Sports — And One Thhlg or A titter By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixhit Right now, in honor of Princess Elizabeth's forthcoming marriage, people of various Canadian com- munities are preparing to send over donations of food to the under- nourished people of Britain. Then, in just a few months, we propose to ship a whole bunch of hungry ath- letes and their hangers-on over there, to take part in a set of games which the British—and the rest of the world, for that matter — are about as much in need of as they need a third World War. If that doesn't figure out as a screwball proposition, any way you look at it, at least it should serve till the real thing comes along Of course it will be argued that the Canadian Olympic athletes will take their own food along with them. To that we reply, O.K.—send that food to be eaten by folks who really need it, and let our athletes stay at home. * * * It is our personal opinion that the British authorities have made a great mistake in not calling the whole thing off before this, as it puts them in a false position—especially in the United States—to be stressing their need for Western World assistance and, at the same time, preparing to stage such an unnecessary and fool- ish affair as the Olympics. But if British pride won't allow them to cancel the show, at least let us stay out of it. Right after a family has come through a combination fire and earthquake isn't the time to go paying them social visits, even if they are close relatives. :' * * The political orator was working up towards his peroration and, like most of Iris tribe, using plenty of oldies as though they were new - minted thoughts of his own..."After all, my friends." he said, "nothing in this world is absolutely certain, ex- cept death and taxes." Ile paused to Wipe his fevered brow. "Oh, nor" conic the voice of a heckler from the rear. "11'hat about hearty applause from a radio studio audience?" c Gate receipts $6,972; expenses $7,455; net loss $743—that's the re- sult of a football game in Ottawa, played for sweet charity's sake—for the benefit of the crippled children. And it was between two amateur teams, of course for we all know that we haven't any such thing as professional football in Canada. 4: * * That's the way the whole sweet - scented affair stands at this writing; and it should be a warning to all charitable organizations, too many of whom allow their names to be tacked onto promotions put through by gents who believe that Charity not only begins at home, but also ends there. One of the teams in- volved got something between $4,500 and $5,000 out of it; which, even in these days of high prices, would buy quite a lot of train fares, bandages and liniment All we hope is that the crippled kids won't be asked to kick in to make tip the deficit. * * * No matter how they try to smooth it over or explain it away, we think that the Ottawa Trojans and Mont • real Alonettes have been guilty of a very grave mistake. It isn't so long ago that there was serious talk of taxing football on a professional basis, but the promoters of that sport managed to wiggle through without getting nicked. But now with this happening ---and is:ppening tight in the taxing authorities own hack yard —well, when the inevitable takes Critic") place, they can console themselves with the thought that they certainly asked for, it! * * * To many of those whose entire waking hours scent to be spent within earshot of that great inven- tion, The Radio, news of Mr Petrillo's ban on any future tnusica recordings came as a ray of sunlight bursting through a dark and for- bidding sky. But now comes this awful thought—maybe those much - publicized geniuses, the disk -jock- eys, are readying for us entire pro- grams composed of nothing but Singing Commercials! * * * According to a recent newspaper report, the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Team has a friendly interest in, and lends an -occasional helping' hand to—among others—such ama- teur clubs as Toronto Marlboros, Senior •and. Junior; Winnipeg Mon- archs ; Oshawa Generals; as well as one or more junior outfits in North- ern Ontario. * * * This may be all very well if you are one of the many to whom the success or failure of the Maple Leafs is all that really matters in the sport of hockey. But if you were just a sports -lover in a small town, trying to keep the kids of your com- munity interested in playing the game, we very muck fear that you wouldn't look at it in exactly the same light. In fact we think that, sooner or later, you'd begin to wonder if it wasn't pretty near time for an entirely new deal for the little fellow not blessed with any such wealthy and generous relatives. * * 1: Into a Toronto restaurant the other day carte a man—at least he had the outward appearance of a man—who proceeded to put on an amazing demonstration of sheer gluttony. Mowing down the victuals at record-breaking speed, he got away with four full-size meat or- ders—each with regular complement of vegetables on the side—and then topped it off with nine separate and distinct desserts! Although trying to appear oblivious of the stares of the astonished specators, he was obvi- ously enjoying the sensation he created. But he didn't linger long after an old gentleman, who had been watching the performance, ap- proached. "If you're thinking of sell- ing yourself any time, Mister," said the old gent, "I'd advise you to do it right away, as 1 don't think the price of hogs will ever get Nigher!" Something New: Iron -Bearing COWS Pity the poor cow in this modern century. Time was when Bossie could mind her own business,, eat what she liked. But not now.';Let her go off her feed, or get a little dry and a veterinary is on her tall promptly. However, the last straw, from Bossie's point of view, is the latest wrinkle being developed at the On- tario Agricultural College, They etre now going to use mine detectors on her. When the detector passes over the stomach of the cow toward the frost and toward the udder, no extraord- inary sound is heard but as soon as the detector passes over the area where the metal is located the tole of the instrument immediately dies sharply. The gold fish had better move over. 13ossie has just as Tittle privacy nowadays. Classified Advertising AGENTS WANTED OILS, GREASES, TIRES, Insecticides, Electric Fence Controllers.

Yelling for assistance she ran from her home towared the frightened child. HEARS WIFE'S CRIES When Alex Canavan heard his wife's cries, he rushed out on the second floor balcony to see what was the matter. Realizing there was not a moment to lose, and that his wife could not possibly reach the child in time, he vaulted over the balcony and leaped two floors to the ground. IN THE NICK OF TIME Attracted by the excitement, the child's horror-stricken mother looked on as a race de- veloped between Canavan and the fast -approaching train. The engine was only a few yards from the terrified child when Canavan leaped onto the tracks. Snatching the baby from almost under the wheels, Canavan hurled himself and young Jackie clear. Together they rolled down the embankment — safe! Such cool courage and quick thinking in an emergency is worthy of the admiration of every Canadian. We are proud to pay tribute to these fine qualities in Alex Canavan of Sydney Mines; N.S., through the presentation of The Dow Award. THE DOW AWARD is a citation for outstanding hero• ism and includes, as a tangible expression of appreciation, a $roo Canada Savings Bond. Winners are selected by tits Dow Award Committee, a group of editors of leading Canadian daily newspapers. It was an emergency that called for immediate action, Alex Canavan leaped from his second floor balcony and raced to the child's rescue.
