pleasant privilege of watching those cute little cheer leaders in the short skirts and blaring sweaters. Cheerleaders for most of the school teams have already been chosen. Among the names we see: For Danforth Tech: June Joy, Gwen Thornber, Joan Dowes, Elia Ainsekorpi; Brampton: Jean Arscott, Mary Elliott and Dorothy Lilly along -with three new ones, Helen Beck- ford, Jane Austin and Beth Townsend; York Memorial: Jean Stelle, Gloria Nesbit, Viola Prince. Dorothy Hourston, Aud- drey Hourston, Anne Agnelli and Eileen Palmer. What We Want Since our letters went out ask- ing for correspondents for Teen - Town Topics, we have had sev- eral_ letters inquiring just what is wanted in the way of news. We want news of your teen -club, its members and the activities of the club in general. If you have a story on any certain member of the club, send that along, too. Anything that you think will make for interesting reading for teeners is just what we want for this column. Let's have some of that stuff, please, and please print all names. Our Teeners Report Colborne, Ont. - Beverlie Wil- son: Our Keen Club has not open- ed for the new season yet. Last year we had close to a hundred members. All members have a membership card and must show it before they are admitted. Mem- bers may bring friends, but no outsiders are allowed. Last year we held dances every Friday night. We held several dances in the Town Hall to raise funds for a tennis court in our new Memor- ial Park. Last year we were very much taken up with our Choral Club under the direction of Mr. Dine and hope to continue with same this year. This year we are going to form a bowling club..A meeting about this will be called. in a few days. We are especial- ly proud of two of our Keen Klub members who passed fifth form last year. The first -Anne Hart who won a four hundred dollar scholarship, However she started in training for a nurse before she knew about the scholarship. The second - Margaret Rutherford who has just begun a year at Normal. Margaret won the school ring for being the most lady -like girl in the school. She has won additional acclaim of Iate for her popularity and work at the Jun- ior Farmers' summer camp. Runnymede Collegiate -Velma Davis: Our teen clubs in this lo- cality are separate from the col- legiate. We have plenty of activ- ity in both during the winter and will try to report the news as it occurs, once things get under way. We have not had our elections for the new year yet, but will be starting soon. Racial Discrimination Bill Torgis of Canadian High News wasn't fooling when he made the statement that many people would be shocked about the case in, Toronto recently where a Jewish boy was insulted and re- buked in a public place. Holding his temper at the time, the boy went on eating while three other young bums called him very nasty names. Finally they came over and made grabs at the food he was eating. Following this, they threw wet toast at him which soiled his clothes. He quietly told them to stop; that he wanted no trouble. The trio left the restau•• rant but not before telling the Jewish boy they would get him outside. One of the waiters con- tacted a policeman. While the of- ficer was talking to the trio out- side and four more, who had joined them, the Jewish boy went his way. It's a fine state of affairs when a Jewish lad can't sit down to eat without some filthy -mouthed Canadian yelling at him, and tell- ing him to go back to Palestine. I'm a Canadian right through, but this is one thing that :Indies me feel sorry that I am even link- ed with the likes of some that we have hanging around. Yes, .rill Torgis, we were shocked at this story. We also agree with you that something should be done NOW to change this ill-founded feeling of superiority on the part of a small minority of Canada's younger generation. Here is a chance for you read- ers. What would you suggest in a case like this, Send us Itr view point on the matter and we'11 pool the letters for a feature ar- ticle in the very near future. GRAND CHAMPION - Prince Bandolier 7th, one of the great "Bandolier line" bulls owned by Ful -O -Pep feeders, Edward Bros., Watford, Ontario. This bull was also Grand Champion of the 1946 Royal Winter Fair. S orts d ]Ike Thing r Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit With the football season about half over, the two points' that have principally impressed us are these. First, that the forward pass is a weapon much resembling our Great uncle's muzzle loading shotgun, which had such a potent kick that it was far more likely to injure the shooter than the game. And second, that in these days of widespread education and expert coaching, it is amazing how many quarterbacks still suffer from the delusion that games are won down in the shadow of their own goalposts. * * * We haven't the statistics at hand -nor are we going to dig among the figures for them -on how many vic- tories have already been gained as a direct result of the interception of one or more enemy forward passes. But we wouldn't mind risking a small wager that it is considerably more than the number won as a re- sult of forward 'passes clicking. As an example; take the game a week or so ago when the Toronto Argonauts handily upset the favored Ottawa Rough Riders. On our way home we met a chap who asked us how the battle had gone. "Well," we said, preparing to give him a blow-by-blow description, "for one thing, Argos intercepted seven Ottawa forwards." "That's enough," he said, stopping us in mid -career, "how much did they win by?" As for our second point, the best illustration that comes immediately to mind is something that happened down in Montreal. With less than five minutes to play, the Hamilton Tigers needed a touchdown to tie things up. Yet down around their own 20 -yard line their quarterback called for two line plunges before kicking -thus wasting precious time which should have been employed in booting the ball as far as possible, and then praying hard that the catch- er fumble. For, in spite of all mod- ern improvements, that ancient com- bination of a punt and a prayer is still the most deadly weapon in Canadian football. Nowadays they seem to have forgotten how to punt, and aren't so hot in the praying de- partment either. * * * MEMO TO BUSINESS MEN. When it was recently proposed to ta.t- football on a professional basis, it is rumored that one of the most powerful arguments against such ac- tion was the football folks being able to convince the Ottawa autho- rities that they weren't making any stoney. This might be a plan worth trying out on the tax people, next time your business happens to finish in the red. Still, somehow we wouldn't advise building your hopes too high on getting away with it! * * * Memories of a past we had thought safely buried were stirred by a report from Germany that Max Schmeling, of all people, is fighting again and, what is more, winning bouts. For a lot of water has gone over a number of dams and, among other things, a guy named Hitler -- remember hint? -has come and gone since the days when the same Mr. Schmeling was the best-known Ger- man in the world. * * Two of his bouts which we hap- pened to witness are memorable, less for the actual fighting titan for the way they ended. The first, against Sharkey in New York, wound up in just about the most hectic mixup we Critic") have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Schmeling was awarded the duke because of an allegedly foul blow delivered just 5 seconds before the finish of the 4th round. But the award wasn't made till some four minutes later; and in the meantime that ring was swarming with man- agers, seconds, fighters and officials in a manner beautiful to behold - from a safe distance -with a battle - royal threateni. _ to break out at any second, although -much to our personal disappointment - it didn't quite come to that. For it has al- ways been our ambition to see some boxing managers do a little real fighting, instead of standing safely in the corner hollering, "Mix it with him, kid. he can't hurt us." * * The other Schmeling bout we recall was with 'Young' Stribling in Cleve- land. And it comes back to us not so much on account of the German scoring a technical knockout in the 15th, but because the promoters, with some 37 thousand people paying something like 350 thousand dollars to see the fracas, somehow or other contrived to lose fifty grand or more for their efforts. Now, 18 years after his American debut, Schmeling is in the news again; and first thing we know, will be in process of being smoked up as a logical opponent for Joe Louis. k * * A city hotelman we know, driving in the country, stopped at a roadside stand and priced some of the vege- tables displayed. "I'd think," he said, "that right here where the stuff is grown and with you not having to make delivery or anything like that, you'd make your prices a bit lower." The farmer, who had recognized his prospective customer,. made reply. "Back at Exhibition time I dropped into your place' and had a glass of beer that was made right there in Toronto," he said. "And if I remem- ber rightly, the price was the full ten cents!" FREE OFFER Farming has advanced greatly in the past fifty years.

Canadian Workers Given Free Tuition At Frontier College Canada has a remarkably suc- cessful college about which all too many Canadians know little or nothing. It is called Frontier College and its classrooms are in the lumbering, pulpwood, railway and mining camps scattered all over the country. The pupils are the workers in these camps, most- ly new Canadians who have only a smattering of English. The teacher -laborers are young vol- unteers who are going through our universities. During the work hours at the camps they do the same kind of labor as their pu- pils. There will be 70 of them this year, divided among the outposts of the different provinces. No tuition fees are charged and there is a wide variety of subjects, the only ones banned being those of a controversial nature such as politics, Felt SALE Fox. and deet' hounds, bred front choice stock. 11.
